  • Patent number: 7102264
    Abstract: A synchronous induction motor features improved assemblability of a rotor, significantly reduced production cost, and improved operation performance of the motor. A plurality of die-cast secondary conductors is provided around a rotor yoke constituting the rotor of the synchronous induction motor. End rings are die-cast integrally with the secondary conductors on the peripheral portions of both end surfaces of the rotor yoke. Permanent magnets are inserted into slots formed such that they penetrate the rotor yoke. The openings of both ends of the slots are closed by a pair of end surface members formed of a non-magnetic constituent. One of the end surface members is secured to the rotor yoke by one of the end rings when the secondary conductors and the end rings are formed. The other end surface member is secured to the rotor yoke by a fixture.

  • Patent number: 6700270
    Abstract: A synchronous induction motor realizing a great reluctance torque by concentrating a magnetomotive force generated by a rotor provided with a permanent magnet having a two-pole structure, and having a high efficiency. The synchronous induction motor has a stator provided with a stator winding, a rotor rotating within the stator, a cage-type secondary electric conductor provided in a peripheral portion of a rotor yoke portion constituting the rotor, and a permanent magnet inserted into the rotor yoke portion and having a two-pole structure, and the magnetomotive force generated by one pole of the rotor is set to a value equal to or less than 10% of a peak value in a predetermined range near an electrical angle of 0 degrees or 180 degrees.
