Reactive current, therefore there is the problems such as efficiency reduction.
Then, a variety of designs of the revolving speed without executing weak magnetic control for improving permanent-magnet rotary electric machine are come up with,
Such as have in patent document 1 and patent document 2 etc. disclosed.
In patent document 1, identical effect is controlled with weak magnetic in order to obtain, and is embedded in the internal rotor of motor forever
The rotor circumferential end of magnet is disposed adjacently magnetic substance piece contact separation mechanism, when revolving speed is high, magnetic substance piece contact point
Disembark structure magnetic substance piece contact rotor bridge part inner surface, and the magnetic substance piece does not connect with bridge part when revolution is low
Touching.
In addition, in patent document 2, rotor for dynamo-electric machine includes: the rotor core that can be rotated；Multiple permanent magnets,
They are respectively inserted to the multiple magnet insertion holes being provided in rotor core；And magnetic flux shorting members, respectively by
It is configured in the multiple magnetic flux barriers opened up between the adjacent magnet insertion holes of rotor core, and is formed from adjacent permanent magnetism
One the first best of iron another the second pole magnetic flux channel.Magnetic flux shorting members at least part is stretched by super mangneto
Compression material is constituted, in rotor high speed rotation, make magnetic conductivity compared to low speed rotation when of the magnetic conductivity of giant magnetostrictive material and
Speech improves, and increases the short circuit flux from the first pole to the second pole, thereby reduces magnetic flux when high speed rotation.
But patent document 1 and patent document 2 in order to change magnetic flux are required to that complicated mechanism is arranged in rotor,
Have the decline of manufacturability, the worry of long-term reliability.
