Abstract
A motor comprising: a rotor including a permanent magnet type rotor unit having a plurality of permanent magnets and a reluctance type rotor unit having a plurality of magnetic salient pole portions and a plurality of slits for preventing flux leakage, the rotor units being coupled to each other in an axial direction; and a stator for generating a field for driving the rotor. Elongated holes for preventing the short-circuit of magnetic fluxes are arranged near edges of the permanent magnet of the permanent magnet type rotor unit. The elongated holes or notches are arranged within a range defined so that 0.95α≦θ≦1.05α with α={(360/S)−R}/2 (degrees), where θ is an angle formed between a magnetic pole boundary and a center of the elongated hole or the notch in a forward direction of rotation of the rotor with respect to a center of a rotating shaft, R is an angle formed by a tooth width of the stator with respect to the center of the rotating shaft, P is the number of rotor poles, and the number of stator slots is S=3P/2.
