Diseño y construcción de un sistema de riego automatizado para jardines domiciliarios

Abstract

The sprinkler irrigation system for home gardens does not have a study for small and irregular areas that have adequate automation for its use, presenting problems in the care of the garden, especially in its irrigation. Therefore, the objective of this research was to carry out the design and construction of an automated irrigation system for a home garden in the city of Riobamba, province of Chimborazo. The methodology implemented had a quantitative approach, using automation in a logo programmed in Ladder language, through the QFD study, the main factors for an L-shaped garden were implemented, the first with an area of 2.4m x 17m, and the second of 1.9m x 8.5m, to control your irrigation by collecting information, monitoring parameters and established sequences, for the correct calibration of the water supply, it was evaluated by comparing with the amount of manual use. Using this methodology, approximately 40% water savings were established compared to manual irrigation. The implementation of the automated system improves the efficiency of the irrigation system and saves the natural resource "water", a comparison of the cost of the manual irrigation system versus the automated irrigation system was also carried out. In this context, it is concluded that the QFD study acquired the characteristic values for the design, implementing adequate automation allowing the transport of water throughout the garden area with a correct pressure and flow at each point, having water savings that will give a economic savings in the period of one year
