  • Publication number: 20160164387
    Abstract: A squirrel-cage rotor manufacturing method capable of suppressing, at the time of performing die-casting, formation of gaps between closing portions and a rotor core at radially outer parts of rotor slots, or generation of a thermal stress in the rotor core as a result of expansion of the closing portions. The squirrel-cage rotor manufacturing method includes: arranging, through die-casting, conductors into rotor slots that are formed along a radially outer part of a rotor core; and performing the die-casting under a state in which radially outer parts of the rotor slots are closed with closing portions made of the same material as a material of the rotor core.

  • Patent number: 9172279
    Abstract: An automotive embedded permanent magnet rotary electric machine can suppress increases in torque ripples and cogging torque, reduce core loss near a stator, and increase magnetic torque and reluctance torque. In the automotive embedded permanent magnet rotary electric machine, a first permanent magnet and a second permanent magnet that constitute a magnetic pole are embedded so as to line up in a main direction of rotation of magnetic poles of a rotor core and are embedded so as to be radially outwardly convex in a region that extends from a leading end portion to a trailing end portion in the main direction of rotation of the magnetic poles, and the first permanent magnet is formed into an integrated body that extends from the leading end portion in the main direction of rotation of the magnetic poles beyond a pole center toward a trailing side.

  • Patent number: 9068817
    Abstract: A permanent magnet 60 for biasing is placed between opposite surfaces of a second stationary magnetic body 20 and a third stationary magnetic body 30, and a range in magnetic flux density detected by a magnetic sensor 50 is changed to thus include zero in the magnetic flux density. A correction and an adjustment of a temperature characteristic and so on of the magnetic sensor 50 are performed in a state of zero in the magnetic flux density.

  • Publication number: 20150130322
    Abstract: A tooth of a stator has a tapered shape in which a tooth width decreases toward a distal end portion thereof. A winding is formed of an edgewise winding wound around the tooth in a row. The winding is supplied with power so that a terminal on a base portion side of the tooth may have a higher voltage than that of a terminal on the distal end portion side thereof. A tooth width Th of the base portion is set within the range of Tmin<Th<1.25Tha defined by a tooth width Tha that maximizes an index using an outer radius and a core back width of a stator core, a clearance of the windings in the slot, a winding width, an air gap between the teeth and the winding, a pitch of the slot, and an inclination angle of the winding, and a permissible lower limit Tmin.

  • Publication number: 20150028727
    Abstract: In a rotary electric machine, first inclined surfaces that intersect a plane that includes a central axis of a shaft at a predetermined angle are disposed radially outside gaps between coil ends of circumferentially adjacent concentrated winding coils, and cooling air that is blown out from a cooling fan and has flowed radially outward through the gaps between the coil ends is converted into an axially outward flow by the first inclined surfaces.

  • Publication number: 20140354101
    Abstract: A rotor is formed with a partition wall interposed between a first magnetic body and a second magnetic body. Projections of the partition wall block gaps between salient poles of the first magnetic body and salient poles of the second magnetic body which are arranged at shifted positions when seen in an axial direction of a rotating shaft to shield a flow of air flowing in the axial direction. Notches are formed in parts other than the gaps to decrease a volume thereof and to reduce inertia thereof.

  • Patent number: 8749105
    Abstract: A high-efficiency magnetic inductor rotary machine in which eddy current loss is reduced even if driven at super-high-speed rotation, and a fluid transfer apparatus that uses the same. In the magnetic inductor rotary machines, first and second stator cores are disposed coaxially such that circumferential positions of teeth are aligned, and first and second rotor cores are fixed coaxially to a rotating shaft such that salient poles are offset by a pitch of half a salient pole circumferentially, and are disposed on an inner peripheral side of the first and second stator cores. A salient pole width of the salient poles of the first and second rotor cores is configured so as to be greater than an opening width of slots of a stator.

  • Publication number: 20140125208
    Abstract: A motor rotor structure for an electric turbo charger is manufactured at low cost with good quality by fixedly fitting, over a shaft, a rotor core having electromagnetic steel sheets pre-formed as an integrated stack. The rotor structure includes a rotor core which is rotated by a magnetic field formed by a stator in a housing; a shaft configured to rotate a compressor impeller and the rotor core together; and a bearing supporting the shaft. The rotor includes the rotor core including the electromagnetic steel sheets; a stopper portion formed at an intermediate portion of the shaft to restrict axial movement of the rotor core; and a pressing unit which presses the rotor core fitted over the shaft against the stopper portion. The pressing unit prevents a circumferential phase shift between the shaft and the rotor core by a pressing force thereof.
