Patent number: 12246588Abstract: An electric axle drive for a motor vehicle includes a first electric engine, which has a first rotor, a second electric engine, which has a second rotor, and a differential transmission with three shafts. The first rotor can be coupled with the input shaft such that torques originating from the first rotor are introduced into the differential transmission via the input shaft. A first switch element is configured to couple the second rotor with the first output shaft such that torques originating from the second rotor are introduced into the first output shaft. A second switch element is configured to couple the second rotor with the second output shaft such that torques originating from the second rotor are introduced into the second output shaft.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2022Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: MERCEDES-BENZ GROUP AGInventors: Philip Gansloser, Tobias Schilder, Tobias Haerter, Wolfgang Elser, Ernst Walth, Martin Dengler

Patent number: 11938824Abstract: A hybrid transmission for a vehicle includes a transmission input shaft extending in a transverse direction, at least one countershaft arranged parallel to the transmission input shaft, a clutch device arranged coaxially with respect to the transmission input shaft and which has at least one clutch, and a differential having a differential input gear. A rotational axis of the differential input gear is arranged parallel to the transmission input shaft. The transmission also includes an electric machine having a rotor with a rotor rotational axis arranged parallel to the transmission input shaft and a transmission control device. As viewed in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the transverse direction, the differential input gear, the transmission input shaft, and a transmission controller including the transmission control device are arranged in succession in the sequence specified.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: MERCEDES-BENZ GROUP AGInventors: Martin Dengler, Benjamin Bauer, Jan Becker, Markus Brandenburg, Andreas Ertel, Peter Hahn, Tobias Haerter, Elmar Mueller, Jörg Weigold, Timo Maurer, Preetam Birje
