Abstract
A rotor according to an aspect of the present invention includes a shaft including: a first shaft hole extending in an axial direction; and a second shaft hole extending radially outward from the first shaft hole and opening to an outer peripheral surface of the shaft. A rotor core includes a plurality of core holes extending in the axial direction and disposed at intervals in a circumferential direction. A plate includes a through-hole overlapping the core hole when viewed in the axial direction, and a flow path connecting the second shaft hole and the through-hole. The plate has an outer edge away from a central axis by a second distance that is shorter than a first distance from the central axis to an outer edge of the rotor core.
Claims11
A rotor provided in a motor, the rotor comprising:
- a shaft extending in an axial direction about a central axis;
- a rotor core including a plurality of core pieces disposed side by side in the axial direction and fixed to an outer peripheral surface of the shaft;
- and
- a plate made of a non-magnetic metal material disposed between the core pieces adjacent to each other in the axial direction and surrounding the shaft,
- the shaft including;
- a first shaft hole extending in the axial direction;
- and
- a second shaft hole extending radially outward from the first shaft hole and opening to an outer peripheral surface of the shaft,
- the rotor core including a plurality of core holes extending in the axial direction and disposed at intervals in a circumferential direction,
- the plate including;
- a through-hole overlapping the core hole when viewed in the axial direction;
- and
- a flow path connecting the second shaft hole and the through-hole, and
- the plate having an outer edge away from the central axis by a second distance that is shorter than a first distance from the central axis to an outer edge of the rotor core.
