Abstract

Provided are a rotor of a rotary electrical machine, a rotary electrical machine, and a vehicle, which enable mitigation of stress concentration generated in a magnet insertion hole of a rotor core and high-speed rotation. A rotor 250 of a rotary electrical machine includes: a rotor core 252 including a plurality of magnet insertion holes 253 for each magnetic pole; and permanent magnets 254 inserted into the magnet insertion holes, in which a bridge portion 260 , which mechanically connects a rotor core portion 256 on the outer circumferential side of the magnet insertion holes 253 and a rotor core portion 263 on the inner circumferential side of the magnet insertion holes 253 , is provided between the adjacent magnet insertion holes, and the bridge portion 260 has two inflection points 266 a and 266 b on the outer circumferential side of the bridge portion 260.

Claims (22)

1. A rotor of a rotary electrical machine, comprising:

a rotor core comprising a plurality of magnet insertion holes for each magnetic pole; and

permanent magnets inserted into the magnet insertion holes,

wherein a bridge portion, which mechanically connects a rotor core portion on an outer circumferential side of the magnet insertion holes and a rotor core portion on an inner circumferential side of the magnet insertion holes, is provided between the magnet insertion holes which are adjacent, and

the bridge portion includes two inflection points on an outer circumferential side of the bridge portion.

2. The rotor of a rotary electrical machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein the bridge portion has a side or an arc, which connects the two inflection points, between the two inflection points on the outer circumferential side.

3. The rotor of a rotary electrical machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein the bridge portion has two inflection points on an inner circumferential side of the bridge portion.

4. The rotor of a rotary electrical machine according to claim 3 ,

wherein the bridge portion has a side or an arc, which connects the two inflection points, between the two inflection points on the inner circumferential side.

5. The rotor of a rotary electrical machine according to claim 3 ,

wherein an angle formed by an oblique side portion connecting the two inflection points on the inner circumferential side is greater than an angle formed by an oblique side portion connecting the two inflection points on the outer circumferential side.

6. The rotor of a rotary electrical machine according to claim 3 ,

wherein an angle formed by an oblique side portion connecting the two inflection points on the outer circumferential side is greater than an angle formed by an oblique side portion connecting the two inflection points on the inner circumferential side.

7. The rotor of a rotary electrical machine according to claim 3 ,

wherein an angle formed by an oblique side portion connecting the two inflection points on the outer circumferential side is equal to an angle formed by an oblique side portion connecting the two inflection points on the inner circumferential side.

8. A rotary electrical machine comprising:

the rotor of a rotary electrical machine according to claim 1 ; and

a stator opposing the rotor through a gap.

9. A vehicle comprising the rotary electrical machine according to claim 8 ,

wherein the rotary electrical machine is used as a driving force source upon running.
