Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2016000893A1] The invention relates to a pivot angle detection device and to a method for detecting a pivot angle (α) between a vehicle (1) and a trailer device (2, 2') coupled to the vehicle (1). A transmitter (5, 5') is provided which is designed to generate an electromagnetic field (F), and a receiver (4, 4') is provided which is designed to detect a field strength of the electromagnetic field (F). The transmitter (5, 5') and the receiver (4, 4') are arranged relative to each other on the vehicle (1) and the trailer device (2) such that a change of the pivot angle (α) causes a change dependent thereon of the field strength detected by the receiver (4, 4'). Additionally, an analyzing device (6) is provided for ascertaining the pivot angle (α) using the detected field strength. The invention also relates to a transmitter (5, 5') designed for this purpose, a receiver (4, 4'), and an analyzing device (6).
