Abstract

A clutch device includes a first input side and a second input side, a first output side and a second output side, a first clutch arranged between the first input side and the first output side, a second clutch arranged between the first input side and the second output side, and a third clutch arranged between the first input side and the second input side. The first input side is couplable to a first drive motor and the second input side is couplable to a second drive motor, the input sides and the output sides are rotatable about a common axis of rotation, and the third clutch is arranged offset from the first clutch or the second clutch. In an example embodiment, the third clutch is arranged radially offset with respect to the first clutch or the second clutch.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A clutch device comprising:
 a first input side and a second input side;   a first output side and a second output side;   a first clutch arranged between the first input side and the first output side,   a second clutch arranged between the first input side and the second output side; and   a third clutch arranged between the first input side and the second input side, wherein:
 the first input side is couplable to a first drive motor and the second input side is couplable to a second drive motor; 
 the input sides and the output sides are rotatable about a common axis of rotation; and 
 the third clutch is arranged offset from the first clutch or the second clutch. 
   
     
     
         2 . The clutch device of  claim 1  wherein:
 the first clutch and the second clutch are arranged at least partially radially overlapping; and
 the third clutch is arranged axially adjacent to the first clutch on a side facing away from the second clutch; or 
 the third clutch is arranged axially adjacent to the second clutch on a side facing away from the first clutch. 
 
 
     
     
         3 . The clutch device of  claim 2 , wherein the third clutch is arranged radially offset with respect to the first clutch or the second clutch. 
     
     
         4 . The clutch device of  claim 1 , wherein the third clutch is arranged radially offset with respect to the first clutch or the second clutch. 
     
     
         5 . The clutch device of  claim 1  wherein:
 the first clutch and the second clutch are arranged at least partially radially overlapping; and
 the third clutch is arranged radially inside of the first clutch, and the first clutch and the third clutch are arranged at least partially axially overlapping; or 
 the third clutch is arranged radially inside of the second clutch, and the second clutch and the third clutch are arranged at least partially axially overlapping. 
 
 
     
     
         6 . The clutch device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the first clutch and the second clutch are arranged at least partially radially overlapping; and
 the third clutch is arranged radially outside of the first clutch, and the first clutch and the third clutch are arranged axially overlapping; or 
 the third clutch is arranged radially outside of the second clutch, and the second clutch and the third clutch are at least partially axially overlapping. 
   
     
     
         7 . The clutch device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the first clutch and the second clutch are arranged at least partially axially overlapping;   the first clutch is radially offset from the second clutch;   the third clutch is arranged radially inside of the first clutch or radially inside of the second clutch; and
 the third clutch is arranged axially offset from the first clutch or the second clutch; or 
 the first clutch and the third clutch are arranged at least partially axially overlapping. 
   
     
     
         8 . The clutch device of  claim 7  wherein the first clutch is arranged radially outside of or radially inside of the second clutch. 
     
     
         9 . The clutch device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the first clutch and the second clutch are arranged radially offset;   the first clutch and the second clutch are arranged at least partially axially overlapping;   the third clutch is axially offset from the first clutch and the second clutch; and   the third clutch is arranged radially overlapping the first clutch and the second clutch.   
     
     
         10 . The clutch device of  claim 9  wherein the first clutch is arranged radially outside of or radially inside of the second clutch. 
     
     
         11 . The clutch device of  claim 1 , wherein the third clutch is arranged axially offset from the first clutch or the second clutch. 
     
     
         12 . The clutch device of  claim 1 , wherein the first drive motor is designed as an electric machine and the second drive motor is designed as an internal combustion engine.
