Dynamo-electric machine rotor
First Claim
1. A dynamo-electric machine rotor in which spaced core slots are formed in a cylindrical rotor core, rotor coils of stacked turns are fitted into the core slots to form multiple nested rings around a magnetic pole of the rotor, ends of the rotor coils are fixed by a retaining ring, and a spacer is arranged in each of circumferential gaps between the ends of the rotor coils,wherein each spacer includescontacting portions formed on at least one of two sides of the spacer, one of the contacting portions being formed at a radially inward position of the spacer and an other being formed at a radially outward position of the spacer, for forming coolant gas ventilating channels between the spacer, the rotor coils and the retaining ring,said coolant gas ventilating channels being radially separated into plurality, one being radially inward and an other being outward, and extending along a longitudinal direction of the spacer except for inlet portions of the coolant gas ventilating channels.

Abstract
It is an object of this invention to provide a dynamo-electric machine rotor which effectively and uniformly cools a rotor coil outside a rotor core by forming a ventilating groove in the rotor coil, tolerates large field current, and has high reliability. There is provided a dynamo-electric machine rotor in which spaced core slots are formed in a cylindrical rotor core 30, rotor coils 10 of stacked turns are fitted into the core slots to form multiple nested rings around a magnetic pole of the rotor, ends of the rotor coils are fixed by an retaining ring, and a spacer 20 is arranged in each of circumferential gaps between the ends of the rotor coils, wherein each spacer 20 has a length not more than the lengths of linear portions 12 at the ends of corresponding ones of the rotor coils 10, a cut-out 22 for ventilation of coolant gas is formed across at least one of two sides of the spacer, and the spacer is in contact with the rotor coils at the two sides of the spacer at a position located furthest inside in the radial direction of the rotor and an arbitrary position.
