Motor including permanent magnet rotor with flux barrier
Abstract:
A rotating portion of a motor includes magnets and a rotor core that holds the magnets in holding holes. Each of the magnets includes a first magnet element and two second magnet elements. The two second magnet elements are located on opposite circumferential sides of the first magnet element, and a coercivity of the two second magnet elements is smaller than the first magnet element. The rotor core includes a flux barrier including a void located on a radially inner side of the first magnet elements. A width of the magnets in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to a radial direction passing through a center of the corresponding first magnet element is larger than a width in the same direction of the corresponding flux barrier within a plane perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the center axis.
