Patent number: 10432044Abstract: A rotor includes a rotor core, permanent magnets, and a tubular non-magnetic cover. The permanent magnets are arranged along an outer surface of the rotor core in the circumferential direction. The permanent magnets each include a curved outer surface as viewed in the axial direction. The tubular non-magnetic cover covers the outer surfaces of the permanent magnets. The rotor core includes at least two stacked cores. Each stacked core includes a stack of core sheets. One of the stacked cores is formed from a material having a lower hardness than the other stacked core.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Takaki Nose, Takumi Murayama, Toshihiro Nagata, Yuuma Kobayashi, Yuuji Yamashita, Takafumi Yamano, Daisuke Koyano

Patent number: 10411549Abstract: A small and low-price rotating electric machine has a structure where a magnet end surface and a metal tube end are not in contact with each other. The rotating electric machine has a cylindrical stator core, a rotor having a shaft provided on the inner circumferential side of the stator core, a yoke fixed to the shaft, at least one ferrite magnet provided on the outer circumferential surface of the yoke, and a protective cover provided on the outer circumference of the ferrite magnet. The ferrite magnet end surface is projected with respect to an end surface of the yoke, and has a step portion to form a gap between the end surface of the ferrite magnet and a bottom surface of the protective cover.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2014Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Hitachi Automotive Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Yohei Kono, Hisashi Wada, Junnosuke Nakatsugawa, Ippei Suzuki

Patent number: 10396611Abstract: A rotor of a rotary machine includes a ring-like fixing member press-fit and fixed to a shaft so as to limit a position of a rotor core in a shaft axial direction and an end plate fixed to an outer peripheral side of the fixing member so as to limit a position of a magnet, embedded in the rotor core, in the shaft axial direction. Influences of a difference in thermal expansion between the shaft and the end plate are lessened by the fixing member. A material is selected so that a value of a coefficient of linear expansion of the fixing member becomes equal to an intermediate value between a coefficient of linear expansion of the shaft made of iron and a coefficient of linear expansion of the end plate made of a non-magnetic body.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2013Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventor: Yutaka Ikura

Patent number: 10367383Abstract: A fixing structure for a permanent magnet includes: a cylindrical housing; a permanent magnet housed inside the housing; and an adhesive layer formed in a gap G between the housing and the permanent magnet and having an adhesive for fixing the permanent magnet to the housing. The adhesive layer is formed such that a filling rate of the adhesive is higher in the gap at another axial end of the permanent magnet than at one axial end of the permanent magnet. The permanent magnet is configured such that a density at said other axial end is higher than the density at said one axial end.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2015Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: MABUCHI MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventor: Yasuhiro Yamagata
