  • Patent number: 11881746
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides a rotor and a motor having the rotor. By providing a plurality of flux barrier groups and slot groups at intervals in a circumferential direction of the rotor iron core, it is possible to flexibly arrange the numbers of the flux barrier groups and the slot groups so as to meet the requirements for the number of poles of different products. In addition, by flexibly adjusting the quantity ratio between the flux barrier groups and the slot groups and/or the quantity relationship between the flux barriers in the flux barrier group and the slots in the slot group, it is possible to meet the requirements for motor efficiency and starting capacity of different products. Further, since the processing jig of the rotor only requires processing of the structures of the flux barriers and the slots, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

    Abstract: A motor includes a rotor and a stator, the rotor includes flux barriers. In a plane orthogonal to an axial direction, at least two flux barriers corresponding to each pole of the rotor are located entirely within an extending angle. A magnitude of the extending angle is determined by a number of poles of the rotor and phases of the motor. A center line of the extending angle is a q-axis of the rotor. A ratio between an area of the flux barrier entirely located within the extending angle and an area of all flux barriers corresponding to the pole is about ½ or more, and a ratio between an area of a radially innermost flux barrier entirely located within the extending angle and an area of a radially outermost flux barrier entirely located within the extending angle and a smaller one of the two areas is about 10% or less.
