  • Publication number: 20120146336
    Abstract: A permanent magnet rotating electrical machine comprises a stator with a stator coil applied in a plurality of slots provided in a stator core, a rotor disposed opposite to the stator with a predetermined gap interposed therebetween, the rotor including a permanent magnet embedded in each of magnet-insertion holes provided in a rotor core of the rotor while polarity of the permanent magnet being varied on a pole-by-pole basis, and end plates disposed at ends of the rotor core, in the axial direction thereof, respectively, in which one end plate of the end plates disposed at the ends of the rotor core, in the axial direction thereof, respectively, is also provided with magnet-insertion holes, and each of the magnet-insertion holes provided in the one endplate is filled up with a non-magnetic material, thereby stopping up each of the magnet-insertion holes provided in the end plate.

  • Publication number: 20120032539
    Abstract: A permanent magnet rotating machine has a stator, in which armature windings are formed in a plurality of slots formed in a stator iron core, and also has a rotor, in which two magnet insertion slots are formed for each pole in a rotor iron core in a V shape when viewed from the outer circumference of the rotor and one permanent magnet is embedded in each magnet insertion slot with polarity alternating for each pole; a wall at one end of the magnet insertion slot on the external diameter side of the rotor is formed with three arcs having different curvatures, one of the three arcs being parallel to the outer circumference of the rotor, and a wall at the other end of the magnet insertion slot on the internal diameter side of the rotor is formed in an arc shape.

  • Publication number: 20110163624
    Abstract: A rotary electric machine, wherein the rotation direction of a rotor is a defined direction, a groove is provided in a rotor core on the radial outside with respect to permanent magnets, and the groove is provided in a position inclined from the centerline between the permanent magnets within a magnetic pole head and at the same time in a position excluding an end portion of a permanent magnet insertion hole on the radial outside, in order to enable a reduction in a no-load induced electromotive force and prevention of a decrease in output.
