20150212520 | Robot And Method For Autonomous Inspection Or Processing Of Floor Areas - A mobile, self-propelling robot for carrying out activities autonomously is described. The robot can include a drive module for moving the robot over the floor surface, a processing module, a navigation module that navigates based on a map of the surroundings. The robot can also include a sensor module for sensing information relating to the structure of the surroundings, an analysis unit designed to determine the surface processed during a processing operation, to compare the surface and store information about a deviation therebetween, and a communication module to communicate the stored information about the deviation and thereby provide a user with the possibility of intervening, where on the basis of predefinable criteria it is decided whether information is to be communicated or not. The communication module can also receive a control instruction from the user and to interrupt, continue, modify or start again the processing operation. | 07-30-2015 |

20130113177 | Single-Pivot Type Suspension Strut Axle - A single-pivot suspension strut axle for a passenger car, includes a wheel carrier/pivot bearing carrying the wheel and a brake disk non-rotatably connected with the wheel relative to a rotational axis thereof. A suspension strut is fastened to the wheel carrier/pivot bearing and, at another end, is supported at the vehicle body. The wheel carrier/pivot bearing is guided by a supporting joint situated close to the wheel center plane by a lower control arm, representing an A-arm, and by a tie rod. A section of the control arm connected with the supporting joint projects through the ring-shaped brake disk. A leaf spring element oriented in the transverse direction of the vehicle provides proportional support for the vehicle body on the wheel, and is supported, on one side, at the control arm and, on another side, directly or indirectly, at the vehicle body. | 05-09-2013 |
20140035251 | Independent Wheel Suspension of an at Least Slightly Steerable Rear Wheel of a Double-Track Vehicle - A swivel bearing of a wheel suspension is connected to a longitudinal control arm via two joints at different heights viewed in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, in an articulated manner such that the joints determine a steering axis of rotation extending primarily perpendicularly when viewed from the side, and which has a negative scrub radius. Each transverse control arm is attached to the longitudinal control arm via one rubber mount or joint having a minimal degree of rotary freedom. The swivel bearing is guided by a tie rod, which is supported on a soft rubber bearing. The tie rod is connected to an actuator adjuster element, whose actuator is arranged substantially in a center of the vehicle and acts for the two rear wheels thereof. The tie rod is moveable substantially in the transverse direction to minimally steer the rear wheel. | 02-06-2014 |
20140183830 | Vehicle Wheel Suspension with Wheel Load Variation via a Deflection Lever - A vehicle wheel suspension has a suspension spring, by which the vehicle body is proportionally supported on a supporting bracket of the wheel suspension. The wheel load acting upon a pertaining wheel as a result of this support is changeable in that the transmission ratio at a shift lever provided in the load path of the support and swivelably disposed at the vehicle body with respect to the latter can be changed by an actuator. Parallel to the load path containing the shift lever and a first suspension spring element, an additional load path with a second suspension spring element effective between the vehicle body and the pertaining wheel is provided. The transmission ratio at the shift lever may be changed over a wide range by displacement of the supporting point of the first suspension spring element or a transmission rod supported with its other end at the supporting bracket of the wheel suspension. This supporting point may be displaced closely into the surroundings of the bearing point of the shift lever at the vehicle body or axle carrier. | 07-03-2014 |

20160046162 | Independent Vehicle Suspension Having a Spring-Link Suspension Structure Made from a Fiber Composite Material - An independent suspension for a vehicle includes a spring-link suspension structure which is made from a fibrous composite material, is substantially U-shaped when viewed in the vehicle longitudinal direction. Ends of upper and lower members are secured to the vehicle body or a carrier connected thereto. At least one of these securements has no rotational degree of freedom about an axis extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction, while a wheel hub is connected to the base of the U-shaped spring-link suspension structure in order to secure a vehicle wheel. At least one of the members is secured to the vehicle body or to the carrier in a substantially rigid manner i.e. aside from low levels of elasticity, and no further wheel guiding suspension link is provided that substantially extends in the vehicle longitudinal direction. As a result, in order to achieve a desired toe-in increase when braking, a recess is provided in at least one of the members. The recess extends from the point at which the wheel hub is secured to the base and across only a subregion of the member in the longitudinal direction thereof. | 02-18-2016 |
