Drive device, especially for a vehicle, having an electric drive with a rotor shaft bearing system
A drive device having an electric drive. A drive device ( 1 ) includes at least one housing ( 15 ), at least one electric drive, the electric drive having a rotor arrangement with a rotor shaft ( 7 ) which is designed for rotation about a rotational axis ( 17 ), and a bearing arrangement ( 14 a, b ) for mounting the rotor arrangement. The bearing arrangement ( 14 a, b ) supports the rotor arrangement in relation to the rotational axis ( 17 ) radially inwardly, the bearing arrangement ( 14 a, b ) supporting the rotor shaft in relation to a support section ( 15, 16 ) that is fixed to the housing.
1. A drive device comprising:
at least one housing; and
at least one electric drive, the electric drive having a rotor system including a rotor shaft designed for rotation around a rotation axis, and having a bearing system for supporting the rotor system, the bearing system supporting the rotor system radially inwardly in relation to the rotation axis, the bearing system supporting the rotor shaft with respect to a support section fixed to the housing, the rotor shaft having a stepped design with a first radial inner surface having diameter larger that the bearing system to contact the bearing system, the rotor shaft having a radially inwardly projecting section with a second radial inner surface having a diameter smaller than the bearing system,
wherein the rotor shaft is designed as a hollow shaft having a hollow shaft chamber, at least one shaft being situated in the hollow shaft chamber, the shaft being rotatably fixedly but axially shiftably coupled with the rotor shaft.
2. The drive device as recited in claim 1 wherein the bearing system has at least one inner ring device and at least one outer ring device, the rotor system being coupled with the outer ring device and the support section being coupled with the inner ring device.
3. The drive device as recited in claim 2 wherein the housing is a motor housing, the inner ring devices being coupled with the motor housing or a motor plate of the motor housing.
4. The drive device as recited in claim 3 wherein the rotor shaft is situated entirely in the motor housing in an axial direction.
5. The drive device as recited in claim 2 wherein the inner and outer ring devices are arranged in a circumferential configuration.
6. The drive device as recited in claim 1 wherein the bearing system includes two bearing devices situated at a distance from each other and which each support the rotor shaft radially inwardly with respect to the support section fixed to the housing.
7. The drive device as recited in claim 6 wherein the two bearing devices are situated on the end of the rotor shaft in an axial direction.
8. The drive system as recited in claim 6 wherein the bearing devices are situated in such a way that the bearing devices overlap in axial projection.
9. The drive system as recited in claim 8 wherein the bearing device overlap completely with the rotor shaft.
10. The drive device as recited in claim 6 wherein the rotor shaft has multiple channel sections running in an axial direction, the channel sections designed for cooling the bearing devices.
11. The drive device as recited in claim 6 wherein the bearing devices are designed as rolling bearings.
12. The drive device as recited in claim 11 wherein the rolling bearings are ball bearings.
13. An electric axle or hybrid transmission comprising the drive device as recited in claim 1 .
14. The drive device as recited in claim 1 wherein the radially inwardly projecting section has cooling bore holes.
