Since the direction cover portion 633 faces each minus side outer peripheral fin 563 in the axial direction, the low-speed cooling air sucked into the cover 6 from the axial direction cover portion 633 is supplied to the gap between each minus side outer periphery fin 563. Can be easier. Further, even if the cooling air flows between the respective negative side outer peripheral fins 563, the cooling air speed is slow, so that the pressure loss of the cooling air can be reduced.
- each minus side outer periphery fin 563 can be made small, and the number of the minus side outer periphery fins 563 can be increased. Therefore, the cooling performance for each minus side rectifying element 57 can be further improved.

- the gaps between the plus-side inner peripheral fins 542 can easily flow, and the cooling performance for the plus-side rectifying elements 55 can be further improved.
- the minus side rectification unit 52 has a plurality of minus side inner peripheral fins 562 arranged in the radial direction inside the minus side heat sink body 561 and along the axial direction, Cooling air that has passed through the gaps between the plurality of plus-side inner peripheral fins 542 can flow through the gaps between the respective minus-side inner circumferential fins 562, and the cooling performance for each minus-side rectifying element 57 can be further improved.
- the temperature of the air sucked into the cover 6 from the radial cover 634 can be guided from the radially outer side of the rectifying device 5 to the radially inner side of the rectifying device 5 through the gaps between the plus-side rectifying unit 51, the minus-side rectifying unit 52 and the circuit board 53.
- the cooling air having a low temperature outside the rectifying device 5 can be merged with the cooling air having passed through the plus-side heat sink 54, and the temperature of the cooling air warmed by the plus-side heat sink 54 can be lowered. Can do.
- the temperature difference between the cooling air and the components existing downstream of the cooling air from the positive air rectifying unit 51, such as the negative air rectifying unit 52, the bearing mounting portion 18 of the rear bracket 17, the bearing 19, and the stator 8 is increased. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the cooling performance for the components existing downstream of the cooling air than the plus side rectification unit 51.
- Embodiment 2 the range in which the cover outer wall portion 62 is disposed is only the range between the axial cover portion 633 and the rear bracket 17 in the axial direction, but the axial cover portion 633 and the rear bracket 17 are arranged. A part of the cover outer wall portion 62 may protrude in a direction opposite to the generator body 2 from the range between the two.
- FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a state in which the rectifier 5 for a vehicle alternator 5 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention is covered with a cover 6.
- the cover outer wall portion 62 includes an outer wall main body portion 621 disposed between the axial cover portion 633 and the rear bracket 17 in the axial direction, and an outer wall on the cover end wall portion 61 side in the axial direction from the axial cover portion 633. And an outer wall extension 622 protruding from the main body 621.
- the outer wall main body 621 and the outer wall extension 622 are arranged along the axial direction.
- the position of the end portion in the axial direction of the outer wall extension portion 622 is closer to the axial cover portion 633 than the cover end wall portion 61 in the axial direction.
- Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.
- the cover outer wall 62 has the outer wall extension 622 that protrudes toward the cover end wall 61 in the axial direction with respect to the axial cover 633.
- the rectifying device 5 in the cover 6 can be protected from the radiant heat of the engine by the outer wall extension portion 622.
- the influence of the installation environment of the vehicle alternator 1 on the cooling performance of the vehicle alternator 1 can be reduced, and the improvement of the cooling performance of the components such as the rectifier 5 in the cover 6 can be stably improved. Can be planned.
- the resistance of the outer wall extension 622 with respect to the cooling air increases, and the amount of cooling air sucked into the cover 6 from the outer peripheral intake portion 632 decreases.
- the resistance of the inner peripheral intake section 613 with respect to the cooling air becomes relatively small, and the amount of cooling air sucked into the cover 6 from the inner peripheral intake section 613 increases.
- the ratio with the air volume of the cooling air can be adjusted.
- the dimension of the outer wall extension portion 622 is reduced so that the cooling air is positively passed through the outer peripheral side intake portion 632, and the minus side
- the size of the outer wall extension 622 can be increased so that cooling air can be actively passed through the inner peripheral intake portion 613, and the outer wall extension
- the balance between the temperature of the plus side rectifying element 55 and the temperature of the minus side rectifying element 57 can be controlled by adjusting the dimension of the portion 622.
- the present invention is applied to a vehicular AC generator.
- the present invention is applied not only to a vehicular AC generator but also to a normal AC generator or a generator motor that is not mounted on a vehicle. May be.
