Abstract
A first magnet, a second magnet, a fourth magnet, and a third magnet are retained on a rotor of a rotary electric machine in this order alongside one another in a circumferential direction. Magnetic fields of the first magnet and the fourth magnet are oriented in radial directions of a stator. Magnetic fields of the second magnet and the third magnet are oriented in circumferential directions of the stator. When the rotor is viewed in plan from above or below, a ratio of a total surface area of the first magnet and the fourth magnet to a total surface area of the second magnet and the third magnet is S14:S23=1:0.2 to 1:1.
Claims5
A rotary electric machine, comprising:
- a stator including a yoke portion configured in an annular shape, and a plurality of teeth portions configured to protrude from a circumferential edge part of the yoke portion in a radial direction of the yoke portion, and in which an electromagnetic coil is provided in slots formed between adjacent ones of the teeth portions;
- and
- a rotor configured to retain a plurality of permanent magnets facing toward the teeth portions,
- wherein the plurality of permanent magnets are configured to include a same number of a first magnet in which a magnetic field thereof is oriented in a radially outward direction of the yoke portion, a second magnet adjacent to the first magnet and in which a magnetic field thereof is oriented in a clockwise direction of the yoke portion, a third magnet adjacent to the first magnet and in which a magnetic field thereof is oriented in a counterclockwise direction of the yoke portion, and a fourth magnet adjacent to the third magnet and in which a magnetic field thereof is oriented in a radially inward direction of the yoke portion, and
- wherein, when the plurality of permanent magnets are viewed in plan from above or below, a ratio of a total surface area of the first magnet and the fourth magnet to a total surface area of the second magnet and the third magnet is 1:0.2 to 1:1.
