Patent ID: 7642691

Claim:
A dynamoelectric machine comprising: a rotor comprising: a pole core having: a boss portion; a pair of yoke portions that are disposed so as to extend radially outward from two axial end edge portions of said boss portion; and a plurality of claw-shaped magnetic pole portions that are disposed so as to extend in an axial direction alternately from each of said pair of yoke portions, and that are arranged circumferentially so as to intermesh with each other, said pole core being fixed to a rotating shaft that is inserted through a central axial position of said boss portion; and a field coil that is housed inside a space that is surrounded by said boss portion, said pair of yoke portions, and said plurality of claw-shaped magnetic pole portions; a stator that is disposed so as to surround an outer circumference of said rotor so as to form a predetermined air gap, a magnet holder that is held between circumferentially-adjacent claw-shaped magnetic pole portions of said pair of yoke portions, a receiving groove being recessed into an upper surface of said magnet holder so as to pass through in said axial direction; a permanent magnet that is mounted to said magnet holder by fitting together with said receiving groove so as to face an inner circumferential surface near a tip end of said claw-shaped magnetic pole portion; a magnet cover comprising: a base portion; and a pair of wing portions that are disposed so as to extend from two opposite sides of said base portion, said magnet cover being mounted to said permanent magnet such that an upper surface of said permanent magnet is covered by said base portion and said pair of wing portions are placed alongside two circumferential end surfaces of said permanent magnet, and being mounted to said magnet holder such that leading end portions of said pair of wing portions are fitted between said permanent magnet and said receiving groove; a resin material that fixes said permanent magnet and said magnet cover to said magnet holder by filling an adhesive space that is bounded by said permanent magnet, said magnet cover, and said receiving groove; and a resin injection aperture that is formed on said magnet holder so as to communicate between an external portion of said magnet holder and said adhesive space.
