Optimización del Diseño y Construcción de un Molino de Pines : Componente B.

Abstract

The following Curricular Integration Work submitted in cycle 2022A was named "Optimization of Design and Construction of a Pin Mill". This work is based on the previous design realized by Edwin Amaguaña and Inti Casco in the Curricular Integration Work called "Design of a Pin Mill" which was submitted in the period of 2021B. The following CIW was elaborated by three students, so the design of the pin mill developed by Amaguaña and Casco was divided in three components: A, B and C. In fact, the submitted writing contains details of component B, which has the following elements: rotatory disc, pins of the rotatory disc, mill shaft, bearing brackets for the mill shaft, mill shaft pulley, mill shaft keys, and lastly, circular sieve assembly. For the accomplishment of the objectives of the CIW, an analysis of the prior design was made, and it was verified if an optimization of every single piece of the component B was needed. After having the redesign, the software SolidWorks was used to make a 3D model of the pin mill, in order to check interferences and coupling when assembling all the parts. Based in this 3D model, the CAM, G codes and detail drawings of the parts were obtained, and based on those documents, the fabrication of the component B of the pin mill was started. With the construction of all the parts, an assembly of all the pieces of the pin mill was made, and lastly, test protocols were prepared in order to verify the functionality and development of the machine.
