Patent ID: 6969336

Claim:
Transmission unit, comprising: a transmission input shaft (E) and a transmission output shaft (A), and a transmission basic unit ( 25 ) situated between transmission input shaft (E) and transmission output shaft (A), which is connected to an angular drive ( 4 ); the angular drive ( 4 ) including a bevel gear drive ( 3 ) with a first bevel gear ( 8 ) and a second bevel gear ( 9 ), where the second bevel gear ( 9 ) is solidly connected to the transmission output shaft, at least indirectly; a transmission housing ( 5 ) that includes at least a transmission base housing ( 6 ) that covers the transmission basic unit ( 25 ), and which is connected to a housing cover formed by a transmission housing component ( 7 ) which covers the angular drive ( 4 ) at least in part; the first bevel gear ( 8 ) of the angular drive ( 4 ) and a transmission element of the transmission basic unit ( 25 ), which constitutes the output ( 15 ) of the transmission basic unit ( 25 ), having a direct and solid connection without a separate connecting shaft and located in immediate proximity to each other; the transmission basic unit ( 25 ) not including any elements capable of generating axial forces to act against the housing cover; the solid connection consisting essentially of complementary driving elements, which may be brought to bear upon each other, on the transmission element functioning as the output ( 15 ) and the first bevel gear ( 8 ); the first bevel gear ( 8 ) of angular drive ( 4 ) supported within the transmission housing component ( 7 ); the transmission basic unit ( 25 ) including at least one epicyclic gear train ( 27 ) with at least one annulus ( 26 ), one sun gear ( 12 ) and pinion gears ( 13 ); the output ( 15 ) of transmission basic unit ( 25 ) consisting essentially of an element of the epicyclic gear train ( 27 ).
