Implementación del sistema de frenos para el prototipo de auto eléctrico BIPLAZA UTA-CIM17

Abstract

The present technical work is based on the implementation of a braking system for the UTA CIM-17 two-seater electric car prototype. The same that arises from the need to look for an ecological, efficient means of transport and capable of adapting to the road needs of our city. In addition, to integrate two of the faculties of the Technical University of Ambato for the generation of this project, reinforcing the skills of teamwork and the adaptation of students to the world of work. For the realization of the present project, a study was made of the general parameters of the UTA CIM-17 two-seater electric car prototype as the total weight of the same, the maximum speed reached, the type of traction and space available for the installation of the system in the design of the vehicle, the same ones that were necessary for the design of a brake system and the adequate selection of the necessary components for it. Several proposals were analysed for the design of the braking system which were weighted in order to choose the most viable and efficient for the vehicle. With the system already defined, the system was implemented in the electric car to subsequently perform the respective operation tests and correct possible errors in the installation of the system; in addition, to collect information on the operation of the brake system in practice. Finally, a manual of use and maintenance was made necessary for the proper functioning of the brake system.
