Rotor structure of rotating electric machine
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A rotor structure of a rotating electric machine having a rotor and a coil wound around a core of a stator, said rotor comprising a rotor core and disk-shaped end plates provided to sandwich said rotor core in the direction of a rotation shaft, whereinsaid end plates are each formed to have a first end face closer to said rotor core and larger in outer diameter than a second end face, the first and second end faces being located on opposite sides of each end plate, each plate having a side face extending between said first end face and said second end face, and each end plate having curved connecting portions between each of said first and second end faces and the side face to prevent generation of sparks;
- said rotor further comprises a permanent magnet inserted into each of openings formed to be arranged in the circumferential direction of said rotor core,said end plates are each provided to cover the openings of said rotor core;
a gap formed between an outer periphery of each end plate and the stator to prevent deterioration of insulation between coil ends of the coil wound around the stator and the end plates,wherein said end plates are each formed to have said second end face with its outer diameter larger with respect to the circumferentially outermost position of said openings,wherein the side faces of said endplates have thicknesses that gradually decrease in a direction moving from the first end face to the second end face so as to form an angle to prevent generation of sparks, andwherein the coil ends of the coil wound around the stator protrude toward the rotor.

Abstract
A rotor includes a rotor core and disk-shaped end plates provided to sandwich the rotor core in the direction of a rotation shaft. The end plates are each formed to have one end face relatively closer to the rotor core and larger in outer diameter with the center at the rotation shaft than the other end face.
