Japanese Patent No. 4351482

  In a conventional magnet-embedded rotor, a flat rubber elastic body is interposed between the magnet and the metal plate, so that the force to compress the magnet set in the thickness direction becomes large, and the mass productivity of the rotor As a result, the magnets are damaged and the yield is reduced. Furthermore, after the rubber elastic body is shrunk and the magnet set is fitted into the slot of the rotor core, the magnet set is press-fitted into the slot, so that the work of assembling the magnet into the rotor core becomes complicated, and the mass productivity of the rotor decreases In addition, the stress in the insertion direction into the slot acts on the magnet through the metal plate, the magnet is damaged, and the inner wall surface of the slot is further deformed, resulting in a decrease in yield.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and is provided in a rotor core in a state in which a string-like rubber-like elastic body has its length direction aligned with the axial direction and extended in the length direction. The magnet is inserted between the magnet insertion hole and the permanent magnet so that the permanent magnet is elastically held on the rotor core by the restoring force of the rubber-like elastic body, so that mass production of the rotor can be improved and the yield of the magnet can be increased. and to obtain a write-type rotary electric machine.

A magnet-embedded rotating electrical machine according to the present invention is inserted and fixed in a stator, a rotor core rotatably disposed in the stator, and a magnet insertion hole formed so as to penetrate the rotor core in the axial direction. A rotor having a permanent magnet, and a string-like rubber-like elastic body is interposed between the permanent magnet and the magnet insertion hole in a state of being stretched in the length direction. The permanent magnet is pressed against the outer peripheral side wall surface of the magnet insertion hole by the restoring force accompanying the contraction of the rubber-like elastic body, and is elastically held by the rotor core, and the rubber-like elasticity Both end portions of the body protrude from the rotor core on both sides in the axial direction .

According to this invention, since the string-like rubber-like elastic body is used, the force for compressing the rubber-like elastic body is reduced. Moreover, the permanent magnet is pressed against the outer peripheral side wall surface of the magnet insertion hole and elastically held by the rotor core simply by contracting the extended rubber-like elastic body. Therefore, the assembly property of the permanent magnet is improved, and the mass productivity of the rotor is improved.
Further, since it is not necessary to press-fit the permanent magnet and an excessive load does not act on the permanent magnet, the occurrence of damage to the permanent magnet is suppressed and the yield is increased.

FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the elastic magnet holding mechanism of the permanent magnet according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. FIG. 7 is a plan view of the magnet according to the first embodiment of the present invention. It is a cross-sectional view showing another embodiment of the elastic retaining structure of the permanent magnet by the rubber-like elastic material in the mold rotating electric machine. In FIG. 2, a rubber-like elastic body in a free state is indicated by a dotted line. Further, the longitudinal section is a section including the axis of the shaft, and the transverse section is a section orthogonal to the axis of the shaft.

  In FIG. 1, an embedded magnet motor 1 as an embedded magnet type rotating electrical machine is provided with a shaft 8 rotatably supported by a frame (not shown) and a shaft 8 that is fixed to the shaft 8 so as to be rotatable within the frame. And a stator coil 4 attached to the stator core 3. The stator core 3 is held by a frame and is arranged so as to surround the rotor 5 through a predetermined gap. And a stator 2 provided.

  The rotor 5 is press-fitted and fixed in, for example, a rotor core 6 manufactured by laminating and integrating electromagnetic steel plates punched into a predetermined shape, and a shaft insertion hole 7 formed so as to penetrate the axial center position of the rotor core 6. The shaft 8 is formed so as to penetrate the rotor core 6, and the permanent magnet 10 is inserted into the magnet insertion holes 9 arranged at an equiangular pitch on the same circumference, and the permanent magnet 10 is elastically held in the rotor core 6. A rubber-like elastic body 11.

