  • Patent number: 10116189
    Abstract: A rotating electrical machine has a housing, a stator having a stator core and a rotor having a rotor core and rotor side plates rotatably supported by the housing. The rotor core is arranged to have a gap between the end surfaces of the rotor core and the stator. Oil containers are arranged on at least one surface of the rotor side plate. Each oil container has a scoop-up part and an exhaust outlet formed on end sections thereof. When the rotor is rotating, the scoop-up part scoops up an oil stored in the housing, the oil and inside air are compressed in the oil container, and the exhaust outlet exhausts the oil and compressed air to the coil end of the stator. The housing stores the oil at a lowermost side thereof so that the scoop-up part and the exhaust outlet are immersed in the oil.

  • Patent number: 10069360
    Abstract: An electric rotary machine includes a stator, which Is fixed to a housing, composed of a stator core having a coil end protruding at an end face of the stator core, a rotor core formed by laminating core sheets, and a rotor having a pair of rotor side-plates sandwiching both end faces of the rotor core. The rotor core is rotatably supported in the housing facing an inner peripheral surface of the stator with a gap between the rotor core and the stator. Either one or both of the rotor side-plates has a concave surface in an outer surface of the side-plate that does not abut the rotor core. An axial distance from the end face of the rotor core to the concave surface increases from an inner diameter side to an outer diameter side.

  • Patent number: 10020697
    Abstract: A double-stator electric rotating machine with a retainer. The retainer includes a connector which joints between an outer stator and an inner stator. The retainer is placed in contact with an outer peripheral surface of the outer stator and an inner peripheral surface of the inner stator to retain the outer and inner stators together. Specifically, the retainer works to join the outer stator and the inner stator together and also to tightly hold the outer periphery of the outer stator and the inner periphery of the inner stator, thus minimizing misalignment of the outer and inner stators in axial and radial directions there of.
