Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is an AC generator for a vehicle, which is improved in heat-radiation performance and vibration resistance with a simple configuration. The AC generator for a vehicle includes a rectifier which is mounted to a rear bracket ( 2 ) and is electrically connected to a stator, for rectifying an alternating current generated in the stator into a direct current. The rear bracket ( 2 ) includes a bracket main body ( 30 ) having intake windows ( 32 ) and exhaust windows ( 34 ) partitioned by ribs ( 33 ), and a bearing housing portion ( 41 ) for housing a bearing therein, a mounting leg portion ( 31 ) extending radially outward from the bracket main body ( 30 ) so as to be mounted to a mounting target member, and an expanded portion ( 37 ) expanding radially from the mounting leg portion ( 31 ) toward a circumferential edge portion of the bracket main body ( 30 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An AC generator for a vehicle, comprising: a casing comprising a front bracket and a rear bracket; a shaft rotatably supported by the casing through an intermediation of a bearing; a rotor firmly fixed to the shaft; a stator firmly fixed to an inner wall surface of the casing so as to surround the rotor; and a rectifier mounted to the rear bracket and electrically connected to the stator, for rectifying an alternating current generated in the stator…
