Abstract

An assembly set for transmission devices for motor vehicles. Each of the transmission devices has an input shaft which can be operatively connected to a drive device of the motor vehicle, as well as a first output shaft, and a second output shaft, and has a spur gear differential transmission designed as a planetary transmission, via which the input shaft and an intermediate shaft that is coupled or can be coupled to an electric machine arranged coaxially to the input shaft are coupled to the first output shaft and the second output shaft. The electric machine is coupled to the input shaft in a first shift position of a shift device and to the intermediate shaft in a second shift position of the shift device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A modular transmission device for a motor vehicle, comprising
an input shaft which is operatively connectable to a drive device of the motor vehicle,
a hollow, rotatable intermediate shaft through which the input shaft passes,
a first and a second output shaft, which are each coupleable to a respective sub axle of a wheel axle of the motor vehicle,
a spur gear differential transmission, configured as a planetary transmission, which couples the input shaft and the intermediate shaft to the first and second output shafts, and
an electric machine which is coupleable to the input shaft and the intermediate shaft via a shift device,
wherein a modular transmission gearing comprising at least two planetary gearsets is interposed between the electric machine and the shift device and couples the electric machine to the shift device, and
wherein, in a first position of the shift device, the input shaft is coupled to the electric machine, and, in a second position of the shift device, the intermediate shaft is coupled to the electric machine.

2. The modular transmission device of claim 1 , wherein the electric machine is coaxial with the input shaft and the intermediate shaft.

3. The modular transmission device of claim 2 , wherein the input shaft and the intermediate shaft each pass through the electric machine.

4. The modular transmission device of claim 1 , wherein the at least two planetary gearsets each comprise a sun gear, a planetary gear carrier with planetary gears rotatably mounted thereon, and a ring gear.

5. The modular transmission device of claim 4 , wherein the planetary gear carrier of a first of the at least two planetary gearsets is rigidly coupled both to the sun gear of a second of the at least two planetary gearsets and to the shift device.

6. The modular transmission device of claim 4 , wherein the electric machine is rigidly coupled to the modular transmission gearing via the sun gear of a first of the at least two planetary gearsets.

7. The modular transmission device of claim 4 , wherein the ring gear of a first of the at least two planetary gear sets is rigidly coupled to the planetary gear carrier of a second of the at least two planetary gearsets.

8. The modular transmission device of claim 4 , wherein the ring gear of one or more of the at least two planetary gearsets is rigidly connected to a transmission housing.

9. The modular transmission device of claim 4 , wherein the ring gears of two of the at least two planetary gearsets are rigidly connected to a transmission housing.

10. The modular transmission device of claim 4 , wherein the sun gear of a second of the at least two planetary gearsets is rigidly coupled to the shift device and thereby directly coupleable to the input shaft or the intermediate shaft.

11. The modular transmission device of claim 4 , wherein the shift device comprises:
a first shifting shaft rigidly coupled to the input shaft;
a second shifting shaft rigidly coupled to the intermediate shaft;
a third shifting shaft rigidly coupled to the modular transmission gearing, and
a fourth shifting shaft rigidly coupled to the modular transmission gearing.

12. The modular transmission device of claim 11 , wherein the third shifting shaft is rigidly coupled to the ring gear of a first of the at least two planetary gearsets and to the planetary gear carrier of a second of the at least two planetary gearsets.

13. The modular transmission device of claim 11 , wherein the fourth shifting shaft is rigidly coupled to the planetary gear carrier of a first of the at least two planetary gearsets.

14. The modular transmission device of claim 1 , wherein the first output shaft is hollow and the second output shaft passes therethrough.
