PERMANENT MAGNET ELECTRICAL MACHINE

摘要

A 2-pole machine arrangement (10) has a stator (100) with windings (101) in conventional form, wound either in a single phase or three phase configuration. The rotor is formed of stacked laminations. The laminations include rotor pole pieces (107) located between the two magnetic poles. Each pole is formed by a pair of (embedded) permanent magnets (103), angularly spaced-apart by inter-magnet segments (106). The rotor pole pieces (107) include a series of evenly-spaced slots (109) and a central void (108). The slots (109) are of various lengths to direct the flux from the magnets (103) into the air gap (121) at a desired angle normal to the rotor surface. The slots 109 may be varied in width and angle to achieve the desired lowest waveform distortion under load and the highest air gap flux. The slots (109) also contribute to changing the saliency of the rotor.

1. A permanent magnet rotating electrical machine comprising:
a wound stator; and a round rotor including at least two magnetic poles with each pole being formed of a pair of angularly spaced-apart permanent magnets, a rotor pole piece located between each said pole, a triangularly shaped void located in the middle of the rotor pole piece, and a plurality of elongate slots located in the rotor pole piece between a void and an adjacent magnet, and wherein the slots are oriented in the rotor pole piece to bisect the no-load direct axis inductance and the magnetic polar axis.
