Electric drive assembly

An electric drive assembly for driving a motor vehicle, comprising:

• a housing,
• an electric machine with a motor shaft formed as a hollow shaft, which is rotatably drivable by the electric machine about an axis of rotation;
• a planetary gearing with a sun gear, a ring gear, a plurality of planet gears and a planet carrier, on which the planet gears are rotatably arranged, wherein the sun gear is rotatably drivable by the hollow shaft about the axis of rotation, and the ring gear is connected to the housing in a rotationally fixed manner,
• a differential unit with a differential, a disc clutch for adjusting a locking effect of the differential and a controllable ball ramp mechanism for operating the disc clutch,
• wherein a differential carrier of the differential and the planet carrier form a unitary carrier element which is rotatably mounted in the housing about the axis of rotation,
• wherein a first side gear of the differential is connected to a first intermediate shaft extending through the hollow shaft of the electric machine, and a second side gear of the differential has inner splines for inserting a second intermediate shaft and a disc carrier portion for on which a disc pack of the disc clutch is arranged, wherein the inner splines and the disc carrier portion have at least partial axial overlap,
• wherein the ball ramp mechanism is arranged outside the differential carrier coaxially around a sleeve portion of the differential carrier and has an axially supported support ring and an axially movable setting ring,
• wherein the differential carrier has a side wall portion with a plurality of through openings distributed over the circumference, through which force transmission elements extend axially to transmit an axial movement of the setting ring to a pressure plate for loading the disc pack.
