Rotary electric motor

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A structure for use with a rotary electric motor of a sealed type, comprising: a first housing; a second housing having at least one air opening which leads to the outside air, said second housing being sealed from said first housing; a rotor shaft rotatably supported by said first housing, a projection of said rotor shaft located within said second housing; a rotor mounted on said rotor shaft and being sealed in said first housing; a stator fixed to said first housing and disposed around the outer circumference of said rotor, the space between the outer surface of said rotor and the inner surface of said stator being sealed from the outside air by said first housing; a plurality of air vents disposed within said stator, parallel to the longitudinal direction of said motor, and leading to the outside air and to the spaces within said second housing, wherein air flowing through said air vents does not flow into said first housing; and a means for forcibly moving air through passages formed by said plurality of air vents, the space within said second housing and the air opening thereof.
2.
A rotary electric motor as set forth in claim 1, wherein said forcibly moving air means comprises a cooling fan fixed to said second housing near said air opening.
3.
A rotary electric motor as set forth in claim 1, further comprising: a plurality of cooling members, fixed to the projection of said rotor shaft within said second housing, for cooling said rotor shaft; and a heat pipe disposed coaxially within said rotor shaft.
4.
A rotary electric motor as set forth in claim 1, wherein the sum of the distance between the outer edge of said stator and the outer edge of each air vent and the distance between the inner edge of said stator and the inner edge of each air vent is substantially the same as the minimum distance between the outer and inner edges of said stator.
5.
A rotary electric motor as set forth in claim 3, wherein said cooling members are discs.
6.
A rotary electric motor as set forth in claim 5, wherein each of said discs has a plurality of fins equidistantly disposed near the circumference thereof
