  • Patent number: 10211688
    Abstract: A motor includes: an annular stator attached in a housing; a rotor that is disposed in the stator and is rotatably supported by the housing; and a plurality of permanent magnets embedded in a rotor core of the rotor, in which the rotor core has embedding holes respectively in which the permanent magnets are fitted, and each of the embedding holes is formed with filling holes each continuous in an axial direction of the rotor core at diagonal positions of each of the permanent magnets.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 6, 2014
    Date of Patent: February 19, 2019
    Assignee: Komatsu Ltd.
    Inventors: Natsuki Watanabe, Teiichirou Chiba, Yasuhiko Matsuki
  • Patent number: 9660502
    Abstract: A motor includes: a shaft to which a rotor is attached and having an internal cooling medium passage in an inside of the shaft, a cooling medium passing through the internal cooling medium passage; a housing including the shaft disposed therein and configured to rotatably support the shaft; and a cooling medium reservoir provided in the housing and provided on an upstream side of an inlet of the internal cooling medium passage in a flowing direction of the cooling medium, the cooling medium reservoir being configured to store the cooling medium and then flow the cooling medium to the internal cooling medium passage.

  • Patent number: 9379594
    Abstract: It is an object to decrease an amount of a cooling medium which stays in a housing of an electric motor and is not discharged to the outside when cooling the electric motor by the cooling medium. For this reason, an electric motor includes a first discharge port which is provided in a first flange of a housing so that the cooling medium passes therethrough, a second discharge port which is provided in the first flange so that the cooling medium in the housing passing a bearing passes therethrough, and a discharge passageway which discharges the cooling medium passing the first discharge port and the second discharge port to the outside of the housing.

  • Patent number: 9000632
    Abstract: A cooling circuit for an electric motor for a construction machine includes a circulation line that includes a shaft-side line disposed in a rotor shaft of the electric motor, a pump that supplies cooling fluid to the circulation line, a first filter disposed between the pump and the shaft-side line in the circulation line, a first bypass line that bypasses the first filter so as to connect an upstream side and a downstream side of the first filter, and a first relief valve disposed in the first bypass line.
