Electric axle drive for an axle of a motor vehicle, in particular of an automobile, and a motor vehicle, in particular an automobile

Electric axle drive (10) for an axle (16) of a motor vehicle comprising two vehicle wheels (12, 14), having one or more electric machine (18) which has a stator (20) and a rotor (22), and having a planetary gear set (26) which has a ring gear (30), a planet carrier (32) and a sun gear (28) as a drive unit (34), via which drive torques which can be provided by the rotor (22) can be introduced into the planetary gear set (26) in order to drive the vehicle wheels (12, 14),

• wherein:
• a first output shaft (36), from which a first of the vehicle wheels (12, 14) can be driven, is connected in a torque-transmitting manner to the ring gear (30) as a first output (38) of the planetary gear set (26) associated with the first output shaft (36),
• a second output shaft (40), from which the second vehicle wheel (14) can be driven, is connected in a torque-transmitting manner to the planet carrier (32) as a second output (42) of the planetary gear set (26) associated with the second output shaft (40), from which the respective output torques resulting from the respective drive torques can be dissipated from the planetary gear set (26) for driving the vehicle wheels (12, 14), and
• one of the output shafts (36, 40) is connected in a torque-transmitting manner to the output (38, 42) of the planetary gear set (26) belonging to the one output shaft (36, 40) via an intermediate element (44), by means of which a reversal of the direction of rotation of the one output shaft (36, 40) can be effected relative to the output (38, 42) of the planetary gear set (26) belonging to the one output shaft (36, 40),
• characterized in that
• a second rotor (74) can be connected to the intermediate element (44) in a torque-transmitting manner by means of a switching element (S1), bypassing the drive unit (34) of the planetary gear set (26).
