Abstract

A rotor includes a first rotor core, a second rotor core, a first magnet, a second magnet, and an annular magnet. The first magnet is arranged between first extensions of the first rotor core. The annular magnet, which is arranged between second extensions of the second rotor core, is held between the first core base and the second core base. The first magnet and the second magnet are formed integrally.

Claims (22)

1. A rotor comprising:

a field magnet forming at least a portion of an outer circumferential surface of the rotor;

a first core member that includes a plurality of claws arranged in the circumferential direction;

a second core member that includes a plurality of claws arranged in the circumferential direction, wherein the second core member is joined with the first core member; and

a disk magnet located between the first core member and the second core member in an axial direction, wherein the disk magnet is magnetized in the axial direction, wherein

the field magnet is formed by a bonded magnet,

the field magnet includes a gap, and

the field magnet is located at an outer side in a radial direction from the first core member and the second core member.

2. A motor comprising the rotor according to claim 1 .

3. A rotor comprising:

a field magnet forming at least a portion of an outer circumferential surface of the rotor, wherein

the field magnet is formed by a bonded magnet and includes a plurality of magnetic poles,

each of the magnetic poles includes two gaps, the two gaps being arranged at a portion of the magnetic pole excepting a boundary between adjacent magnetic poles.

4. The rotor according to claim 3 , wherein the gap is a groove formed in the outer circumferential surface of the field magnet and extending in an axial direction.

5. The rotor according to claim 3 , wherein the rotor is a full-magnet type rotor in which magnetic poles of the rotor are all formed by the field magnet.

6. The rotor according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a rotor core including a core magnetic pole, wherein

the field magnet is a plurality of field magnets arranged in a circumferential direction of the rotor core,

the core magnetic pole is located between the field magnets, and

the field magnets function as first magnetic poles, and the core magnetic pole functions as a second magnetic pole.

7. A motor comprising the rotor according to claim 3 .

8. The rotor according to claim 3 , wherein the two gaps are arranged at opposite positions respectively separated by an angle θ from a circumferential center line of each magnetic pole, wherein the angle θ is obtained from θ=(1/2+n)·φ, wherein n is an integer, and φ is a cogging torque cycle.
