1. A motor coil cooling structure, comprising:
a rotor core that is fixed to an outer circumference of a rotation shaft provided with an internal supply path through which coolant flows, and that includes a rotor-side flow path in communication with the internal supply path and passing through to a radial direction outer side of the rotor core;
a stator core that is disposed at the radial direction outer side of the rotor core so as to form a space between the stator core and the rotor core, and that includes a plurality of slots arrayed around a circumferential direction, each of the plurality of slots housing a coil;
a plurality of first flow paths that are formed in the stator core so as to include the slots and pass through the stator core in a radial direction;
a plurality of second flow paths that are formed in an upper portion of the stator core relative to the rotation shaft when an axial direction of the rotation shaft is disposed along a horizontal direction, the plurality of second flow paths being formed so as to include the slots and extend in a radial direction through the stator core, and passing through the stator core only at a radial direction outer circumferential side thereof; and
a supply section configured to supply coolant from above the stator core when the axial direction of the rotation shaft is disposed along the horizontal direction,
wherein
the second flow paths are formed on both sides of the respective first flow paths in the axial direction, and
the motor coil cooling structure further comprises one or more third flow paths formed within the stator core so as to place the second flow paths formed on respective sides of the corresponding first flow path in communication with each other.