  The magnet insertion hole 9 is formed in a hole shape having a rectangular cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the axis of the shaft 8. The permanent magnet 10 has a rectangular shape that can be inserted into the magnet insertion hole 9 in a loosely fitted state, and is formed in a strip shape having a length substantially equal to the axial length of the rotor core 6. The rubber-like elastic body housing groove 12 has a semi-elliptical cross-sectional shape (groove shape) orthogonal to the groove direction, and the groove direction is made to coincide with the axial direction of the shaft 8 so that the inner peripheral side wall surface (bottom surface) of the magnet insertion hole 9 ) In the center in the circumferential direction so as to extend from one end to the other end of the shaft 8 in the axial direction. The rubber-like elastic body 11 is formed in a string shape having a circular cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the length direction. The rubber-like elastic body 11 is extended in the length direction and is housed in the rubber-like elastic body housing groove 12, and is interposed between the permanent magnet 10 and the rubber-like elastic body housing groove 12. .

  The rubber-like elastic body 11 stretched in the length direction has a cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the length direction that is thinner than the cross-sectional shape in a free state (there is no external force). Therefore, the rubber-like elastic body 11 interposed between the permanent magnet 10 and the rubber-like elastic body housing groove 12 contracts (restores) the length to a free state length and is orthogonal to the length direction. Attempts to expand (restore) the cross-sectional shape into a free-form cross-sectional shape. The restoring force of the cross-sectional shape of the rubber-like elastic body 11 acts to press the permanent magnet 10 against the outer peripheral side wall surface (upper surface) of the magnet insertion hole 9. As shown in FIG. 2, the rubber-like elastic body 11 is interposed between the permanent magnet 10 and the rubber-like elastic body housing groove 12 while being elastically deformed and leaving a predetermined restoring force. Thereby, the permanent magnet 10 is elastically held by the rotor core 6 by the restoring force of the rubber-like elastic body 11.

  The rubber-like elastic body 11 is crushed by the permanent magnet 10 and the rubber-like elastic body housing groove 12 and elastically has a substantially elliptical cross section that bulges from the circular cross section in the groove width direction of the rubber-like elastic body housing groove 12. It is deformed. As shown in FIG. 2, the rubber-like elastic body storage groove 12 has a gap with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the bulging portion of the rubber-like elastic body 11 in the groove width direction of the rubber-like elastic body storage groove 12. doing.

  Here, the assembly method of the permanent magnet 10 to the rotor core 6 is demonstrated based on FIG.

  First, the rubber-like elastic body 11 is passed through the magnet insertion hole 9, and both ends thereof are gripped and pulled in the length direction to extend the rubber-like elastic body 11. Then, as shown in FIG. 3A, the stretched rubber-like elastic body 11 is positioned in the rubber-like elastic body housing groove 12. Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, the permanent magnet 10 is inserted into the magnet insertion hole 9. Then, after the permanent magnet 10 is completely accommodated in the magnet insertion hole 9, the tensile force of the rubber-like elastic body 11 is loosened as shown in FIG. Thereby, the length of the rubber-like elastic body 11 is gradually reduced. The rubber-like elastic body 11 is restored so that the cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the length direction gradually becomes the initial state, and the permanent magnet 10 is pushed up. When the permanent magnet 10 comes into contact with the upper surface of the magnet insertion hole 9, the rubber-like elastic body 11 is restored by a predetermined amount so as to bulge in the groove width direction, and then the restoration is stopped. Therefore, when the gripping of both ends of the rubber-like elastic body 11 is released, the permanent magnet 10 is restored by a restoring force in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the rubber-like elastic body 11 as shown in FIG. It is pressed against the upper surface of the magnet insertion hole 9 and elastically held by the rotor core 6.

  In addition, after the permanent magnet 10 is completely accommodated in the magnet insertion hole 9, the tensile force of the rubber-like elastic body 11 is loosened, and the rubber-like elastic body 11 is gradually restored. After being stored in the magnet insertion hole 9, the rubber-like elastic body 11 may be restored by releasing the gripping of the rubber-like elastic body 11.

  According to the first embodiment, the string-like rubber-like elastic body 11 is passed through the magnet insertion hole 9 formed so as to penetrate the rotor core 6 in the axial direction, and the rubber-like elastic body 11 is extended in the length direction. Then, after the permanent magnet 10 is inserted into the magnet insertion hole 9, the elastic force of the rubber-like elastic body 11 is released and restored, and the permanent magnet 10 is elastically applied to the rotor core 6. It is held.

