Generator motor for vehicles

Abstract

It is an object of the invention to obtain a generator motor for vehicles that can increase generated power or generated torque by a special positioning of permanent magnets in gaps between predetermined claw magnetic poles. The invention provides a generator motor for vehicles that includes a stator and a rotor provided rotatably within the inner periphery of the stator. The rotor includes: a pair of pole cores with plural claw magnetic poles formed on outer peripheral sides thereof, the plural claw magnetic poles of respective pole cores facing opposite to each other and meshing; plural permanent magnets that are arranged in the spaces between the claw magnetic poles adjacent to one another in the rotor circumferential direction; and a magnetic field coil that is mounted inside the pole cores. In the generator motor for vehicles, each permanent magnet02 is positioned toward one of the claw magnetic poles away from the center in the circumferential direction of the space between the claw magnetic poles.
