Abstract

A permanent magnet includes a compression bonded magnet containing a magnetic material and a compression-molding resin material and provided in a magnet hole portion, and an injection bonded magnet containing the magnetic material and an injection-molding resin material and provided so as to adjoin the compression bonded magnet in the magnet hole portion.

Claims (24)

1. A rotor core comprising:

an annular stacked core formed by stacking a plurality of electromagnetic steel sheets and having a magnet hole portion; and

a permanent magnet disposed in the magnet hole portion, wherein

the permanent magnet includes a compression bonded magnet containing a magnetic material and a compression-molding resin material for bonding particles of the magnetic material and provided in the magnet hole portion, and an injection bonded magnet containing the magnetic material and an injection-molding resin material for bonding particles of the magnetic material and provided so as to adjoin the compression bonded magnet in the magnet hole portion.

2. The rotor core according to claim 1 , wherein

the compression bonded magnet is provided on an inner side in the magnet hole portion, and

the injection bonded magnet is provided so as to surround the compression bonded magnet in the magnet hole portion.

3. The rotor core according to claim 2 , wherein the compression bonded magnet has a rectangular shape or a crescent shape when viewed in an axial direction of the rotor core.

4. The rotor core according to claim 1 , wherein a volume ratio of the magnetic material to the compression-molding resin material in the compression bonded magnet is higher than a volume ratio of the magnetic material to the injection-molding resin material in the injection bonded magnet.

5. The rotor core according to claim 4 , wherein a difference between the volume ratio of the magnetic material to the compression-molding resin material in the compression bonded magnet and the volume ratio of the magnetic material to the injection- molding resin material in the injection bonded magnet is 20% or less.

6. The rotor core according to claim 5 , wherein

the volume ratio of the magnetic material to the compression-molding resin material in the compression bonded magnet is 70% or more and 90% or less, and

the volume ratio of the magnetic material to the injection-molding resin material in the injection bonded magnet is 50% or more and 80% or less.

7. The rotor core according to claim 1 , wherein a volume ratio of the compression bonded magnet in the permanent magnet is higher than a volume ratio of the injection bonded magnet in the permanent magnet.

8. A method for manufacturing a rotor core including an annular stacked core formed by stacking a plurality of electromagnetic steel sheets and having a magnet hole portion, and a permanent magnet disposed in the magnet hole portion, the method comprising:

a compression molding step for forming a compression bonded magnet by compression-molding a material containing a magnetic material and a compression-molding resin material for bonding particles of the magnetic material;

a disposing step for disposing the compression bonded magnet in the magnet hole portion of the rotor core after the compression molding step; and

an injection molding step for forming, after the disposing step, an injection bonded magnet by injection molding so that a material containing the magnetic material and an injection-molding resin material for bonding particles of the magnetic material is injected into a gap in the magnet hole portion where the compression bonded magnet is not disposed.

9. The method for manufacturing the rotor core according to claim 8 , wherein

the compression molding step is a step of forming the compression bonded magnet by compression-molding a material containing the compression-molding resin material having a thermosetting property, and

the injection molding step is a step of forming the injection bonded magnet by the injection molding so that a material containing the injection-molding resin material having a thermosetting property or the injection-molding resin material having a thermoplastic property is injected into the gap in the magnet hole portion where the compression bonded magnet is not disposed.

10. The method for manufacturing the rotor core according to claim 8 , wherein

the disposing step is a step of disposing the compression bonded magnet on an inner side in the magnet hole portion of the rotor core, and

the injection molding step is a step of forming the injection bonded magnet by the injection molding so that the material containing the magnetic material and the injection-molding resin material is injected into the magnet hole portion so as to surround the compression bonded magnet disposed in the magnet hole portion.
