Scroll compressor with controlled pressing force
A scroll compressor, includes: a scroll compression mechanism including an orbiting scroll, a fixed scroll, and a thrust plate supporting a load of the orbiting scroll in a thrust direction; a back-pressure application mechanism that applies, as back pressure, the refrigerant gas compressed by the scroll compression mechanism to a rear surface of the thrust plate; and a floating amount restriction mechanism that restricts an amount of floating of the thrust plate caused by the back pressure. The floating amount restriction mechanism includes a restriction pin that includes a shaft part and a head part, and locks the thrust plate to the head part to restrict the amount of floating. The shaft part passes through the thrust plate and has a front end part fixed to a front housing, and the head part has a diameter larger than a diameter of the shaft part.
