Wheel drive module with a wheel received in the wheel drive module
A wheel drive module ( 1 ) is provided that has a wheel ( 30 ) and a transmission, wherein the transmission comprises a first and a second drive gear ring ( 15, 25 ) which are arranged such that they can rotate about a common rotation axis (R). The wheel ( 30 ) can be steered and driven by a respective rotation of the first drive gear ring ( 15 ) and the second drive gear ring ( 25 ). A wheel-receiving space ( 20 ) extending along the axis of rotation (R) is defined between the first drive gear ring ( 15 ) and the second drive gear ring ( 25 ), in which the wheel ( 30 ) is arranged at least sectionally.
1. A wheel drive module ( 1 ) comprising a wheel ( 30 ) and a transmission, wherein
the transmission comprises a first and a second drive gear ring ( 15 , 25 ), which are arranged such that they can rotate about a common rotation axis (R),
the wheel ( 30 ) can be steered and driven by a respective rotation of the first drive gear ring ( 15 ) and the second drive gear ring ( 25 ), and
a wheel-receiving space ( 20 ) extending along the axis of rotation (R) is defined between the first drive gear ring ( 15 ) and the second drive gear ring ( 25 ), in which the wheel ( 30 ) is arranged at least sectionally, and
wherein the wheel drive module comprises
an output shaft ( 31 ) connected to the wheel ( 30 ), with a driven gearwheel ( 32 ), which can be rotated about a wheel axis (A) extending orthogonally to the rotation axis (R) and which can be driven by the first and the second drive gear rings ( 15 , 25 ), and
an intermediate shaft ( 34 ) which extends along an intermediate axis (Z) different from the wheel axis (A), a driving intermediate wheel ( 33 ) and a driven intermediate wheel ( 35 ), which are arranged along the intermediate axis (Z) of mutually opposite sides of the intermediate shaft ( 34 ) and are connected to the intermediate shaft ( 34 ), wherein the driving intermediate wheel ( 33 ) engages in the first and second drive gear rings ( 15 , 25 ), and the driven intermediate wheel ( 35 ) engages in the driven gearwheel ( 32 ) and can be driven via the intermediate axis ( 34 ) of the wheel ( 30 ) about the wheel axis (A).
2. The wheel drive module according to claim 1 , wherein
the wheel ( 30 ) can be steered by a first rotation of the first drive gear ring ( 15 ) and a second rotation of the second drive gear ring ( 25 ) about the rotation axis (R) of the first and second drive gear rings ( 15 , 25 ) and can be driven about the wheel axis (A) via a third rotation transmitted by the first and second rotations to the output shaft ( 31 ).
3. The wheel drive module according to claim 1 , wherein
the first drive gear ring ( 15 ) and/or the second drive gear ring ( 25 ) comprise/comprises an axially central ring opening ( 15 ′, 25 ′) which extends in each case along a rotation axis (R) of the first drive gear ring ( 15 ) and/or of the second drive gear ring ( 25 ) through the first drive gear ring ( 15 ) and/or the second drive gear ring ( 25 ) and increases the wheel-receiving space ( 20 ) along the rotation axis (R).
4. The wheel drive module according to claim 3 , wherein
the wheel ( 30 ) extends through the ring opening ( 15 ′) of the first drive gear ring ( 15 ) and/or the ring opening ( 25 ′) of the second drive gear ring ( 25 ) and along the rotation axis (R) beyond the first drive gear ring ( 15 ) and/or the second drive gear ring ( 25 ).
5. The wheel drive module according to claim 3 , wherein
the ring opening ( 15 ′) of the first drive gear ring ( 15 ) and/or the ring opening ( 25 ′) of the second drive gear ring ( 25 ) are/is formed concentrically to the rotation axis (R).
6. The wheel drive module according to claim 1 ,
further comprising a cover plate ( 16 ) which is arranged on the first drive gear ring ( 15 ) or the second drive gear ring ( 25 ) and
covers the respective ring opening ( 15 ′, 25 ′).
7. The wheel drive module according to claim 1 ,
further comprising a protective plate ( 26 ) which is arranged on the first drive gear ring ( 15 ) or the second drive gear ring ( 25 ), wherein
the protective plate is received so that it can rotate about the rotation axis (R) independently of the first drive gear ring ( 15 ) and the second drive gear ring ( 25 ) and can rotate with the wheel ( 30 ) and comprises a protective plate opening ( 26 ′) through which the wheel ( 30 ) extends.
8. The wheel drive module according to claim 1 , wherein the intermediate axis (Z) and the wheel axis (A) are offset or spaced apart from one another along the rotation axis (R).
9. The wheel drive module according to claim 8 , wherein the intermediate axis (Z) and the wheel axis (A) are parallel.
10. The wheel drive module according to claim 1 , wherein the wheel axis (A) extends outside of the wheel-receiving space ( 20 ).
