  • Publication number: 20230402890
    Abstract: A rotor constituting a rotating electric machine includes a rotating shaft and a permanent magnet. A sleeve covering the outer surface of the permanent magnet is attached to the rotating shaft. A resin coating layer is formed on an outer circumferential wall of the sleeve. The resin coating layer includes a base portion and a plurality of ridges formed on the outer circumferential wall of the base portion. A riblet recessed relative to the plurality of ridges is formed between the plurality of ridges.

  • Publication number: 20230402889
    Abstract: A rotor constituting a rotating electric machine includes a rotating shaft and a permanent magnet. A sleeve covering the outer surface of the permanent magnet is attached to the rotating shaft. The sleeve is made of a carbon fiber reinforced polymer. A resin film is joined to an outer circumferential wall of the sleeve via a joining material. A plurality of ridges are formed on the outer circumferential wall of the resin film. A riblet recessed relatively to the plurality of ridges is formed between the plurality of ridges.

  • Publication number: 20230094490
    Abstract: A first layer, a second layer, and a third layer of a sleeve of a rotor are integrated side by side in this order from the radial center of the sleeve toward the outside. The first layer includes a first fiber-reinforced resin including a first carbon fiber extending in a direction inclined with respect to both the axis of the rotor shaft and a circumferential direction of the sleeve. The second layer includes a second fiber-reinforced resin including a second carbon fiber extending along the circumferential direction of the sleeve. the third layer includes a third fiber-reinforced resin including a third carbon fiber extending along the circumferential direction of the sleeve. An elastic modulus of the third layer is larger than an elastic modulus of the second layer.
