Abstract

This rotating electric machine includes: a rotor having a shaft; a stator formed around the rotor; a seal ring formed around the shaft and having a plurality of through holes; a gland seal formed so as to surround the seal ring and having an oil feed port; and a partition plate formed between the seal ring and the gland seal, wherein the partition plate is formed at a position opposed to the oil feed port and is fixed to an upper wall and a lower wall in an axial direction of the gland seal, and the partition plate has a reinforcing plate at such a position as not to obstruct the oil feed port, the reinforcing plate being fixed to a side wall of the partition plate on a gland seal side and being in close contact with a circumferential wall of the gland seal.

Claims (54)

1. A rotating electric machine comprising:

a rotor having a shaft;

a stator formed around the rotor;

a seal ring formed around the shaft and having a plurality of through holes;

a gland seal formed so as to surround the seal ring and having an oil feed port;

a partition plate formed between the seal ring and the gland seal; and

a housing which houses the rotor and the stator and to which the gland seal is fixed, wherein

the partition plate is formed at a position opposed to the oil feed port and is fixed to at least one of an upper wall and a lower wall in an axial direction of the gland seal, and

the partition plate has a reinforcing plate at such a position as not to obstruct the oil feed port, the reinforcing plate being fixed to a side wall of the partition plate on a gland seal side and being in close contact with a circumferential wall of the gland seal.

2. The rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the reinforcing plate comprises reinforcing plates formed at a plurality of different locations in the axial direction of the partition plate.

3. The rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the partition plate is formed so as to surround an entire circumference of the seal ring, and

the reinforcing plate is formed so as to surround an entire circumference of the partition plate.

4. The rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the reinforcing plate comprises reinforcing plates formed at a plurality of different locations in a circumferential direction of the partition plate.

5. The rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the partition plate has an adjustment hole penetrating in a radial direction, at a position other than a position opposed to the oil feed port, and

the reinforcing plate is formed at such a position as not to obstruct the adjustment hole.

6. The rotating electric machine according to claim 2 , wherein

the partition plate has an adjustment hole penetrating in a radial direction, at a position other than a position opposed to the oil feed port, and

formation positions of the reinforcing plates in the axial direction are on outer sides with respect to a formation position of the adjustment hole in the axial direction.

7. The rotating electric machine according to claim 5 , wherein

the adjustment hole of the partition plate comprises adjustment holes formed at a plurality of locations in a circumferential direction of the partition plate.

8. The rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the partition plate is formed so as to be divided in a circumferential direction.

9. A method for manufacturing the rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , the method comprising:

placing the partition plate at a position opposed to the oil feed port, and bringing the reinforcing plate into contact with the circumferential wall of the gland seal, and in this state, welding and fixing the partition plate to the upper wall or the lower wall of the gland seal.

10. The rotating electric machine according to claim 2 , wherein

the partition plate is formed so as to surround an entire circumference of the seal ring, and

the reinforcing plate is formed so as to surround an entire circumference of the partition plate.

11. The rotating electric machine according to claim 2 , wherein

the reinforcing plate comprises reinforcing plates formed at a plurality of different locations in a circumferential direction of the partition plate.

12. The rotating electric machine according to claim 2 , wherein

the partition plate has an adjustment hole penetrating in a radial direction, at a position other than a position opposed to the oil feed port, and

the reinforcing plate is formed at such a position as not to obstruct the adjustment hole.

13. The rotating electric machine according to claim 3 , wherein

the partition plate has an adjustment hole penetrating in a radial direction, at a position other than a position opposed to the oil feed port, and

the reinforcing plate is formed at such a position as not to obstruct the adjustment hole.

14. The rotating electric machine according to claim 4 , wherein

the partition plate has an adjustment hole penetrating in a radial direction, at a position other than a position opposed to the oil feed port, and

the reinforcing plate is formed at such a position as not to obstruct the adjustment hole.

15. The rotating electric machine according to claim 6 , wherein

the adjustment hole of the partition plate comprises adjustment holes formed at a plurality of locations in a circumferential direction of the partition plate.

16. The rotating electric machine according to claim 12 , wherein

the adjustment hole of the partition plate comprises adjustment holes formed at a plurality of locations in a circumferential direction of the partition plate.

17. The rotating electric machine according to claim 13 , wherein

the adjustment hole of the partition plate comprises adjustment holes formed at a plurality of locations in a circumferential direction of the partition plate.

18. The rotating electric machine according to claim 14 , wherein

the adjustment hole of the partition plate comprises adjustment holes formed at a plurality of locations in a circumferential direction of the partition plate.

19. The rotating electric machine according to claim 2 , wherein

the partition plate is formed so as to be divided in a circumferential direction.

20. The rotating electric machine according to claim 3 , wherein

the partition plate is formed so as to be divided in a circumferential direction.
