  • Patent number: 11121593
    Abstract: A rotor includes a rotor core and a magnet inserted into a magnet insertion hole formed in the rotor core. The magnet insertion hole extends in parallel with the rotation axis of the rotor core and, when viewed along the rotation axis, has an arcuate shape having a central portion projecting toward the rotation axis. The arcuate shape of the magnet insertion hole is formed such that the arcuate shape includes a first arcuate surface and a second arcuate surface that has a center identical to a center of the first arcuate surface and that has a radius larger than the radius of the first arcuate surface. The second arcuate surface includes two projections projecting toward the first arcuate surface. The magnet is inserted between the two projections and makes contact with the two projections.
