Abstract

Dynamo-electric machine (10) has cylindrical frame (11), cylindrical stator (12) fixed to an inside of the frame (11), cylindrical rotor (13) provided inside the stator (12) such that gap (G) is formed between the rotor (13) and the stator (12), rotation shaft (14) fixed to the rotor (13) so as to penetrate an inside of the rotor (13), and bracket (15) fixed to the frame (11) and rotatably supporting the rotation shaft (14). The stator (12) has duct (12a) radially formed at a middle portion in an axial direction of the stator (12) and communicating with the gap (G). The frame (11) has first supply opening (16) through which cooling air flow (1) is supplied in the frame (11) at axial direction both end sides of the frame (11), and second supply opening (17) through which cooling air flow (1) is supplied to the duct (12a) of stator (12).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A dynamo-electric machine comprising:
a cylindrical frame;
a cylindrical stator fixed to an inside of the frame;
a cylindrical rotor provided inside the stator such that a gap is formed between the rotor and the stator;
a rotation shaft fixed to the rotor so as to penetrate an inside of the rotor; and
a bracket fixed to the frame and rotatably supporting the rotation shaft,
wherein the stator has a duct radially formed at a middle portion in an axial direction of the stator and communicating with the gap,
the frame has a first supply opening through which cooling air flow is supplied in the frame at axial direction both end sides of the frame, an exhaust opening through which cooling air flow in the frame is exhausted to an outside of the frame and a second supply opening through which cooling air flow is supplied to the duct of the stator,
the dynamo-electric machine further comprises cooling-water pipes provided as a pair at one end side and the other end side of a middle in the axial direction of the frame,
wherein the cooling-water pipes has, at the middle in the axial direction of the frame, inlets through which cooling water is supplied to the cooling-water pipes and has, at the axial direction both end sides of the frame, outlets through which the cooling water is exhausted from the cooling-water pipes, and
the second supply opening is located between the inlets of the both cooling-water pipes.

2. The dynamo-electric machine as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
the frame is an aluminum metal-made frame having the cooling-water pipes between an outer peripheral surface and an inner peripheral surface of the frame by casting.
