Abstract

Am Kupplungskugelhals angebrachter Stangenwinkelsensor dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Knickwinkel mittels anbringen des Stangensensors und der Führung/Aufnahme der Verbindungsstange an der Starrdeichsel überwacht werden kann.Rod angle sensor attached to the coupling ball neck characterized in that the articulation angle can be monitored by attaching the rod sensor and guiding / receiving the connecting rod on the rigid drawbar.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Winkelsensor für den Knickwinkel zwischen der Längsachse eines Zugfahrzeugs und eines Anhängers. Der Stangensensor wird hierbei an dem Kupplungskugelhals angebracht und mit der Halterung an der Starrdeichsel des Anhängers verbunden.The invention relates to an angle sensor for the bending angle between the longitudinal axis of a towing vehicle and a trailer. The rod sensor is in this case attached to the coupling ball neck and connected to the bracket on the rigid drawbar of the trailer.

Dadurch ist es möglich, eine Lageänderung oder Bewegung der Kugelaufnahme der Starrdeichsel relativ zur Gelenkkugel zu erfassen. Optional kann auch die Anwesenheit des Anhängers Überwacht werden.This makes it possible to detect a change in position or movement of the ball seat of the rigid drawbar relative to the joint ball. Optionally, the presence of the trailer can be monitored.

Im Schutzanspruch 1 sind die entsprechenden Merkmale aufgeführt.In protection claim 1, the corresponding features are listed.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand der Zeichnung erläutert.An embodiment of the invention will be explained with reference to the drawing.

Die Zeichnung zeigt den Aufbau des exemplarischen Kugelkopfs. Die Komponenten des Kugelkopf Winkelsensor sind: der Kugelkopf (1), der Stangensensor für den Knickwinkel (2), der Kupplungskugelhals (3), die Starrdeichsel des Anhängers (4) und die Führung/Aufnahme der Verbindungsstange (5).The drawing shows the structure of the exemplary ball head. The components of the ball end angle sensor are: the ball head ( 1 ), the bar sensor for the bending angle ( 2 ), the coupling ball neck ( 3 ), the rigid drawbar of the trailer ( 4 ) and the guide / receiving the connecting rod ( 5 ).

Die Zeichnung ( ) zeigt eine Anhängerkupplung mit einem Sensor für den Knickwinkel.The drawing ( ) shows a trailer hitch with a sensor for the bending angle.
