Abstract

A rotor includes a rotary member, a plurality of permanent magnets disposed on an outer circumference of the rotary member, and a cover tube that is mounted to outer circumference of the permanent magnets to cover the permanent magnets, and is formed of a fiber reinforced plastic. At least one of the rotary member and the permanent magnets has a diameter enlarged portion having a diameter enlarged circumferential surface. The diameter enlarged portion has a diameter that enlarges from a first diameter region to a second diameter region. The first diameter region has a diameter equal to or less than an inner diameter of the cover tube. The second diameter region has a diameter equal to or more than an outer diameter of the permanent magnets.

Claims (24)

1. A rotor comprising:

a rotary member;

a plurality of permanent magnets disposed on an outer circumference of the rotary member; and

a cover tube that is mounted to outer circumference of the permanent magnets to cover the permanent magnets, and is formed of a fiber reinforced plastic, wherein at least the rotary member of the rotary member and the permanent magnets has a diameter enlarged portion having a diameter enlarged circumferential surface such that the cover tube is increased in diameter as the cover tube is inserted,

the diameter enlarged portion has a diameter that enlarges from a first diameter region to a second diameter region,

the first diameter region has a diameter equal to or less than an inner diameter of the cover tube, and

the second diameter region has a diameter equal to or more than an outer diameter of the permanent magnets.

2. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the diameter enlarged portion is provided in an at least one end portion in a rotary axis direction.

3. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the diameter enlarged portion is provided in both end portions in the rotary axis direction, and

the cover tube is divided along the rotary axis direction.

4. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the diameter enlarged portion is configured to be coupled with an end portion of the rotary member.

5. The rotor according to claim 4 , wherein the diameter enlarged portion and the rotary member include matching portions that match rotary centers of the diameter enlarged portion and the rotary member.

6. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the diameter enlarged circumferential surface of the diameter enlarged portion is formed to be a tapered shape or a curved shape.

7. A rotary electric machine comprising:

the rotor according to claim 1 ;

a rotary axis that supports the rotor; and

a stator provided in an outer circumference of the rotor.

8. A manufacturing method for manufacturing a rotor including a rotary member, a plurality of permanent magnets disposed on an outer circumference of the rotary member, and a cover tube formed of a fiber reinforced plastic, wherein

at least the rotary member of the rotary member and the permanent magnets has a diameter enlarged portion having a diameter enlarged circumferential surface such that the cover tube is increased in diameter as the cover tube is inserted,

the diameter enlarged portion has a diameter that enlarges from a first diameter region to a second diameter region,

the first diameter region has a diameter equal to or less than an inner diameter of the cover tube, and

the second diameter region has a diameter equal to or more than an outer diameter of the permanent magnets,

the manufacturing method comprises:

putting the cover tube around the outer circumference of the permanent magnets by pushing the cover tube from the first diameter region to enlarge the inner diameter of the cover tube by the second diameter region of the diameter enlarged portion.
