Abstract
Abstract A motor cooling system in which the stator (1) of a motor is coated with a coating layer (11), and a cooling liquid is applied to the projecting portions (10) of stator coils and to the side portions of the rotor (2) to cool the motor. The motor cooling system is advantageously applicable to a spindle motor for a machine tool.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A motor cooling system comprising: a coating layer coating projecting portions of stator coils of a stator of the motor; a cooling liquid cooling said projecting portions of said stator coils and cooling opposite ends of a rotor of said motor; an oil jacket surrounding said stator of the motor, said oil jacket having inlet and outlet openings formed on opposite sides of the oil jacket; and flow passages extending from the inlet opening, extending past the coating layer coating the projecting portions of the stator coils, extending past outer surfaces of end rings of the rotor and extending to the outlet openings of the oil jacket, wherein the cooling liquid flows through the flow passages.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
A motor cooling system comprising: a coating layer coating projecting portions of stator coils of a stator of the motor; a cooling liquid cooling said projecting portions of said stator coils and cooling opposite ends of a rotor of said motor; an oil jacket surrounding said stator of the motor, said oil jacket having inlet and outlet openings formed on opposite sides of the oil jacket; and flow passages extending from the inlet opening, extending past the coating layer coating the projecting portions of the stator coils, extending past outer surfaces of end rings of the rotor and extending to the outlet openings of the oil jacket, wherein the cooling liquid flows through the flow passages.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A motor cooling system according to claim 1 wherein said oil jacket further comprises a helical groove provided on an outer circumference thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
65 words
A motor cooling system according to claim 2 further comprising an outer sleeve fitted on the outer circumference of the oil jacket, opposite ends of the helical groove connected respectively to an inlet opening and an outlet opening formed in the outer sleeve to define a second flow passage for the cooling liquid between the helical groove and an inner circumference of the outer sleeve.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
A motor cooling system according to claim 1 further comprising a coating layer coating outer surfaces of said end rings of said motor.
