Conveying device for conveying oil

A delivery device for delivering oil from an oil sump to a lubricating oil circuit of a combustion engine or a transmission of a motor vehicle, comprising:

• a mechanical direct drive;
• an activatable electric drive;
• an oil pump having a first pressure stage and a second pressure stage, the oil pump operable for being driven by either the mechanical direct drive or the activatable electric drive;
• a first outlet connection being part of the first pressure stage;
• a second outlet connection being part of the second pressure stage;
• a common suction section, the first pressure stage being in fluid communication with the common suction section, and the second pressure stage being in fluid communication with the common suction section, such that a portion of the oil flows from the common suction section, through the activatable electric drive to the second pressure stage;
• a common housing, and the first pressure stage, the second pressure stage, and the activatable electric drive are arranged in the common housing such that the activatable electric drive is located between the first pressure stage and the second pressure stage;
• the first pressure stage further comprising:
• two components that are movable relative to one another, and the activatable electric drive is connected to one of the two components that is movable relative to one another, and the direct drive is connected to the other of the two components that are movable relative to one another;
• wherein the second pressure stage and one of the two components of the first pressure stage that are movable relative to one another are connected continuously to the direct drive.
