AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Permanent magnet motors face inefficiencies due to increased copper loss and iron loss during field weakening control, and require large currents to change magnetization, which challenges high efficiency in both high torque and high speed regions.

Method used

A rotor design with a flux barrier band and a second rotor that can rotate relative to the first rotor, changing magnetic path and properties without large stator currents, using non-magnetic regions and bridges to manage magnetic flux.

Benefits of technology

Enables efficient magnetic property changes without large currents, improving efficiency across torque and speed regions by optimizing flux linkage.

Abstract

The magnetic properties of the rotor can be changed without requiring a large current in the stator windings. [Solution] According to the first embodiment, the rotor 100 includes a first rotor core 120 having a flux barrier band in which non-magnetic regions and bridges are continuously arranged in a convex shape toward the first rotation axis CL when viewed with respect to one magnetic pole 80p sandwiched between two q axes, a first rotor 100 having a plurality of first rotor magnets 130, 140 arranged within the flux barrier band so as to sandwich the d axis, and a second rotor 210 provided within the flux barrier band so as to be able to rotate relative to the first rotor 100 around the second rotation axis CX. The magnetic path within the first rotor 100 changes as the rotation angle of the second rotor 210 changes.
