Abstract
In a motor having a cylindrical stator fixed to a motor housing and inner and outer rotors concentrically arranged to the stator, a cooling structure of the motor includes cooling jackets formed in the stator. Coolant inlet and outlet ports are provided at an axial end of the rotor which end is opposite to an output end portion of the outer rotor. The coolant inlet and outlet ports are connected to the cooling jackets to supply and discharge coolant to and from the cooling jackets. A coolant return portion is provided at the other axial end of the rotor and connects each pair of the cooling jackets.
