Abstract

An alternating-current dynamoelectric machine according to the present invention includes: a stator including: a stator core in which slots that extend in an axial direction are formed on an inner side; and a stator winding that is mounted to the stator core by winding conducting wires into the slots; and a rotatable rotor including: a field winding that is disposed inside the stator; a rotor core constituted by a first pole core and a second pole core that each have claw-shaped magnetic poles that are disposed so as to cover the field winding and that alternately intermesh with each other; and first and second permanent magnets that are respectively disposed on two facing side surfaces of adjacent claw-shaped magnetic poles and that have magnetic fields that are oriented so as to reduce leakage of magnetic flux between the claw-shaped magnetic poles, and a magnetic body is disposed between a pair of the first and second permanent magnets.

Claims (22)

1. An alternating-current dynamoelectric machine comprising:

a stator including:

a stator core in which slots that extend in an axial direction are formed on an inner side; and

a stator winding that is mounted to said stator core by winding conducting wires into said slots; and

a rotatable rotor including:

a field winding that is disposed inside said rotor;

a rotor core constituted by a first pole core and a second pole core that each have claw-shaped magnetic poles that are disposed so as to cover said field winding and that alternately intermesh with each other; and

first and second permanent magnets that are respectively disposed on two facing side surfaces of adjacent claw-shaped magnetic poles and that have magnetic fields that are oriented so as to reduce leakage of magnetic flux between said claw-shaped magnetic poles,

said alternating-current dynamoelectric machine being characterized in that a magnetic body is permanently disposed between a pair of said first and second permanent magnets, and rectangular in shape.

2. An alternating-current dynamoelectric machine according to claim 1 , wherein said magnetic body is divided into two sections by means of a gap that extends parallel to at least one of said side surfaces.

3. An alternating-current dynamoelectric machine according to claim 1 , wherein said magnetic body is disposed on said second permanent magnet such that a gap that extends parallel to at least one of said side surfaces arises between said magnetic body and said first permanent magnet.

4. An alternating-current dynamoelectric machine according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of space that is occupied by the permanent magnets and the magnetic body is equal.

5. An alternating-current dynamoelectric machine comprising:

a stator including:

a stator core in which slots that extend in an axial direction are formed on an inner side; and

a stator winding that is mounted to said stator core by winding conducting wires into said slots; and

a rotatable rotor including:

a field winding that is disposed inside said rotor;

a rotor core constituted by a first pole core and a second pole core that each have claw-shaped magnetic poles that are disposed so as to cover said field winding and that alternately intermesh with each other; and

first and second permanent magnets that are respectively disposed on two facing side surfaces of adjacent claw-shaped magnetic poles and that have magnetic fields that are oriented so as to reduce leakage of magnetic flux between said claw-shaped magnetic poles,

said alternating-current dynamoelectric machine being characterized in that a magnetic body is permanently disposed between a pair of said first and second permanent magnets, wherein

100 percent of a space between the adjacent claw-shaped magnetic poles is filled with said magnetic body and said first and second permanent magnets, over the extent of the area of said magnetic body.
