 ABSTRACT

The efforts required in achieving the desired output can be effectively and economically be
decreased by the implementation of better designs. Power screws are used to convert rotary
motion into translator motion. A screw jack is an example of a power screw in which a
small force applied in a horizontal plane is used to raise or lower a large load. The principle
on which it works is similar to that of an inclined plane. The mechanical advantage of a
screw jack is the ratio of the load applied to the effort applied. The screw jack is operated
by turning a lead screw. The height of the jack is adjusted by turning a lead screw and this
adjustment can be done either manually or by integrating an electric motor.

Screw jack plays an important role in changing the wheel of an automobile, also a huge
amount of force is required in opening and tightening the nuts to fix the wheel. By the help
of this project we want to reduce both of these manual jobs, to a less complicated – more
efficient motor driven and Semi-Automatic Job.

The significance and purpose of this work is to provide a user friendly support for the
existing car jack in order to make the operation easier, safer and more reliable in order to
reduce health risks. The designed kit will also save time and requires less human energy to
operate.

Introduction

1.1. Background of Project

Wheel changing is a tedious process that requires a lot of manual force to change the wheel,
when it get flat. In various scenarios it has been seen that people found themselves
physically incapable of doing such kind of job when it comes to one. Also, especially
women and people with senile disorders feel uncomfortable to do a job which requires a
lot of manual force.

Medical researches has shown that whenever a person is exposed in any scenario where
he/she has to show extensive muscle movements to meet external force/stress, then there is
a lot of chance that the muscles might get damaged or may be a serious injury can be
prevailed because of the process.

As an Engineer it is our duty to provide new technology to the society for the betterment
of them, but also it is our concerns too to seek the need of reduction of human efforts in the
places where health of a human is exposed to certain risks.

Components used in Wheel changing process:

 Screw Jack/Scissor Jack

 Spanner / Torque Wrench / Impact Wrench

1.2. About the Screw Jack

Screw Jack are the mechanical device that are used to lift or lower the weight with minimum
power requirement. A screw jack works on the principal of inclined plane motion of an
object where heavy amount of load can be moved from one location to another with
introduction of correct amount of torque and inclined angle.

In modern jacks, a lead screw is used to produce relative motion between two ends of a
closed linkage, in which one link is fixed while the other can move freely. This movement

1
of the mechanism is been controlled with proper tuning of the threads in clockwise and
anti-clockwise motion.

In today’s world a screw jack is been used in all parts of the industry but the most common
application of a jack is found in automobile where it is been used in changing the wheel is
required. By the help of the screw jack a person can lift his car and change the wheel well
efficiently. Also it is a major point that the

Car jacks usually use toggle advantage to allow a human to lift a vehicle by manual force
alone. More powerful jacks use hydraulic power to provide more lift over greater
distances.

 Toggle jacks are usually rated for maximum lifting capacity.

 There is a one screw in the toggle jack which is rotating.
 There are two nuts which is fixed.
 There are four links connected to both nuts and eight pins to fix all links.
 There are two rings at both ends of the screw.
 There is a one platform which is connected to the upper two links for put load.

Working of toggle jack

 The jack can be raised and lowered with a metal bar that is inserted into the jack.
 The operator turns the bar with his hands in a clockwise direction for makes it go
up.
 When the screw lifts the load on the platform which placed above will also be raised.
 The bar is turned until the jack is raised to the level needed.
 To lower the jack the bar is turned in the opposite direction.

1.3. About impact wrench

Torque multipliers are handheld, air driven, non-impacting torque delivery tools intended
to tighten and loosen nuts, bolts and threaded fasteners. The pressure is controlled using an
external air pressure regulator. Whilst in operation the reaction arm on a torque multiplier
rotates in the opposite direction to the output square drive and must be allowed to rest
squarely against a solid object or surface adjacent to the bolt to be tightened or loosened.

2
This reaction allows the torque to be applied. Once the required torque is achieved the tool
stalls and no further tightening is possible.

Known torque-responsive power screw drivers which are driven by electric motors or
pneumatically have a relatively high speed of rotation in order to obtain a short screwing
in time. Since the maximum moment of tension for the screw to be screwed requires a
determined torque, the driving power of the screw driver must likewise be made high in
accordance with the relatively high speed of rotation, although a high torque is required for
only a short time during the tightening of the screw, unless some shock action is utilized
for the purpose of producing this peak degree. The limitation of the degree of tightening of
the screw is usually effected by means of ratchet couplings or striking mechanism. When
screwing in expansion screws, this degree of tightening must be kept constant within very
narrow, since these screws, are stressed almost to their yield point during screwing in.
Torque-responsive screwing drivers having a shock effects are useless for this purpose. The
degree of

tightening achieved is greatly dependent on the number of blows applied, which however
cannot be kept constant because of the rapid succession of blows, while in addition the
power of the individual blow is variable within wide limits because of the indeterminable
reaction of work piece, screw and screwing tool on the striking operation. In addition, the
shock effect causes rapid wear on the striking surface, which results in a considerable
variation of the face of the blows and a relatively short life of the screwdriver. Torque-
responsive screwdrivers having striking mechanisms are impractical where accurate
tensioning of a screw is necessary. It has moreover been found that, at the high speeds used,
ratchet couplings also apply a powerful shock action and are therefore likewise unsuitable
for tightening expansion screws

1.4. Statement of the problem

During the study for the project, we got acknowledged to various scenarios, where, because
of manual wheel changing system a lot of people have been injured. Also, it is a
recognizable factor that people found themselves helpless when they are exposed to such
conditions. So, by this project we are aimed to reduce the human efforts in changing a
wheel.

