Diseño y simulación de una volteadora de compost impulsado por un sistema oleohidráulico como parte del diseño e implementación del proyecto de producción, transformación, comercialización y promoción de consumo de la quinua y sus derivados

Abstract

The present research work focused on the design and analysis of a turning machine for compost controlled by an oleohydraulic system. The same that generated great interest around its operation and applicability in the compost formation activity. The design methodology was based on presenting the functional objectives of the machine for subsequent representation using mechanical and oleohydraulic systems. The systems designed were: a turning system by means of a rotor shaft, a caterpillar type advance system, an element support structure and the oleohydraulic power and control system. The mechanical design of the different elements was carried out using the specialized software Ansys - Structural, guaranteeing resistance to different types of load and controlling local deformation. For this, the design loads were obtained by quantifying the amount of compost material to be turned, the advance speed of the machine and the rotation of the rotor shaft recommended for this application. The design of the oleohydraulic system was based on the control of three motors that guarantee the general movements mentioned. In addition, a water moistening system was designed that guaranteed the temperature and humidity levels established in the Composting Manual. For the analysis of the operation of the machine with the systems described, it was proceeded with the simulation using the ADAMS VIEW software, which allowed to visualize the operation of each mechanical system, excluding the oleohydraulic control system. The stability results of the machine were satisfactory before the simultaneous simulation of each mechanism, as well as the verification of the torque required in each motor to perform its function. This leads to guaranteeing the design of the autonomous turning machine before the respective specifications established under the oleohydraulic control of its elements.
