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: 12247649Abstract: An electric drive device for a vehicle axle includes first and second electric engines having first and second rotors, respectively. A transmission has a first and second input shafts arranged coaxially with the first and second rotors, respectively, and an output shaft arranged in parallel with the first and second input shafts. An axle drive has a differential gear permanently meshing with at least one drive gearwheel connected to the at least one output shaft in a manner fixed against rotation. A first switchable spur gear pairing and a second spur gear pairing respectively couple the first and second input shafts with the differential gear in a torque-transmitting manner. When viewed in an axial direction along the at least one output shaft, the first electric engine, the first spur gear pairing, the at least one drive gearwheel, the second spur gear pairing, and the second electric engine are arranged one after the other in the specified order.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2022Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: MERCEDES-BENZ GROUP AGInventors: Tobias Schilder, Philip Gansloser, Tobias Haerter
