Diseño de un sistema mecánico para elevación de vehículos

Abstract

The automotive industry has always been concerned with improving day by day all of its vehicle models, developing more comfortable systems for its users, such as rear cameras, automatic parking systems, collision detection, air bags, etc. However, it has neglected certain aspects like the replacement of tires when having a puncture, using devices that have not changed in a long time. We present the design of a protoype coupled to a bottle-type hydraulic jack to elevate automotive vehicles, replacing the mechanical energy provided by the human with electrical energy of direct current provided by the car’s battery. The prototype consists of a 12 V gear motor that moves a gear train mechanism to activate a crank that will be coupled to the jack to produce the lifting.
