  • Patent number: 12072186
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor system (10) for a movable part (1) of a vehicle (3), comprising: an actuating element (20) comprising at least one deformation region (40) in which an activation action can be sensed by an operator (5), at least one inductive activation means (60) arranged in the deformation region (40), and at least one sensor device (30) arranged on the actuating element (20) or on the movable part (1) for inductance measurement on the activation means (60). For this purpose, according to the invention, at least one shielding element (34) is provided for the at least one sensor device (30) in order to avoid interferences during the inductance measurement.

  • Publication number: 20230050930
    Abstract: An inductive sensor assembly is used for detecting a change in position of an actuating element. The sensor assembly has: an LC resonant circuit having an inductive element (L) and a capacitive element (C); an excitation supply which is coupled to the LC resonant circuit in order to excite the LC resonant circuit with an excitation voltage (U); a decoupling element arranged between the excitation supply and the LC resonant circuit; and, an evaluation arrangement for evaluating the signal decreasing across the resonant circuit. An actuating assembly is also provided.
