Patent number: 8803395Abstract: A rotor includes a plurality of permanent magnets arranged annularly around an axis and a rotor core. The rotor core includes 2N (where N is a natural number) magnetic pole faces and a plurality of magnetic barriers. The 2N magnetic pole faces produce, due to the plurality of permanent magnets, magnetic poles in a radial direction in such a manner that different polarities can be alternately produced around the axis. The magnetic barriers are provided at a side close to the magnetic pole faces relative to the permanent magnets. At least one of the magnetic barriers is provided in each region obtained by equally dividing the rotor core into (2N+1), ((N+1)×2) or ((N?1)×2) angles around the axis.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2010Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Daikin Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Shintarou Araki, Akio Yamagiwa
