The present invention relates to a line start synchronous reluctance motor and a rotor thereof. To this end, the present invention provides a line start synchronous reluctance motor including: a rotor; a plurality of conductor bars disposed on a side of an outer circumferential portion of the rotor; and flux barriers formed at an inner side of the rotor so as to be close to the conductor bars, wherein the flux barriers, which are formed in separate regions of a body of the rotor that are arranged to have opposite polarities, are formed to be asymmetrical to each other. Therefore, the present invention improves characteristics of the motor through the asymmetrical flux-barrier structure without changing the number of conductor bars, thereby allowing the initial starting of the motor to be smoothly performed, which is advantageous in terms of torque ripple characteristics and die casting.

A hybrid induction motor includes a fixed stator, an independently rotating outer rotor, and an inner rotor fixed to a motor shaft. The outer rotor is designed to have a low moment of inertia and includes angularly spaced apart first bars and permanent magnets on an inner surface of the outer rotor. The inner rotor includes angularly spaced apart second bars and interior flux barriers aligned with the second bars. The outer rotor is initially accelerated by cooperation of a rotating stator magnetic field with the first bars. As the outer rotor accelerates towards synchronous RPM, a rotating magnetic field of the permanent magnets cooperate with the second bars of the inner rotor to accelerate the inner rotor. At near synchronous speed the rotating stator magnetic field reaches through the outer rotor and into the inner rotor coupling the two rotors for efficient permanent magnet operation.

The present disclosure provides a rotor assembly and a motor. The rotor assembly includes a rotor body; the rotor body includes a plurality of magnetic poles centered on an axis of the rotor body and uniformly arranged along a circumferential direction of the rotor body; each of the magnetic poles includes a filling slot provided therein with a conductive and magnetic isolation material, the filling slots of the plurality of magnetic poles are orderly arranged along the circumferential direction of the rotor body; two ends of each of the filling slots along the circumferential direction of the rotor body have a first sidewall and a second sidewall respectively; the first sidewall of each of the filling slots and the second sidewall of the adjacent filling slot are parallel to each other, and together form a magnetic flux channel parallel to the q-axis.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a rotor and a motor having the rotor. By providing a plurality of flux barrier groups and slot groups at intervals in a circumferential direction of the rotor iron core, it is possible to flexibly arrange the numbers of the flux barrier groups and the slot groups so as to meet the requirements for the number of poles of different products. In addition, by flexibly adjusting the quantity ratio between the flux barrier groups and the slot groups and/or the quantity relationship between the flux barriers in the flux barrier group and the slots in the slot group, it is possible to meet the requirements for motor efficiency and starting capacity of different products. Further, since the processing jig of the rotor only requires processing of the structures of the flux barriers and the slots, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
