Abstract

A drive unit (100) is provided with a first electric machine (110), a second electric machine (120), a first shaft (130) and an output shaft (140). A rotor (111) of the first electric machine (110) is rotationally fixed to the first shaft (130), and a rotor (121) of the second electric machine (120) is rotationally fixed to the output shaft (140). The drive unit (100) also includes a separating clutch (150) and a connection element (230) for the rotationally fixed connecting of an internal combustion engine, and a first gear ratio step (142) is arranged between the connection element (230) and the shafts (130, 140) with a gear ration i<1. The drive unit (100) has an electro-mechanical parking lock unit (1) with which a rotational movement of the output of the first gear ratio step (142) can be blocked.

First claim

a first electric machine including a rotor;
a second electric machine including a rotor;
a first shaft to which the rotor of the first electric machine is rotationally fixed;
an output shaft to which the rotor of the second electric machine is rotationally fixed;
a separating clutch, with which the rotor of the first electric machine is connectable to the output shaft for torque transmission;
a connection element configured for rotationally fixed connecting of an internal combustion engine;
a first gear ratio step is arranged with a gear ratio i<1 between the connection element and the shafts, which are rotationally fixed to the rotors of the electric machines; and
an electro-mechanical parking lock unit configured such that a rotary movement of an output of the first gear ratio step is blockable therewith, wherein the output shaft has a locking toothing for positive engagement of a locking element of the electro-mechanical parking lock unit.

2. The drive unit according to claim 1 , wherein the connection element comprises an internally toothed gearwheel, and the first shaft has an external toothing, wherein the internally toothed gearwheel and the external toothing mesh together for transmitting the rotary movement from the connection element to the first shaft.

3. The drive unit according to claim 1 , wherein the connection element is adapted to be part of an output element of the internal combustion engine to be connected, and comprises a damper unit.

4.
