Abstract

To obtain a rotary electric machine in which an insulation failure does not occur even when the output of the rotary electric machine is increased by improving the cooling performance at the rotor winding ends. The rotary electric machine includes a rotor winding wound around a rotor core with a gap, rotor winding ends formed by the rotor winding protruding to an end surface of the rotor core in an axial direction, spacers arranged between adjacent rotor winding ends, mountain-shaped winding support portions provided on both surfaces of the spacers and having an apex with an obtuse angle, meandering ventilation paths formed on both surfaces of the spacers by the mountain-shaped winding support portions and wave-shaped winding support portions formed in the meandering ventilation paths along the meandering ventilation paths.

Claims (21)

1. A rotary electric machine comprising:

a rotor winding wound around a rotor core with a gap;

rotor winding ends formed by the rotor winding protruding to an end surface of the rotor core in an axial direction;

spacers arranged between adjacent rotor winding ends;

mountain-shaped winding support portions provided on both surfaces of the spacers and having an apex with an obtuse angle;

meandering ventilation paths formed on both surfaces of the spacers by the mountain-shaped winding support portions; and

wave-shaped winding support portions formed in the meandering ventilation paths along the meandering ventilation paths.

2. The rotary electric machine according to claim 1 ,

the spacers are provided between adjacent rotor winding ends in an axial direction and a circumferential direction.

3. The rotary electric machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein a mountain height of the mountain-shaped winding support portions is ⅓ or more as well as ½ or less of the width of the spacers.

4. The rotary electric machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein the spacer includes an inflow port of a cooling gas, and

an end portion of the wave-shaped winding support portion protrudes to the vicinity of the center of the inflow port of the cooling gas.

5. A rotary electric machine comprising:

a rotor winding wound around a rotor core with a gap;

rotor winding ends formed by the rotor winding protruding to an end surface of the rotor core in an axial direction;

spacers arranged between adjacent rotor winding ends;

arc-shaped winding support portions provided on both surfaces of the spacers;

meandering ventilation paths formed on both surfaces of the spacers by the arc-shaped winding support portions; and

wave-shaped winding support portions formed in the meandering ventilation paths along the meandering ventilation paths and having a shape in which arc-shaped winding support portions are connected.
