Abstract
A scroll compressor includes: a frame configured to support a second scroll by being coupled to a first scroll; a sealing member insertion groove formed in a ring shape, on at least one of one side surface of the second scroll and one side surface of the frame contacting the second scroll; and a sealing member formed in a ring shape, inserted into the sealing member insertion groove, and configured to divide an interval between the second scroll and the frame in a radial direction, wherein the sealing member is formed such that a sectional surface of an inner circumferential surface thereof is smaller than that of an outer circumferential surface thereof, and such that a second gap between the outer circumferential surface of the sealing member and an outer side wall surface of the sealing member insertion groove is smaller than or equal to a first gap between the inner circumferential surface of the sealing member and an inner side wall surface of the sealing member insertion groove.
