The second spur gear section is preferably formed by a spur gear connected to the vehicle transmission input shaft in a rotationally fixed manner. Alternatively, however, the second spur gear section can also be formed by a spur gear contour formed correspondingly on the vehicle transmission input shaft. According to the invention, in order to form a second spur gear stage, the second spur gear section is in engagement with the second toothed section of the second clutch device, so that in a closed state of the second clutch device, a torque path runs from the vehicle transmission input shaft via the second spur gear stage to the vehicle transmission output shaft. In particular, the planetary stage and the two spur gear stages have different transmission ratios, so that a total of three different gear stages are formed. In particular, one of the two clutch devices is selectively closed, the other clutch device being open. Thus, one of the three gear stages can be selected depending on the two clutch devices and the two shift elements. Optionally, it can be provided that the vehicle transmission has a third spur gear stage for forming a further gear stage, which can be selected via a further shifting element.In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the vehicle transmission has a further transmission output for driving at least or exactly one further vehicle axle.

The following are shown: FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a drive arrangement for a tractor as an exemplary embodiment of the invention; FIGS. 2 a, b show a schematic illustration of a vehicle transmission of the drive arrangement from FIG. 1 in two different shift states; FIG. 3 shows, in the same illustration as FIGS. 2 a, b, the vehicle transmission in a further shifting state; FIG. 4 is a schematic illustration of the drive arrangement as an alternative embodiment of the invention; FIG. 5 shows a schematic illustration of the vehicle transmission of the drive arrangement from FIG. 2 in a switching state.FIG. 1 shows a highly schematic illustration of a drive arrangement 1 for a tractor, not illustrated, as an exemplary embodiment of the invention. For example, the tractor is designed as a tractor. The drive arrangement has a first and a second drive train 2, 3, wherein the first and the second drive train 2, 3 are separated from one another in drive terms.Current solutions for electrified drives are only conditionally suitable for different energy spread positions on the tractor, e.g. diesel engine or battery, and cannot be adopted without major adaptations. In addition, the installation space requirement of current approaches is significantly higher than in the case of the currently used tractor transmissions, with the result that integration of the electrified drive into existing tractor concepts is only possible with great difficulty. Associated with the high installation space requirement is a high complexity of the drive train with a plurality of planetary sets and shift elements. Approaches, for example, via single wheel drives require new vehicle concepts and are very expensive at the initial stage, since only a part of the drives will be electrified and the main part will remain conventional in the medium term.According to the invention, a drive arrangement 1 is proposed which enables different energy supplies, provides the standard interfaces of the current tractor transmissions and additionally reserves the necessary installation space for e.g. power electronics, without exceeding the current installation space limits of the standard transmissions. This drive arrangement 1 will be described below with reference to FIG. 1.The first drive train 2 serves for providing energy to various consumers of the tractor.

For example, the transmission gear G 1 is configured as a spur gear.The transmission transmission G 1 has a transmission transmission input shaft EW 1 for connecting the first electric machine EM 1 and a further transmission input shaft EW 2 for connecting the internal combustion engine VM, as well as a transmission output shaft AW 1 for forming the auxiliary output 4 and further transmission output shafts AW 2, AW 3 for forming the pump output 5. The transmission G 1 has a drive wheel AR 1 and a further drive wheel AR 2, wherein the two drive wheels AR 1, AR 2 are engaged with one another to form a transmission stage. In this case, the drive wheel AR 1 is connected via the transmission transmission transmission input shaft EW 1 to the first electric machine EM 1 and the further drive wheel AR 2 is connected via the further transmission transmission transmission input shaft EW 2 to the internal combustion engine VM in a rotationally fixed manner. In particular, the further transmission transmission transmission input shaft EW 2 and the transmission transmission transmission output shaft AW 1 form a common shaft, wherein the further drive wheel AR 2 is arranged on the shaft in a rotationally fixed manner. The further transmission transmission input shaft EW 2 and the transmission output shaft AW 1 are thus driven at the same rotational speed.In a generator mode of operation of the first electric machine EM 1, the