METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ROTOR, ROTOR, DRIVE APPARATUS, AND END PLATE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240162793 titled 'METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ROTOR, ROTOR, DRIVE APPARATUS, AND END PLATE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for manufacturing a rotor that efficiently cools down a magnet inserted into a magnet insertion hole of a rotor core. The method involves fixing end plates to the rotor core, making the magnet insertion hole and a slit in the end plate continuous, holding the magnet in place with a convex part, and fixing the magnet in position.

Original Abstract Submitted
a method for manufacturing a rotor capable of efficiently cooling down a magnet inserted into a magnet insertion hole of a rotor core is provided. the method for manufacturing the rotor includes: fixing a first end plate in which a slit is formed to one end part of the rotor core in an axial direction and causing a magnet insertion hole of the rotor core and the slit of the first end plate to be continuous; fixing a second end plate to another end part of the rotor core in the axial direction; and holding the magnet inserted into the magnet insertion hole of the rotor core by a convex part that is formed in a position of the first end plate overlapping the magnet in the axial direction of the rotor core and the second end plate and fixing the magnet therein.
