Abstract

An electric rotating machine does not require management of the gap between a fan guide at a small-diameter portion and a fan fixing portion and can suppress the manufacturing and maintenance costs from increasing. An electric rotating machine is provided with a small-diameter portion fan guide that extends both in a circumferential direction and in an axial direction in such a way as to be provided a space in the radial-direction outer side of a small-diameter portion that is a portion of an extending axle portion, of a rotation axle, that extends in the axial direction from a rotor, the portion being at an axial-direction departing side than a fan fixing portion to which an axial-flow fan is fixed and in such a way that the small-diameter portion fan guide is disposed to be provided a space with the fan fixing portion in the axial direction.

Claims (24)

1. An electric rotating machine comprising:

a stator;

a rotor;

a rotation axle, of the rotor, that has an extending axle portion extending in an axial direction from the rotor;

a frame that supports the stator and the rotation axle;

an axial-flow fan that is fixed to the extending axle portion and blows air in the axial direction toward the stator and the rotor; and

a small-diameter portion fan guide that extends both in a circumferential direction and in the axial direction in such a way as to be provided in a space in a radial-direction outer side of a small-diameter portion that is a portion, of the extending axle portion, at a side departing from the rotor in the axial direction relative to a fan fixing portion to which the axial-flow fan is fixed and that has a diameter smaller than that of the fan fixing portion, the small-diameter portion fan guide being fixed to the frame,

wherein the small-diameter portion fan guide is disposed in such a way as to be provided with a space from the fan fixing portion in the axial direction and is divided in the circumferential direction.

2. The electric rotating machine according to claim 1 , further including an outer fan guide disposed in such a way as to be fixed to the frame and provided in a gap in the radial-direction outer side of the axial-flow fan, wherein each of divisions of the small-diameter portion fan guide is fixed to the outer fan guide by a radial-direction supporting portion that extends in the radial direction.

3. The electric rotating machine according to claim 2 , wherein respective radial positions of the divisions of the small-diameter portion fan guide can individually be changed.

4. The electric rotating machine according to claim 1 , wherein respective circumferential-direction portions of the small-diameter portion fan guide differ in shape from one another.

5. An electric rotating machine comprising:

a stator;

a rotor;

a rotation axle, of the rotor, that has an extending axle portion extending in an axial direction from the rotor;

a frame that supports the stator and the rotation axle;

an axial-flow fan that is fixed to the extending axle portion and blows air in the axial direction toward the stator and the rotor;

a small-diameter portion fan guide that extends both in the circumferential direction and in the axial direction in such a way as to be provided in a space in the radial-direction outer side of a small-diameter portion that is a portion, of the extending axle portion, at a side departing from the rotor in the axial direction relative to a fan fixing portion to which the axial-flow fan is fixed and that has a diameter smaller than that of the fan fixing portion, the small-diameter portion fan guide being fixed to the frame; and

an outer fan guide disposed in such a way as to be fixed to the frame and provided in a gap in the radial-direction outer side of the axial-flow fan, and

wherein the small-diameter portion fan guide is disposed in such a way as to be provided with a space from the fan fixing portion in the axial direction and is fixed to the outer fan guide by a radial-direction supporting portion that extends in the radial direction.

6. The electric rotating machine according to claim 5 ,

wherein the small-diameter portion fan guide is divided in the circumferential direction, and

wherein each of divisions of the small-diameter portion fan guide is fixed to the outer fan guide by a radial-direction supporting portion.

7. The electric rotating machine according to claim 5 , wherein the small-diameter portion fan guide is disposed in such a way as to be provided in a space in the axial direction of a portion, of the frame, that is disposed at a side departing from the rotor in the axial direction relative to the fan fixing portion.
