Diseño y construcción de un banco didáctico de frenos de aire para la Escuela de Ingeniería Automotriz.

Abstract

A Didactic Bank of Air Brakes was built to the Laboratory for the Automotive Engineering School, in order to contribute to the improvement of student’s technical training. The Didactic Bank of Air Brakes is in a structure designed for the respective practices, the main elements are distributed in a visible and easy way of identifying, these are: single and double lung action, pedal valve, rele valve, quick exhaust valve, pressure regulating valve, stopping valve, vent valve, safety valve, pressure gauge, compressor and pipe lines, also it has two three – phased electrical engines to move the brake drums by means of bands, simulating the rotation of the vehicle’s electrical Didactic Bank has an emergency button that suspends power supply to the three – phased engines. The operating principle tire of the Didactic Bank begins when the compressor is driven comprising and storing air in the tank, then the electric motors can be turned on, the observe the braking test once the pedal valve is activated. Practices can be carried out: pneumatic connection, lung exploded front and rear, cutting the roller assembly and brake control, this will allow the student to experience to improve professional training. Performing with the maintenance plan, it will prolong its life.
