  • Patent number: 11264848
    Abstract: A rotor core has first and second magnet insertion holes along an outer circumference, and first and second slits along an inner circumference. The first and second slits have first and second facing portions facing each other. The first facing portion has a first inner end and a first outer end. The second facing portion has a second inner end and a second outer end. An inter-slit portion is provided between the first and second facing portions and is defined by a first straight line connecting the first and second inner ends and a second straight line connecting the first and second outer ends. In a radial direction of the rotor core, a minimum distance D1 from the inner circumference to the slits, a minimum width W1 of the slits, and a length W2 of the inter-slit portion satisfy at least one of D1<W1 and D1<W2.
