Rotor and motor
A rotor having an axial direction includes at least a pair of rotor cores arranged in the axial direction, and a field magnet located between the rotor cores and magnetized in the axial direction. Each of the rotor cores includes a plurality of claw poles extending in the axial direction. Each of the rotor cores includes a magnetic flux controlling section, which appropriately causes a magnetic flux to flow to the claw poles.
1. A rotor having an axial direction and a radial direction, comprising
a plurality of pairs of rotor cores arranged in the axial direction, and
field magnets, each of which is located between the rotor cores of a pair and magnetized in the axial direction, wherein
each of the rotor cores includes a disk-shaped core base, and a plurality of claw poles extending in the radial direction from an outer periphery of the core base and extending in the axial direction,
first and second rotor cores of each pair of the rotor cores are arranged such that the claw poles of the first rotor core and the claw poles of the second rotor core extend in directions opposite from each other in the axial direction and such that the claw poles of the first rotor core and the claw poles of the second rotor core are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction, and
the rotor cores having the same polarities are adjacent to each other and arranged such that the rotor cores are deviated from each other in the circumferential direction.
