Abstract

Provided is a rotating electric machine that combines high efficiency and high strength reliability. The rotating electric machine includes: a stator having a coil and a stator core; and a rotor opposed to the stator with a gap intervening between the rotor and the stator, the rotor having permanent magnets 3 and a rotor core 2 . The rotor is configured such that the permanent magnets are buried in V-shape at hole-shaped slots 4 disposed in the rotor core to form one pole, and the pole is formed in plurality in a circumferential direction. Each of the slots is an open slot partially opened toward an outer circumference of the rotor core. The slot is provided with a hook-shaped structure 6 to support corresponding one of the permanent magnets in an open portion thereof.

Claims (15)

1. A rotating electric machine comprising:

a stator including a coil and a stator core; and

a rotor opposed to the stator with a gap intervening between the rotor and the stator, the rotor including permanent magnets and a rotor core, the rotor being configured such that the permanent magnets are buried in V-shape at hole-shaped slots disposed in the rotor core to form one pole, the pole being formed in plurality in a circumferential direction, wherein:

each of the slots is an open slot partially opened toward an outer circumference of the rotor core;

the slot is provided with a hook-shaped structure to support corresponding one of the permanent magnets in an open portion thereof; and

the slot includes a protrusion so that on a section perpendicular to an axial direction of the rotor, the permanent magnet comes into contact with the rotor core at a position closer to an inner diameter side of the rotor than to a midpoint on an outer diameter long side of the permanent magnet.

2. The rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein:

a thin film is formed on the outer circumference of the rotor.

3. A rotating electric machine comprising:

a stator including a coil and a stator core; and

a rotor opposed to the stator with a gap intervening between the rotor and the stator, the rotor including permanent magnets and a rotor core, the rotor being configured such that the permanent magnets are buried in V-shape at hole-shaped slots disposed in the rotor core to form one pole, the pole being formed in plurality in a circumferential direction, wherein:

each of the slots is an open slot partially opened toward an outer circumference of the rotor core;

the slot is provided with a hook-shaped structure to support corresponding one of the permanent magnets in an open portion thereof;

the slot includes a first protrusion so that an outer diameter long side of the permanent magnet comes into contact with the rotor core at one place on a section perpendicular to an axial direction of the rotor; and

the slot includes a second protrusion so that on the section perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotor, an inner diameter short side of the permanent magnet adjacent to the outer diameter long side of the magnet comes into contact with the rotor core.
