The invention discloses a rotor structure for a high speed
permanent magnet synchronous machine. The rotor structure comprises an
electric machine rotor and a rotating shaft, wherein a
protection layer is arranged at the outermost layer of the
electric machine rotor; the rotating shaft is arranged at the center of the
electric machine rotor; permanent magnets are arranged between the rotating shaft and the
protection layer; the permanent magnets are divided into an inner layer and an outer layer; the permanent
magnet at the outer layer is a ferrite permanent
magnet; the permanent
magnet at the inner layer is a
rare earth permanent magnet; the number of poles of the ferrite permanent magnet is p1, the number of poles of the
rare earth permanent magnet is p2, and P1 is equal to P2; and the central lines of the same poles of the two
layers of permanent magnets are coincident. According to the rotor structure, the advantages of residual
magnetism and low
conductivity of the ferrite permanent magnet and the
advantage of high residual
magnetism of the
rare earth permanent magnet are fully combined, the ferrite permanent magnet and the rare earth permanent magnet are matched according to a certain thickness ratio, so that the vortex loss of the rotor is reduced and the heat dissipation difficulty of the electric
machine is reduced on the premise of guaranteeing the needed
magnetic field generation ability, and furthermore, through the reasonable design, a problem of large volume of the electric
machine, which is caused by entirely using the ferrite permanent magnet material, or large vortex loss of the electric
machine, which is caused by entirely using the rare earth permanent magnet material, is solved.
