Abstract:
1. A rotating electrical machine, comprising: a stator that comprises a stator core and a teeth section, with a stator coil wound at the teeth section; a rotor arranged via a clearance at an inner periphery side of the stator and supported in a freely rotating manner; a distribution unit supported by a resin holder, and comprising a conductor connected to the stator coil, wherein: the rotating electrical machine is cooled by coolant; the stator coil comprises a coil end section projecting from an end of the stator in an axial direction; a gap is formed between an end of the stator core and a lower surface of the distribution unit by mounting the distribution unit on an upper part of the coil end section, and the gap constitutes a path for the coolant; a bobbin, arranged between the teeth section and the stator core of the stator, that provides insulation between the teeth section and the stator coil and supports the stator coil; and a hole, provided in at least one of a flange section on an outer diameter side of the bobbin and a flange section on an inner diameter side of the bobbin, that enables the coolant to make contact with an outer periphery of the stator coil; wherein the bobbin is configured to prevent exposure of the stator coil to the stator core via the hole; wherein the hole is provided at both the flange section on the outer diameter side of the bobbin and the flange section on the inner diameter side of the bobbin; and wherein a groove, which has a bottom surface and is not a through hole, is provided at a position on a body of the bobbin facing an inner periphery side of the coil end section so as to enable the coolant to make contact with the inner periphery side of the coil end section of the stator coil.
