Supercharger with electric motor and engine device provided with supercharger with electric motor

1. An electric supercharger, comprising:

a rotary shaft;

a compressor wheel fixed to an end part of the rotary shaft;

a compressor housing for housing the compressor wheel;

an electric motor comprising a motor rotor fixedly provided on the rotary shaft and a motor stator disposed around the motor rotor, and giving rotation force to the rotary shaft;

a motor housing for housing the electric motor;

a first grease-sealed bearing for rotatably supporting the rotary shaft;

a second grease-sealed bearing, disposed on an opposite side of the first grease-sealed bearing sandwiching the motor rotor, for rotatably supporting the rotary shaft; and

a bearing housing for housing the first grease-sealed bearing, and disposed between the compressor housing and the motor housing,

wherein inside the bearing housing, a cooling passage through which a cooling medium flows is provided in a circumferential direction on an outer circumferential side of the first grease-sealed bearing,

wherein the motor housing houses the electric motor together with the second grease-sealed bearing,

wherein inside the motor housing, a motor-side cooling passage through which a cooling medium flows is provided, the motor-side cooling passage extending in a circumferential direction on the outer peripheral side of the motor stator, the cooling medium comprising a liquid, and

wherein at least a part of the motor-side cooling passage overlaps at least a part of the motor stator axially along the rotary shaft and overlaps at least a part of the second grease-sealed bearing axially along the rotary shaft when viewed from a direction orthogonal to an axial direction of the rotary shaft.

2. The electric supercharger according to claim 1 ,

wherein the rotary shaft is configured to be rotated by an exhaust turbine in addition to the electric motor.

3. The electric supercharger according to claim 1 , wherein

the motor-side cooling passage and the cooling passage are connected to each other such that water can pass through the passages.

4. An engine device equipped with the electric supercharger according to claim 1 , the engine device comprising:

an engine; and

a turbocharger which is driven by exhaust gas discharged from the engine,

wherein intake air compressed by the turbocharger is configured to be supplied to the compressor wheel of the electric supercharger.

5. An engine device equipped with the electric supercharger according to claim 1 , the engine device comprising:

an engine; and

a turbocharger which is driven by exhaust gas discharged from the engine, wherein

intake air compressed by the turbocharger is configured to be supplied to the compressor wheel of the electric supercharger, and

the cooling medium flowing through the cooling passage consists of cooling water.

6. The engine device according to claim 5 , further comprising:

an intercooler for cooling the intake air supplied to the engine using cooling water,

wherein the cooling medium flowing through the cooling passage consists of the cooling water used in the intercooler.

7. An engine device equipped with the electric supercharger according to claim 1 , the engine device comprising:

an engine; and

an EGR device that re-circulates to an intake passage of the engine a part of exhaust gas discharged from the engine,

wherein intake air containing exhaust gas re-circulated by the EGR device is supplied to the compressor wheel of the electric supercharger.
