  • Patent number: 10784735
    Abstract: A rotor and a generator including the same are capable of reducing a pressure loss of a cooling fluid, of increasing a flow rate of a cooling fluid flowing to a rotor coil, and of having improved cooling performance. The rotor includes a rotor shaft; a rotor coil wound around the rotor shaft; a rotor coil protection ring surrounding the rotor coil at one end of the rotor shaft and being spaced apart from the rotor shaft to form a clearance space between the rotor coil protection ring and the rotor shaft; and a fan coupled to the rotor shaft opposite the rotor coil, interposing the rotor coil protection ring, to blow a cooling fluid toward the rotor coil, at least part of the blown cooling fluid flowing to the rotor coil being guided through the clearance space by surfaces of the rotor coil protection ring.

  • Patent number: 10587167
    Abstract: A rotor assembly includes: coil turns each of which has a plurality of conductors stacked in a multilayer structure and includes a linear part interposed between teeth of a rotor body and formed in a longitudinal direction with ducts through which cooling fluid moves, and a curved part extending from the linear part and disposed in an arc shape on an outer circumferential surface of a spindle; and a turn insulator interposed between the conductors, and insulating the conductors from each other. The curved part may include a wave-shaped cooling path, which is formed in a longitudinal direction in a planar surface thereof, communicates with the ducts, and guides the cooling fluid to the ducts. Furthermore, through holes each of which is shorter than the duct are formed in the turn insulator at a position corresponding to the duct.

  • Patent number: 10361601
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a rotor assembly, including a cylindrical housing coupled to an outer circumferential surface of a rotor body and configured to house a coil turn therein, a supporting unit disposed in the housing and configured to prevent the coil turn from being pushed in an axial direction of a rotor, and a vane ring coupled to one end of the housing and provided with blades guiding cooling fluid to the coil turn. The rotor assembly may include: coil turns each of which is formed by stacking conductors in a multilayer structure and includes a linear part interposed between teeth, and a curved part extending from the linear part and disposed on an outer surface of a spindle; first supporting blocks which are inserted into the curved part and disposed between the conductors; and a second supporting block which is disposed between the first supporting blocks.
