Abstract

A rotary electric machine for a vehicle is obtained in which cooling performance between phases of a coil can be improved. The rotary electric machine for a vehicle includes: a stator that is placed opposite the outer periphery face of a rotor and has a plurality of split cores; coil ends formed protruded toward the edge face in the axis direction of the cores on each of which a coil is wound; a power distribution part placed on the radial outer periphery side of the cores; and a cover for protecting the power distribution part, wherein the inner periphery of the cover is located more inside than the outermost periphery of the coil ends in the radial direction and has inclined parts inclined toward the coil ends.

Claims (16)

1. A rotary electric machine for a vehicle comprising:

a stator that is placed opposite the outer periphery face of a rotor and has a plurality of split cores;

coil ends formed protruded toward the edge face in the axis direction of the cores on each of which a coil is wound;

a power distribution part placed on the radial outer periphery side of the cores; and

a cover for protecting the power distribution part,

wherein the inner periphery of the cover is located more inside than the outermost periphery of the coil ends in the radial direction and has inclined parts inclined toward the coil ends.

2. The rotary electric machine for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the inclined part is provided at a position corresponding to between the adjacent cores.

3. The rotary electric machine for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein a concave portion is provided on the inner periphery of the cover at a position corresponding to near the top of the coil end.

4. The rotary electric machine for a vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a slot provided surrounded by the adjacent cores; and

insulating papers inserted into the slot to cover the side face of the coils and curved toward the outer periphery of the slot,

wherein, between the adjacent cores, an opening is provided that is divided by the outermost periphery of the slot, the outer shape portion of the coils and the insulating papers.

5. The rotary electric machine for a vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein the opening comprises:

a first opening surrounded by the outer shape portion of the coils and the insulating papers; and

a second opening surrounded by the outermost periphery of the slot and the insulating papers.

6. The rotary electric machine for a vehicle according to claim 5 , wherein the second, opening gradually expands toward the outer periphery in the slot.
