Diseño y construcción de un prototipo de archivador semiautomático para el almacenamiento de documentos

Abstract

The present design addresses the design and construction of a prototype of a semi-automatic file cabinet for the storage of documents, where the problems presented when using the conventional file cabinet are analyzed situationally, calculating and/or simulating the mechanical and electronic elements of the intelligent filing cabinet prototype for the storage of documents and analyze the feasibility of storage and correct selection for the files of the smart filing cabinet prototype. The types of sliding and conventional filing cabinets, types of industrial storage units existing on the market, prototypes and problems posed are analyzed and investigated. Through these, different alternatives are proposed, such as the purchase of a document storage unit and the design of a prototype, which They must meet established requirements such as cost, existence in the market, operator safety, maintenance and sizing. In the end, a prototype of a semi-automatic filing cabinet for the storage of documents is designed and built with a vertical elevator and a horizontal conveyor, where each of the aforementioned systems entails its respective structural analysis in which it focuses on the elementary parts where the load influences critically. Once designed and built, it stands out that it is suitable for spaces such as secretarial areas of institutions or companies since it moves with total freedom in two planes in y and e x, in addition, embedded systems and stepper motors are used for its mobility, giving the user greater ease of physical access to files.
