Steering Device with a Steering Sensor Unit for Inductive Detection of at Least One Item of Steering Information - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240132153 titled 'Steering Device with a Steering Sensor Unit for Inductive Detection of at Least One Item of Steering Information

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a steering device with a rotatably mounted steering shaft that includes an input shaft and a separately formed output shaft, as well as a steering sensor unit for inductive detection of steering information.

  • The steering sensor unit consists of at least one sensor element and at least two rotor elements that interact with the sensor element.
  • The first rotor element is connected to the input shaft and extends perpendicularly with respect to the steering shaft, while the second rotor element is connected to the output shaft and also extends perpendicularly with respect to the steering shaft.
  • The second rotor element has fastening lugs for attachment to the output shaft, which extend through leadthrough openings of the first rotor in the axial direction.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in automotive steering systems, industrial machinery, and robotics where precise steering control is required.

Problems Solved

This innovation solves the problem of accurately detecting steering information in a steering device with a rotatably mounted steering shaft.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved accuracy in steering control, increased reliability in steering sensor detection, and potentially reduced maintenance requirements.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology could include automotive steering systems, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and other industries requiring precise steering control.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be similar steering sensor units used in automotive or industrial applications.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology compare to existing steering sensor units in terms of accuracy and reliability?

This article does not provide a direct comparison with existing steering sensor units, so it is unclear how this technology fares in terms of accuracy and reliability.

What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in different types of steering systems?

The article does not address the potential challenges in implementing this technology in various steering systems, leaving room for further exploration on this topic.


Original Abstract Submitted

a steering device with a rotatably mounted steering shaft includes an input shaft and a separately formed output shaft, and a steering sensor unit for inductive detection of at least one item of steering information, which steering sensor unit comprises at least one sensor element and at least two rotor elements interacting with the sensor element. a first rotor element is connected for conjoint rotation to the input shaft and has a first portion associated with the sensor element and extending perpendicularly with respect to the steering shaft. a second rotor element is connected for conjoint rotation to the output shaft and has a second portion associated with the sensor element and extending perpendicularly with respect to the steering shaft. the second rotor element has a plurality of fastening lugs for fastening to the output shaft which extend through leadthrough openings of the first rotor in the axial direction.
