Abstract

A rotary machine capable of carrying out efficient cooling without increasing costs or deteriorating performance is provided. A motor 1 serving as the rotary machine has a rotor 20 configured to be rotatable around a rotary shaft 10, a stator 30 having a stator core 31 arranged around the rotor 20 and a coil 32 attached to the stator core 31 so that a coil end part 32a protrudes from each end of the stator core 31, mold members 33a and 33b formed at both ends of the stator core 31, to cover base parts of the coil end parts 32a, and partition parts 42b and 43b attached in contact with the mold members 33a and 33b, to separate a space S1 in which the rotor 20 is arranged from a space S2 in which the coil end parts 32a are arranged.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A rotary machine comprising:
a rotor rotatable around a center axis of a rotor shaft;
a stator having a stator core arranged around the rotor and a coil attached to the stator core so that a coil end part protrudes from each end of the stator core;
a mold member formed at each end of the stator core and configured to cover only around each of a base part of the coil end part;
a partition member attached in contact with the mold member and configured to separate a first space with the rotor arranged therein from a second space with the coil end part arranged therein, wherein:
the mold member formed at a first end of the stator core has an annular shape along the first end of the stator core,
the mold member formed at a second end of the stator core has an annular part formed along the second end of the stator core and a cylindrical protrusion protruding from the annular part and extending in a rotor shaft direction,
a housing which accommodates the rotor and the stator and forms an external shape of the rotary machine, the housing including a body member and a sidewall member,
the stator is fixed to an inner circumferential face of the body member,
a cylindrical partition part protrudes in an axial direction from an interior surface of the sidewall member, and
the cylindrical protrusion is in contact and surrounds the cylindrical partition part.

2. The rotary machine according to claim 1 , further comprising a mold member formed inside the stator core and configured to fill a gap in a slot formed in the stator core to accommodate the coil.

3. The rotary machine according to claim 2 , wherein
the mold member formed at each end of the stator core and the mold member formed inside the stator core are made of materials having different thermal conductivities, respectively.

4. The rotary machine according to claim 1 , further comprising a coolant supply port configured to supply a coolant from the outside to the coil end part arranged in the second space.

5. The rotary machine according to claim 4 , wherein
the coolant supply port is arranged at a plurality of locations in a rotation direction of the rotor above the coil end part.

6. The rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein
an end of the partition member is fitted to, attached to, brought in contact with, or engaged with the whole of an inner circumference of the mold member, thereby separating the first space from the second space.

7. The rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein
the rotor has a rotary body rotatable around the center axis of the rotor shaft and a sleeve member attached to an outer circumferential face of the rotary body,
a rotor core formed by laminating a plurality of magnetic steel sheets is attached to an outer circumferential face of the sleeve member, and
a recess serving as a coolant flow path for guiding a coolant is formed in at least one of the outer circumferential face of the rotary body and an inner circumferential face of the sleeve member.

8. The rotary machine according to claim 7 , wherein
the rotary body has a first rotary body that has a first flow path for axially guiding the coolant and a second rotary body that has a larger diameter than the first rotary body and contains an internal second flow path to connect the first flow path to the coolant flow path and the recess is formed in an outer circumferential face of the second rotary body.

9. The rotary machine according to claim 7 , wherein
the recess is formed in a same number as a number of permanent magnets arranged in the rotor.

10. The rotary machine according to claim 9 , wherein
positions of the rotary body and the sleeve member with respect to the rotor in a rotation direction of the rotor are set so that the recesses come closest to the permanent magnets, respectively.

11. The rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein a front end of the partition member is in contact with the mold member, and an outer diameter of the partition member k substantially equal to an inner diameter of the stator core.

12. The rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein an end of the partition member in contact with the mold member is tapered.

13. The rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein an axial length of the mold member formed at the second end of the stator core is less than an axial length of the mold member formed at the first end of the stator core.
