Abstract
A device for a vehicle including a body component and a control device. The body component includes a fiber device having fibers and being electrically connected to the control device. The fibers are formed as conductive, reactive fibers, which fiber device is set up to convert deformation of the body component into electrical energy. The control device is configured to apply a first voltage to at least a portion of the fibers in order to cause a change in the stiffness of the fibers.
Claims17
A vehicle device for a vehicle, said vehicle device comprising:
- a body component and a control device,
- wherein the body component comprises a fiber device, wherein the fiber device comprises fibers and is electrically connected to the control device,
- wherein the fiber device is configured to convert a deformation of the body component into electrical energy, and
- wherein the control device is configured to apply a first voltage to at least a portion of the fibers in order to effect a change in a stiffness of the fibers,
- wherein the fibers of the fiber device run upwards and obliquely along the body component and the fiber device.
A vehicle device for a vehicle, said vehicle device comprising:
- a body component, a control device and a movement sensor disposed on the body component,
- wherein the body component comprises a fiber device, wherein the fiber device comprises fibers and is electrically connected to the control device,
- wherein the fiber device is configured to convert a deformation of the body component into electrical energy,
- wherein the control device is configured to apply a first voltage to at least a portion of the fibers in order to effect a change in a stiffness of the fibers,
- wherein the control device is configured to receive a first signal, wherein the first signal carries a first information about a movement of the vehicle,
- wherein the control device is configured to influence the first voltage as a function of the first signal,
- wherein the movement sensor is configured to generate a second signal as a function of a movement of the body component and transmit the second signal to the control device, and
- wherein the control device is configured to output the first voltage as a function of the second signal in order to reduce the movement of the body component.