1.5. Aims and objectives of the study

The main objective of this project is to design a motorized screw jack. Other specific
objectives are-

 To fabricate a cost effective Kit to operate Screw Jack available in the car (provided
by manufacturer), without any additional add-on to the jack.

Literature Review

1.1. Literature Review based on various research paper

Rout ET. Al. [1] during the research found that mostly some difficult methods were
adopted in lifting the vehicles for reconditioning, repair and maintenance. Fabricated model
has mainly concentrated on this difficulty, and hence a suitable device must be designed,
such that the vehicle and heavy objects can be lifted from floor land without the application
of impact force. Such a jack should be light enough and be compact enough so that it can
be stored in an automobile trunk, can be lifted up and carried by most adults to its position
of use, and yet be capable of lifting a wheel of a 4000-5000 pound vehicle off the ground.
Further, it should be stable and easily controllable by a switch so that jacking can be done
from a position of safety. It should be easily movable either to a position underneath the
axle of the vehicle or some other reinforced support surface designed to be engaged by a
jack. Thus, the product has been developed considering all the above requirements. This
particular design of motorized automated object lifting jack has resulted to prove to be
beneficial in lifting and lowering of heavy loads.

Pawar ET. Al. [2] during the research found that Available car jacks are typically manually
operated and therefore require more physical effort on the part of the user. Such jacks
creates difficulties for the elderly, handicapped, and women’s. Disadvantageous in bad
weather conditions. The low degree of safety leads to the cause of accident or sudden failure
in the jacks. The researchers proposed the design to be automated to reduce human effort
while operating jack. The design proposed include control system so that jacking can be
done from a position of safety. It was easily movable and other support surface is not
required. Thus, the design has been developed considering all the above requirements. This
is the beneficial in lifting and lowering of loads.

Yadav ET. AL. [3] stated that most of the present day resources of energy are limited and
irreplaceable and next generation will face acute energy crisis if alternate resources of
energy are not developed concurrently. They found that in today’s developing world, the
extent of automation is obviously the foremost focus of engineers. Screw jack is a device
which is used to lift and support a heavy load in automotive vehicles, such as a car. The

5
research successfully developed a solar operated push button type Screw Jack. During
Research they putted automated toggle screw jack is put under various force analysis so
that its performance criterion will not fail in operation. The result of the research are: A
mathematical model was framed to estimate the power requirement at various loading
conditions & the model worked effectively in wide range of loading conditions to estimate
the power requirement and experimentally validated.

Maniamramasamy ET. AL. [4]during the research pointed that the recent decades
maintenance in automobile engineering become a challenging task among the engineers,
so it is found that, saving economy has become the task of highest priority in our generation.
Design modification of existing product allows the work as much as easier than the
previous model. In their work, they fabricated a model of motorized screw jack to reduce
the power consumptions and to decrease the human effort. Result of the research was they
found that motorized power jack can be widely used in low cost automation in
manufacturing industries. By their model weight lifting is quick and effortless, which
reduces the physical fatigue (tiredness) felt by the worker.

Akinwonmi ET. AL. [5] designed a power screw by considering the problems associated
with Ergonomics - which is a fundamental concept of design process. The main advantages
of the modified design over the existing design are that the modified designed motorized
jack will save time, be faster and easier to operate and requires less human energy and
additional work to operate. There by effectively curb the problems associated with
Ergonomics - which is a fundamental concept of design process. The result after the project
was very effective and problems related to human body posture and health issues are
resolved.

Lucia et. al. [6] during their design of an impact wrench acknowledged the fact that the
wrench mechanism is a complex system and it requires a lot of manual power to tighten or
open the bolt. They in their model of the electronic impact wrench introduced an improved
design to reduce the manual heath and work risks and also to overcome the problem of
automation in the working.

1.2. Suggestions based on Literature Review

On the basis of following we have inferred that the existing designs of designs of
automation in Screw Jack are requires to have alignment issues in transporting power form

6
motor to the lead screw and also we have acknowledge the fact that these designs contains
permanent fixtures of motor and screw jack arrangements. So for the design of our project
“Design and Fabrication of Wheel Changing Kit” we have noticed some issues that must
be answered for better mechanism.

