  • Patent number: 11852201
    Abstract: A double clutch transmission (10) for an electric vehicle including an input shaft (40) coupled to a first output shaft (41) and coupled to a second output shaft (42) configured as a hollow shaft, a first component clutch (11), and a second component clutch (12). The second output shaft (42) includes a flange section (65) extending in the radial direction (r). The first component clutch (11) can be actuated by a first actuating unit (51) including a driver engaging through the flange section (65) in the axial direction (x) and is connected fixedly to the second output shaft (42) so as to rotate with it. The driver can be actuated in the axial direction (x) via a first release bearing, and the first component clutch (11) can be actuated in the axial direction (x) by the driver via a second release bearing.

  • Publication number: 20230235792
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drive unit (10) for a vehicle, comprising an electric machine (12) having a rotor shaft (14) and a transmission (16) having a transmission shaft (18). According to the invention, the rotor shaft (14) and the transmission shaft (18) are interlocking and coupled by means of an interlocking toothing (44), wherein a lubricant channel (46) is formed in the transmission shaft (18), which feeds into an inner space (48) of the rotor shaft (14) at the end facing the rotor shaft (14) in order to provide lubricant for the interlocking toothing (44), wherein the rotor shaft (14) has an end side (50) at the axial end facing the transmission shaft (18), on which end side one or more openings (52) are formed, extending from an inner circumference (54) of the rotor shaft (14) bordering the inner space (48) to the outer circumference (56) thereof, such that the lubricant channel (46) is fluidically connected to the openings (52) via the inner space (48) and the interlocking toothing (44).
