Repotenciación del motor de combustión interna del motocultor YTO a una unidad contra incendios en la comunidad de San Juan en la ciudad de Riobamba

Abstract

The objective of this research work was to implement a equipment against forest fires to the community San Juan located in Chimborazo province, through the repowering of a rototiller YTO DF-15L model. It belongs to Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería (MAG) of this province, in order to provide operation to several rototiller which are in a state of unavailability due to lack of operation and maintenance. The research work development was based on an investigative, analytical methodology and design cycle. In the first part of the methodology, a preliminary study of the operation and technical characteristics of the rototiller was carried out, which made it possible to establish the feasibility of repowering the rototiller as a equipment of first response against forest fires. In the second part of the methodology, an analysis of the current state of the rototiller was perfomed, thus knowing what maintenance activities will be carried out on the equipment to improve availability, reliability and safety. In the third part of the methodology, through the improvement maintenance, the mechanical design was carried out using SolidWorks software, which designed the trailer and pumping system to establish it as a first response equipment against forest fires. It was coupled to the rototiller allowing the construction by selecting materials, equipment and accessories of high reliability for the development of the project. It is concluded that the implementation of the equipment against forest fires through the repowering of the rototiller. It allows to protect the security of the forest and agricultural sector of the community. In addition it improves the maneuverability of the equipment and safeguard the safety of the operator through improvements made to the original design. The study of applications for rototillers is recommended which allow to benefit the communities of the Chimborazo province as well as society in general.
