Abstract

The dynamoelectric rotor according to the present invention, includes: a rotor coil; a first pole core body and a second pole core body respectively having: first and second cylindrical portions on which the rotor coil is installed; first and second disk portions; and a plurality of first and second claw-shaped magnetic poles magnetized into North-seeking (N) poles and South-seeking (S) poles; and permanent magnets for reducing magnetic leakage flux between the adjacent claw-shaped magnetic poles, flange portions projecting in a circumferential direction and restricting radial movement of the permanent magnets due to centrifugal force being formed on first and second side surfaces of the claw-shaped magnetic poles, and a groove being formed on the first disk portion of the first pole core body to make the first claw-shaped magnetic poles of the first pole core body displace more than the second claw-shaped magnetic poles of the second pole core body.

Claims (37)

1. A dynamoelectric rotor comprising:

a rotor coil for generating a magnetic flux;

a first pole core body and a second pole core body disposed so as to face each other, respectively having:

first and second cylindrical portions on which said rotor coil is installed;

first and second disk portions extending radially outward from first and second end portions of said first and second cylindrical portions; and

a plurality of first and second claw-shaped magnetic poles extending axially inward from said first and second disk portions so as to alternately intermesh with each other, said first and second claw-shaped magnetic poles covering said rotor coil and being magnetized into North-seeking (N) poles and South-seeking (S) poles by said magnetic flux; and

permanent magnets disposed between adjacent pairs of said first and second claw-shaped magnetic poles, said permanent magnets reducing magnetic leakage flux between said adjacent claw-shaped magnetic poles,

flange portions projecting in a circumferential direction and restricting radial movement of said permanent magnets due to centrifugal force being formed on first and second side surfaces of said claw-shaped magnetic poles, and

tip portion regions of said first claw-shaped magnetic poles of said first pole core body and tip portion regions of said second claw-shaped magnetic poles of said second pole core body being displaced radially outward relative to respective root portions due to said centrifugal force,

wherein said dynamoelectric rotor further comprises:

a displacement increasing means for making said first claw-shaped magnetic poles of said first pole core body radially displace more than said second claw-shaped magnetic poles of said second pole core body.

2. The dynamoelectric rotor according to claim 1 , wherein:

said displacement increasing means is constituted by said first disk portion of said first pole core body having a groove extending in a circumferential direction.

3. The dynamoelectric rotor according to claim 1 , wherein:

said displacement increasing means is constituted by said first disk portion of said first pole core body having an axial length that is shorter than an axial length of said second disk portions of said second pole core body.

4. The dynamoelectric rotor according to claim 1 , wherein:

said displacement increasing means is constituted by a hook portion disposed on a tip portion of said first claw-shaped magnetic poles of said first pole core body to restrict axial movement of said permanent magnets.

5. The dynamoelectric rotor according to claim 1 , wherein:

said displacement increasing means is constituted by said permanent magnets having a radial wall thickness dimension that gradually increases toward said tip portion regions of said first claw-shaped magnetic poles.

6. The dynamoelectric rotor according to claim 1 , wherein:

said permanent magnets are surrounded and held by holding members; and

said displacement increasing means is constituted by a linking member extending in a circumferential direction on a radially-inner side of said holding members to link said holding members, said linking member having a lower rigidity near said tip portion regions of said first claw-shaped magnetic poles of said first pole core body than near said root portions.

7. The dynamoelectric rotor according to claim 1 , wherein:

said displacement increasing means is constituted by a holding member surrounding and holding each of said permanent magnets and having a leaf spring on a radially-inner side for pressing said tip portion regions of said first claw-shaped magnetic poles of said first pole core body radially outward.

8. The dynamoelectric rotor according to claim 1 , wherein:

said displacement increasing means is constituted by said permanent magnets having a higher density near said tip portion regions of said first claw-shaped magnetic poles of said first pole core body than near said root portions.

9. The dynamoelectric rotor according to claim 1 , wherein:

said displacement increasing means is constituted by said permanent magnets having a greater radial thickness near said tip portion regions of said first claw-shaped magnetic poles of said first pole core body than near said root portions.

10. The dynamoelectric rotor according to claim 1 , wherein:

said displacement increasing means is constituted by said permanent magnets having a center of gravity that is biased toward said tip portion regions of said first claw-shaped magnetic poles of said first pole core body.

11. The dynamoelectric rotor according to claim 1 , wherein:

a first cooling fan and a second cooling fan are disposed on said root portions of said first claw-shaped magnetic poles of said first pole core body and said root portions of said second claw-shaped magnetic poles of said second pole core body, respectively; and

said displacement increasing means is constituted by a fan blade that increases rigidity of said second cooling fan.

12. The dynamoelectric rotor according to claim 1 , wherein:

said displacement increasing means is constituted by said first claw-shaped magnetic poles extending axially outward beyond an end surface of a stator core surrounding said rotor.

13. The dynamoelectric rotor according to claim 1 , wherein:

an axial length of said first claw-shaped magnetic poles is shorter than an axial length of said second claw-shaped magnetic poles.
