Abstract
A resin portion of a stator includes a filling portion that is formed between two adjacent tooth portions and positioned closer to a rotor than a coil. Each of the plurality of tooth portions includes a facing surface, which is an end surface facing the rotor, a first protrusion that protrudes in the rotation direction and includes the facing surface, and a second protrusion that is positioned closer to the rotor than the coil. This structure enables to more reliably partition a channel of coolant for cooling the stator and a housing chamber that houses the rotor.
Claims6
An electric motor comprising:
- a motor body including a rotor and a stator, the rotor being rotatable around an axis;
- a housing that houses the motor body;
- a stator cooling channel that is defined inside the housing and is configured to be filled with coolant, and in which the stator is disposed;
- and
- a rotor housing chamber that is defined in the housing, and in which the rotor is disposed,
- wherein
- the stator includes a stator core, a resin portion, and a coil,
- the stator core includes a plurality of tooth portions arranged in a rotation direction, electric wires of the coil being disposed in two adjacent tooth portions,
- the resin portion includes a filling portion that is formed between the two adjacent tooth portions and positioned closer to the rotor than the electric wires of the coil, and
- each of the plurality of tooth portions includes a facing surface, which is an end surface facing the rotor, each of the plurality of tooth portions includes a first protrusion and a second protrusion, the first protrusion protruding in the rotation direction and forming the facing surface, and the second protrusion being positioned closer to the rotor than the electric wires of the coil.
