A rotor includes: a rotor core having a rotor shaft hole into which a rotor shaft is tightened and a plurality of magnet insertion holes provided along a circumferential direction; and a plurality of magnetic pole portions constituted by magnets inserted into the magnet insertion holes. The rotor core includes a cooling portion having a plurality of refrigerant flow passage holes provided radially inward of the plurality of magnetic pole portions and arranged along a circumferential direction, the plurality of refrigerant flow passage holes are arranged on both circumferential end portion sides of each magnetic pole portion, the refrigerant flow passage hole includes an inner radial side apex portion protruding radially inward, and an outer peripheral wall of the refrigerant flow passage hole includes an outer radial side apex portion protruding radially outward.

Rotor

An electric rotary machine includes a rotor and a stator. The rotor includes a rotor shaft having a refrigerant flow path therein, a rotor core, a plurality of magnet pole portions, a first end plate and a second end plate. The stator includes a first coil end located radially outside the first end plate, and a second coil end located radially outside of the second end plate. The first end plate includes a first refrigerant discharge hole, a first groove portion communicating with the refrigerant flow path and communicating with the first refrigerant discharge hole, and a second groove portion communicating with the refrigerant flow path and the core through hole. The second end plate includes a second refrigerant discharge hole communicating with the refrigerant flow path via the core through hole and the second groove portion, without directly communicating with the refrigerant flow path.
