Diseño y simulación de un prototipo de dron fumigador con capacidad de ocho litros para cultivo de frutilla

Abstract

The present titling work arises as a necessity for small or medium-sized farmers who are dedicated to the fumigation of strawberry crops, due to this, the design of an eight-liter capacity fumigator drone is proposed in order to protect the health of the farmer exposed to agrochemicals. The analysis of alternatives allowed determine the quadcopter configuration, as the most viable for the project. UHM carbon fiber and 6061 T6 aerospace aluminum were selected as the most optimal materials. By calculating mechatronic elements, the most suitable propulsion system and fumigation components were chosen. The designed drone was generated in SolidWorks for its static and aerodynamic analysis. This design was simulated with a warm and temperate climate using appropriate software, resulting in a 22kg spray drone, with a flight time of 18 minutes per hectare and an efficiency of 85% that facilitates its viability.
