Abstract: A permanent magnet rotating electrical machine capable of conducting a variable speed operation at high output in a wide range from low speed to high speed and improving efficiency and reliability in a wide operating range. Two kinds of permanent magnets having different shapes or different magnetic characteristics are embedded in a rotor core, to form a magnetic pole. The permanent magnets arranged at the magnetic pole include a permanent magnet whose product of coercive force and thickness along a magnetizing direction is small and a permanent magnet whose product of coercive force and thickness along the magnetizing direction is large. A magnetic field created by passing a current to an armature coil for a short time is used to irreversibly magnetize the permanent magnet whose product of coercive force and thickness along magnetizing direction is small, thereby changing a total linkage flux amount, and a positive d-axis current is passed when torque is large.

Abstract: The present invention provides a permanent-magnet-type rotating electrical machine capable of realizing variable-speed operation in a wide range from low speed to high speed at high output and improving, in a wide operating range, efficiency, reliability, and productivity. A narrow magnetic path 11 is formed in a rotor core 2 of a rotor 1 at an inter-pole yoke that magnetically connects adjacent pole core portions 7 to each other, so that the narrow magnetic path is magnetically saturated with flux of a magnetic field created by a predetermined magnetizing current passed to an armature coil 21. Each of first permanent magnets 3 at each of the pole core portions 7 is magnetized with a magnetic field created by a magnetizing current passed to the armature coil 21, to irreversibly change the flux amount of the first permanent magnet.

Abstract: An increase of the magnetization current can be prevented during demagnetization and magnetization, and a variable speed operation can be achieved at a high power output over a wide range of from a low speed to a high speed. A rotor (1) is configured by a rotor core (2), a variable magnetic force magnet (3) and a fixed magnetic force magnet (4). A variable magnetic force magnet (3) and a fixed magnetic force magnet (4a) are overlapped in the magnetization direction thereof to form a series of magnets. The series of magnets is located within the rotor core at a position where the magnetization direction is in the direction of a d-axis. On either side of the series of magnets of the variable magnetic force magnet (3) and the fixed magnetic force magnet (4a), fixed magnetic force magnets (4b, 4b) are located at a position where the magnetization direction is in the direction of the d-axis.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a rotor 1 has rotor cores 2a, 2b divided in the axial direction. a permanent magnet 30 is mounted at the position of each of the magnetic poles of cores. The permanent magnet 30 of each magnetic pole is configured by a single tabular member that penetrates the two divided cores in the axial direction. Convex parts 31a, 31b are respectively provided on the outer peripheries of the respective magnetic poles of the rotor cores along the axial direction of the rotor. The convex parts 31a, 31b are provided to positions that are displaced for each of the two divided cores. The magnetic flux density increases in the convex parts, which becomes the magnetic pole center. Since the convex parts positions are displaced to each other, a skew function can be exhibited even if the permanent magnet is mounted at the same position.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a rotor is configured by a rotor core and magnetic poles. Two or more types of permanent magnets are used such that each product of coercivity and thickness in the magnetization direction becomes different. A stator is located outside the rotor with air gap therebetween and configured by an armature core winding. At least one permanent magnet is magnetized by a magnetic field by a current of the armature winding to change a magnetic flux content thereof irreversibly. A short circuited coil is provided to surround a magnetic path portion of the other permanent magnet excluding the magnet changed irreversibly and a portion adjacent to the other permanent magnet where the magnetic flux leaks. A short-circuit current is generated in the short circuited coil by the magnetic flux generated by conducting a magnetization current to the winding. A magnetic field is generated by the short-circuit current.
