The present invention makes full use of the advantages of a resin molded stator while pursuing advantages related to performance, reliability, and workability. Provided is an axial gap-type rotary electric machine comprising: a stator in which a plurality of core units having a magnetic flux surface in the rotational axis direction are arranged annularly around the rotational axis; a rotor facing the magnetic flux surfaces of the stator in the axial direction; a housing comprising an inner cylinder space in which the stator is accommodated; and a molded resin that covers part or all of the stator and integrally connects the stator and the inner circumference of the inner cylinder space. The housing comprises an annular thick wall section that has a predetermined thickness toward the axial center side and that follows the inner circumference in part of the inner circumference of the inner cylinder space. The axial boundary of the molded resin and the inner circumference of the inner cylinder space is included within the area of a radial projection surface of the thick wall section.

Axial gap-type rotary electric machine and method for producing same

The purpose of the present invention is to ensure reliability and installation space reduction of crossover wires of an axial gap type rotary electric machine. An axial gap type rotary electric machine having: a stator which is constructed by annularly arranging multiple core units about an axis of rotation, each of the core units having at least a core, windings disposed around the outer periphery of the core, and crossover wires leading out from the windings; at least one rotor which faces an axial end surface of the cores with a gap therebetween; and a rotary shaft which rotates along with the rotor. The axial end surface side and the outer diameter side of the stator, is provided with multiple wiring support sections, each having an arc-shaped base part extending in a rotational direction along the annular shape of the outer diameter side of the stator, wherein the base part has a length extending over the outer diameter-side end surfaces of two or more adjoining core units and a predetermined axial width, and is equipped with multiple axial grooves for guiding the crossover wires in the rotational direction which are disposed on the opposite surface of the base from the rotary shaft. The rotary electric machine has a molding resin for integrally molding the wiring support sections with the stator.
