Este Trabajo de Fin de Grado presenta el diseño de un dispositivo capaz de realizar reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP) de forma autónoma, con el objetivo de mejorar la eficacia de las compresiones torácicas en situaciones de emergencia extrahospitalaria. Tras analizar dispositivos comerciales ya existentes, se definieron los principales requisitos: instalación rápida (menos de 60 segundos), aplicación de compresiones entre 300 y 600 N, y autonomía operativa mínima de 30 minutos. El diseño se ha estructurado en dos subconjuntos mecánicos principales, accionados mediante un sistema de transmisión por ejes, poleas y rodillos helicoidales que traccionan una banda torácica. Se han modelado todas las piezas en CAD mediante SolidWorks, y se han realizado simulaciones por elementos finitos (FEM) para verificar la resistencia estructural, asegurando factores de seguridad adecuados. Además, se ha llevado a cabo la selección y diseño de componentes tanto normalizados como no normalizados, garantizando el correcto funcionamiento del conjunto. El resultado es una solución técnica compacta, ligera y fabricable, que cumple con los requisitos definidos y está preparada para una futura fase de prototipado.
This Final Degree Project presents the mechanical design of an autonomous cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) device, aimed at improving the efficiency of chest compressions in out-of-hospital emergency situations. After analyzing existing commercial systems such as Lucas™, Thumper™, and AutoPulse™, the main design requirements were defined: installation time under 60 seconds, chest compression force between 300 and 600 N, and a minimum operating autonomy of 30 minutes. The system is composed of two main mechanical assemblies, driven by a transmission mechanism based on shafts, pulleys, and helical rollers that tension a thoracic compression band. All components were modelled in CAD using SolidWorks, and structural integrity was validated through finite element analysis (FEM), ensuring appropriate safety factors. The project includes the design and selection of both standardized and custom-made components, ensuring the correct operation of the system. The result is a compact, lightweight and manufacturable solution that meets the initial specifications and is ready for future prototyping phases.
