Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a motor capable of suppressing reduction of the torque of the motor even if the amount of use of the permanent magnets embedded in the rotor core is reduced. A motor includes a rotor with permanent magnets embedded in a rotor core, and a stator positioned on an outer circumference of the rotor. The rotor includes magnetic poles formed around a rotation axis of the rotor, the magnetic poles having the permanent magnets arranged therein. The permanent magnets in adjacent magnetic poles are arranged such that positions of a north pole and a south pole of the permanent magnet in one magnetic pole are inverted from those of the permanent magnet in a magnetic pole adjacent to the one magnetic pole. The permanent magnets each have a residual magnetization that decreases as it moves from the north pole toward the south pole.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A motor comprising: a rotor with a plurality of permanent magnets embedded in a rotor core; and a stator positioned on an outer circumference of the rotor, wherein: the rotor includes a plurality of magnetic poles formed around a rotation axis of the rotor, the magnetic poles having the permanent magnets arranged therein, the permanent magnets in adjacent magnetic poles are arranged such that positions of a north pole and a south pole of the permanent magnet in one magnetic pole are inverted from those of the permanent magnet in a magnetic pole adjacent to the one magnetic pole, and the permanent magnets each have a residual magnetization that decreases as it moves from the north pole toward the south pole. 2. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein a volume density of the permanent magnet decreases as it moves from the north pole toward the south pole. 3. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the permanent magnet is obtained by stacking a plurality of magnetic layers from the north pole to the south pole, and the magnetic layer close to the north pole has a larger residual magnetization than that of the magnetic layer close to the south pole. 4. The motor according to claim 3 , wherein in the permanent magnet, a volume density the magnetic layer close to the north pole is larger than a volume density of the magnetic layer close to the south pole.
