First Claim
Patent Images
1. A drive for track laying vehicles, comprising:
- an electric traction motor having a rotor;
a shiftable transmission having at least one variable speed mechanical gear stage connected to said rotor and having an output; and
at least one brake connected for acting directly on the output of the at least one variable speed mechanical gear stage for locking the output and thereby preventing rotation of the output during parking of the vehicle;
wherein at least one of said gear stage and said brake are arranged inside the rotor of the electric motor and the other of said gear stage and said brake are arranged laterally outside the electric motor so as to be arranged coaxially therewith and in substantially the same plane.

Abstract
An electromechanical drive for track-laying vehicles in which the two drive sides have no mechanical coupling and permits smaller overall lengths and overall diameters. As a result, the flexibility of the arrangement of the drive components compared is further increased. The drive includes an electric traction motor, at least one variable-speed mechanical gear unit, and at least one brake. At least one of these components is arranged inside the rotor of the electric motor, and the remaining components are arranged laterally at the electric motor in such a way as to lie coaxially in approximately one plane.

4. A drive for track laying vehicles comprising:
-
an electric traction motor having a rotor;
at least one brake;
a first epicyclic gear unit acting as a fixed stage;
a second epicyclic gear unit driven by said first epicyclic gear unit; and
a plurality of multiple-disc clutches operably connected to said second epicyclic gear and having an output shaft operably connected with said at least one brake;
wherein said electric traction motor comprises an external-rotor motor, and wherein one of said first and second epicyclic gears and one of said plurality of multiple-disc clutches are arranged one behind the other in an interior region of the external-rotor motor, and the other of said first and second epicyclic gears and another of said plurality of multiple-disc clutches are arranged to lie outside the external-rotor motor coaxially in a plane with said at least one brake in a radial direction from said external-rotor motor.
