ROTOR OF ROTARY ELECTRIC MACHINE

摘要

A rotor of a rotary electric machine, which is supported by a rotating shaft, includes a rotor core, and a permanent magnet embedded in the rotor core. At least one in-core cooling medium passage that leads a cooling medium supplied from an in-shaft cooling medium passage formed inside the rotating shaft to an outer peripheral end of the rotor core, and discharges the supplied cooling medium into a gap between the rotor core and a stator, is formed in the rotor core. The at least one in-core cooling medium passage includes a center cooling medium passage, a pair of inner peripheral side cooling medium passages, and an outer peripheral side cooling medium passage that is communicated with the gap. A radially outside end portion of the center cooling medium passage has a slope that extends toward a radially outer side closer to a center in the axial direction.

1. A rotor of a rotary electric machine, which is supported by a rotating shaft, comprising:
a rotor core; and a permanent magnet embedded in the rotor core, wherein at least one in-core cooling medium passage that leads a cooling medium supplied from an in-shaft cooling medium passage formed inside the rotating shaft to an outer peripheral end of the rotor core, and discharges the supplied cooling medium into a gap between the rotor core and a stator, is formed in the rotor core; the at least one in-core cooling medium passage includes a center cooling medium passage that extends in an axial direction in a position farther toward an inner peripheral side than the permanent magnet, a pair of inner peripheral side cooling medium passages that are provided near both ends in the axial direction of the rotor core and that communicate the in-shaft cooling medium passage with the center cooling medium passage, and an outer peripheral side cooling medium passage that extends radially outward from a center in the axial direction of the center cooling medium passage and is communicated with the gap; and a radially outside end portion of the center cooling medium passage has a slope that extends toward a radially outer side closer to the center in the axial direction.
