  • Publication number: 20230318379
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, an embedded magnet rotor comprises a rotor shaft, a rotor core, permanent magnets and two end plates. The rotor core has electromagnetic steel sheets laminated axially, and two permanent magnet housing holes formed in a radially outer portion of the rotor core and arranged in a V-shape across each d axis with a circumferential interval. Each end plate has smaller outside diameter than the rotor core and is arranged at axial end to prevent the permanent magnets from protruding axial outward. The permanent magnet housing holes communicate with an outer side of an outer peripheral surface of the rotor core. The electromagnetic steel sheets in regions axially near the end plates of the rotor core have connection portions for connecting the electromagnetic steel sheets mutually.

  • Publication number: 20230318373
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, an embedded magnet rotor comprises: a rotor shaft, a rotor core having permanent magnet housing spaces; and flat plate-shaped permanent magnets. Permanent magnet housing spaces each extend more radially outward than a position where the permanent magnet is held by a magnet holding outer projection and each have a communication opening communicating with a gap space. A radial thickness of each of the two chips sandwiching the communication opening and a circumferential width of the communication opening are in such a dimensional relation as to prevent a fragment produced by break of the permanent magnet from protruding from the communication opening and coming into contact with the stator.
