  • Publication number: 20230111062
    Abstract: A rotor includes a rotor core fixed to a shaft, a pair of magnet slots arranged in a V-shape in the rotor core so as to be separated away from each other toward a radially outer side, permanent magnets inserted into the magnet slots, and a hole provided on the radially outer side of the magnet slots. The distance between each permanent magnet and the hole increases toward the radially outer side. The distance between an outer circumference of the rotor core and the hole is not less than the distance between each magnet slot and the outer circumference of the rotor core.

  • Patent number: 11456633
    Abstract: A rotor of the permanent magnet rotating electric machine includes a rotor core, a plurality of magnets, and magnetic slits. Each of the magnetic slits is formed in a core region being a region between magnets of the plurality of magnets, and a gap. The magnetic slits are regions having a lower magnetic permeability than a magnetic permeability of the core region. One end of each of the magnetic slits, which is closer to an outer periphery of the rotor, is positioned in a portion of the core region on the same direction side as a direction of a force in a circumferential direction of the rotor, and another end closer to the rotation axis center of the rotor is positioned on the magnetic pole center or in a portion of the core region on a side opposite to the direction of the force.
