Projeto de um docking cart para ensaios de motores em salas de dinamômetros

Abstract

This document deals with the design of a docking cart for engine testing in dynamometer rooms. The aim of the work was to design, in one year, a engine handling cart (docking cart) to reduce setup time in engine test-rooms for dynamometric tests. For this, the methodology of product development and is divided into Informational, Conceptual, Basic and Detailed; this methodology encompasses, in short, the understanding of the process current in the client company and its needs, conception of concept for meeting needs, CAD modeling, CAE simulations, and 2D detailing for manufacturing, as well as technical and financial analysis. The design of this product aims to solve the problem presented by the client: the long internal setup to carrying out the tests of combustion engines, which generates a cost, due to the room stopped, elevated and unwanted. As main results of the new docking cart, there was an estimated reduction of 26% in the internal setup, generating savings of approximately R$7,011.00 for the company. All stages of the project, considerations, adopted parameters, difficulties and results will be addressed in the documents that follow.
