Permanent magnet embedded motor, compressor, and refrigerating and air conditioning apparatus
A permanent magnet embedded motor includes a cylindrical stator core disposed on an inner side of a cylindrical frame and configured by stacking a first annular core and a second annular core disposed to be adjacent to the first annular core in an axial direction of the frame, and a rotor disposed on an inner side of the stator core. The second annular core is fixed to the first annular core by using swaging portions formed in the second annular core, and adjacent first yokes are in contact with each other, while adjacent second yokes are separated from each other.
1. A permanent magnet embedded motor comprising:
a cylindrical frame;
a cylindrical stator core, which is disposed on an inner side of the cylindrical frame and configured by stacking a first annular core and a press-fit second annular core in an axial direction of the cylindrical frame, wherein the press-fit second annular core is press fit into the cylindrical frame; and
a rotor disposed on an inner side of the cylindrical stator core, wherein
the first annular core is formed annularly by disposing a plurality of first core pieces, respectively including first yokes, first teeth projecting from the first yokes, and first swaging portions, such that each of the first core pieces is in contact with an adjacent one of the other first core pieces,
the press-fit second annular core is disposed adjacent to the first annular core and formed annularly by disposing a plurality of second core pieces, respectively including second yokes, second teeth projecting from the second yokes, and second swaging portions, such that a projection of each of the second core pieces is in contact with a projection of an adjacent one of the other second core pieces before being press fit into the cylindrical frame,
projections are located on first end surfaces in a circumferential direction of the second yokes, projections are located on second end surfaces of the second yokes in the circumferential direction,
each of the projections on the first end surfaces and the second end surfaces has substantially a same shape,
a top of a projection of one of the second yokes and a top of a projection of another one of second yokes that is adjacent to the one of the second yokes face each other in the circumferential direction,
the first annular core and the press-fit second annular core are fixed to each other by using the first swaging portions and the second swaging portions, and
a region where the second yokes are in contact with each other after the stator core is fixed to the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical frame is larger than a region where the second yokes are in contact with each other before the stator core is press fit into the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical frame.
2. The permanent magnet embedded motor according to claim 1 , wherein
the first swaging portion is formed only in the first yokes, and
the second swaging portion is formed only in the second yokes.
3. A compressor having the permanent magnet embedded motor according to claim 1 and a compression mechanism incorporated therein.
4. A refrigerating and air conditioning apparatus comprising the compressor according to claim 3 as a constituent element of a refrigeration circuit.
5. The permanent magnet embedded motor according to claim 1 , wherein the first end surfaces and the second end surfaces have substantially a same shape.
