Abstract

Claims (57)

1. A magnet-embedded rotating machine comprising:

a rotor rotatable about a shaft; and

a stator having a facing surface radially facing a peripheral surface of the rotor with a gap interposed therebetween,

the rotor including

a first magnet embedded in an area that is radially spaced from the facing surface of the stator by a first distance or longer, and

a second magnet embedded in an area that is radially spaced from the facing surface of the stator by a second distance or longer, the second distance being longer than the first distance,

Hco ( A )> Hco ( B ),

Hci ( A )> Hci ( B ),

Hco ( A )> Hci ( A ), and

{ Hco ( A )/ Hci ( A )}>{ Hco ( B )/ Hci ( B )}, with

Hco(A) representing a coercive force of the first magnet within a first temperature range corresponding to temperatures at a startup of the rotating machine,

Hco(B) representing a coercive force of the first magnet within a second temperature range corresponding to temperatures during steady-state driving of the rotating machine,

Hci(A) representing a coercive force of the second magnet within the first temperature range,

Hci(B) representing a coercive force of the second magnet within the second temperature range,

the first magnet being a neodymium magnet, or a neodymium magnet in which a portion of neodymium is replaced with lanthanum or cerium, and

the second magnet being a samarium-cobalt magnet, or a neodymium magnet in which a portion of neodymium is replaced with lanthanum or cerium.

2. The magnet-embedded rotating machine of claim 1 , wherein

Hco ( t 1)= Hco ( t 0){1−β o ( t 1− t 0)},

Hci ( t 1)= Hci ( t 0){1− βi ( t 1− t 0)},

t1 and t0 represent temperatures,

βo and βi represent temperature coefficients of the coercive force of the first and second magnets respectively and

β o>βi> 0.

3. The magnet-embedded rotating machine of claim 2 , wherein Hco(B)>Hci(B).

7. The magnet-embedded rotating machine of claim 1 , wherein Hco(B)>Hci(B).

8. The magnet-embedded rotating machine of claim 3 , wherein

the first temperature range is from −20° C. to 40° C., and

the second temperature range is from 100° C. to 200° C.

9. The magnet-embedded rotating machine of claim 7 , wherein

the first magnet is embedded in a first pattern arranged in a form of a straight line, a bent line, or a curve, extending to be more distant from the facing surface of the stator toward the middle of the first pattern, and

the second magnet is embedded in a second pattern arranged in a form of a bent line or a curve, extending to be more distant from the facing surface of the stator toward the middle of the second pattern, the second pattern being more distant from the facing surface of the stator than the first pattern.
