1. A scroll compressor comprising a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll each formed by erecting a spiral lap on a bed plate and meshed with each other to form a suction room and a plurality of compression rooms between the two scrolls, the plurality of compression rooms are compressed by reducing its volume by orbiting the orbiting scroll, and a back pressure room whose internal pressure is higher than the pressure in the suction room is disposed on the rear face of the bed plate of the orbiting scroll, wherein:

  • the lap shapes of the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll are configured in an asymmetric tooth profile in which an external line side compression room formed on the external line side of the orbiting scroll lap and an internal line side compression room formed on the internal line side of the same differ in orbiting angle at the time of completion of suction;

    a fluid effluence channel for the external line side compression room communicating with the external line side compression room of the orbiting scroll lap and a fluid effluence channel for the internal line side compression room communicating with the internal line side compression room of the orbiting scroll lap are formed on the bed plate of the orbiting scroll;

    the outlet side opening of each of the fluid effluence channels is so formed as to open in the lap tooth bottom of the orbiting scroll that constitutes the plurality of compression rooms;

    the inlet side opening of each of the fluid effluence channels is so formed as to open in the bed plate face of the orbiting scroll that slides in contact with the bed plate sliding face of the fixed scroll;

    in the face of the bed plate of the fixed scroll in contact with the bed plate of the orbiting scroll,a communicating section control groove that lets the back pressure room and the external line side compression room intermittently communicate with each other by letting the inlet side opening of the fluid effluence channel for the external line side compression room and the back pressure room intermittently communicate with each other along with the orbiting motion of the orbiting scroll,a communicating section control groove that lets the back pressure room and the internal line side compression room intermittently communicate with each other by letting the inlet side opening of the fluid effluence channel for the internal line side compression room and the back pressure room intermittently communicate with each other along with the orbiting motion of the orbiting scroll are provided,the communicating section control groove that lets the back pressure room and the external line side compression room intermittently communicate with each other and the communicating section control groove that lets the back pressure room and the internal line side compression room intermittently communicate with each other are formed of a common single groove, andthe respective inlet side openings of the two fluid effluence channels are separated by a distance that is smaller than a length of a radius of a circumference defined by the bed plate of the orbiting scroll, so that the respective inlet side openings of the two fluid effluence channels are adjacent to one another.
