Abstract

The rotor includes: a rotor core having a plurality of insertion holes penetrating in an axial direction at intervals in a circumferential direction; and magnets respectively provided in the insertion holes. A space is formed between a hole inner side peripheral surface of each insertion hole and a magnet inner side peripheral surface of each magnet. An adhesion layer portion is formed between a hole outer side peripheral surface of each insertion hole and a magnet outer side peripheral surface of each magnet, and the hole outer side peripheral surface of each insertion hole and the magnet outer side peripheral surface of each magnet with which the adhesion layer portion contacts are formed in a flat-surface shape. A width in a radial direction of the space is longer than a width in the radial direction of the adhesion layer portion.

Claims (49)

1. A rotor comprising:

a rotor core in which a plurality of insertion holes penetrating in an axial direction are formed at intervals in a circumferential direction; and

magnets respectively provided in the insertion holes, wherein

a hole inner side peripheral surface of each insertion hole and a magnet inner side peripheral surface of each magnet are not in contact with each other so that a space is formed therebetween,

an adhesion layer portion is formed between a hole outer side peripheral surface of each insertion hole and a magnet outer side peripheral surface of each magnet, and the hole outer side peripheral surface of each insertion hole and the magnet outer side peripheral surface of each magnet with which the adhesion layer portion contacts are formed in a flat-surface shape, and

a width in a radial direction of the space is longer than a width in the radial direction of the adhesion layer portion.

2. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein

the hole inner side peripheral surface of each insertion hole and the magnet inner side peripheral surface of each magnet are formed in an arc-surface shape that is convex inward in the radial direction.

3. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein

an angle between the magnet outer side peripheral surface of each magnet and a circumferential-direction-side end surface of the magnet is 90 degrees.

4. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein

each magnet is formed such that a width in the radial direction on a side near a magnetic pole center axis of the insertion hole is longer than a width in the radial direction on a side far from the magnetic pole center axis of the insertion hole.

5. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein

a first projection projecting outward in the radial direction is formed on the hole inner side peripheral surface of each insertion hole, and the first projection is formed in contact with the circumferential-direction-side end surface of the magnet.

6. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein

each insertion hole comprises insertion holes divided by a bridge portion, and

in the insertion holes divided by the bridge portion, the magnets are arranged symmetrically between left and right with respect to the magnetic pole center axis of the insertion holes.

7. The rotor according to claim 6 , wherein

on the bridge portion between the insertion holes divided by the bridge portion, a second projection is formed which projects toward a magnet side in each insertion hole and contacts with the magnet.

8. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein

a hole circumferential-direction-side end surface of each insertion hole is formed in an arc shape.

9. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein

the insertion holes are formed in a plurality of layers in the radial direction.

10. A rotating electric machine comprising:

the rotor according to claim 1 ;

15. The rotor according to claim 14 , wherein

on the bridge portion between the insertion holes divided by the bridge portion, a second projection is formed which projects toward a magnet side in each insertion hole and contacts with the magnet.

16. The rotor according to claim 2 , wherein

a hole circumferential-direction-side end surface of each insertion hole is formed in an arc shape.

17. The rotor according to claim 2 , wherein

the insertion holes are formed in a plurality of layers in the radial direction.
