The embodiment of the invention provides a method for calculating a 
heat transfer ratio based on the 
eddy current loss of a rotor segmented sheath of a 
permanent magnet motor. The method comprises thefollowing steps: separately establishing a field circuit 
coupling calculation model with a segmented sheath and a field circuit 
coupling calculation model without sheath for the 
permanent magnet motor based on 
vector control, and calculating the loss of each component; then, separately establishing a three-dimensional 
steady state temperature field solution model with a segmented sheath and a three-dimensional 
steady state temperature field solution model without sheath for the 
permanent magnet motor, determining a boundary condition based on an assumed condition, and obtaining a rotor steadystate heat 
conduction equation; separately calculating a heat 
conductivity coefficient in an air gap and the heat 
conductivity coefficient of a 
stator winding, substituting the heat 
conductivity coefficients in the rotor 
steady state heat 
conduction equation, and using the loss as the heat source of a solution domain to obtain a 
steady state temperature field of the permanent 
magnet motor; and separately calculating the temperature of each component under the action on basic wave current on the permanent 
magnet motor in which the rotor has no sheath and the permanent 
magnet motor in which therotor has the segmented sheath, and calculating the 
heat transfer ratio of each component according to the temperature of each component. The method provided by the invention provides important theoretical basis for the design of an electromagnetic structure of the permanent magnet motor.
