20140000970 | DRIVE DEVICE FOR DRIVING A WHEEL FOR AN ELECTRICALLY POWERED VEHICLE | 01-02-2014 |
20140128194 | DRIVE UNIT MOUNTED CLOSE TO THE WHEEL FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - A drive unit close to the wheel of an electric vehicle having an electric machine with a drive shaft and transmission unit that has at least a first transmission component with an output shaft. The transmission unit interacts with the driveshaft for transferring torque. The drive shaft has, as bearings, two drive shaft bearings and the output shaft has at least one output shaft bearing. At least one of the drive shaft bearings and output shaft bearings is a fixed bearing, and at least an additional drive shaft bearing and the output shaft bearing are loose bearings. The drive and the output shaft bearings are radial bearings. A vehicle can have additional drive units close to the wheel, a vehicle axle can have at least a drive unit close to the wheel and an application of a drive unit close to the wheel. | 05-08-2014 |
20140138171 | AXLE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - A vehicle axle, in particular a torsion beam axle for an electric vehicle, with at least one trailing arm on which is arranged a drive unit located close to a wheel, and the drive unit comprises an electric machine and a transmission unit. The drive unit, close to the wheel, has at least one supply line and at least one damper such that the drive unit, close to the wheel, is formed at least partially as a trailing arm and the damper is connected, on at least one side, to the drive unit at least in a single-shear manner and can be connected, on at least the other side, to a body of the electric vehicle. The at least one vehicle axle is utilized on a motor vehicle. | 05-22-2014 |
20140144718 | DRIVE DEVICE FOR AN INDIVIDUAL WHEEL OF A MOTOR VEHICLE - A drive device located closely adjacent to the wheel for a single wheel of a motor vehicle. The drive device has an electric drive that has at least one driveshaft for the wheel. A gearing interacts with the at least one drive shaft for transmitting torque to drive the wheel and is connectable to the individual wheel. A locking mechanism is disposed to lock the wheel and is designed to block the gearing and/or the drive shaft. | 05-29-2014 |
20140166378 | DRIVE UNIT AND VEHICLE AXLE FOR AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A drive unit, for an electric vehicle, comprising an electric machine that can be arranged in the area of an end of a vehicle axle of the electric vehicle and also a transmission unit, which co-operates with the electric machine, for driving a wheel of the electric vehicle. The electric machine and the transmission unit can be arranged adjacent to the wheel. The electric machine is designed so that the electric machine can be arranged adjacent to a wheel at either of the two ends of the vehicle axle in the drive unit for driving the wheel concerned. The invention also concerns a vehicle axle incorporating the drive unit. | 06-19-2014 |
20140209266 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING A TRAILING ARM OF A TWIST BEAM AXLE IN WHICH A DRIVE UNIT OF AN ELECTRICAL DRIVE CLOSE TO THE WHEEL, COMPRISING AN ELECTRICAL ENGINE AND A TRANSMISSION, IS INTEGRATED - A method of producing a trailing arm of a torsion beam axle in which an integrated drive unit of a wheel-adjacent electric drive has an electric machine and a transmission. By using the method, the trailing arm is produced in the form of a casting with a box profile. The contours for producing the area that accommodates the transmission, the connection point to the vehicle body, the bore that receives the cross-member which connects the two trailing arms to one another, the U-profile of the trailing arm, the box profile and the area that accommodates the electric machine, are modeled by cores such that the contours for producing the connection point of the trailing arm to the vehicle body, the bore that receives the cross-member and the U-profile of the trailing arm are modeled by one core. | 07-31-2014 |
