  • Publication number: 20190036401
    Abstract: A rotor includes a rotary member, a plurality of permanent magnets disposed on an outer circumference of the rotary member, and a cover tube that is mounted to outer circumference of the permanent magnets to cover the permanent magnets, and is formed of a fiber reinforced plastic. At least one of the rotary member and the permanent magnets has a diameter enlarged portion having a diameter enlarged circumferential surface. The diameter enlarged portion has a diameter that enlarges from a first diameter region to a second diameter region. The first diameter region has a diameter equal to or less than an inner diameter of the cover tube. The second diameter region has a diameter equal to or more than an outer diameter of the permanent magnets.

  • Publication number: 20180218833
    Abstract: A multi-phase iron-core reactor has an iron core and windings. The iron core includes an outer iron core and an inner iron core. The outer iron core has teeth on which the N-phase windings are wound. The inner iron core faces the teeth through gaps, and has a shape so as to be able to provide at least two gap sizes in a selective manner.

  • Patent number: 9071112
    Abstract: A squirrel-cage rotor and a production method thereof, the rotor having conductors with sufficient strength. In the invention, conductor particles are sprayed onto a core and/or conductive bars in a solid-state. As a result, in the coating material, the enlargement of the crystal grain of the conductors is significantly restricted, whereby conductive end rings are connected to the core and/or the conductive bars. Since conductor particles do not melt, a gap formed by thermal contraction when the conductor melts between different kinds of members is prevented from being formed. Therefore, the deterioration of the conductor may be limited, and the conductor may have sufficient strength. The reliability of the rotor is improved.

  • Patent number: 8803399
    Abstract: A rotor including a cylindrical iron core having a through hole for receiving a rotational shaft, and a squirrel-cage conductive body including a plurality of conductive bars and a pair of annular conductive end rings provided at both ends of the plurality of conductive bars is provided. The conductive bars extend along a direction in which the rotational shaft is received and are arranged at an outer circumference of the iron core at certain intervals. The rotor further includes a conductive reinforcing layer extends on at least a part of an outer surface of the conductive end ring. The conductive reinforcing layer is formed by spraying conductive particles in a solid phase onto the outer surface of the conductive end ring.

  • Patent number: 8791618
    Abstract: A squirrel-cage rotor includes a rotor core formed having a plurality of slots, a plurality of conductor bars inserted into the slots respectively and made of copper or copper alloy, two conductor end rings joined to the plurality of conductor bars on both end faces of the rotor core and made of copper or copper alloy and a reinforcing-member end ring attached to at least one of the conductor end rings and made of material having a specific strength greater than that of either copper or copper alloy. The plurality of conductor bars are arranged so as to extend through the conductor end rings and the reinforcing-member end ring. Consequently, the rotor can be manufactured by any manufacturing method but die-casting. Further, the conductor end rings can be reinforced with an easily-obtainable material and additionally, the junction of conductor end rings can be easily viewed from an outside.
