Abstract

A transport vehicle includes two non-steered drive wheels, two non-driven steered load wheels, drive motors for driving the drive wheels, a steering target value encoder, a device for detecting the steering angle of one of the load wheels, and an electric control unit. An actuation of the steering target value encoder displaces a steering pole along a steering pole axis. The steering target value encoder steers each of the load wheels from a first position in which the load wheels' axes run parallel to the drive wheels' axes into a second position in which the load wheels' axes are oriented to the steering pole which lies between the drive wheels. The electronic control unit influences a rotational speed of the drive motors as a function of the steering angle and reverses a direction of rotation of at least one of the drive motors as a function of the steering angle.

Abstract

A multidirectional transport vehicle includes a longitudinal axis which defines a longitudinal direction, a transverse axis which defines a transverse direction, a steering system, a driving direction switch, and a driving direction adjustment element. The steering system comprises at least three independently steerable wheels and a steering target value transmitter which steers the wheels. Each wheel has a wheel axle. A steering pole, on which each wheel axle is aligned when cornering, is moved along a steering pole axis by actuating the steering target value transmitter. The driving direction switch includes a limited number of separate switch positions, wherein exactly one switch position preselects exactly one respective rotational position of the steering pole axis relative to the multidirectional transport vehicle and preselects one of two driving directions facilitated thereby. The driving direction adjustment element changes a preselectable rotational position of the steering pole axis.

Abstract

A method for operating an industrial truck having three wheels. During longitudinal travel, two steerable wheels run in succession in a first lane, and a third wheel runs in a second lane. The third wheel initially runs on an inside during a turning in while cornering until the industrial truck, during a further turning in, transitions into a revolving motion. The method includes reducing a drive power as of a specific steering angle during the turning in prior to the revolving motion, and disengaging or reversing a direction of a drive rotation of the third wheel after a delay time which begins with the reducing of the drive power, or, continuously reducing the drive power from the specific steering angle during the further turning in, and disengaging or reversing the direction of rotation of the third wheel when transitioning into the revolving motion.

Abstract

A method for operating an industrial truck having three wheels. During longitudinal travel, two steerable wheels run in succession in a first lane, and a third wheel runs in a second lane. The third wheel initially runs on an inside during a turning in while cornering until the industrial truck, during a further turning in, transitions into a revolving motion. The method includes reducing a drive power as of a specific steering angle during the turning in prior to the revolving motion, and disengaging or reversing a direction of a drive rotation of the third wheel after a delay time which begins with the reducing of the drive power, or, continuously reducing the drive power from the specific steering angle during the further turning in, and disengaging or reversing the direction of rotation of the third wheel when transitioning into the revolving motion.

Abstract

In a steering system for a vehicle (100) having at least three wheels (9, 12), which can be steered independently of one another, and a steering desired value transmitter (19) which steers the wheels (9, 12) according to a steering program (L), an operating element (15) is provided by means of which the vehicle (100) can be caused to rotate, during travel, about a centre of rotation (T) which moves with a principal movement vector, and the steering program (L) is designed in such a manner that by means of the steering desired value transmitter (19) the direction of the principal movement vector of the centre of rotation (T) can be changed.

Abstract

A steering method for an industrial truck includes manually steering at least one steerable wheel with a steering transducer. The at least one steerable wheel is hydraulically connected or mechanically connected with the steering transducer. An angular position of the at least one steerable wheel is detected. At least one additional steerable wheel is motor-steered as a function of the detected angular position.
