Abstract

An interior permanent magnet motor includes a stator and a rotor. The rotor includes a rotor core formed by laminating a plurality of plate members. The rotor core has a plurality of magnet insertion holes formed therein, into which corresponding permanent magnets are respectively inserted. At least one slit and at least one caulked portion are formed between a rotor outer peripheral surface of the rotor and a radially-outer insertion hole contour surface of the magnet insertion hole. At least a part of the caulked portion is positioned between a pair of width extended lines of the slit.

Claims (18)

1. An interior permanent magnet motor, comprising:

a stator; and

a rotor rotatably arranged so as to be opposed to the stator,

wherein the rotor comprises a rotor core formed by laminating a plurality of plate members,

wherein the rotor core has a plurality of magnet insertion holes formed therein, into which corresponding permanent magnets are respectively inserted,

wherein at least one slit and at least one caulked portion are formed between a rotor outer peripheral surface of the rotor and a radially-outer insertion hole contour surface of the magnet insertion hole, and

wherein at least a part of the caulked portion is positioned between a pair of width extended lines of the slit.

2. An interior permanent magnet motor according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of magnet insertion holes are each formed into a shape that is convex toward a center side of the rotor.

3. An interior permanent magnet motor according to claim 1 , wherein the entire caulked portion is positioned between the pair of width extended lines of the slit.

4. An interior permanent magnet motor according to claims 1 ,

wherein a plurality of the slits are formed between the rotor outer peripheral surface of the rotor and the radially-outer insertion hole contour surface of the magnet insertion hole, and

wherein the plurality of the slits are arrayed in a width direction.

5. An interior permanent magnet motor according to claims 1 , wherein the caulked portion is formed on a radially inner side with respect to the corresponding slit.

6. A compressor, comprising, in an airtight container:

a motor; and

a compression element,

wherein the motor comprises the interior permanent magnet motor of claim 1 .

7. A refrigeration and air conditioning apparatus, comprising the compressor of claim 6 as a component of a refrigeration cycle.
