Abstract

To realize reduction in vibration and noise while utilizing reluctance torque, a rotating electrical machine includes: a rotor having permanent magnets disposed in a cylindrical surface coaxial with a rotary shaft; and a stator having an annular stator core disposed coaxially with the rotary shaft, and a annular coil for magnetizing the stator core. The stator core has an annular part covering the annular coil, claws disposed at equal intervals in an inner radius surface of the annular part and extending axially, and magnetic gaps formed between neighboring claws. The number of claws is equal to the number of permanent magnets, and magnet flux in a direction orthogonal to a center axis of the magnetic pole of the permanent magnet at right angles in electric angle is larger than magnetic flux in the center axis direction generated between neighboring permanent magnets. Metal interpoles are provided between neighboring permanent magnets.

Claims (26)

1. The claw-teeth-type rotating electrical machine comprising:

a rotor in which a plurality of permanent magnets are disposed in a cylindrical surface coaxial with a rotary shaft; and

a stator comprising an annular stator core disposed coaxially with the rotary shaft, and a coil for magnetizing the stator core,

wherein the coil is an annular coil obtained by winding a wire annularly,

the stator core comprises an annular part covering the annular coil, a plurality of claws disposed at equal intervals in an inner radius surface of the annular part and extending in the axial direction, and a plurality of magnetic gaps formed between the neighboring claws,

the number of the claws is equal to the number of permanent magnets, and

magnet flux in a direction orthogonal to a center axis direction at right angles in electric angle is larger than magnetic flux in the center axis direction generated between neighboring permanent magnets,

wherein the permanent magnet is disposed in a position of blocking the magnetic flux in the center axis direction of the magnetic pole of the permanent magnet.

2. The claw-teeth-type rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the annular part has an outer peripheral face and two side faces adjacent to the outer peripheral face, and

the plurality of claws project alternately from both sides of an inner radius part of the stator core and extend in the axial direction so as to engage with each other.

3. The claw-teeth-type rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the stator core is formed by compacting insulating-coated iron powder.

4. The claw-teeth-type rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the rotor is formed by integrally compacting magnet powder and iron powder.
