Abstract

In order to achieve the above object, according to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a magnetoelectric generator including: a flywheel rotating around an axis of rotation; a plurality of magnets disposed on an inner peripheral surface of the flywheel and rotating together with the flywheel; a stator core disposed radially inside the magnets, the stator core being constituted by stacking a plurality of thin steel sheets and having: an annulus portion; and a plurality of teeth projecting radially outward from the annulus portion; and a generating coil configured by winding conducting wire onto the teeth, wherein: a coolant aperture through which a coolant passes is formed on the annulus portion so as to penetrate through the thin steel sheets in a direction of lamination.

Claims (29)

1. A magnetoelectric generator comprising:

a flywheel rotating around an axis of rotation;

a plurality of magnets disposed on an inner peripheral surface of said flywheel and rotating together with said flywheel, said flywheel having a throughole for passing a coolant;

a stator core disposed radially inside said magnets, said stator core being constituted by stacking a plurality of thin steel sheets and having:

an annulus portion; and

a plurality of teeth projecting radially outward from said annulus portion; and

a generating coil configured by winding conducting wire onto said teeth, wherein:

a coolant aperture through which only the coolant passes in one direction is formed on said annulus portion so as to penetrate through said thin steel sheets in a direction of lamination.

2. The magnetoelectric generator according to claim 1 , wherein:

said coolant aperture is formed so as to extend in a direction parallel to said axis of rotation.

3. A magnetoelectric generator comprising:

a flywheel rotating around an axis of rotation;

a plurality of magnets disposed on an inner peripheral surface of said flywheel and rotating together with said flywheel;

a stator core disposed radially inside said magnets, said stator core being constituted by stacking a plurality of thin steel sheets and having:

an annulus portion; and

a plurality of teeth projecting radially outward from said annulus portion; and

a generating coil configured by winding conducting wire onto said teeth, wherein:

a ventilating aperture through which only an air coolant passes in one direction is formed on said annulus portion so as to penetrate through said thin steel sheets in a direction of lamination wherein:

said ventilating aperture is formed so as to be inclined circumferentially.

4. A magnetoelectric generator comprising:

a flywheel rotating around an axis of rotation;

a plurality of magnets disposed on an inner peripheral surface of said flywheel and rotating together with said flywheel;

a stator core disposed radially inside said magnets, said stator core being constituted by a laminated core of a plurality of thin steel sheets, a first end plate and a second end plate stacked in close contact with first and second end surfaces of the laminated core, respectively, and having:

an annulus portion; and

a plurality of teeth projecting radially outward from said annulus portion; and

a generating coil configured by winding conducting wire onto said teeth, wherein:

a coolant aperture through which only a coolant passes in one direction is formed on said annulus portion so as to penetrate through said thin steel sheets in a direction of lamination, wherein:

said stator core is fixed to a bracket; and

a cavity is formed on a radially-inner side of said annulus portion within said laminated core near said bracket, the first end plate extending radially inward beside said cavity.
