Steering gear for a vehicle, vehicle, method for controlling a steering gear and method for steering a vehicle

A vehicle, comprising:

• a steering column, which is an input shaft:
• a steering drag link;
• and
• a steering gear, which is coupled to the steering column and to the steering drag link;
• wherein the steering gear includes the input shaft, which has a spindle section;
• a recirculating ball nut, adjacent the spidle section, and having an external toothing;
• an output shaft having a segmented toothing arranged rotationally conjointly thereon, the segmented toothing meshing with the external toothing;
• a steering arm connected rotationally conjointly to the output shaft and movably connected to the steering drag link,
• wherein the steering gear includes a linear drive having at least one displacement element, which is displaceable substantially along a vehicle longitudinal axis of the vehicle and which is fastenable to the steering drag link of the vehicle, and
• wherein the linear drive is configured to convert a rotational movement of the steering column of the vehicle into a movement of the displacement element substantially along the vehicle longitudinal axis.

A method for actuating a steering gear, the method comprising:

• reading in a steering signal that represents a steering movement;
• and
• providing a control signal for controlling a drive unit for driving at least one displacement element using the steering signal;
• wherein the steering gear includes the input shaft, which has a spindle section;
• a recirculating ball nut, adjacent the spidle section, and having an external toothing;
• an output shaft having a segmented toothing arranged rotationally conjointly thereon, the segmented toothing meshing with the external toothing;
• a steering arm connected rotationally conjointly to the output shaft and movably connected to the steering drag link,
• wherein the steering gear includes a linear drive having the at least one displacement element, which is displaceable substantially along a vehicle longitudinal axis of the vehicle and which is fastenable to the steering drag link of the vehicle, and
• wherein the linear drive is configured to convert a rotational movement of the steering column of the vehicle into a movement of the displacement element substantially along the vehicle longitudinal axis.

A method for steering a vehicle, the method comprising:

• coupling a steering moment into the steering gear via a steering column, which is an input shaft, wherein the vehicle includes the steering column, a steering drag link and a steering gear coupled to the steering column and to the steering drag link, wherein the steering gear has a linear drive with at least one displacement element which is displaceable substantially along a vehicle longitudinal axis of the vehicle and which is fastenable to the steering drag link;
• and
• converting the steering moment into a movement of the displacement element substantially along the vehicle longitudinal axis by the linear drive;
• wherein the steering gear includes the input shaft, which has a spindle section;
• a recirculating ball nut, adjacent the spidle section, and having an external toothing;
• an output shaft having a segmented toothing arranged rotationally conjointly thereon, the segmented toothing meshing with the external toothing;
• a steering arm connected rotationally conjointly to the output shaft and movably connected to the steering drag link.
