Abstract

A rotation machine is configured such that permanent magnets and pole shoes holding the permanent magnets at the outer diameter side of the permanent magnets are provided for a rotor, and an outer diameter size (Ra) in the axial end portion of the pole shoe is made smaller than an outer diameter size (Rb) in the axial center portion.

Claims (16)

1. A rotating machine, wherein permanent magnets and pole shoes holding the permanent magnets at an outer diameter side of each permanent magnet are provided for a rotor, and an outer diameter size (Ra) in an axial end portion of the pole shoe is made smaller than an outer diameter size (Rb) in the axial center portion thereof;

wherein bolt holes are provided in an axial center position of the pole shoes, and by bolts, the pole shoes and the permanent magnets are held by fastening from a radial direction of the rotor;

wherein a radial section of any or both of the permanent magnets and the pole shoes is made circular or oval; and

wherein each of the pole shoes has a shape of truncated circular or oval cone with an outer peripheral diameter decreasing in a radially outward direction of the rotor.

2. The rotating machine according to claim 1 , wherein an outer diameter side of the rotor is provided with a stator iron core, and the entirety or a part of the stator iron core is formed by soft magnetic composites.

3. The rotating machine according to claim 1 , wherein the outer diameter side of the rotor is provided with a stator iron core, and an inner diameter size (Rc) in an axial end portion of the stator iron core is made smaller than an inner diameter size (Rd) in an axial center portion thereof.

4. The rotating machine according to claim 1 , wherein the outer diameter side of the rotor is provided with a stator iron core, and the inner diameter size is made smaller in incremental steps from the axial center portion to the axial end portion of the stator iron core.

5. The rotating machine according to claim 3 , wherein a portion having an inner diameter size different from the inner diameter size in the axial center portion is formed by soft magnetic composites.

6. The rotating machine according to claim 3 , wherein an axial inner part of the portion having the inner diameter size different from the inner diameter size in the axial center portion is formed by soft magnetic composites.

7. The rotating machine according to claim 1 , wherein the outer diameter size of the rotor is provided with the stator iron core, and a teeth portion of the stator iron core is provided with slits.

8. A generating system, comprising a rotating machine as an exciter or a sub exciter, wherein a permanent magnet and a pole shoe holding the permanent magnet at an outer diameter side of the permanent magnet are provided for a rotor, and an outer diameter size (Ra) in an the axial end portion of the pole shoe is made smaller than an outer diameter size (Rb) in an axial center portion thereof;

wherein bolt holes are provided in an axial center position of the pole shoes, and by bolts, the pole shoes and the permanent magnets are held by fastening from a radial direction;

wherein a radial section of any or both of the permanent magnets and the pole shoes is made circular or oval; and

wherein each of the pole shoes has a shape of truncated circular or oval cone with an outer peripheral diameter decreasing in a radially outward direction of the rotor.

9. The rotating machine according to claim 1 , wherein a bevel of the shape of truncated circular or oval cone faces to a stator iron core in the radial direction.

10. The rotating machine according to claim 8 , wherein a bevel of the shape of truncated circular or oval cone faces to a stator iron core in the radial direction.
