A compressor comprising: a valve base plate located between a suction chamber and a compression chamber, wherein a suction port for connecting the suction chamber and the compression chamber with each other is formed in the valve base plate; a suction reed valve, which is elastically deformable and selectively opens and closes the suction port, wherein the suction reed valve is formed by: a fixed portion that is fixed to a fixing surface, the fixing surface being a surface of the valve base plate that faces the compression chamber; a base portion, which extends in a longitudinal direction of the suction reed valve from the fixed portion, wherein the base portion can be flexed; and a valve flap, which extends from the base portion toward a distal end in the longitudinal direction, wherein the valve flap selectively opens and closes the suction port, wherein the width of the base portion is shorter than the width of the valve flap, the valve base plate has a support portion for supporting a central area of the valve flap, and the suction port is formed through the valve base plate while leaving the support portion, characterized in that the valve base plate has a receiving portion for receiving a distal area of the valve flap, and a dimension of the receiving portion in a width direction, which is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the suction reed valve, is greater than that of the support portion. a valve base plate located between a suction chamber and a compression chamber, wherein a suction port for connecting the suction chamber and the compression chamber with each other is formed in the valve base plate; a suction reed valve, which is elastically deformable and selectively opens and closes the suction port, wherein the suction reed valve is formed by: a fixed portion that is fixed to a fixing surface, the fixing surface being a surface of the valve base plate that faces the compression chamber; a base portion, which extends in a longitudinal direction of the suction reed valve from the fixed portion, wherein the base portion can be flexed; and a valve flap, which extends from the base portion toward a distal end in the longitudinal direction, wherein the valve flap selectively opens and closes the suction port, wherein the width of the base portion is shorter than the width of the valve flap, the valve base plate has a support portion for supporting a central area of the valve flap, and the suction port is formed through the valve base plate while leaving the support portion, characterized in that the valve base plate has a receiving portion for receiving a distal area of the valve flap, and a dimension of the receiving portion in a width direction, which is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the suction reed valve, is greater than that of the support portion. a fixed portion that is fixed to a fixing surface, the fixing surface being a surface of the valve base plate that faces the compression chamber; a base portion, which extends in a longitudinal direction of the suction reed valve from the fixed portion, wherein the base portion can be flexed; and a valve flap, which extends from the base portion toward a distal end in the longitudinal direction, wherein the valve flap selectively opens and closes the suction port, wherein the width of the base portion is shorter than the width of the valve flap, the valve base plate has a support portion for supporting a central area of the valve flap, and the suction port is formed through the valve base plate while leaving the support portion, characterized in that the valve base plate has a receiving portion for receiving a distal area of the valve flap, and a dimension of the receiving portion in a width direction, which is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the suction reed valve, is greater than that of the support portion.
