Embedded magnet type motor

An embedded magnet type motor, comprising a rotor, wherein the rotor includes a rotor core having an axial line and a plurality of magnets constituting magnetic poles, the number of which is represented by P,

• wherein the rotor core has a plurality of accommodation holes arranged in a circumferential direction of the rotor core, wherein the accommodation holes perforate the rotor core along the axial direction of the rotor core,
• wherein the accommodation holes include first accommodation holes, the number of which is represented by P/2, and V-shaped accommodation holes, the number of which is represented by P/2, the first accommodation holes extending in radial directions of the rotor core, the V-shaped accommodation holes protruding radially outward, wherein the first accommodation holes and the V-shaped accommodation holes are arranged alternately in the circumferential direction, each V-shaped accommodation hole has a second accommodation hole and a third accommodation hole corresponding to two straight lines forming the V shape, and each first accommodation hole is adjacent to a second accommodation hole on one side in the circumferential direction and adjacent to a third accommodation hole on the other side,
• wherein the magnets include first magnets disposed in the first accommodation holes, second magnets disposed in the second accommodation holes, and third magnets disposed in the third accommodation holes, and each first magnet and the second magnet adjacent to the same first magnet constitute one magnetic pole, and each first magnet and the third magnet adjacent to the same first magnet constitute another magnetic pole,
• wherein a first gap is formed in each first accommodation hole at a radially outer portion, the corresponding first magnet not occupying the first gap, wherein a second gap is formed in each second accommodation hole at a radially outer portion, the corresponding second magnet not occupying the second gap, and wherein a third gap is formed in each third accommodation hole at a radially outer portion, the corresponding third magnet not occupying the third gap, each second gap and the adjacent third gap forming one V-shaped gap, and
• wherein an angular width θa of each first gap and an angular width θb of each V-shaped gap are determined to satisfy the expression:
• 0.60<θa/θb<1.60.
