Rotor, motor, compressor, and refrigeration air conditioner

A rotor comprising:

• a rotor core;
• and
• a magnet inserted into a magnet insertion hole formed in the rotor core, wherein
• the magnet insertion hole extends in parallel with a rotation axis of the rotor core and, when viewed in cross section perpendicular to the rotation axis, has an arcuate shape having a central portion projecting toward the rotation axis,
• the arcuate shape of the magnet insertion hole is formed such that the arcuate shape includes a first arcuate surface and a second arcuate surface, the second arcuate surface having a center identical to a center of the first arcuate surface and having a radius larger than a radius of the first arcuate surface,
• the second arcuate surface includes two projections projecting toward the first arcuate surface,
• the projections each have a projection contact surface that makes contact with the magnet, the projection contact surfaces being flat faces parallel to each other,
• the magnet is inserted between the two projections, and
• the magnet has two distal angled ends angled between the first arcuate surface and the second arcuate surface, the angled ends including magnet contact surfaces that make contact with the projection contact surfaces, the magnet contact surfaces being flat faces parallel to each other, the angled ends projecting beyond the projection contact surfaces into the magnet insertion hole in a space formed between distal ends of the magnet and the rotor core.
