Abstract

Described is a rotor ( 3 ) for an electrical machine ( 1 ) which comprises a rotor laminated core ( 6 ) divided into a plurality of sectors (B), in each of which there is arranged a permanent magnet assembly ( 4 ) which has two permanent magnets ( 13 a, 13 n ) which are arranged in a V shape and which are positioned symmetrically with respect to a plane of symmetry (C) splitting the sector (B) into two half-sectors (D, D′). An outer contour (E) of the rotor laminated core ( 6 ) runs in each sector (B) symmetrically with respect to the plane of symmetry (C) and is formed in one half-sector (D, D′) by at least three different radii with just as many different centre points. The invention also relates to an electric machine ( 1 ) having such a rotor ( 3 ) and to a vehicle ( 17 ) having such an electric machine ( 1 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A rotor for an electrical machine, comprising:
a rotor laminated core divided into a plurality of sectors, in each of which there is arranged a permanent magnet assembly which comprises two first permanent magnets which, as viewed from a rotational axis of the rotor, are positioned in a V shape and symmetrically with respect to a plane of symmetry splitting the sector into two half-sectors,
wherein an outer contour of the rotor laminated core runs in each sector symmetrically with respect to the plane of symmetry, and the outer contour of the rotor laminated core is formed in one half-sector of the half-sectors by four different radii with four different centre points, and
wherein, the permanent magnet assembly additionally comprises two second permanent magnets which, as viewed from the rotational axis of the rotor, are positioned in a V shape and an angle of intersection of the two second permanent magnets is greater than 110 degrees.

2. A rotor according to claim 1 , wherein starting from the plane of symmetry, the radii are arranged in succession from a first radius to a fourth radius in an anti-clockwise direction and
the first radius is 71.5% of a reference length,
a second radius is 100% of the reference length,
a third radius is 50% of the reference length and
the fourth radius is 74.4% of the reference length.

3. A rotor according to claim 2 , wherein
the first radius has the centre point 7.70%/0.00°,
the second radius has the centre point 21.05%/193.18°,
the third radius has the centre point 29.10%/11.70° and
the fourth radius has the centre point 4.25%/29.58°,
wherein the centre points of the radii are specified in polar coordinates starting from the plane of symmetry with 0° in the anti-clockwise direction, wherein the polar coordinates are specified in the form “radius/angle”, and wherein the radius is specified in percentage of the reference length.

4. An electrical machine with a stator, characterized by a rotor according to claim 1 which is mounted so as to be rotatable relative to the stator about the rotational axis of the rotor.

5. A vehicle with at least two axles, of which at least one is driven, wherein a driving action of at least one of the at least two axles is performed at least partially or temporarily by the electrical machine according to claim 4 .
