  • Patent number: 7211922
    Abstract: The present invention provides a dynamoelectric rotor enabling electromagnetic noise to be reduced by linking a facing tip end portion and root end portion of adjacent claw-shaped magnetic poles by a linking member and placing a field winding in contact with an inner peripheral surface of the claw-shaped magnetic poles in an electrically-insulated state so as to suppress vibration of the claw-shaped magnetic poles effectively. In the present invention, a tip end portion and a root end portion of adjacent claw-shaped magnetic poles are linked by a linking structure, and a field winding is wound onto a boss portion so as to have a larger diameter than a root inside diameter of the claw-shaped magnetic poles and is placed in contact with an inner peripheral surface of at least one of the claw-shaped magnetic poles with an insulating member interposed.

  • Patent number: 6933654
    Abstract: Pole core members of a rotor are fitted on a rotary shaft with claw-shaped magnetic poles engaged with one another from front and rear sides. Each of magnet mounting members for holding magnets against side surfaces of each magnetic pole has magnet retaining portions on both sides and a platelike middle portion. Located between two adjacent claw-shaped magnetic poles, each magnet produces a magnetic field oriented in a direction opposite to the direction of a magnetic flux formed between the adjacent claw-shaped magnetic poles. The claw-shaped magnetic pole has a stopper portion protruding inward from an extreme end of the magnetic pole on an inclined inside surface thereof. The magnet mounting member carrying the magnets in the magnet retaining portions is affixed to each claw-shaped magnetic pole with the middle portion of the magnet mounting member fitted in a recess formed in the inclined inside surface of the magnetic pole.
