Compressor

A compressor comprising a container provided therein with a compressing mechanism for compressing refrigerant gas and an electric motor for driving the compressing mechanism, wherein

• the compressing mechanism comprises an oil separating mechanism, a fixed scroll, an orbiting scroll disposed so as to oppose the fixed scroll, a main bearing member for supporting a shaft that drives the orbiting scroll, and a discharge port,
• an interior of the container is divided by the compressing mechanism into a first container space and a second container space, and
• a discharge pipe for discharging the refrigerant gas to outside of the container from the first container space is provided, and the electric motor is disposed in the second container space, the oil separating mechanism separates oil from the refrigerant gas discharged from the discharge port of the compressing mechanism, and the oil separating mechanism comprises
• a cylindrical space in which the refrigerant gas flows spirally, the cylindrical space being formed in each of the fixed scroll and the main bearing member,
• an inflow portion for relaying the refrigerant gas discharged from the compressing mechanism into the cylindrical space before reaching the first container space or the second container space,
• a sending-out port for sending out the refrigerant gas from which the oil is separated, from the cylindrical space to the first container space, and
• an exhaust port for discharging the separated oil from the cylindrical space,
• the exhaust port being brought into communication with the second container space,
• the sending-out port is formed on a side of an upper end of the cylindrical space,
• the exhaust port is formed on a side of a lower end of the cylindrical space, and
• a center of the sending-out port is deviated relative to a center axis of the cylindrical space in a direction opposite to the flow portion.