  Thereby, the permanent magnet 10 can be easily assembled | attached to the rotor core 6, and the mass productivity of the rotor 5 can be improved.

  Further, when the permanent magnet 10 is inserted into the magnet insertion hole 9, no stress acts on the permanent magnet 10. Further, since the force for extending the rubber-like elastic body 11 is released in a state where the permanent magnet 10 is housed in the magnet insertion hole 9, stress in the thickness direction of the permanent magnet 10 mainly acts on the permanent magnet 10. However, the stress in the hole direction of the magnet insertion hole 9 does not act on the permanent magnet 10. Therefore, the occurrence of damage to the permanent magnet 10 when the permanent magnet 10 is assembled to the rotor core 6 can be significantly reduced, and the yield can be increased.

  Further, when the permanent magnet 10 is inserted into the magnet insertion hole 9 and the force for extending the rubber-like elastic body 11 is released, the stress in the hole direction of the magnet insertion hole 9 acts on the inner wall surface of the magnet insertion hole 9. Therefore, the occurrence of a situation where the inner wall surface of the magnet insertion hole 9 is deformed is avoided, and the yield can be increased.

  Further, the rubber-like elastic body housing groove 12 extends from one end to the other end in the axial direction of the shaft 8 in the circumferential center position of the bottom surface of the magnet insertion hole 9 with the groove direction coinciding with the axial direction of the shaft 8. Is recessed. Therefore, the rubber-like elastic body 11 can be easily set in the magnet insertion hole 9, and the assemblability of the permanent magnet 10 to the rotor core 6 is improved. Moreover, the circumferential displacement of the rubber-like elastic body 11 in the magnet insertion hole 9 is prevented, and the stability of the elastic holding of the permanent magnet 10 is enhanced.

  Further, the rubber-like elastic body accommodation groove 12 is expanded in the groove width direction of the rubber-like elastic body accommodation groove 12 of the rubber-like elastic body 11 interposed between the permanent magnet 10 and the rubber-like elastic body accommodation groove 12. It is formed in a groove shape having a gap with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the protruding portion. Therefore, since the compressive load does not act on the rubber-like elastic body 11 from the groove width direction of the rubber-like elastic body housing groove 12, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of sag of the rubber-like elastic body 11. Thereby, the rubber-like elastic body 11 can stably retain the permanent magnet 10 for a long period of time.

  Further, both end portions of the rubber-like elastic body 11 protrude from the end face of the rotor core 6. Therefore, by grasping both ends of the protruding rubber-like elastic body 11 and extending the rubber-like elastic body 11, the load for elastically holding the permanent magnet 10 can be removed, and the permanent magnet 10 can be removed. Thus, the permanent magnet 10 can be easily taken out without being damaged, and the permanent magnet 10 can be recycled.

  Here, the rotor 5 was produced by changing the compression rate ((thickness after compression / thickness in free state) × 100) (%) of the rubber-like elastic body 11 incorporated in the magnet insertion hole 9, and subjected to a high temperature test (150 ° C. 120 hours), the rubber-like elastic body 11 is taken out, and the result of observing the restored state of the rubber-like elastic body 11 is shown in FIG. The permanent magnet 10 was made of a neodymium magnet (epoxy coating), and the rubber-like elastic body 11 was made of fluororubber FR-27 (manufactured by Tigers Polymer).

The rubber-like elastic bodies 11 incorporated in the magnet insertion holes 9 with the compression ratios of 65% and 70% ensured the function of elastically holding the permanent magnet 10 after the high temperature test. When the rubber-like elastic body 11 was taken out from the magnet insertion hole 9, each rubber-like elastic body 11 was restored to a free thickness.
The rubber-like elastic body 11 incorporated in the magnet insertion hole 9 with a compression rate of 60% had a slightly reduced function of elastically holding the permanent magnet 10 after the high temperature test. When the rubber-like elastic body 11 was taken out from the magnet insertion hole 9, the rubber-like elastic body 11 was restored to a thickness of 80% of the thickness in the free state.