latter is driven via the internal combustion engine VM, wherein a drive torque generated by the internal combustion engine VM is transmitted via the transmission transmission stage to the first electric machine EM 1. As a result, the first electric machine EM 1, which is designed as a generator, is driven and electric energy is generated, which is stored in an energy supply unit 6, for example an electric accumulator.Optionally, in a motor mode of the first electric machine EM 1, a further output torque can be generated by the first electric machine EM 1, wherein the first electric machine EM 1, which is designed as an electric motor, is supplied with electrical energy by the energy supply unit 6. The internal combustion engine VM and the first electric machine EM 1 can act jointly on the drive train EM 1, so that a parallel hybrid drive is implemented.The transmission gear G 1 has an output gear BR 1, which is in mesh with the further drive gear AR 2 via an intermediate gear ZR. The output wheel BR 1 is arranged on the further transmission transmission transmission output shafts AW 2 in a rotationally fixed manner and forms with the latter a pump output 5 for, for example, a main pump P 1, a lubricating and / or cooling pump P 2 and a steering pump P 3. Furthermore, the transmission gear G 1 has a further output gear BR 2, which is in mesh with the drive gear AR 1. The further output wheel BR 2 is arranged on the further transmission transmission output shaft AW 3 in a rotationally fixed manner and forms with the latter a pump output 5 for, for example, a constant transmission pump P 3.Furthermore, the first drive train 2 has a further transmission gear G 2 for transmitting the output torque acting on the transmission gear output shaft AW 1 to the auxiliary output 4. For example, the further transmission gear G 2 is designed as a PTO gear. The further transmission gear G 2 has a drive ring gear AH 1 and a further drive ring gear AH 2, wherein the transmission gear output shaft AW 1 is guided coaxially through the two drive ring gears AH 1, AH 2. The transmission transmission output shaft AW 1 can be coupled selectively via a first coupling element KE 1 to one of the two input ring gears AH 1, AH 2 in a rotationally fixed manner.The two driving ring gears AH 1, AH 2 are in engagement with a stepped intermediate gear SR 1 having different transmission ratios. Furthermore, the further transmission gear G 2 has a further intermediate stepped gear SR 2, wherein the stepped gear SR 1 is engaged with the further intermediate stepped gear SR 2 via exactly one step. In addition, the further transmission gear G 2 has an output annulus gear BH 1 and a further output annulus gear BH 2, wherein a secondary output shaft NW is guided coaxially through the two output annulus gears BH 1, BH 2 to form the secondary output 4. The two output ring gears BH 1, BH 2 are each in engagement with the further intermediate stepped gear SR 1 with different transmission ratios. The auxiliary output shaft NW can be coupled selectively via a second coupling element KE2 to one of the two input ring gears BH1, BH2 in a rotationally fixed manner, so that, depending on the coupling position of the first and the second coupling element KE1, KE2, the output torque can be transmitted from the transmission transmission transmission output shaft AW1 to the auxiliary output shaft NW in four different transmission stages.The second drive train 3 serves to drive the tractor. For this purpose, the second drive train 3 has a driven vehicle axle 7, preferably a rear axle, which is connected via a vehicle transmission G 3 in a driven manner to a second electric machine EM 2 including power electronics. The second electric machine EM 2 is designed as an electric motor, wherein the energy supply unit 6 provides electrical energy for the second electric machine EM 2.The vehicle transmission G 3 has a vehicle transmission input shaft EW, which is coupled in terms of drive technology to the second electric machine EM 2. For example, the vehicle transmission input shaft EW is designed as a motor shaft of the second electric machine EM 2. The vehicle transmission G 3 has a vehicle transmission output shaft AW, which forms a transmission output 8 for the vehicle axle 7 and a further transmission output 9 for a further vehicle axle, not shown.The vehicle transmission G 3 is designed as a dual clutch transmission, wherein the vehicle transmission G 3 has a first and a second clutch device K 1, K 2 for clutching the second electric machine EM 2 with at least the vehicle axle 7. The two clutch devices K 1, K 2 are each designed as a multiplate clutch, the first clutch device K 1 being assigned to the vehicle transmission input shaft EW and the second clutch device K 2 being assigned to the vehicle transmission output shaft AW. In this case, an outer disk carrier of the first clutch device K 1 is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the vehicle transmission input shaft EW and an outer disk carrier of the second clutch device K 2 is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the vehicle transmission output shaft AW.The vehicle transmission G 3 has a planetary