Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A consequent-pole-type rotor includes a first rotor core having a first insertion hole, and a second rotor core having a second insertion hole, the second rotor core being stacked on the first rotor core such that the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole together form a space accommodating a permanent magnet. The first insertion hole has an opening at a first circumferential position of the first rotor core, and the second insertion hole is occluded at least at a second circumferential position of the second rotor core. The second circumferential position corresponds to the first circumferential position.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A consequent-pole-type rotor comprising: a first rotor core having a first insertion hole; and a second rotor core having a second insertion hole, the second rotor core being stacked on the first rotor core such that the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole together form a space accommodating a permanent magnet, wherein the first insertion hole has an opening at a first circumferential position of the first rotor core, the opening being kept open without being filled up with any portion of the first rotor core, the second insertion hole is occluded at least at a second circumferential position of the second rotor core, the second circumferential position corresponds to the first circumferential position, and first rotor core blocks in each of which a plurality of the first rotor cores is stacked in an axial direction, and second rotor core blocks in each of which a plurality of the second rotor cores is stacked in the axial directions are alternately stacked in the axial direction. 2. The consequent-pole-type rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the first rotor core and the second rotor core comprise caulking formed in a core portion between a radially outer side of the permanent magnet and an outer peripheral surface of the first rotor core and the second rotor core. 3. The consequent-pole-type rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the opening, the first insertion hole, and the second insertion hole are covered with resin. 4. The consequent-pole-type rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the outer peripheral surface of the first rotor core and the second rotor core covered with resin is circular. 5. The consequent-pole-type rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the first rotor core and the second rotor core are formed by stacking, in an axial direction of the first rotor core and the second rotor core, the first rotor core, the second rotor core, and a third core not having the opening. 6. An electric motor comprising the consequent-pole-type rotor according to claim 1 and a stator. 7. An air conditioner comprising the electric motor according to claim 6 .
