An apparatus for preventing a vacuum state in a scroll compressor
including a hermetic container divided into a high pressure space and a
low pressure space; a fixed scroll provided inside the hermetic
container; and an orbiting scroll orbiting in a state of being
interlocked with the fixed scroll, comprises: a connecting passage for
connecting the high pressure space, the low pressure space and a
compression pocket to each other, wherein the compression pocket is
formed by a wrap of the fixed scroll and a wrap of the orbiting scroll; a
slider movably inserted in the connecting passage, for allowing the high
pressure space and the low pressure space of the hermetic container to
communicate with or be blocked from each other by a pressure difference
between the low pressure space of the hermetic container and the
compression pocket; and an elastic support means for elastically
supporting the slider, thereby preventing vacuumization of the inside of
the hermetic container in operation, and making a smooth operation for
preventing the vacuumization.
