  • Patent number: 10876628
    Abstract: An electric drive assembly comprises a parking lock housing, a sleeve-shaped shaft journal supported in the parking lock housing so as to be rotatable around a rotational axis, wherein the shaft journal comprises a connecting profile for connection to the driveshaft of the electric drive assembly in a rotationally fixed way; a ratchet wheel connected to the shaft journal in a rotationally fixed way and received in a receiving space between the base portion and the cover portion; a locking element movably supported in the parking lock housing and that can be transferred into a locking position for blocking the ratchet wheel and into a releasing position for releasing the ratchet wheel; and a controllable actuator for actuating the locking element; wherein an inner diameter of the parking lock housing in the region of the ratchet wheel substantially corresponds to a greatest outer diameter of the ratchet wheel.

  • Patent number: 10753405
    Abstract: A clutch assembly for a driveline of a motor vehicle comprises a friction plate clutch having an inner plate carrier, to which inner plates are connected in a rotationally fixed and axially movable way, and having an outer plate carrier to which outer plates are connected in a rotationally fixed and axially movable way, and wherein the inner plates and the outer plates jointly form a plate package, wherein the inner plate carrier comprises at least one bore in an axial overlapping region with the plate package through which bore oil can flow to the plate package, a supporting plate against which the plate package is axially supported, an axially movable pressure plate for axially loading the plate package, an operating device for operating the friction plate clutch by axially moving the pressure plate, a flow controller for controlling an oil volume flow rate through the at least one bore of the inner plate carrier, wherein the flow controller comprises a setting member which is operable by the operating devi