The rubber-like elastic body 11 incorporated in the magnet insertion hole 9 with a compression rate of 55% had a greatly reduced function of elastically holding the permanent magnet 10 after the high temperature test. When the rubber-like elastic body 11 was taken out from the magnet insertion hole 9, the rubber-like elastic body 11 was restored only to a thickness of 60% of the thickness in the free state.
The rubber-like elastic bodies 11 incorporated in the magnet insertion holes 9 with the compression ratios of 50% and 40% lost the function of elastically holding the permanent magnet 10 after the high temperature test. When the rubber-like elastic body 11 was taken out from the magnet insertion hole 9, the rubber-like elastic body 11 was plastically deformed to be 50% and 40% of the thickness in the free state, respectively. That is, the rubber-like elastic body 11 taken out was not restored at all.

  Thus, when the thickness of the rubber-like elastic body 11 is compressed to 60% or less of the thickness in the free state, it can be seen that sag occurs and the permanent magnet 10 cannot be elastically held for a long time. Therefore, considering the sag of the rubber-like elastic body 11 from FIG. 4, it is preferable that the compression rate of the rubber-like elastic body 11 incorporated in the magnet insertion hole 9 is larger than 60%.

  Next, the elastic holding of the permanent magnet 10 by the rubber-like elastic body 11 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the vertical drag N acts on the permanent magnet 10 from the rubber-like elastic body 11 incorporated in the magnet insertion hole 9. Further, when the magnet-embedded motor 1 is applied as an automobile motor, the inertial force I acts on the permanent magnet 10 during sudden acceleration and vibration. At this time, the static friction force F acts on the permanent magnet 10 in the direction opposite to the inertial force I. Accordingly, during operation of the magnet-embedded electric motor 1, the condition that the permanent magnet 10 is held by the rotor core 6 is (static friction force F of the permanent magnet)> (inertial force I of the permanent magnet during sudden acceleration and vibration) )

  Therefore, as described below, based on the driving conditions of the automobile, the configuration of the rotor 5, and the material of each member, (static friction force F of the permanent magnet)> (inertial force I of the permanent magnet during sudden acceleration and vibration) The compression rate of the rubber-like elastic body 11 is set so as to be satisfied.

The inertial force I due to sudden acceleration is obtained by (maximum angular acceleration of the rotor 5 × radius of the magnet position in the rotor 5 × magnet weight). The inertial force I due to vibration is obtained by (vibration acceleration × magnet weight). Here, assuming that the maximum angular acceleration of the rotor 5 is 5770 rad / s ² , the radius of the installation position of the permanent magnet 10 is 57 mm, the weight of the permanent magnet 10 is 16 g, and the vibration is 30 G, the inertial force I due to sudden acceleration is 5. 26N, and the inertial force I due to vibration is 4.70N.
Therefore, the static frictional force F of the permanent magnet 10 is 9 . It is necessary to make it larger than 96N (= 5.26N + 4.70N).

  The static friction force F of the permanent magnet 10 is obtained by (vertical drag N × static friction coefficient received from the rubber-like elastic body 11 in a compressed state). When the normal drag N was measured when the compression rate of the rubber-like elastic body 11 incorporated in the magnet insertion hole 9 was 80%, 70%, and 60%, 13.3N, 21.3N, and 18.0N, respectively. Met. Further, since the static friction coefficient between the rubber-like elastic body 11 and the permanent magnet 10 is 0.7 and the static friction coefficient between the rotor core 6 and the permanent magnet 10 is 0.1, the total static friction coefficient is 0.8. It becomes. Therefore, the static frictional force F of the permanent magnet 10 when the compression rate of the rubber-like elastic body 11 is 80%, 70%, and 60% is 10.6 N, 17.0 N, and 14.4 N, respectively.

