  • Publication number: 20090322175
    Abstract: A rotor is deployed such that the rotor becomes coaxially rotatable with a stator. A shaft is fixed onto the axis of a rotor iron-core. 1-pole constituting magnet slots are deployed into V-character pattern along an outer circumference portion of the rotor iron-core. Permanent magnets are embedded into the magnet slots. For the 1 pole, the 2 pieces of same-polarity permanent magnets are embedded into the V-character pattern. The configuration of each embedded permanent magnet is designed as follows: From the thickness of the permanent-magnet edge portion on the inner-diameter side of the rotor iron-core, which becomes the center of the V-character pattern, the thickness of the permanent magnet gradually increases toward the outer-diameter side of the rotor iron-core, which become the right and left edge portions of the V-character pattern. Simultaneously, curved lines are provided on both edge portions of the permanent magnet.

Further, each magnet 3 has a convex-shaped cross section and is divided into two magnet segments 3, 3. A magnetic pole bridge 15 is formed at the boundary of the permanent magnet segments 3, 3. Thus, movement of the permanent magnet segments 3, 3 due to centrifugal force is firmly restricted, and the peeling off of the rotor core 5 and the permanent magnet segments 3, 3 from each other is prevented.

  • Patent number: 7417348
    Abstract: In the prior art in which permanent magnets are regularly arranged over the whole circumference of a rotor core, a satisfactory magnetic flux distribution is hard to obtain, and the cogging torque and the distortion factor of the induced electromotive force waveform are large, whereby characteristics of a rotating electric machine are poor. Also, because the permanent magnets are arranged over the whole circumference, a large number of permanent magnets are required and cost reduction is difficult. A permanent magnet rotating electric-machine of the invention comprises a stator provided with a plurality of windings, and a rotor in which magnets are disposed in slots formed in a rotor core along an outer circumference thereof, the rotor core being fixed on a rotary shaft rotating inside the stator, and in which one magnetic pole is constituted by each group of three or more of the magnets.