 Removable fixture for motor and lead screw arrangement

 Design of a removable linkage model so that the jack can be used both manually and
by the action of machine power
 Compatibility of the project with existing screw jacks available in the car
 Utilization of car battery and charging point power source
 Keeping the cost of production and supplies to be minimum

3.1.3. Switches

A switch is used in order to start or stop the entire operation of the screw jack. The type of
switch that is used is known as a toggle switch. A toggle switch is a class of electrical
switches that are manually actuated by a mechanical lever, handle, or rocking mechanism.
[8]

3.1.4. Control cables

Are used in order to connect the battery to the motor and the switch. A base for the entire
set-up has also been used. The motor is mounted on an inverted U shaped support frame.

3.1.5. D.C. Adapter

9
An AC adapter is a type of external power supply, often enclosed in a case similar to an AC
plug. Adapters for battery-powered equipment may be described as chargers or rechargers.
AC adapters are used with electrical devices that require power but do not contain internal
components to derive the required voltage and power from mains power. The internal
circuitry of an external power supply is very similar to the design that would be used for a
built-in or internal supply.

External power supplies are used both with equipment with no other source of power and
with battery-powered equipment, where the supply, when plugged in, can sometimes
charge the battery in addition to powering the equipment.

3.1.6. Nut opening Socket

Sockets are available in various depths or lengths, often divided by most manufacturers
into two categories of "standard" and "deep" according to the ANSI or DIN standard they
are made to and the tolerances allowed by those specifications for each length of socket.
Because the standards allow for some flexibility in tolerances, it is common to see two
manufacturers make deep sockets of the same size but with slightly different depths even
though both meet the same specification. Standard length, otherwise known as "shallow"
sockets, have a lower profile and allow a user to access nuts in narrow spaces. Deep sockets
are useful for turning nuts onto bolts when the bolt extends upwards into the socket (as in
the case of many bolted joints), a very typical example being exhaust clamp bolts on a car.

10
 Figure 3. A set of Socket [10]

3.1.7. Impact Mechanism

The impact mechanism is a mechanical add-on device that is used in wrenches and other
mechanical machines where heavy toque is required to initiate the mechanism. The
mechanism consists of a device that triggers the rotational motion provided by a low torque
source to a higher impact based torque.

3.4. Coefficient of Friction

It has been found that the coefficient of friction (μ) at the thread surface depends upon the
workmanship in cutting the threads and on the type of the lubricant. It is practically
independent of the load, rubbing velocity or materials. An average of 0.15 can be taken for
the coefficient of friction, when the screw is lubricated with mineral oil.

3.5. Loads and Stresses in Screw

The load on the screw is the load which is to be lifted W, twisting moment M, between the
screw threads and force F at the handle to rotate the screw. The load W is compressive in
nature and induces the compressive stress in the screw. It may also lead the screw to buckle.
The load F produces bending and it is maximum, when the screw is at its maximum lift.
The screw also experiences twisting moment due to F. the shear stress is also induced in
the screw due to the twisting moment between the threads of screw and nut.

Fabrication and Testing

4.1. Fabrication of Various components:

For the project following minor/major components are designed and fabricate specifically
to meet the project requirements

 Linking-Section to link motor shaft and screw Jack: This section is used to link the
shaft of the motor to the screw jack. The purpose of this jack is to remove any permanent
linkage between the motor and the jack to improve the effectiveness of the motor and
to use the motor for various other functions.

 Impact Wrench: The impact wrench is used to remove and tight the nuts in the wheel.
In general automobile, the nuts in a wheel are tighten with a huge force, order of more

24
 than 250N.m. that much of force can’t be obtained by the use of general motor shaft
arrangement. For the development of force we use impact force arrangement. That
means we strike the nuts with huge impact so that it gets loose or tight.

 Screw Jack and arrangement to support the C-Section: this type of arrangement is
very essential to support the C-Section for better transmission of power from the shaft
of motor to the screw threads of the jack.

Result and Discussion

5.1. Results:

The project “Design and Fabrication of Automatic Wheel changing kit” has been fabricated
and final testing has been done using real world scenarios. In the testing mode, we have
applied the actual load of a Maruti Suzuki Alto. The jack has successfully uplifted the
automobile without any problem.

2. Maruti Suzuki Alto 750 kg 450 Sec 360 sec

3. Tata Nano 600 420 Sec 360 sec

5.2. Discussion:

The project “Design and Fabrication of Wheel Changing Kit” is an automation of available
car jacks provided by the manufacturers, without any manufacturing updation of the design
of the project. Also, it is found that the project can work proficiently with the working
capacities of the Car Jack (Toggle/Scissor Jack). The project is not producing any extra
amount of thrust on the user and is cost effective as only some components are going to be
add-on to the existing design (with comparison to other electronic screw jacks [13]
available in the market).

The other part of the project i.e., Nut tightening and opening socket is been fabricated on
the design of an impact wrench and the mechanism is working under the real world scenario
with sufficient supply of driving torque to both open and tight the nuts to case the wheel.

29
The project is working by extruding power of the available Car Batteries and haven’t shown
any significant power depletion in the car battery.
