Abstract
The present invention provides a scroll compressor and a manufacturing method therefor, the scroll compressor comprising: a housing having a suction space in which a flow path, into which a refrigerant is suctioned, is formed and a flow path accommodation space allowing communication between a compression chamber and the suction space; a rotary shaft provided inside the housing so as to rotate; a compression part having an orbiting scroll orbitally provided at the rotary shaft and a fixed scroll coupled to the orbiting scroll so as to engage therewith, thereby forming the compression chamber between the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll so that the refrigerant can be discharged; and a variable-capacity member which is provided in the housing so as to allow communication with the flow path accommodation space, and which can open/close at least a portion of the flow path provided therein, so that some of the refrigerant compressed in the compression chamber can make a detour to the suction space through the flow path accommodation space inside the housing.
