Abstract
Abstract A rotor of a permanent magnet type synchronous motor comprises a rotary shaft, a rotary supported by the rotary shaft and including an alternate disposition of a core section in the form of a lamination of a magnetic material which is stacked in the axial direction and a reinforcement section of a non-magnetic material and cavities axially formed in the core and reinforcement sections by passing therethrough, permanent magnets received in the cavities, and a strap interposed at least between the radial outer surface of respective permanent magnets and the opposing inner wall of the cavity, whereby distribution of pressures resulting from a centrifugal force due to the rotation of the rotor, which pressures are imparted on the inner wall of the cavity by the outer surface of the permanent magnet, is uniformed or shared by the strap, thereby preventing the permanent magnet from being fractured.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
201 words
A rotor of a permanent magnet type synchrnous motor comprising: a rotary shaft; a rotor body including a plurality of core sections each of which is in the form of a lamination of a magnetic material, a reinforcement section of a nonmagnetic material interposed between the core sections, said core and reinforcement sections being alternately mounted on the rotary shaft and secured thereto, and a plurality of cavities axially formed in the core and reinforcement sections by passing therethrough, said cavities being each defined by inner and outer walls in the form of a substantial circular arc which are concentric with the rotary shaft and two radial walls; a permanent magnet received in the respective cavities which has substantially the same configuration as the cavity including inner and outer surfaces in the form of a substantial circular arc; and magnet protecting means including a first strap interposed between at least the outer circular arc wall of the respective cavities and the outer surface of the permanent magnet opposing the outer circular arc wall, said first strap covering the entire outer surface of said permanent magnet to protect said permanent magnet from forces caused by high speed rotation of the rotor body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
201 words
A rotor of a permanent magnet type synchrnous motor comprising: a rotary shaft; a rotor body including a plurality of core sections each of which is in the form of a lamination of a magnetic material, a reinforcement section of a nonmagnetic material interposed between the core sections, said core and reinforcement sections being alternately mounted on the rotary shaft and secured thereto, and a plurality of cavities axially formed in the core and reinforcement sections by passing therethrough, said cavities being each defined by inner and outer walls in the form of a substantial circular arc which are concentric with the rotary shaft and two radial walls; a permanent magnet received in the respective cavities which has substantially the same configuration as the cavity including inner and outer surfaces in the form of a substantial circular arc; and magnet protecting means including a first strap interposed between at least the outer circular arc wall of the respective cavities and the outer surface of the permanent magnet opposing the outer circular arc wall, said first strap covering the entire outer surface of said permanent magnet to protect said permanent magnet from forces caused by high speed rotation of the rotor body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
70 words
The rotor according to claim 1, wherein said magnet protecting means further comprises a second strap interposed between the inner circular arc wall of the respective cavities and the inner surface of the permanent magnet opposing the inner circular arc wall, said second strap covering the entire inner surface of said permanent magnet to further protect said permanent magnet from forces caused by high speed rotation of the rotor body.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The rotor structure according to claim 1, wherein said first strap comprises a magnetic material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
The rotor structure according to claim 1, wherein said first strap comprises a magnetic material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
The rotor structure according to claim 2, wherein both of said first and second straps comprise a magnetic material.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
The rotor structure according to claim 2, wherein both of said first and second straps comprise a magnetic material.
