Lubricación automática para una escalera eléctrica con monitoreo de cadena
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-03-13) Avila Castro, Cristian Andres; Abril Rivera, Raúl Alfredo
The automatic lubrication system designed for this work represents a key need for escalator maintenance companies. Currently, lubricating the chains and checking their tension presents several difficulties, which generates a waste of time and materials, in addition to representing a high risk for the collaborators who perform these tasks. For the development of the chain lubrication and monitoring system, an analysis was carried out based on the author's experience as a maintenance technician, in which the high risk associated with these tasks was identified, as well as the waste of materials and the lack of effective lubrication. Subsequently, the system structure was designed, defining the elements to be used and the corresponding programming. The design is based on the experience with escalators, with the objective of automating processes that, in certain models, are still carried out manually. Therefore, alternative solutions are proposed that best suit the maintenance needs. As a result, a lubrication control system is developed, defining the controller element and its components. Finally, the system is evaluated by means of a scale model, which allows to analyze the operation of both the ladder and the lubrication system, in order to optimize it is performance through simulation.
