  • Patent number: 12589648
    Abstract: A drive device for a motor vehicle has an electric engine formed as an axial flow engine, which has a stator and two rotors that can be rotated in relation to the stator. The stator is arranged between the rotors in the axial direction of the axial flow engine. A differential transmission is arranged at least partially radially inside the stator, the differential transmission having a first driven gear non-rotationally connected to a first driven shaft and a second driven gear non-rotationally connected to a second driven shaft. The rotors each have a rotor support, which are connected to one another in a form-fit manner and form a differential housing when seen at least in the axial direction of the electric engine.

  • Patent number: 12404920
    Abstract: A drive device for a car includes a first output shaft via which a first vehicle wheel of the car is drivable, a second output shaft arranged coaxially to the first output shaft via which a second vehicle wheel of the car is drivable, a differential transmission via which the output shafts are drivable, and three axial flux machines arranged coaxially to one another and coaxially to the output shafts. The three axial flux machines are a first axial flux machine via which the first output shaft is drivable by bypassing the differential transmission, a second axial flux machine via which the second output shaft is drivable by bypassing the differential transmission, and a third axial flux machine between the first axial flux machine and the second axial flux machine in the axial direction of the axial flux machines via which the output shafts are drivable via the differential transmission.

  • Patent number: 11746867
    Abstract: A drive device for driving wheels of a motor vehicle includes a housing, an electric machine with a stator and rotor, a first output shaft for driving a first wheel, and a second output shaft for driving a second wheel. Via a differential transmission, first and second planetary gearsets are drivable by the rotor. First and second differential shafts transfer drive power from the differential transmission to the first and second planetary gearsets. The first differential shaft is mounted rotatably on an input shaft via bearings and the rotor is connected non-rotationally to the input shaft. A stable and non-buckling bearing of the second differential shaft in relation to the rotor is carried out via further bearings arranged on the second differential shaft or in the first differential shaft. The further bearings are arranged spaced apart from one another at least at a distance of twice an average bearing diameter.
