Disclosed is a scroll compressor enabling a significant height reduction
to use a space of a system efficiently when the scroll compressor is applied to
such systems as a refrigerator, an air conditioner, and the like. A compressor
housing forms an exterior, a crankcase is fixed inside the compressor housing,
a boss is formed at a central portion thereof to protrude downward, and a bearing
hole is formed in a center thereof. A stator having a hollow shape is fixed to
a lower side of the crankcase, and a rotor is provided to maintain a clearance
between an outer circumferential surface of the stator and an inner circumferential
surface thereof. A crankshaft is provided to pass through the bearing hole and
is fixed to the rotor to revolve together with the rotor, wherein an eccentric
pin is formed on an upper side thereof. A orbiting scroll is connected to the eccentric
pin, and a fixed scroll fixed to an upper side of the crankcase to form a compression
chamber together with the orbiting scroll.
