A compressor may include first and second scroll members, first and second bearing housings, and a motor assembly. The first scroll member includes a first end plate and a first spiral wrap extending from the first end plate. The second scroll member includes a second end plate and a second spiral wrap extending from the second end plate and intermeshed with the first spiral wrap to define compression pockets therebetween. The first bearing housing supports the first scroll member for rotation about a first rotational axis. The second bearing housing may support the second scroll member for rotation about a second rotational axis that is parallel to and offset from the first rotational axis. The motor assembly may be disposed axially between the first and second bearing housings and may include a rotor attached to the first scroll member. The rotor may surround the first and second end plates.

A pin-ring mechanism that transmits driving force to cause a driving-side scroll member and a driven-side scroll member to perform rotational movement in a same direction at a same angular velocity is provided. A driving-side end plate includes a ring member installation hole into which a ring member is inserted and installed. The ring member installation hole includes a non-wall-side hole part and a wall-side hole part. The non-wall-side hole part is formed from a non-wall-side surface and has a diameter corresponding to an outer diameter of the ring member. The wall-side hole part is formed from a wall-side surface and has a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the ring member.

There is provided a co-rotating scroll compressor in which a driving-side scroll member including a spiral wall between facing end plates can be manufacturable at low cost. A driving-side scroll member (70) includes a first driving-side scroll portion (71), a second driving-side scroll portion (72), and a bolt (31). The first driving-side scroll portion (71) includes a first driving-side end plate (71a) and a first driving-side wall (71b), and is driven by a motor (5). The second driving-side scroll portion (72) includes a second driving-side end plate (72a) and a second driving-side wall (72b). The bolt (31) performs fixing while a front end in a rotation axis direction of the first driving-side wall (71b) and a front end in the rotation axis direction of the second driving-side wall (72b) face each other.

This co-rotating scroll compressor is provided with: a first side plate (27) which is arranged on the side of a drive-side rotational axis direction (CL1) with respect to a drive-side scroll member (70) and a driven-side scroll member (90), a second side plate (30) fixed at a predetermined gap in the direction of the drive-side rotational axis (CL1) with respect to the first side plate (27), and a center plate (20) arranged between the first side plate (27) and the second side plate (30). The first side plate (27) is fixed to the driven-side scroll member (90), and the center plate (20) is fixed to the drive-side scroll member (70). A synchronization drive mechanism equipped with a crank pin (15) is disposed between the first side plate (27) and second side plate (30) and the center plate (20).

A scroll compressor includes a shell, a fixed scroll and an orbiting scroll disposed in the shell, a first scroll wrap and a second scroll wrap that are provided in the fixed scroll and the orbiting scroll, respectively, and that are engaged with each other to form a plurality of compression chambers, a crankshaft that causes the orbiting scroll to perform eccentric revolving motion, a tip seal member that is inserted in the tip of the second scroll wrap along the spiral direction and that is in sliding contact with the first baseplate of the fixed scroll, and injection ports that are provided through the first baseplate of the fixed scroll and that introduce refrigerant at an intermediate pressure between suction pressure and discharge pressure into the compression chambers from the outside of the shell.

A co-rotating scroll compressor that can achieve a longer operating life of a synchronous driving mechanism is provided. This compressor includes the synchronous driving mechanism that transmits driving force from a driving-side scroll member to a driven-side scroll member such that the driving-side scroll member and the driven-side scroll member perform rotation movement in a same direction at a same angular velocity. The synchronous driving mechanism includes a crankpin (15) and a rolling bearing (18) that rotatably supports a shaft portion (15b) of the crankpin (15). The rolling bearing (18) includes an inner ring (18b) fitted to the shaft portion (15b) and an outer ring (18a) fitted to a first side plate (27) that supports the shaft portion (15b). A sealing member (40) that extends to a side portion of the inner ring (18b) is fixed to a side portion of the outer ring (18a).

A co-rotating scroll compressor includes a driving-side scroll member that is rotationally driven by a driving unit and includes a spiral driving-side wall disposed on a driving-side end plate, and a driven-side scroll member (90) that includes a driven-side wall corresponding to the driving-side wall. The driven-side wall is disposed on a driven-side end plate (90a) and engages with the driving-side wall to form a compression chamber. A first support member (33) is provided to a front end of a first driven-side wall (91b) in an axis direction. The first support member (33) is connected to the front end by a positioning pin (40) positioning a phase around a rotation axis, and rotates together with the first driven-side wall (91b). The positioning pin (40) is pressed into the first support member (33) and is fitted into the first driven-side wall (91b) in a non-pressed-in state.
