Abstract

An electrically driven motor includes a motor rotor having a rotor core and a plurality of permanent magnets attached onto an outer circumferential portion of the rotor core. The electrically driven motor also includes a stator having a plurality of slots. In the electrically driven motor, a plurality of projections rotor teeth are disposed at positions of the outer circumferential portion of the rotor core which are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined interval of distance and which include a magnetic pole center of at least one permanent magnet. The plurality of rotor teeth extend all the way to a location of the teeth of the stator.

Claims (17)

1. An electrically driven motor, comprising:

a motor rotor having a generally annular rotor core and a plurality of permanent magnets coaxially attached onto an outer circumferential portion of the rotor core; and

a stator having a plurality of slots, wherein

a plurality of rotor teeth that are disposed at positions of the outer circumferential portion of the plurality of permanent magnets which are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined interval of distance in a circumferential direction of the plurality of permanent magnets and which include a magnetic pole center of at least one of the plurality of permanent magnets, and each of the plurality of rotor teeth extends in a radial direction of the motor rotor exceeding a position of a tip of the stator, and

an axial air gap between each of the plurality of rotor teeth and the stator is made smaller than a radial air gap between each of the permanent magnets and the stator.

2. The electrically driven motor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, when an angle from one of the plurality of rotor teeth which is disposed on the magnetic pole center of a corresponding one of the permanent magnets to each of peripheral end edges of the corresponding one of the plurality of rotor teeth is assumed to be a teeth angle and a ratio of the teeth angle to a magnetic pole angle of each of the permanent magnets is assumed to be a teeth angle ratio, the teeth angle is set to a value equal to or smaller than a predetermined value at which a cogging torque characteristic with respect to the teeth angle ratio changes from an increase tendency to a reduction tendency.

3. The electrically driven motor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, when an angle from one of the plurality of rotor teeth which is disposed on the magnetic pole center of a corresponding one of the permanent magnets to each of peripheral end edges of the corresponding one of the plurality of rotor teeth is assumed to be a teeth angle and a ratio of the teeth angle to a magnetic pole angle of each of the permanent magnets is assumed to be a teeth angle ratio, the teeth angle is set to a value equal to or smaller than a predetermined value at which a cogging torque characteristic with respect to the teeth angle ratio changes from an increase tendency to a reduction tendency.

4. An electrically driven pump comprising:

a pump rotor having a plurality of teeth connected to a drive shaft of an electrically driven motor and which converts a transmitted torque into a fluid discharge work, and

the electrically driven motor according to claim 1 .

5. An electrically driven pump comprising:

a pump rotor having a plurality of teeth connected to a drive shaft of an electrically driven motor and which converts a transmitted torque into a fluid discharge work, and

the electrically driven motor according to claim 1 .

6. An electrically driven pump comprising:

a pump rotor having a plurality of teeth connected to a drive shaft of an electrically driven motor and which converts a transmitted torque into a fluid discharge work, and

the electrically driven motor according to claim 2 .

7. The electrically driven motor according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of rotor teeth are made of a magnetic material.
