Design And Fabrication Of A Semi-Automatic Sweeping Machine

ABSTRACT

Programmed floor cleaner is a computerized machine that works with the client to keep their place spotless and sterile. Numerous enterprises are working in the robotization field to make independent cleaners. This paper manages the improvement of programmed floor cleaner/sweeper. Presently a day’s significant accentuation is given on the field of mechanical technology for diminishing human endeavors. This floor cleaning machine is designed by keeping the basic considerations for reduction in cost and efforts while being environmental friendly and easy to handle. The machine will work on electricity and will consist of simple fabrication .This work can be very useful to improve the life style of mankind. For its expense decrease and effortlessness, we are utilizing Arduino. The sweeper will be a stage for giving agreeable life by settling issues in conventional floor cleaning techniques.

1.0                                                                 INTRODUCTION

1.1                                                 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT

For cleaning the houses, workplaces, roads, ventures we for the most part utilize the brush. However, by utilizing brush some medical problem can happen like skin infection, back torment and so forth. It likewise requires more humanity power also time. Henceforth now in present days as innovation is filling in each field, we likewise use robots for cleaning reason. Be that as it may, cleaning robots are expensive and just some of them give office of cleaning as well as wet cleaning. In India for houses cleaning robots are not utilized on the grounds that a typical individual can’t bear the cost of it because of significant expense. In India, robots are utilized for road cleaning, rail route station and air terminal cleaning which are controlled physically. In this paper, we are planning a completely programmed floor more clean. This is equipped for wet cleaning as well as dry cleaning. In this, we additionally use UV light for microorganism disinfection by which we can keep away from corrosive or other dangerous fluid. For planning of room, we utilize different innovation. However, here we use IR sensor for edge identification and snag discovery. In this project we likewise use Arduino UNO microcontroller. By this task, we attempted to decrease the expense of cleaning robot as contrast and other wiping robots.

1.2  PROBLEM STATEMENT

Sweeping which is part of cleaning is essential one to make the environment sanitary. Traditional sweeping which are in different methods involves huge cost of labor and wastes time. This work deals with design and fabrication of a semi-automatic sweeping machine which was invented or carried out to overcome the traditional method of sweeping. This work involves the use of microcontroller and sensors to controls the machine that sweeps. This machine reduces the cleaning time to save the time and reducing the human effort to make the environment clean.

1.3      AIM AND OBJECTIVES

The main aim of this study is to build a prototype of a semi-automated sweeping machine that will reduce the sweeping time and manual effort.

1. The objectives of this project is to make semi-automated floor cleaning
2. Reduce the overall cost.

• Reduce human

1. To increase the effectiveness of floor
2. To provide the alternative method for cleaning.
3. To reduce human effort, cost and time

• To develop a machine that helps in easy and quick cleaning

1.4      ADVANTAGES OF THE PROJECT

• Low maintenance cost.
• Light weight.
• It is portable.
• Low cost for initial investment.
• Less skilled or unskilled worker can easily operate this machine.
• Ecofriendly.
• System works smoothly and it is the most economical way of cleaning.

1.5      LIMITATIONS OF THE PROJECT

• Rough surface cannot be cleaned by this machine.

1.6      APPLICATIONS OF THE PROJECT

• This device may be operates routinely in addition to physically.
• It may be function singly for minor seashore area, however for massive area, they may be operates in pairs at identical time.

1.7      SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

Automatic floor sweeper is a system that enables cleaning of the floor by the help of highly stabilized and rapidly functionalized electronic and mechanical control system. The scope of project work covers the use automatic floor cleaner for large floor in house-hold purposes and office floors. The cleaning purpose is specifically carried out by continuous relative motion between a scrubber and the floor surface. During the cleaning and moving operation of vehicle a propulsion mechanism such as driven wheels and guide wheels for the dry tracking on the floor surface to be cleaned, scrubbing action is done by the scrubber directing water towards rear end. Preferably, a sweeper mechanism is mounted on the body forwarded by propulsion mechanism and operated with such control system for advance sweeping of a debris-laden floor surface.

CHAPTER FIVE

CONCLUSION

We concluded that, automatic sweeping machine with the help of DC motor. This machine is designed in order to enable easy operation and to reduce the effort of human being. The need of this project is satisfied and with the help of this machine we can clean the floor easily. Designed with the that it is very much economical and help full to many industries and workshops. This project helped us to know the steps in completing a project work. Thus, completed the project successfully.

RECOMMENDATION

In today’s era, 95 percent of the cost of sweeping a floor is labour. Naturally, the high cost of this simple task has inspired alternative solutions and that is Automatic Floor Cleaner. From industries to homes automatic sweeping is used and is becoming a very important part of life as it saves time, money and reduces human efforts to a great extent. It is the future of cleaning in our fast moving life. It is no surprise that they would probably be more reliable than the manual sweeping.
