Abstract
Abstract A rotor magnet of the type including a plurality of circumferentially arranged magnets of alternately opposite polarities, wherein each of the magnets has a magnetizing pattern such that the magnetic force is minimum at predetermined portions near opposite ends of the magnet and gradually increases from the predetermined portions toward the center of the magnet and also from the predetermined portions toward the opposite ends of the magnet. With this magnetizing pattern, the rotor magnet has a substantially sinusoidal waveform-like magnetic flux density distribution pattern when the motor is rotating. As a consequence, the magnetic polarity changes smoothly and the motor can, therefore, operate at a low operation noise.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
A motor comprising: a rotor having a plurality of circumferentially arranged permanent magnets of alternate opposite polarities; wherein each of said permanent magnets has opposite ends and a center and has a magnetic field intensity distributed in such a pattern that it is maximum at said center and gradually decreases toward said opposite ends in a circumferential direction; and wherein said magnetic field intensity of each of said permanent magnets is at a minimum at predetermined portions near said opposite ends and increases from said predetermined portions toward said opposite ends so that when said rotor of said motor is rotating, a magnetic induction of said permanent magnets has a continuous sinusoidal pattern.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
113 words
A motor comprising: a rotor having a plurality of circumferentially arranged permanent magnets of alternate opposite polarities; wherein each of said permanent magnets has opposite ends and a center and has a magnetic field intensity distributed in such a pattern that it is maximum at said center and gradually decreases toward said opposite ends in a circumferential direction; and wherein said magnetic field intensity of each of said permanent magnets is at a minimum at predetermined portions near said opposite ends and increases from said predetermined portions toward said opposite ends so that when said rotor of said motor is rotating, a magnetic induction of said permanent magnets has a continuous sinusoidal pattern.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words
