Claim 0:
1. A combined power system that includes a rotary electric machine system and a gas turbine engine, the rotary electric machine system including a rotary electric machine and a rotary electric machine housing configured to rotatably support a rotating shaft of the rotary electric machine, the gas turbine engine including an output shaft and an engine housing, the output shaft being configured to support a turbine wheel and a compressor wheel, and to rotate integrally with the rotating shaft, the engine housing accommodating the turbine wheel and the compressor wheel, the combined power system comprising:
a first bearing;
a second bearing; and
an oil supply device configured to supply a lubricating oil to the first bearing and the second bearing,
the rotating shaft including a first end as one end thereof in a longitudinal direction, and a second end as another end thereof in the longitudinal direction, the second end being coupled to the output shaft,
the first bearing being interposed between the first end of the rotating shaft and the rotary electric machine housing, the second bearing being interposed between the second end of the rotating shaft and the rotary electric machine housing,
wherein an air bleed port is formed in a shroud case that surrounds the compressor wheel, and compressed air that has been compressed by the compressor wheel flows into the air bleed port,
an air bleed passage is formed in the engine housing, and communicates with the air bleed port,
an air relay passage is formed in the rotary electric machine housing, and communicates with the air bleed passage to divide the compressed air into first diverted air and second diverted air,
a first insertion hole and a second insertion hole are formed in the rotary electric machine housing, the first insertion hole accommodates the first bearing, and the second insertion hole accommodates the second bearing,
the first insertion hole includes a first distal end and a first proximal end, the first distal end is an end in a direction away from the output shaft, the first proximal end is an end in a direction close to the output shaft, the second insertion hole includes a second distal end and a second proximal end, the second distal end is an end in the direction away from the output shaft, and the second proximal end is an end in the direction close to the output shaft,
one flow path and another flow path are formed in the rotary electric machine housing, the first diverted air is supplied to at least one of the first proximal end, the second distal end, or the second proximal end, through the one flow path, and the second diverted air is supplied to at least one of the first proximal end, the second distal end, or the second proximal end to which the first diverted air is not supplied, through the another flow path,
via the one flow path and the another flow path, the compressed air is supplied to the second distal end and the second proximal end simultaneously,
the engine housing includes a plurality of leg members at an end thereof facing toward the rotary electric machine housing, and an air intake space is formed between the leg members,
the combined power system further comprises a rectifying member provided on the rotary electric machine housing and disposed in the air intake space, the rectifying member being gradually reduced in diameter from the rotary electric machine toward the gas turbine engine, and
the rectifying member includes a hollow interior part from which the second diverted air is sent to the second proximal end.
