  • Publication number: 20240120815
    Abstract: A magnet fixing method includes heating a rotor core. The magnet fixing method also includes inserting one or more of magnets, to which fixing sheets are bonded, into the uppermost one or more of slots with the rotor core being rotatably supported by a rotating jig such that openings of the slots face sideways. The magnet fixing method also includes fixing each magnet to the corresponding slot by heating a foam layer to foam the foam layer. The inserting one or more of magnets includes inserting the magnets into all the slots by repeating insertion of one or more of the magnets into the corresponding one or more of the slots with the associated one or more of the fixing sheets facing upward, and rotation of the rotor core.

  • Patent number: 11004594
    Abstract: A surge voltage reduction member includes a tubular magnetic body having a through-hole and at least one coil wire. The coil wire is inserted through the through-hole and has a winding portion which is winded around a portion of the magnetic body. The coil wire is formed by connecting a bent coil element wire and a straight coil element wire. Where the coil wire has two or more bent coil element wires, the winding portion is formed by connecting the through-hole passing portion of one of adjacent bent coil element wires to the outside passing portion of the other of the adjacent bent coil element wires and connecting the outside passing portion of the one of the adjacent bent coil element wires to the straight coil element wire.
