Diseño y construcción de un arado de discos para ser acoplado al motocultor YTO DF-15l para la zona de Ecuador.

Abstract

The objective of the certification work was the design and construction of a disk plow that is coupled to a YTO DF-15L rototiller facilitated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Aquaculture and Fisheries MAGAP in favor of an AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION, with the purpose of developing the quality of work and improving the movement of the soil for sowing. The rotavator is a mechanism that is equipped with the tedder from the factory that allows to fragment, crush and turn the soil with a depth of no more than 15 cm presenting the only facility for the sowing of forage and pastures for livestock. To the design and construction was required the calculation of power. For the present project, the analytical, synthetic, bibliographic, comparative methodology of plowing alternatives and field tests were used where the effectiveness of the equipment can be evidenced, therefore the choice of the materials of each one of the components was made according to the required work requirement, the machining and treatment to which the disc of the plow when making the insertion in the soil will be exposed, for this reason the validation of said agricultural tool was carried out by means of the following validation tests: Spectrometry, Microstructure, Impact and Hardness, allowing to ensure the proper operation in working conditions, being coupled to the YTO DF-15L rototiller and operational for agricultural work, achieving that ESPOCH throughout the Automotive Engineering school provide important contributions for the development of agriculture. It is concluded that the power of the YTO DF 15L rototiller is over what is required. It will not have any difficulty to perform agricultural work, so it is recommended the use and operation of the machine carrying a behavioral matrix, for continuous improvement in its design.
