  • Patent number: 11431213
    Abstract: A rotor has a plurality of magnetic poles aligned in a circumferential direction, each magnetic pole includes a first magnet equipment portion and a second magnet equipment portion positioned more toward an inner circumferential side than the first magnet equipment portion, the second magnet equipment portion has a pair of inner magnet holes placed symmetrically with respect to a center of the magnetic pole, and one or more inner magnets equipped in each of the inner magnet holes, each inner magnet hole has a bent line shape with one or more points of bending in an axial direction view, and an end, on a center side in a circumferential side of the magnetic pole, of the inner magnet hole is expanded on both sides in a thickness direction thereof, and functions as a magnetic barrier having a larger thickness than the inner magnet.

  • Patent number: 11056939
    Abstract: A rotor that includes a permanent magnet; and a rotor core that has a magnet placement hole in which the permanent magnet is disposed, wherein the stress relaxation magnetic flux suppression hole is formed such that a total width of a minimum width of a first magnetic flux passage between a portion of the stress relaxation magnetic flux suppression hole on a first side in the longitudinal direction and the magnet placement hole and a minimum width of a second magnetic flux passage between a portion of the stress relaxation magnetic flux suppression hole on a second side in the longitudinal direction and the magnet placement hole is less than a total length of a length of the first magnetic flux passage in the longitudinal direction and a length of the second magnetic flux passage in the longitudinal direction.

  • Patent number: 10879778
    Abstract: A rotor for a rotating electric machine includes: a rotor core having magnet holes; magnets inserted in the magnet holes of the rotor core. Each of the magnets includes two first surfaces respectively facing outward and inward of the rotor radial direction, and two second surfaces respectively facing one side and the other side of the rotor circumferential direction. Both ends in the rotor axial direction of at least one first surface of the two first surfaces are covered with electric insulating films, and a lateral surface region between both ends of the one first surface that are covered with the electric insulating films, and the two second surfaces are covered with no electric insulating films.