For these reasons, in order to elastically hold the permanent magnet 10 on the rotor core 6, it is preferable that the compression rate of the rubber-like elastic body 11 incorporated in the magnet insertion hole 9 is 80% or less.
Here, when the compression rate of the rubber-like elastic body 11 incorporated in the magnet insertion hole 9 is 60%, the vertical drag N is 70% of the compression rate of the rubber-like elastic body 11 incorporated in the magnet insertion hole 9. The vertical drag N is smaller than This is presumably because the rubber-like elastic body 11 having a compression rate of 60% has reached the plastic deformation range.

  In the first embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the rubber-like elastic body 11 is circular, and the cross-sectional shape of the rubber-like elastic body housing groove 12 is semi-elliptical. The groove cross-sectional shape of the elastic storage groove is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the rubber-like elastic body 11 may have a circular cross-sectional shape and the rubber-like elastic body housing groove 12A may have a rectangular cross-sectional shape. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the rubber-like elastic body 11A may have a rectangular cross-sectional shape, and the rubber-like elastic body housing groove 12A may have a rectangular cross-sectional shape. Further, from the viewpoint of suppressing the occurrence of sag of the rubber-like elastic bodies 11, 11A, the rubber-like elastic body housing grooves 12, 12A are interposed between the permanent magnet 10 and the rubber-like elastic body housing grooves 12, 12A. The rubber-like elastic bodies 11 and 11A preferably have a gap with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the bulging portion of the rubber-like elastic body housing groove 12 in the groove width direction. In FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the rubber-like elastic bodies 11, 11A in a free state are indicated by dotted lines.

The end plate 13 produced in this way is fixed to both ends in the axial direction of the rotor core 6 with screws (not shown) or the like so that the end of the rubber-like elastic body 11 is accommodated in the recess 14.
Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

According to the second embodiment, since the end portion of the rubber-like elastic body 11 protruding from the end face of the rotor core 6 is covered with the end plate 13, the end portion of the rubber-like elastic body 11 is subjected to centrifugal force when the rotor 5A is rotated. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the interference with other members.
Further, it is not necessary to cut the end portion of the rubber-like elastic body 11 that protrudes from the end face of the rotor core 6, and a reduction in mass productivity of the rotor 5A can be suppressed.

In FIG. 9, each of the rubber-like elastic body housing grooves 12 is 2 in the circumferential direction at a position symmetrical to the center of the circumferential direction of the bottom surface of the magnet insertion hole 9 with the groove direction coinciding with the axial direction of the shaft 8. The shaft 8 is recessed so as to extend from one end of the shaft 8 in the axial direction to the other end. The two rubber-like elastic bodies 11 are each stretched in the length direction and housed in each rubber-like elastic body housing groove 12, and between the permanent magnet 10 and the rubber-like elastic body housing groove 12.

In the third embodiment, the rubber-like elastic body housing groove 12 is formed at a symmetrical position with respect to the center of the bottom surface of the magnet insertion hole 9 in the circumferential direction. The storage groove 12 is not necessarily formed at a position symmetrical with respect to the center in the circumferential direction of the bottom surface of the magnet insertion hole 9, and is formed so as to be positioned on both sides in the circumferential direction of the bottom surface of the magnet insertion hole 9.

  In the fourth embodiment, the rubber-like elastic bodies 11 are respectively extended between the lower corners on both sides in the circumferential direction of the magnet insertion holes 9 and the chamfered portions 15. Therefore, the restoring force of the rubber-like elastic body 11 that is to contract is applied to the chamfered portion 15. Therefore, in addition to the force pressing outward in the radial direction, a force for sandwiching the permanent magnet 10A from both sides in the circumferential direction acts on the permanent magnet 10A.

Therefore, according to the fourth embodiment, the movement of the permanent magnet 10A in the radial direction and the circumferential direction can be restricted.

It is thicker than the thickness of the rubber-like elastic body 11B.
Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  In the sixth embodiment, the rubber-like elastic body 11B is formed so that the thickness gradually decreases from the center in the length direction toward the end. Therefore, when the rubber-like elastic body 11B disposed in the expanded state in the rubber-like elastic body accommodation groove 12 is contracted, the rubber-like elastic body 11B is restored and the groove direction of the rubber-like elastic body accommodation groove 12 is restored.