transmission 10 which has a ring gear HR, a sun gear SR, a planetary carrier PT and a plurality of planetary gears PR rotatably mounted on the planetary carrier PT. The planetary gear 10 is arranged coaxially with the vehicle transmission output shaft AW, wherein the sun gear SR is formed as a stepped ring gear and the vehicle transmission output shaft AW is guided through the sun gear SR. The sun gear SR has a sun gear section SA and a first spur gear section SA 2, wherein the planetary gears PR are in engagement with the ring gear HR fixed to the housing on the one hand and with the sun gear section SA on the other hand to form a planetary stage. The inner plate carrier of the first clutch device K 1 has a first toothed section VA 1, which is in engagement with the first spur gear section SA 1 to form a first spur gear step. For example, the first toothing section VA 1 is formed by a spur toothing arranged on the inner plate carrier of the first clutch device K 1.The vehicle transmission G 3 has a first and a second shift element SE 1, SE 2, wherein the two shift elements SE 1, SE 2 are arranged on the vehicle transmission output shaft AW so as to be movable axially between a shift position and a release position and so as to be rotationally fixed in the direction of rotation. The first shifting element SE 1 serves for the rotationally fixed coupling of the planetary carrier PT with the vehicle transmission output shaft AW. The second shifting element SE 2 serves for the rotationally fixed coupling of the sun gear SR, in particular of the first spur gear section SA 1, to the vehicle transmission output shaft AW.The vehicle transmission input shaft EW has a second spur gear section SA 2 and an inner disk carrier of the second clutch device K 2 has a second toothed section VA 2, wherein the second spur gear section SA 2 and the second toothed section VA 2 are engaged with one another to form a second spur gear step. The vehicle transmission G 3 designed as a dual clutch transmission thus has two spur gear stages and one planetary stage with respectively different transmission ratios.The vehicle transmission output shaft AW is connected in terms of transmission technology at the location of the transmission output 8 to a differential transmission 11, in particular a rear axle differential, wherein the differential transmission 11 distributes the drive torque of the second electric machine EM 2 to two vehicle wheels 12 a, b, in particular rear wheels.The further vehicle axle can be coupled to the vehicle transmission output shaft AW via a further clutch device K 3, in particular for implementing an all-wheel drive. For this purpose, the further clutch device K 3 is designed as a further multiplate clutch. At the location of the further transmission output 9, the vehicle transmission output shaft AW has a further spur gear section SA 3, wherein a clutch half of the further clutch device K 3 has a further toothing section VA 3. The further spur gear section SA 3 and the further toothed section VA 3 are in engagement with one another to form a further spur gear step.FIGS. 2 a, band 3 each show a torque profile of the first drive train 3 for different shift states of the vehicle transmission G 3. Depending on the switching state of the two shift elements SE 1, SE 2 and of the two clutch devices K 1, K 2, a total of three different gear stages with different transmission ratios can be represented. Optionally, a third shifting element, not shown, and a third spur gear stage, not shown, can be supplemented for a fourth gear stage with a fourth transmission ratio.In FIG. 2 a, the vehicle transmission G 3 is shifted, for example, in a first gear stage. For this purpose, the first clutch device K 1 is closed and the second clutch device K 2 is open, wherein the first shift element SE 1 is arranged in the shift position and the second shift element SE 2 is arranged in the release position. In this case, the vehicle transmission input shaft EW is coupled to the planetary transmission 10 via the first clutch device K 1 and the sun gear SR, wherein the planetary carrier PT is connected to the vehicle transmission output shaft AW in a rotationally fixed manner via the first shift element SE 1. In an operating state of the second electric machine EM 2, a torque path M 1 thus runs from the vehicle transmission input shaft EW via the first clutch device K 1, the first spur gear stage and the planetary stage to the vehicle transmission output shaft AW, wherein the torque path M 1 divides into a first partial torque path TM 1 in the direction of the transmission output 8 and into a second partial torque path TM 2 in the direction of the further transmission output 9. The second partial torque path TM 2 extends via the further spur gear stage to the further clutch device K 3, wherein by closing the further clutch device K 3 the further vehicle axle for the all-wheel drive can be connected.In FIG. 2 b, the vehicle transmission G 3 is shifted, for example, in a second gear stage. For this purpose, the first clutch device K 1 is open and the second clutch device K 2 is closed, wherein the two shift elements SE 1, SE 2 are each arranged in the release