Clutch unit

A drive unit for a vehicle, comprising:

• at least one motor unit;
• at least one drive wheel operatively connected to and drivable by the at least one motor unit;
• a differential gear with a housing unit driveable by the at least one drive wheel, wherein the at least one drive wheel and the housing unit are arranged around a common axis of rotation;
• and
• at least one clutch unit provided between the at least one drive wheel and the housing unit, wherein the at least one clutch unit comprises:
• a plurality of rings comprising at least one outer ring and at least one inner ring, wherein the at least one outer ring and the at least one inner ring are mounted rotatably relative to each other, and wherein the at least one outer ring is configured to be in operative engagement with a first component of a drive unit of a vehicle, and the at least one inner ring is configured to be in operative engagement with a second component of the drive unit of a vehicle;
• at least one first locking element;
• and
• at least one first displacement element, wherein the at least one first locking element is movably mounted on one of the at least one outer ring or the at least one inner ring and is movable by the at least one first displacement element to engage a corresponding recess of the other of the at least one outer ring or the at least one inner ring, wherein a rotationally fixed connection of the at least one outer ring or the at least one inner ring in at least a first direction of rotation is provided, and wherein the at least one first displacement element comprises:
• at least one first actuating element that moves, in an axial direction, the at least one first locking element and that is provided by a first actuating ring, of the plurality of rings, arranged between the at least one outer ring and the at least one inner ring.
