This coincides with the flow direction in the circumferential direction of the air discharged from the air. That is, it coincides with the rotation direction of the impeller 70.
- the gap CL extends from the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 21 toward the coil 42. Therefore, it is easier to guide the air passing through the gap CL toward the coil 42. Thereby, the cooling efficiency of the stator 40 can be improved more.
- the inclination of the first side end face 43b with respect to the radial direction is different from the inclination of the second side end face 43c with respect to the radial direction. Therefore, the circumferential width of the gap CL can be changed. Thereby, the shape of the gap CL can be made a shape that can more easily guide air to the coil 42.
- the inclination of the first side end face 43b with respect to the radial direction is larger than the inclination of the second side end face 43c with respect to the radial direction. Accordingly, the circumferential width of the outer opening 90 is wider than the circumferential width of the inner opening 91. Since the outer opening 90 on the inlet side of the gap CL is relatively large, more air can be sucked into the gap CL from the first through hole 26, and the width of the inner opening 91 on the outlet side is increased. By relatively narrowing the air, it is possible to circulate the air released from the gap CL toward the target position (coil 42) more accurately. Therefore, the stator core 41 and the coil 42 can be more efficiently cooled by the air flowing from the first through hole 26. In addition, the inclination with respect to the radial direction of the 1st side end surface 43b and the inclination with respect to the radial direction of the 2nd side end surface 43c may be the same.

- the upper surface of the inclined member 46 facing the gap CL is positioned on the lower side as it goes from the radially outer side to the radially inner side. Therefore, the air that has flowed into the gap CL via the first through hole 26 can be guided downward while being sent radially inward. Thereby, compared with the case where the inclined member 46 is not provided and the air flowing into the gap CL hits the upper surface of the arc portion 41d, the air loss can be reduced.
- the upper surface of the inclined member 46 is a curved surface whose inclination with respect to the axial direction becomes smaller from the radially outer side toward the radially inner side. Therefore, air can be smoothly guided by the upper surface of the inclined member 46. Therefore, air loss can be further reduced.
