Abstract
A scroll compressor includes a compression mechanism having fixed and orbiting scrolls engaged with each other to form a compression chamber. Each of the fixed and orbiting scrolls includes an end plate and a spiral wall-shaped wrap extending from the end plate. The fixed scroll has an injection port configured to communicate with the compression chamber through a communication passageway located in the fixed-side end plate. The orbiting-side wrap has a thick portion located at a position corresponding to the injection port and having an increasing tooth thickness portion. A tooth thickness of the increasing tooth thickness portion increases from a start of winding to an end of winding of the orbiting-side wrap. The thick portion has a thickness greater than or equal to a dimension of an opening of the injection port measured along a tooth thickness of the orbiting-side wrap.
