Rotor for use in induction motor
A rotor for use in an induction motor includes a main body installed to be rotatable by having a gap inside a stator, providing a flow path of magnetic fluxes produced from the coil, and including a plurality of conductors formed on an edge region of the main body; a pair of barriers formed to pass through the main body in a manner to have a semi-spherical shape from a sectional view, base lines of the semi-spherical shape being disposed to face each other; and a plurality of permanent magnets disposed inside the individual barriers. Therefore, the permanent magnets can be easily affixed to the inner side of the individual barriers, and the loss of the magnetic fluxes is minimized, thereby improving the efficiency of the rotor.
1. A rotor for use in an induction motor, wherein the rotor is installed in a stator wounded with a coil, the rotor comprising:
a main body installed to be rotatable by having a gap inside the stator, providing a flow path of magnetic fluxes produced from the coil, and including a plurality of conductors formed on an edge region of the main body;
a pair of barriers formed to pass through the main body in a manner to have a semi-spherical shape from a sectional view, base lines of the semi-spherical shape being disposed to face each other; and
a plurality of permanent magnets disposed inside the individual barriers,
wherein each barrier includes a shielding member for shielding the magnetic fluxes, the shielding member being inserted into the barrier to affix respective permanent magnets to the barrier, and
wherein the shielding member has mounting recesses for locking the permanent magnets in the individual barriers.
2. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein the permanent magnets are arranged to contact a curved part of each of the barriers while being spaced by a distance between the permanent magnets.
