  • Patent number: 11760188
    Abstract: A wheel drive module (1) is provided for driving and steering a wheel (30), comprising the wheel (30), a first drive motor (11), a second drive motor (21), and a transmission. The wheel (30) can be driven and steered simultaneously by the first drive motor (11) and the second drive motor (21) via the transmission, wherein a first motor shaft (12) for driving the transmission extends from the first drive motor (11) in a first motor shaft direction (12?), a second motor shaft (22) for driving the transmission extends from the second drive motor (21) in a second motor shaft direction (22?), the first motor shaft direction (12?) and the second motor shaft direction (22?) are opposite each other, and the first drive motor (11) and the second drive motor (21) extend parallel to the first and second motor shaft directions (12?, 22?) over a common overlap section (Ü).

  • Publication number: 20210162857
    Abstract: The invention relates to a wheel drive module (1) comprising a wheel (30) and a transmission, wherein the transmission comprises a first and a second drive gear ring (15, 25) which are arranged such that they can rotate about a common rotation axis (R), the wheel (30) can be steered and driven by a respective rotation of the first drive gear ring (15) and the second drive gear ring (25), and a wheel-receiving space (20) extending along the axis of rotation (R) is defined between the first drive gear ring (15) and the second drive gear ring (25), in which the wheel (30) is arranged at least sectionally.

  • Patent number: 8324997
    Abstract: A motor drive includes a device for safe fitting of the motor drive with a circuit breaker. In at least one embodiment, the device includes a first cover, whose position can be altered, for example by being guided in slotted links, in such a way that only the receiving opening provides a free space for receiving the handle, owing to the overlap by the first cover, and therefore it is only possible for the circuit breaker to be fitted on the motor drive when the handle is in the corresponding position.
