Abstract

A permanent magnet includes two or more separate permanent magnet pieces each having a rectangular parallelepiped shape with a fractured surface formed when a permanent magnet block is fractured. The separate permanent magnet pieces include a first separate permanent magnet piece and a second separate permanent magnet piece. At the time when the permanent magnet block is fractured, the first and second separate permanent magnet pieces are adjacently located and a first fractured surface of the first separate permanent magnet piece and a second fractured surface of the second separate permanent magnet piece are adjacent to each other. The permanent magnet is configured such that the first fractured surface of the first separate permanent magnet piece and the second fractured surface of the second separate permanent magnet piece are located in positions out of contact with each other.

Claims (22)

1. A permanent magnet including two or more separate permanent magnet pieces each having a rectangular parallelepiped shape with a fractured surface formed when a permanent magnet block is fractured,

wherein the separate permanent magnet pieces include a first separate permanent magnet piece and a second separate permanent magnet piece,

at the time when the permanent magnet block is fractured, the first and second separate permanent magnet pieces are adjacently located and a first fractured surface of the first separate permanent magnet piece and a second fractured surface of the second separate permanent magnet piece are adjacent to each other, and

the permanent magnet is configured such that the first fractured surface of the first separate permanent magnet piece and the second fractured surface of the second separate permanent magnet piece are located in positions where they do not interface each other.

2. The permanent magnet according to claim 1 , wherein the first separate permanent magnet piece and the second separate permanent magnet piece are arranged in positions out of contact with each other.

3. The permanent magnet according to claim 1 , wherein the first fractured surface of the first separate permanent magnet piece is located in an outer peripheral surface of the permanent magnet.

4. The permanent magnet according to claim 1 , wherein the fractured surfaces of the two or more separate permanent magnet pieces are located in an outer peripheral surface of the permanent magnet.

5. The permanent magnet according to claim 4 , wherein the fractured surfaces are located in a pair of opposite surfaces of the rectangular parallelepiped shape.

6. A motor rotor or stator in which a rectangular parallelepiped permanent magnet is inserted in a slot, the permanent magnet including two or more separate permanent magnet pieces having fractured surfaces formed when a permanent magnet block is fractured,

wherein the separate permanent magnet pieces include a first separate permanent magnet piece and a second separate permanent magnet piece,

at the time when the permanent magnet block is fractured, the first and second separate permanent magnet pieces are adjacently located and a first fractured surface of the first separate permanent magnet piece and a second fractured surface of the second separate permanent magnet piece are adjacent to each other, and

the permanent magnet is configured such that the first fractured surface of the first separate permanent magnet piece and the second fractured surface of the second separate permanent magnet piece are located in positions where they do not interface, and

the first fractured surface of the first separate permanent magnet piece is located in an outer peripheral surface of the permanent magnet.

7. The motor rotor or stator according to claim 6 , wherein the fractured surfaces of the two or more separate permanent magnet pieces are located in the outer peripheral surface of the permanent magnet.

8. The motor rotor or stator according to claim 6 , wherein the fractured surfaces are located in a pair of opposite surfaces of the rectangular parallelepiped shape.

9. A rotary electric machine using a motor rotor in which a rectangular parallelepiped permanent magnet is inserted in a slot, the permanent magnet including two or more separate permanent magnet pieces having fractured surfaces formed when a permanent magnet block is fractured,

wherein the separate permanent magnet pieces include a first separate permanent magnet piece and a second separate permanent magnet piece,

at the time when the permanent magnet block is fractured, the first and second separate permanent magnet pieces are adjacently located and a first fractured surface of the first separate permanent magnet piece and a second fractured surface of the second separate permanent magnet piece are adjacent to each other, and

the permanent magnet is configured such that the first fractured surface of the first separate permanent magnet piece and the second fractured surface of the second separate permanent magnet piece are located in positions where they do not interface, and

the first fractured surface of the first separate permanent magnet piece is located in an outer peripheral surface of the permanent magnet.

10. The rotary electric machine according to claim 9 , wherein the fractured surfaces of the two or more separate permanent magnet pieces are located in the outer peripheral surface of the permanent magnet.

11. The rotary electric machine according to claim 9 , wherein the fractured surfaces are located in a pair of opposite surfaces of the rectangular parallelepiped shape.
