Patent number: 11165306Abstract: A rotating electrical machine includes: an oil reception part that has an opening opposed to an injection hole designed to inject ATF into the atmospheric pressure inside a housing; and an oil reservoir that communicates with the oil reception part via a communicating hole provided in a wall part and communicates with a rotor cooling oil channel of a shaft via a cooling oil lead-in hole provided in the wall part. Since ATF having flowed out of the oil reception part flows along an inner face of the wall part of a second housing by gravity and reaches a bearing, one ATF supply route can be used both for cooling a rotor and lubricating a bearing, whereby the ATF supply route can be simplified.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2016Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Manabu Yoshinori, Masaya Inoue, Yoshiaki Kitta

Patent number: 10103602Abstract: Provided is an electric motor capable of cooling a stator without being increased in size with a small number of components and even with simple work. The electric motor includes ring-shaped sealing members (34) having flexibility and being arranged on an inner diameter side of a stator coil (22) so as to surround inner diameter portions of coil ends. Cooling oil flowing from an upper part of a housing into the housing flows downward through coil end oil paths (37, 38) formed by the sealing members (34), coil end covers (32, 33), and the coil ends.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2016Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Yoshiaki Kitta, Manabu Yoshinori, Tadashi Murakami, Yukitaka Sakata, Katsunari Takagi, Koichi Ojima, Masaya Inoue

Patent number: 9847698Abstract: Provided is an electric motor having improved overall cooling efficiency by enabling a coolant to flow around a stator and around and through a rotor in parallel for the stator and the rotor to allow the stator and the rotor to be cooled in parallel. In the electric motor, after an automatic transmission fluid flowing into a first coolant inflow port (10) passes through a shaft internal flow path and rotor internal flow paths (27), the automatic transmission fluid passes through a coolant exhaust port (20) to flow out of a housing (18). After the automatic transmission fluid flowing into a second coolant inflow port (11) passes through a clearance (31) between the housing (18) and a stator (17) and around coil ends (29) of stator coils (16), the automatic transmission fluid passes through the coolant exhaust port (20) to flow out of the housing (18).Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2015Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Manabu Yoshinori, Masaki Horii
