  • Patent number: 10622853
    Abstract: A synchronous reluctance type rotary electric machine of an embodiment includes, a rotor core, a plurality of conductor bars, short-circuit rings, a stator core, and multiphase armature windings. The rotor core includes multi-layered hollow parts having a convex shape toward a side radially inward formed for each pole in cross section, and a bridge formed between each of the hollow parts and an outer circumferential surface thereof. The plurality of conductor bars are disposed in the respective hollow parts. The short-circuit rings connect the plurality of conductor bars together. Then, in all of the hollow parts of a second layer and subsequent layers other than the hollow part of a first layer which is at a position farthest from the rotation axis of the rotor core, the conductor bars are disposed at both end portions thereof close to the bridge at a predetermined distance from the bridge.

  • Patent number: 8952591
    Abstract: An electrical machine rotor includes a flux-conducting portion and a flux-inhibiting portion. The flux-conducting portion is conducive to conveying an electromagnetic flux and has a plurality of salient rotor poles and a portion of back material. The flux-inhibiting portion is less conducive to conveying an electromagnetic flux than the flux-conducting portion and is disposed entirely outside the boundaries of the rotor poles.

  • Patent number: 8836194
    Abstract: A motor including a rotor and a stator that supports and rotates the rotor is disclosed. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the motor includes a magnetic member, which is installed in the rotor such that the magnetic member faces the stator, and a stator magnetic body, which is a part of the stator and has a part corresponding to the magnetic member formed asymmetrically therein. In this way, the motor can prevent a whirling effect by installing the magnetic member, which forms a preload, even the motor is thinner.

  • Patent number: 8803376
    Abstract: An AC motor is provided. In the AC motor, there are M pieces (M is an integer of 3 or more) of stator pole groups SPG are arranged in a rotor axis direction, where each of the stator poles groups is composed of a plurality of stator poles which are for the same phase and arranged in a circumferential direction of the motor. Between the stator pole groups SPG, “M?1” pieces of annular windings WR are arranged which allow one-way current to flow therethrough. The windings WR are arranged such that the directions of current passing therethrough are reversed in turn in the rotor axis direction. The stator pole groups SPG are excited to generate magnetic fluxes ?G directed in a one way. The excited directions of the magnetic fluxes ?G are reversed in turn in the rotor axis direction.

  • Patent number: 8749109
    Abstract: A rotor disk for a rotor of a synchronous reluctance machine consists of a disk body material with high magnetic permeability. In order to improve the ability of the rotor disk to stand centrifugal and thermal loads, spokes extending in radial direction between a shaft opening and a disk periphery are provided with spoke openings. These openings extend over a wide distance both in circumferential direction and in radial direction to worsen the heat conducting properties of the spokes and to render the spokes less stiff.
