  • Publication number: 20240146153
    Abstract: An electric motor includes a shaft, a rotor, a stator, a first bracket, a second bracket, a bypass definer, a first guide, and a second guide. The bypass definer defines an internal air bypass located radially outward from the stator for internal air to flow through. The first guide transfers heat transferred from the internal air passing through inside a plurality of first partition walls connecting the internal air bypass and an internal space to external air and guides the external air to an external air passage. The second guide transfers heat transferred from the internal air passing through inside a second partition wall connecting the internal air bypass and an internal space to the external air and guides the external air outside.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11949317
    Abstract: A frame included in an electric motor has an inflow hole that allows outside air to flow in an interior of the electric motor and an outflow hole that allows the outside air having flowed in to flow out of the electric motor. The electric motor includes a first partition member forming a first ventilation path between the first partition member and the frame, and a second partition member forming a second ventilation path between the second partition member and the frame. In addition, the stator has a third ventilation path penetrating through the stator from one end to another end of the stator in a direction of a rotational axis and configured to communicate with the first ventilation path and the second ventilation path.

  • Publication number: 20220239184
    Abstract: A frame of an electric motor has inlet holes to allow ambient air to flow into an inside of the motor and outlet holes to allow the ambient air entering through the inlet holes to flow out to an outside of the motor. The motor includes a shaft, a rotor, a stator, a fan to rotate integrally with the shaft, and a guide. The guide is disposed outwardly of the fan in the radial direction and has a shape for suppressing foreign materials contained in the ambient air entering through the inlet holes from coming into contact with the stator and the rotor.

  • Patent number: 11003227
    Abstract: There is provided a heat sink in which the thermal resistance from a portion where the heat sink directly or indirectly makes contact with a heat-generating device to a portion where the heat sink makes contact with a coolant is set to be a value that is different from the thermal resistance at a different position in the flowing direction of the coolant, so that it is made possible to suppress the temperature difference between the upstream end and the downstream end of the heat-generating device.

  • Patent number: 10752263
    Abstract: A vehicular cooling device includes an opening, a discharge port, an air channel, and a fan. The opening is formed in a surface parallel to a travelling direction of a vehicle. The discharge port is formed in a surface of the housing and connected to the opening via the air channel. The fan is provided inside the air channel. First blockers are spaced apart in the travelling direction in the opening. Each first blocker extends in a direction perpendicular to both the travelling direction and an inflow direction of the outside air, and includes first and second members. The first member is a plate-like member having a main surface intersecting the travelling direction. The first member and the second member are symmetric with respect to a plane perpendicular to the travelling direction, and have a travelling-direction spacing therebetween that increases along the inflow direction of the outside air.
