  • Publication number: 20190283801
    Abstract: A steering device for a vehicle, having an actuator, which is provided to exert an axial force on a push rod. The push rod is pivotally connected to respective coupling rods on both sides. The respective coupling rods are pivotally connected to respective deflection levers. The respective deflection levers are pivotally connected to respective tie rods. The respective tie rods are pivotally connected to respective steering levers which are being operatively connected to respective hub carriers to steer respective wheels of a vehicle axle in accordance with axial movement of the push rod. The deflection levers alter a transmission ratio between the push rod and the respective tie rods to lower the axial force at the actuator.

  • Patent number: 10414221
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a pivot angle detection device and a method for detecting a pivot angle between a vehicle and a trailer coupling device that is coupled to the vehicle. A transmitter is hereby provided, which is designed for producing an electromagnetic field, as well as a receiver which is designed to detect a field strength of the electromagnetic field, whereby the transmitter and receiver are arranged towards each other on the vehicle and trailer coupling device in such a way that a change of the pivot angle produces a dependent change in the field strength that is detected by the receiver. Additionally, an evaluation device for determining the pivot angle based on the detected field strength is also provided. The disclosure also relates to a transmitter, a receiver and an evaluation device, that are designed for this purpose.
