  • Patent number: 9893580
    Abstract: A rotor for a rotary electric machine includes a plurality of magnetic poles in a rotor core, a side barrier as a magnetic air gap, an air gap section as a magnetic air gap. Each of the plurality of magnetic poles includes a magnet insertion hole, a permanent magnet. The side barrier is provided at a portion adjacent to a circumferential end face of the permanent magnet and includes a projection barrier portion projecting radially outwardly from an extension line extending from an outer peripheral surface of the permanent magnet. The air gap section is provided at an area which is spaced apart from the projection barrier portion and the magnet insertion hole and faces a peripheral edge of a circumferentially central side of the magnetic pole with respect to the projection barrier portion and a circumferential end of the outer peripheral surface of the permanent magnet.

  • Patent number: 9502932
    Abstract: A rotor includes a rotor core and a plurality of magnetic pole parts. The rotor core has a magnet insertion hole. The magnet insertion hole includes a first peripheral edge portion and a second peripheral edge portion spaced away from the first peripheral edge portion in a radial direction of the rotor. The rotor core includes a holding part and a protrusion. The holding part extends along the radial direction from the first peripheral edge portion of the magnet insertion hole. The holding part abuts against a circumferential end portion of each of the plurality of permanent magnet pieces. The protrusion extends toward the second peripheral edge portion of the magnet insertion hole. The protrusion is spaced away in the radial direction from the second peripheral edge portion of the magnet insertion hole.
