Abstract

A rotor includes a rotor laminated steel plate ( 12 ), rotor end plates ( 16, 18 ) arranged on both end surfaces of the rotor laminated steel plate ( 12 ), and balance weights ( 20, 22 ) provided on the outer surfaces of the rotor end plates ( 16, 18 ), respectively. The rotor laminated steel plate ( 12 ) and the rotor end plates ( 16, 18 ) are provided with at least three axial through holes ( 24 ) that are equally spaced apart in the circumferential direction. The rotor laminated steel plate ( 12 ) and the rotor end plates ( 16, 18 ) are fixed by three rivets ( 26 a, 26 b, 26 c ) passing through the axial through holes ( 24 ), respectively. The balance weight ( 20 ) is fixed to the rotor end plate ( 16 ) by the two rivets ( 26 a, 26 b ) of the three rivets.

Claims (15)

1. A rotor of a compressor motor comprising:

a rotor laminated steel plate;

a permanent magnet that is located inside the rotor laminated steel plate to form a plurality of magnetic poles along a circumferential direction with a rotation axis as a center;

first and second rotor end plates that are arranged on both end surfaces of the rotor laminated steel plate, respectively, to restrict movement of the permanent magnet in an axial direction; and

first and second balance weights that are provided on outer surfaces of the first and second rotor end plates, respectively, and have arched plate shape, wherein

the rotor laminated steel plate and the first and second rotor end plates are provided with at least five axial through holes that are spaced apart in the circumferential direction,

the rotor laminated steel plate and the rotor end plates are fixed by three rivets passing through three of the axial through holes, respectively,

the three of the axial through holes are spaced 120° apart in the circumferential direction,

the first balance weight is fixed to the first rotor end plate by two of the three rivets,

the second balance weight is fixed to the second rotor end plate by remaining one of the rivets, and is positioned with respect to the second rotor end plate by engagement members provided to the second balance weight and the second rotor end plate,

the engagement members include:

protrusions provided at two end positions of the second balance weight; and

remaining two of the axial through holes except the three of the axial through holes,

by engagement between the protrusions and the remaining two of the axial through holes the second balance weight is positioned with respect to the second rotor end plate, and

the remaining two of the axial through holes are adjacent to an axial through hole through which the remaining one of the rivets passes.
