Abstract

A permanent magnet rotor includes: a rotor shaft; a rotor core having, in each magnetic pole, a first and second outer through holes to make a pair and a first and second inner through holes to make a pair; and a first and second outer magnets, a first and second inner magnets housed in these respectively. An outer opening angle Θa between the first outer through hole and the second outer through hole is larger than an inner opening angle Θb between the first inner through hole and the second inner through hole. An inter-inner through hole length between the first inner through hole and the second inner through hole is larger than that between the first outer through hole and the second outer through hole.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A permanent magnet rotor comprising:
a rotor shaft extending in a rotation axis direction; a rotor core attached to the rotor shaft, and having, in each magnetic pole, a first outer through hole and a second outer through hole that are formed on a radially outer side to make a pair and a first inner through hole and a second inner through hole that are formed on a more radially inner side than the first outer through hole and the second outer through hole to make a pair; a first outer magnet and a second outer magnet housed in the first outer through hole and the second outer through hole respectively; and a first inner magnet and a second inner magnet housed in the first inner through hole and the second inner through hole respectively, wherein an outer opening angle between radially outward extension directions of a radially outer wall of the first outer through hole and a radially outer wall of the second outer through hole is larger than an inner opening angle between radially outward extension directions of a radially outer wall of the first inner through hole and a radially outer wall of the second inner through hole, and wherein an inter-inner through hole length between the first inner through hole and the second inner through hole is larger than an inter-outer through hole length between the first outer through hole and the second outer through hole.

2 . The permanent magnet according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first outer through hole and the second outer through hole are adjacent to each other across two inner center bridges therebetween, wherein of the first inner through hole and the second inner through hole are adjacent to each other across two inner center bridges therebetween, and wherein the outer center bridges and the inner center bridges each incline with their radially outer sides fanning out.

3 . The permanent magnet rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the first outer through hole and the second outer through hole, and the first inner through hole and the second inner through hole communicate with a radially outer side of the rotor core.

4 . The permanent magnet rotor according to claim 1 , wherein with respect to a d-axis which is a center of the magnetic pole, the first inner through hole and the second inner through hole are symmetrical and the first outer through hole and the second outer through hole are symmetrical.

5 . A permanent magnet rotary electric machine comprising:
the permanent magnet rotor according claim 1 ; a stator having a stator core in a cylindrical shape arranged on a radially outer side of the rotor core and a stator winding wound around the stator core; two bearings to rotatably support two sides of the rotor shaft in terms of the rotation axis direction; two bearing brackets to statically support the two bearings respectively; and a frame arranged to cover a radially outer side of the stator and to support the two bearing brackets.
