Concepção de prensa hidráulica para análise de pneus agrícolas

Abstract

The study of agricultural tires is very important in the sense of improving the performance of tractors, thinking not only in efficiency, but also in the compaction of the soil and the cost benefit of the technologies placed on the market, the tests carried out on the tires encompass a series of factors and a huge expense with renting different sizes of tractors, complete sets of tires for testing, large areas for carrying out the analyzes and a high energy and time expenditure in addition to variables such as climate and heterogeneity in the testing field that reduce reliability results. Thus, the objective of this work was to develop a hydraulic press project for tire analysis in order to reduce the costs and time of the analysis, where with the 3D SolidWorks CAD software, a metallic structure was developed that could meet the needs of the customers. different dimensions of agricultural tires and withstand a load of 20 tonnes, together with a hydraulic system capable of carrying this load on a support developed to couple the tires to be tested, for greater precision in the results, the analyzes will be made using sensors installed in order to minimize errors and facilitate studies, within the tests. The structure will be able to carry out in the laboratory under controlled conditions, the tests of rolling circumference, analysis of soil compaction on a deformed and undeformed surface, measuring deformation of the lateral flank of the tire and damage analysis by post-harvest plant slopes, without the need to use a tractor or a complete set of tires, and you can also count on greater reliability in the results due to the homogeneous conditions where the analyzes will be made.
