  • Patent number: 10965184
    Abstract: A rotary electric machine of the present invention includes: a stator; a rotor placed on an inner diameter side of the stator through an air gap and fixed to a rotating shaft; a stator frame supporting the stator; a casing storing the stator and the rotor; an outer fan fixed to the rotating shaft; a heat exchanger installed above the casing for heat exchange between outside air taken through the outer fan and internal air to remove heat; and an outer fan duct installed on an end portion of the casing in an axial direction, provided with the outer fan in an inside of the outer fan duct, and formed with a ventilation path through which the outside air is delivered to the heat exchanger. A plate-shaped member has at least a curved surface portion. The plate-shaped member forms the ventilation path of the outer fan duct.

  • Patent number: 10797565
    Abstract: A motor with an inner fan includes a rotor rotating with a shaft, a stator opposing the outer peripheral surface of the rotor, an end ring connected to the rotor, stator wiring connected to the stator, a fan rotating with the shaft through a sleeve, a fan guide opposing the tip end of the blade outer periphery of the fan, and a frame storing the rotor, the stator, the fan, the fan guide, the end ring, and the stator wiring. The rotor includes an axial duct penetrating the rotor in the axial direction of the rotor and a radial duct communicating with the axial duct and penetrating the rotor radially from the inside to the outside of the rotor. The fan is an inner fan arranged inside the frame, the inner fan is of a diagonal flow type, and the discharge direction of the inner fan is the inward direction.
