Description

  The present invention relates to a flywheel magnet rotor used as a rotor of a magnetic AC generator and a method for manufacturing the same.

  As a generator attached to the internal combustion engine, a magnet type AC generator as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 is used. 11 and 12, reference numeral 10 'denotes a flywheel magnet rotor, which is an iron cup-shaped flywheel having a peripheral wall portion 11a and a bottom wall portion 11b that closes one end side in the axial direction of the peripheral wall portion. 11 and a permanent magnet 12 attached to the inner periphery of the peripheral wall of the flywheel. A boss portion 11c is provided at the center of the bottom wall portion of the flywheel 11, and a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine (not shown) is fitted into a tapered hole 11d provided in the axial center portion of the boss portion. A stator (not shown) fixed to an engine case, a cover, or the like is disposed inside the rotor 10 ', and the stator and the rotor 10' constitute a magnet type AC generator. A stator (not shown) includes an armature core having a magnetic pole portion facing the magnetic pole of the rotor 10 'and an armature coil wound around the armature core.

  In general, an internal combustion engine requires engine speed information and crank angle information (information on the rotation angle position of the crankshaft) in order to control the ignition timing, fuel injection time, and the like. As a means for obtaining engine rotation speed information and crank angle information, a pulse generator that generates a pulse signal in accordance with rotation of the crankshaft of the engine is used. Various types of pulse generators are known, but when a magnet generator equipped with a flywheel magnet rotor is attached to an engine, a reluctator (induction) provided on the outer periphery of an iron flywheel is used. In many cases, a pulse signal is generated by detecting the edge of a child.

  This type of pulse generator includes an iron core having a magnetic pole portion facing the reluctor at the tip, a signal coil wound around the iron core, and a permanent magnet magnetically coupled to the iron core. When starting to face the magnetic pole part (when detecting the front end edge in the rotation direction of the reluctator) and when the reluctator finishes facing the magnetic pole part of the iron core (detecting the rear end edge in the rotation direction of the relaxor) In this case, a pulse signal is induced in the signal coil by a change in magnetic flux generated in the iron core.

  In the example shown in FIG.11 and FIG.12, the annular protrusion 13 extended over the full length of the circumferential direction of this flywheel is formed in the outer periphery of the surrounding wall part 11a of the flywheel 11, This protrusion 13 Are formed at a distance in the circumferential direction of the flywheel, and the protrusions formed on both sides of the recesses 14, 14,... 15, 15, ..., 15.

  The ridge 13 is formed by turning the outer periphery of the flywheel. In addition, the recess forming recesses 14, 14,... Are formed by using the portions where the respective recess forming recesses are formed near the outer periphery of the protrusion 13 as shown in FIG. It is formed by cutting with a cutting tool (end mill) 16 that moves in the axial direction of the flywheel.

A magnet type AC generator provided with a flywheel magnet rotor as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 is disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example.
