Transmission housing for a transmission, transmission for an electric vehicle and method for producing a transmission

1. A transmission housing for a transmission with a flexible drive having a housing section comprising a first boundary wall and a second boundary wall, opposite of the first boundary wall in an axial direction, wherein the first boundary wall and the second boundary wall define an accommodation space for a wheel of the flexible drive, and wherein the housing section further comprises at least one curved wall surface, wherein the wall surface is constructed and arranged to change in a radial direction, thereby offsetting and/or enlarging the accommodation space.

2. The transmission housing as claimed in claim 1 , in which the housing section has a first wall with a curved first wall surface facing the accommodation space and a second wall, which is spaced apart in a radially outward direction from the first wall and has a curved second wall surface facing the accommodation space.

3. The transmission housing as claimed in claim 1 , in which at least one of the wall surfaces is curved in the form of an arc.

4. The transmission housing as claimed in claim 1 , in which at least one of the wall surfaces has a wraparound angle of at least 90° in relation to the accommodation space.

5. A transmission for an electric vehicle having a single-, two-, three- or multi-speed planetary transmission section, which has an input side operatively attached to and driven by at least one electric motor and an output side, which is in rotary driving connection with a wheel of a flexible drive via a flexible drive means of the flexible drive; the flexible drive having a housing section comprising a first boundary wall and a second boundary wall, opposite of the first boundary wall in an axial direction; wherein the first boundary wall and the second boundary wall define an accommodation space for a wheel of the flexible drive, and wherein the housing section further comprises at least one curved wall surface, wherein the wall surface is constructed and arranged to change in a radial direction, thereby offsetting and/or enlarging the accommodation space.

6. The transmission as claimed in claim 5 , in which the input side of the transmission section is formed by a sun wheel or annulus of the planetary transmission and/or the output side of the transmission section is formed by a planet carrier of the planetary transmission.

7. The transmission as claimed in claim 5 , in which at least one selectively actuable clutch and/or brake is provided for shifting the transmission section, wherein two or more selectively actuable clutches and/or brakes are provided for shifting the transmission section.

8. The transmission as claimed in claim 5 , in which the input side is assigned two electric motors, wherein the two electric motors at least one of operate in a low voltage range or are low-voltage motors.

9. The transmission as claimed in claim 5 , which furthermore has a differential, the input side of which is preferably formed by the wheel.

10. A method for producing transmissions, comprising the following method steps:

producing a quantity of transmission housings

and

producing first transmissions from a first partial quantity of the transmission housings by arranging the wheel of a flexible drive within the accommodation space and/or producing second transmissions from a second partial quantity of the transmission housings by removing or offsetting the first wall.

11. A transmission housing for a transmission with a flexible drive having a housing section with at least one curved wall surface facing an accommodation space for a wheel of the flexible drive, wherein the wall surface is constructed and arranged to change in a radial direction, thereby offsetting and/or enlarging the accommodation space;

wherein the housing section has a first wall with a curved first wall surface facing the accommodation space and a second wall, which is spaced apart in a radially outward direction from the first wall and has a curved second wall surface facing the accommodation space; and

wherein the housing section furthermore has a third wall, which is spaced apart in a radially outward direction from the second wall and has a curved third wall surface facing the accommodation space, wherein the first and second walls are removable, thereby offsetting and/or enlarging the accommodation space.

12. The transmission housing as claimed in claim 11 , in which the housing section is designed as a casting or a diecasting, wherein the first wall and the second wall are designed as a projecting rib.

13. The transmission housing as claimed in claim 11 , in which the housing section has at least one boundary wall delimiting the accommodation space in an axial direction, wherein the first wall and the second and/or third wall are at least of a partially integral design with the boundary wall, wherein at least one depression is provided in that side of the boundary wall which faces away from the accommodation space in the region of the first wall and also in the region of the second and/or third wall.
