Tiivistelmä
The objective of this project was to design a hydraulic hoist for a car trailer to lift a mass up to 500 kg by using 12 volts of direct current. The thesis project, commissioned by HAMK University of Applied Sciences, was started by gathering information on various hydraulics hoists which were already in use on car trailers.
By using morphological box analysis, the most suitable design pattern was chosen. The thesis work was carried out with the basic ideas of strength of materials which helped in the process of the beam design as well as selection of machine elements such as nuts and bolts. The entire design process was based on calculations, knowledge of strength of materials and machine elements. Knowledge of hydraulics was applied during the selection of the hydraulic cylinder. The design was assured from Finnish Traffic Regulations.
The total mass of the whole system was calculated and the total construction cost was estimated. During the project, the computer aided design tools were used for designing purposes to display the model in 3D along with engineering drawings.
