Diseño y simulación de una máquina industrial de planchado con capacidad de treinta sábanas /horas para la industria hospitalaria

Abstract

The primary aim of this technological project is to develop and simulate a bed sheet ironing machine capable of producing 30 sheets per hour. In this machine we employs a mechanical system controlled by a servo motor to move the roller at a certain speed of 5,371.5 rpm, with a required torque of 8.515 [Nm] for smooth operation. Additionally, the radial force between the roller and the trough is determined to be 439.823 N. After assessing various load factors, the SKF P30FM bearing is selected. Project's progression relies on thorough research, alternative comparisons, part design for the machine, and subsequent simulations. When selecting parts, factors such as durability, strength, safety margins, and material exposure conditions are taken into account. This ensures the selection of an appropriate design prototype, heat source, manufacturing material for the machine, and motor connection type, thus guaranteeing sustained machine performance over time. Finalizing the machine's design, software we used is Inventor, EDsolid, and Ansys. The prototype has an efficiency of 30 sheets per hour, resulting in increased productivity compared to traditional irons. This enhancement is evident in the cost analysis.
