Drive System for Individually Driving Two Drive Wheels of a Drive Wheel Pair

A drive system for individually driving each wheel of a drive wheel pair of a motor vehicle, the drive system comprising:

• two infinitely variable transmission drives (2, 6) each of which are respectively drivingly connected, via a drive arrangement, to one wheel of the drive wheel pair;
• each of the drive arrangements comprises two drive units arranged successively;
• and
• a first of the two drive units is a shiftable transmission (10) and a second drive unit of the two drive units is a bevel gear transmission (24, 26) having a fixed transmission ratio.

A drive system for individually driving each wheel of a drive wheel pair of a motor vehicle, the drive system comprising:

• a first infinitely variable transmission drive (2) communicates, via a first drive shaft, with a first one of a first shiftable transmission (10) and a first bevel gearset (24, 26), which communicates with a second one of the first shiftable transmission (10) and the first bevel gearset (24, 26), which in turn drives with a first wheel (4) of the drive wheel pair (4, 8), the first bevel gearset (24, 26) has a fixed transmission ratio and redirects drive by 90°, the first shiftable transmission (10) is a two stage planetary gearset and the first drive shaft is perpendicular to a rotational axis of the first wheel (4) of the drive wheel pair (4, 8);
• and
• a second infinitely variable transmission drive (6) communicates, via a second drive shaft, with a first one of a second shiftable transmission (40) and a second bevel gearset (42, 48), which communicates with a second one of the second shiftable transmission (40) and the second bevel gearset (42, 48), which in turn drives a second wheel (8) of the drive wheel pair (4, 8), the second bevel gearset (42, 48) has a fixed transmission ratio and redirects drive by 90°, the second shiftable transmission (40) is a two stage planetary gearset and the second drive shaft is perpendicular to a rotational axis of the second wheel (8) of the drive wheel pair (4, 8).
