  • Patent number: 11994212
    Abstract: An automatic gearbox for a motor vehicle includes a lubricating or cooling device, a hydraulic pump having a first pump connection via which, in a forward operation of the hydraulic pump, the lubricating or cooling device can be supplied with a hydraulic fluid conveyed by the hydraulic pump during forward operation and thus flows through the first pump connection, and with a parking lock, which can be moved between an engaged state and a disengaged state and has a first operating space, into which the hydraulic fluid conveyed by the hydraulic pump during forward operation can be introduced so that the parking lock is hydraulically operable and an adjustment of the parking lock from one of the states into the other state can thereby be effected.

  • Publication number: 20230323942
    Abstract: A drive device for a motor vehicle includes an electric machine having a gearbox where the motor vehicle is drivable electrically via the gearbox by the electric machine. At least one gear of the gearbox is switchable by operating a switch element. A medium is flowable through a circuit that has a first branch through which the medium is flowable to cool and/or lubricate the electric machine and/or the gearbox and a second branch through which the medium is flowable to operate the switch element. A pump delivers the medium through the circuit. The medium is flowable through a third branch of the circuit to operate the parking lock.
