Diseño y construcción de surcadora para motocultor YTO DF-15L para uso de parcelas del MAGAP en la Provincia de Chimborazo.

Abstract

The present project has as purpose, design, construct, and implement an equipment of plough of lands type ridger, to be used in the agricultural plots of the province of Chimborazo, by adapting to a YTO-DF-15L belonging to the agricultural fleet of the Department of Agriculture Ranching Aquaculture and Fishing (MAGAP), to be later delivered to the communities of the province. For the planning of the project, a selection of the possible plow implements used in the agricultural field was carried out, identifying the existing materials in the Ecuadorian market and an evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of each material in reference to the capacity of work, economy, mechanical resistance, etc. In need of realizing a functional project, without giving the error, we proceeded to design each of the components of the ridger equipment, followed by a virtual 3D preassembly aided by the design program Solid Works. To guarantee the reliability of the designed elements, one proceeded to realize a study of the materials with those who are going to be constructed. For this purpose, metallographic and spectrometric tests were carried out, deepening the study of the implement blades of the equipment. Later, a simulation was performed using the Finite Element Method (MEF) with the Ansys multiphysical platform, corroborating the good structural performance of the implement. Later, proposal was analyzed to determine if the construction of the implement was viable or not, in reference to the help given by MAGAP pf Chimborazo. The work is concluded with the respective field tests, giving excellent results in the tillage of the soil, and becoming an improvement of the life of the farmers of the region.