position. In this case, the vehicle transmission output shaft AW is coupled to the second spur gear section SA 2 via the second clutch device K 2. In the operating state of the second electric machine EM 2, the torque path M 1 thus runs from the vehicle transmission input shaft EW via the second spur gear stage and the second clutch device K 2 to the vehicle transmission output shaft AW, wherein the torque path M 1 is subsequently divided into the first and the second partial torque paths TM 1, TM 2, as already described above.In FIG. 3, the vehicle transmission G 3 is shifted, for example, in a third gear stage. For this purpose, the first clutch device K 1 is closed and the second clutch device K 2 is open, wherein the first shift element SE 1 is arranged in the release position and the second shift element SE 2 is arranged in the shift position. In this case, the vehicle transmission input shaft EW is coupled to the sun gear SR via the first clutch device K 1, wherein the first stepped gear section SA 1 is connected to the vehicle transmission output shaft AW in a rotationally fixed manner via the second shift element SE 2. In the operating state of the second electric machine EM 2, the torque path M 1 thus runs from the vehicle transmission input shaft EW via the first clutch device K 1 and the first spur gear stage to the vehicle transmission output shaft AW, wherein the torque path M 1 is subsequently divided into the first and the second partial torque paths TM 1, TM 2, as already described above.FIG. 4 shows a highly schematic illustration of an alternative embodiment of the drive arrangement 1 as has already been described above in FIG. 1. The drive arrangement 1 differs from the embodiment described in FIG. 1 in that the first and the second drive train 2, 3 are connected to one another in a driven manner. For this purpose, the ring gear HR can be rotated about the vehicle transmission output shaft AW, wherein the transmission transmission output shaft AW 1 has a gear section ZA, which is in engagement with the ring gear HR. For example, the gearwheel section ZA is designed as a spur gear which is connected to the transmission transmission output shaft AW 1 in a rotationally fixed manner, and the ring gear HR has an external toothing on its outer circumference, via which the gearwheel section ZA meshes with the ring gear HR.In the first gear stage, the SE 1 is in the shift position, as illustrated in FIG. 5, wherein the torque path M 1, as already described in FIG. 2 a, runs via the planetary transmission 10 onto the vehicle transmission output shaft AW. In addition, a further torque path M 2 runs from the transmission transmission output shaft AW 1 via the gearwheel section ZA to the ring gear HR and thus into the planetary transmission 10; in this case, the planetary transmission 10 serves as a summing transmission, wherein the torques of the two torque paths M 1, M 2 are combined in the planetary transmission 10 and transmitted via the switching element SE 1 to the vehicle transmission output shaft AW or split into the two partial torque paths TM 1, TM 2. As a result, power branching takes place in the first gear stage, wherein a higher efficiency in the first gear stage can be achieved by combining the drive torques of the first and the second drive train 2, 3 or the powers of the internal combustion engine VM and / or of the first electric machine EM 1 and of the second electric machine EM 2.Reference numerals denote reference numerals1 Drive arrangement 2 First drive train 3 Second drive train 4 Auxiliary output 5 Pump output 6 Energy supply unit 7 Vehicle axle 8 Transmission output 9 Further transmission output 10 Planetary transmission 11 Differential transmission 12 a, b vehicle wheels AH 1 input annulus gear AH 2 further input annulus gear AW vehicle transmission output shaft AW 1 transmission transmission output shaft AW 2 further transmission transmission transmission output shaft AW 3 further transmission transmission transmission output shaft AR 1 drive wheel AR 2 further drive wheel BH 1 further output annulus gear BH 2 further output annulus gear BR 1 output wheel BR 2 further output wheel EM 1 first electric machine EM 2 second electric machine EW vehicle transmission input shaft EW 1 transmission transmission transmission input shaft EW 2 further transmission transmission transmission transmission input shaft G 1 transmission transmission G 2 further transmission transmission G 3 vehicle transmission HR annulus gear K 1 first clutch device K 2 second clutch device K 3 further clutch device KE 1 first Coupling element KE2 Second coupling element M1 Torque path M2 Further torque path NW Auxiliary output shaft P1 Main pump P2 Lubricating / cooling pump P3 Steering pump P4 Transmission pump PR Planetary gears PT Planetary carrier SA Sun gear section SA1 First spur gear section SA2 Second spur gear section SA3 Further spur gear section SR Sun gear SR1 Stepped ring gear SR2 Further stepped ring gear TM1 First partial torque path TM2 Second partial torque path VA1 First toothed section VA2 Second toothed section VA3 Further toothed section VM Internal combustion engine ZR Intermediate gear ZA Toothed section
