Patent number: 11489383Abstract: A rotating electrical machine is provided which is equipped with a rotor core and a magnet unit made up of a plurality of magnets. Each of the magnets is oriented to have an easy axis of magnetization which extends more parallel to a d-axis in a region closer to the d-axis than that in a region close to a q-axis does. The easy axis of magnetization defines a magnet-produced magnetic path. The rotor core includes d-axis protrusions through which magnetic flux passes along the d-axis and does not have q-axis protrusions through which magnetic flux passes along the q-axis. This causes a magnetic resistance in the region close to the d-axis to be lower than that in the region closer to the q-axis, thereby providing salient poles. This structure enables the rotating electrical machine to be reduced in size and have an enhanced efficiency in operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2020Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventor: Yuki Takahashi
