Co-Rotating Scroll Compressor Having Synchronization Mechanism

A compressor comprising:

• a shell assembly;
• a first compression member rotatable relative to the shell assembly about a first axis;
• a bearing housing coupled to the first compression member and rotatable relative to the shell assembly about the first axis, the bearing housing including a plurality of pins extending therefrom;
• and
• a second compression member rotatable relative to the shell assembly about a second axis that is spaced apart from the first axis, the second compression member cooperates with the first compression member to define fluid pockets, the second compression member including:
• a base plate;
• and
• pin pockets formed in the base plate and receiving a respective pin, each of the pin pockets having a working surface,
• wherein the first compression member is moveable between a first position in which only one of the pins of the plurality of pins is engaged with the working surface of a respective pin pocket and a second position in which the one of the pins of the plurality of pins is disengaged from the working surface of the respective pin pocket.

• a pin coupled to the first compression member and received in the pin pocket,
• wherein the first compression member is moveable between a first position in which the pin is engaged with a surface of the pin pocket and a second position in which the pin is disengaged from the surface of the pin pocket,
• wherein the surface of the pin pocket is a working surface having a first arc center, and wherein the pin pocket further includes a non-working surface having a second arc center that is spaced apart from the first arc center.
