Abstract
A structure of a rotor changeable of a magnetic force is provided, which includes a rotor core and a plurality of magnetic pole parts disposed therein. Each magnetic pole part includes a radially-magnetized fixed magnetic-force magnet and a circumferentially-magnetized variable magnetic-force magnet. A cavity part is disposed between the fixed magnetic-force magnet and the variable magnetic-force magnet. The cavity part has a cross-section extending from an end part of the fixed magnetic-force magnet toward an opposing surface. The cavity part is formed so that a distance between the variable magnetic-force magnet and the cavity part in the circumferential direction becomes larger as the cavity part approaches the opposing surface, and a width of the cavity part in the circumferential direction becomes smaller as the cavity part separates from the fixed magnetic-force magnet in the radial direction.
