Patent attributes
A rotor iron core includes: a plurality of first iron cores and arranged in an outer side in a radial direction of each permanent magnet; and a second iron core with mechanical strength higher than mechanical strength of each first iron core and that includes an inner iron core arranged on an inner side in the radial direction of each permanent magnet and a plurality of inter-magnetic pole iron cores formed integrally with the inner iron core and arranged between magnetic poles of each permanent magnet, wherein each inter-magnetic pole iron core is formed from an end part in a circumferential direction of each first iron core to the inner iron core, and a flux barrier is formed between each permanent magnet and each inter-magnetic pole iron core.
