Abstract

A drive train ( 1 ) of a purely electrically all-wheel drivable motor vehicle, has a first axle ( 2 ), a second axle and two electric machines ( 10 ) arranged in the direction of travel ( 3 ) of the motor vehicle. The first axle ( 2 ) can be driven by the electric machines ( 10 ) via a transmission ( 11 ). The transmission ( 11 ) and the first axle ( 2 ) are connected to each other by at least one bevel gear toothing ( 20, 7; 20, 27 ), and the transmission ( 11 ) and a shaft for driving the second axle are connected to each other by at least a further toothing ( 22, 23; 22, 28 ). In this way, an all-wheel drive can be achieved with a simple construction by the use of such a drive train in a motor vehicle that is to be operated in a purely electrical manner.

Claims (12)

1. A drive train of a purely electrically all-wheel drivable motor vehicle, comprising a first axle and a second axle spaced apart along a direction of travel of the motor vehicle, and two electric machines arranged laterally of one another and each having a driven shaft aligned in the direction of travel of the motor vehicle, the two electric machines further being disposed so that the first axle is between the second axle and the electric machines, the first axle being drivable by the electric machines via a gearing, the gearing having a first shaft that is drivable by the two electric machines, a first spur gear and at least one bevel gear toothing being connected to the first shaft, the gearing and the first axle being connected to each other by the at least one bevel gear toothing, and the gearing and a second shaft for driving the second axle being connected to each other by the first spur gear on the first shaft meshing with a second spur gear on the second shaft.

2. The drive train of claim 1 , wherein the first axle is a rear axle of the motor vehicle.

3. The drive train of claim 2 , wherein the electric machines are arranged behind the rear axle.

4. The drive train of claim 1 , wherein the drive train is a drive train of a sports car.

5. The drive train of claim 1 , wherein the electric machines are connected to each other via a constant transmission ratio or a switching mechanism.

6. The drive train of claim 1 , wherein the bevel gear toothing has a pinion and a crown wheel, the pinion being connected to said gearing shaft and a differential of the first axle being drivable by the crown wheel.

7. The drive train of claim 1 , wherein the shaft for driving the second axle is a cardan shaft.

8. The drive train of claim 1 , wherein the two electric machines are synchronous machines or asynchronous machines, or the one electric machine is a synchronous machine and the other electric machine is an asynchronous machine.

9. The drive train of claim 1 , wherein the driven shafts of the two electric machines are parallel to one another and laterally spaced.

10. The drive train of claim 9 , wherein the driven shafts of the two electric machines are parallel to the first and second shafts.

11. The drive train of claim 9 , wherein rotational axes of the driven shafts of the two electric machines are on opposite sides of a rotational axis of the first shaft.

12. The drive train of claim 1 , wherein the driven shafts of the electric machines extend from the respective electric machine toward the second axle.
