Abstract

A motor including a stator and a rotor. The stator includes teeth and windings. Each tooth has a distal portion defined by a radially inward side of the stator. The rotor, which is arranged inward in the radial direction from the stator, includes a rotor core, magnets, and salient poles. Each salient pole is separated by a void from the magnet that is adjacent in the circumferential direction. The distal portion of each tooth is longer than a radially outward side of each magnet.

Claims (14)

1. A rotor comprising:

a rotor core;

a plurality of magnets arranged along a circumferential direction of the rotor core functioning as first magnetic poles; and

a plurality of salient poles arranged on the rotor core and functioning as second magnetic poles, wherein each of the salient poles is separated by a void from an adjacent one of the magnets in the circumferential direction;

wherein the salient poles are set to be longer in an axial direction than a magnet pole portion, which is formed at a radially outward side of the rotor in correspondence with each of the magnets; and

wherein the salient poles project from an axial end of the rotor core.

2. A motor comprising:

a rotor including:

a rotor core,

a plurality of magnets arranged along a circumferential direction of the rotor core and functioning as first magnetic poles, and

a plurality of salient poles arranged on the rotor core and functioning as second magnetic poles, wherein each of the salient poles is separated by a void from an adjacent one of the magnets in the circumferential direction,

wherein the salient poles are set to be longer in an axial direction than a magnet pole portion, which is formed at a radially outward side of the rotor in correspondence with each of the magnets; and

a stator arranged outward in a radial direction from the rotor, wherein the stator includes a plurality of teeth, which extend inward in the radial direction toward the rotor and are arranged along a circumferential direction, and a plurality of windings, which are wound around the teeth;

wherein the salient poles are projected in the axial direction from the magnet pole portion by a projecting amount C, and the stator and the rotor are separated from each other in the radial direction by distance B, a ratio C/B is set to satisfy 0<(C/B)<2.
