  • Patent number: 11967879
    Abstract: A first bracket in an electric motor includes an inflow path through which outside air flows inside, and an outflow path through which the air having flowed in flows outside. A stator core included in the electric motor includes a first ventilation path that is coupled with the inflow path and a second ventilation path that is coupled with the outflow path. A second bracket includes a third ventilation path that forms a flow path from the first ventilation path to the second ventilation path positioned symmetrically to the first ventilation path with respect to a plane containing a rotation axis. The air having flowed into the inside of the electric motor through the inflow path passes, in order, through the first ventilation path, the third ventilation path, and the second ventilation path, and flows out to the outside of the electric motor through the outflow path.
