Abstract

The invention concerns a rotor ( 1 ) for an electric drive motor of a refrigerant compressor with a cylinder ring ( 2 ), several permanent magnets ( 14 ) resting on the radial inside of the cylinder ring ( 2 ), each permanent magnet ( 14 ) forming a ring section, and fixing elements ( 15 ) between the permanent magnets ( 14 ), said fixing elements ( 15 ) engaging a fixing geometry ( 4, 16 ) of the cylinder ring ( 2 ). It is endeavoured to simplify the manufacturing of such a rotor. For this purpose, the cylinder ring ( 2 ) is located in a carrier ( 5 ), which comprises a bottom ( 6 ) and a circumferential wall ( 7 ), the permanent magnets ( 14, 14 a , 14 b ) resting on the bottom ( 6 ), and each fixing element ( 15, 15 a , 15 b ) comprising at least one projection ( 17, 18 ), which covers a side ( 24 ) of the permanent magnet ( 14, 14 a , 14 b ) facing away from the bottom ( 6 ).

Claims (15)

1. A rotor for an electric drive motor of a refrigerant compressor with a cylinder ring, several permanent magnets resting on the radial inside of the cylinder ring, each permanent magnet forming a ring section, and fixing elements between the permanent magnets, said fixing elements engaging a fixing geometry of the cylinder ring, wherein the cylinder ring is located in a carrier, which comprises a bottom and a circumferential wall, the permanent magnets resting on the bottom, and each fixing element comprising at least one projection, which covers a side of the permanent magnet facing away from the bottom.

2. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the radial outside of the bottom comprises a circumferential step, on which the cylinder ring bears in the axial direction.

3. The rotor according to claim 2 , wherein a part of the radial extension of the permanent magnets rests on the step.

4. The rotor according to claim 2 , wherein the carrier has at least one opening radially outwards.

5. The rotor according to claim 4 , wherein the opening is located in axial extension of at least one fixing element.

6. The rotor according to claim 5 , wherein at least one fixing element extends into the opening.

7. The rotor according to claim 4 , wherein the opening is formed by bending a flap out from the carrier.

8. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the permanent magnets and the fixing elements comprise an axisparallel grooveprojection arrangement.

9. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein several fixing elements are connected to one another in the circumferential direction at their projections.

10. The rotor according to claim 9 , wherein the projections of all fixing elements form a ring that covers all permanent magnets.

11. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing elements are made of a plastic material.

12. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein at least two permanent magnets have different extensions in the circumferential direction.

13. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein at least two fixing elements have different extensions in the circumferential direction.

14. The rotor according to claim 13 , wherein at least the fixing element with the largest extension in the circumferential direction has an axis-parallel recess.

15. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier is made as a shaped sheet metal part.
