Disclosed is a vacuum preventing device including a housing engaged to one
side of an outer circumference portion of a fixed scroll to divide the
area into a discharge region and a suction region, a chamber formed in
the housing and having a compression hole connected to a compression
region at one side therein, a suction hole connected to a suction region
at the other side therein, and a discharge hole connected to a discharge
region at a middle side therein, an open/close member is movably
installed in the chamber to selectively connect the discharge hole to the
suction hole, and an elastic member is installed in the chamber to
provide an elasticity force to the open/close member.
