Masao SHUTO has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10284061
    Abstract: Provided is a rotor (1) of a permanent magnet-type electric rotary machine, the rotor being able to restrain a decrease of a magnetic characteristic. A pair of endplates (6a, 6b) placed at both axial ends of a rotor core (3) are each provided with a pressing portion (10, 10) configured to abut with an outer peripheral side of an end of the rotor core (3) to apply a pressing force toward the other end plate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 12, 2015
    Date of Patent: May 7, 2019
    Assignee: FUJI ELECTRIC CO., LTD.
    Inventors: Kenichi Mae, Toshiharu Mochida, Masao Shuto, Hirofumi Nishimura
  • Patent number: 10263482
    Abstract: Cracking and flying around of permanent magnets in a permanent magnet embedded-type rotating electric machine is prevented. Thermally hardening FRP is used as a reinforcement sheet, and the reinforcement sheet is wrapped around the periphery of a permanent magnet and caused to adhere to the surface of the permanent magnet by being thermally hardened. Subsequently, the permanent magnet to which the reinforcement sheet is adhering is embedded in magnet embedding holes of the rotor. The surface of the reinforcement sheet after thermal hardening is in a state of not being attached to the inner wall surface of the magnet embedding holes. Consequently, no stress caused by the difference between the linear expansion coefficients of the rotor and permanent magnets acts on the permanent magnets when the temperature of the rotor rises, and cracking of the permanent magnets can thus be prevented.
