The invention provides a permanent magnet motor structure for cryogenic pumps, which belongs to the technical field of motor structure. The structure includes permanent magnets, auxiliary slots, magnetic isolation sleeves, starting cage bars, leaf-like holes, a shielding sleeve and air magnetic isolation slots. The permanent magnets are distributed in a 'T' shape, and are provided with the auxiliary slots filled with a non-magnetic material at the end. Each permanent magnet is provided with one magnetic isolation sleeve. The starting cage bars are symmetrically distributed at the edge of a rotor in an integrated three-bar way. The leaf-like holes are concentrically distributed on the rotor. The shielding sleeve is located between a stator and the rotor and is close to the stator. Accordingto the motor structure of the invention, the 'T'-type distribution of the permanent magnets improves the saliency ratio, the auxiliary slots at the end are filled with a non-magnetic material to reduce magnetic leakage and fix the permanent magnets, the magnetic isolation sleeves and the air magnetic isolation slots can reduce magnetic leakage, the starting cage bars can improve the starting torque and shorten the starting time, the leaf-like holes can reduce the inertia of the rotor, circulate the low-temperature medium and strengthen heat dissipation, and the shielding sleeve can prevent the medium from corroding the stator core and the windings.
