Adaptación de un Buggy con motor de combustión interna a un sistema eléctrico

Abstract

The following technical project is related about adaptation an electrical system to a tourist buggy, which had an internal combustion engine by origin, which electrical mechanical components were performed in the chassis of the Buggy. As a result, the use of new energies for transportation and technological innovations were reached. To reduce the pollution in the environment, noise, and the easy maintenance facility. It has been started from a chassis, and through the appropriate studies and analysis, was settle the components and their selection for the conversion of the Buggy which is driven by an electric engine. This one consists of a battery bank, a controller, and an electric engine of direct current (DC). Consequently, it was developed in two parts such as the mechanical and electrical. In the mechanical checking was based on the transmission system in the design and construction of the support for the electric engine as well as the gears and the chain previously calculated. In addition, the electrical part was based on the connections between the engine, batteries and controller which are linked by the correct operation. In conclusion, the Buggy operating system is developed by accelerating the pedal which is linked to a potentiometer which sends the signal to the controller and this one by a certain logic reaching that the engine turns more or less revolutions depending on the desire of the user. Additionally, the controller has other features such as reversing motor rotation and regeneration of energy; It means that it takes advantage of the rotation of the motor to charge the batteries when this one works like a generator, with sensors that warn when the speed is reduced (braking). The performance tests performed succeed obtaining a safe handling for the user achieving a maximum speed of 48 km / h on straight roads with an autonomy of 22 km.
