Motor Vehicle Comprising a Coupling Mechanism and Coupling Mechanism for a Motor Vehicle

A motor vehicle, comprising:

• at least one electric drive machine for driving the motor vehicle;
• at least one coupling mechanism which is switchable at least between a coupling position, in which the electric drive machine is coupled in a torque-transmitting manner to a drive wheel of the motor vehicle, and a decoupling position, in which the electric drive machine is decoupled from the drive wheel, wherein
• the at least one coupling mechanism is configured for torque-transmitting coupling to precisely one side of a drive axle of the motor vehicle and comprises a positive-locking coupling for switching between the coupling position and the decoupling position.

A coupling mechanism for a motor vehicle having an electric drive machine for driving the motor vehicle, wherein

• the coupling mechanism is switchable at least between a coupling position, in which the electric drive machine is coupled in a torque-transmitting manner to a drive wheel of the motor vehicle, and a decoupling position, in which the electric drive machine is decoupled from the drive wheel, and
• the coupling mechanism is configured for torque-transmitting coupling to precisely one side of a drive axle of the motor vehicle and comprises a positive-locking coupling for switching between the coupling position and the decoupling position.

A method for operating a motor vehicle having an electric drive machine for driving the motor vehicle and a coupling mechanism switchable at least between a coupling position, in which the electric drive machine is coupled in a torque-transmitting manner to a drive wheel of the motor vehicle, and a decoupling position, in which the electric drive machine is decoupled from the drive wheel, wherein the coupling mechanism is configured for torque-transmitting coupling to precisely one side of a drive axle of the motor vehicle and comprises a positive-locking coupling for switching between the coupling position and the decoupling position, the method comprising:

• preventing, via a locking element of the positive-locking coupling, a switching from the decoupling position into the coupling position, whilst the electric drive machine compensates for a speed difference between a first gear and a second gear of the coupling mechanism;
• and
• releasing, via the locking element, a relative movement which brings about the switching from the decoupling position into the coupling position between a first coupling element and a second coupling element of the positive-locking coupling in an event of speed uniformity between the first gear and the second gear.
