Chapter : 1 : INTRODUCTION
Effective cleaning and sanitizing helps and protect the health of the human beings directly and
indirectly. Also, cleaning and sanitizing prevents the pest infestations by reducing residues that
can attract and support bees, pests etc. It also improves the shelf life of the floor, walls etc. due
to regular cleaning and maintenance. In recent years, most of the people prefer to use trains or
buses for commuting and hence these places are littered with biscuits covers, cold drink bottles
etc. Hence, it is necessary to clean the bus stands and railways stations at regular interval. There
is no one single cleaning method that is suitable for all locations and occasions and effective
cleaning depends upon type of cleaning device, cleaning technique and also the equipment should
be user friendly.
Cleaning work can be physically demanding and a need has been identified to
developed methods for systematic ergonomic evaluation of new products. In recent years, floor
cleaning robots are getting more popular for busy and aging populations due to lack of workers.
However in India, unemployment is more and hence there is a need to develop less labor oriented
cleaning machine. Hence, the present work is aimed to design, development and evaluation of a
manually operated road cleaning machine.
Evaluation has shown how the use of multiple assessment techniques can
provide a comprehensive appraisal of the design, usability and musculoskeletal loading upon the
operator. They suggested that the trials with a larger number of subjects would certainly
strengthen the conclusions.
1) Manual process
2) Machinated process
1.1.1: Manual Process- In manual process, the road cleaning is done with the help of and
shovel to clean off the debris, waste etc. hand to clean the road by spreading the dust all over in
the air. While in the Machinated process, a vehicle containing broom at bottom continuously
rotating, clean the road as well as sucks the dust spread by rotating broom. If one carefully
observes the first process, then he could find the following limitations which are given below:-
1. This process renders fatigue to the hand and even it cause damage to the shoulder.
1.1.2: Machinated Process- On the other side, in the second process following limitations have
been found out, which are discussed below:-
2. The cost of machine is quite high cost and the rural people could not afford it to buy.
1. Firstly, the complete market review and literature survey based on the Road Cleaning
processes been done.
2. On the basis of the demand power the machine component are designed.
3. On the basis of obtained designed dimensions the fabrication work of the proposed
manually operated road cleaning machine is carried out.
4. At last, the testing and trails have been taken to ascertain the load capacity of the
machine.
1) Remove the dust from road by the use of scrubber which is operated by using engine.
2) Cleaning of dust and durt by use of brush. 3)
Collecting the dust into the collector tank.
This cleanliness can be achieved by utilizing all the functions of the road cleaner
to the optimum level. The basic idea is to generate a machine which works on basic principles of
physics, using mechanical, automobile components and devices. Making an assembly of the
components and ultimately creating a machine which can be the answer to various cleaning issues
in a single unit.
Road cleaning machines or floor cleaning machines are used in private as well as
commercial area such as hospitals, bus stand, malls, lawns, floors etc. Many of these devices
required high amount of electricity or fuel like petrol diesel for their operation. They produce
enough pollution to pollute environment. So in order to save energy and save nature, it is need to
develop low cost, user friendly road cleaning machine. Our focus is to develop a machine which
should be operated manually so that it can be alternative for conventional electric road cleaning
machine. In this work we have done modeling and analysis of the road cleaning machine. We
used such type of materials for manufacturing of road cleaning machine finally. We have
observed that all the components are with in safe limit in the manually operated road cleaning
machine.
Indian road transport has come up as a fast growing and profit making organization.
Connectivity between towns, cities and different areas is an essential component in the
development of a Nation. Dirty roads lead to uncomfortable for the passengers. India has a road
network of over 5,472,144 kilometers (3,400,233 mi) as on 31 March 2015, the second largest
road network in the world. However, qualitatively India's roads are a mix of modern highways
and narrow, unpaved roads, and are being improved. The pavement management system and the
systematic approach contained in this are not adequately implemented for repairs and
rehabilitation. Non compliance result into heavy losses, discomfort, Mechanical damages in
vehicles and loss of man hours. In many cases the high speed corridor pavements have failed
prematurely in the absence of adequate maintenance during the design life itself. This triggers
the need for an automated machine which can remove the wastes in an easier and efficient way.
Our project aims at developing a Modern road cleaning vehicle that can clean the waste particles
lying in the roads effectively which provides clean roads. The vehicle is operated with the help
of dual power i.e. solar power and battery. Thus Eco friendly environment can be obtained by
the Modern cleaning vehicle because of the harmless energy sources.
Chapter 2 : LITERATURE REVIEWS
“Design and Analysis of Manually Operated Floor Cleaning Machine”- The authors has been
designed and analyzed manually operated floor cleaning machine. From his research he
concluded the stress level in the manually operated machine is within the safe limit.
“Design and Development of Tricycle Operated Street Cleaning Machine” – He has developed
the street cleaning machine by tricycle operated. In this research article he framed a model
especially for rural area. He concluded that the cleaning is less effective where the street seems
to be very rough and damaged.
1) It is found that the existing street cleaning machines uses petrol and diesel. It can cause
pollution and also the vibration produced in the machine causes noise pollution. While
manual cleaning may cause health problem as the person directly comes in contact with
dust. Also, the shoulder problem due to continuously sweeping occurs.
2) A tricycle operated street cleaning machine seems an alternative concept for avoiding
such problems enlisted in first point.
3) The tricycle operated machine can work very efficiently with respect to covering area,
time and cost of street cleaning process compared with the existing machineries. Also it
is economical.
4) It was seen while testing of machine, that the cleaning is less effective where the street
seems to be very rough and damaged.

“Design & Analysis of Manually Operated Eco-Friendly Road Cleaner”. He has developed the
manually operated eco-friendly road cleaner. In this he conclude that while testing of machine,
that the cleaning is less effective where the road seems to be very rough and damaged. It can
provide job to the uneducated person who is in need for such jobs as human energy is needed to
drive the machine. The manually operated eco-friendly road cleaner is successfully designed,
analyzed and fabricated. This project works implements the manually operated eco-friendly road
cleaner for road cleaning that reducing the cost, human efforts as well as time. It is the best
alternative for automated road cleaning machine during power crisis. It is found that the existing
road cleaning machines uses petrol and diesel. It can cause pollution and also the vibration
produced in the machine causes noise pollution. While manual cleaning may cause healthy
problem as the person directly comes in contact with dust. Also, the shoulder problem due to
continuously sweeping occurs. A manually operated eco-friendly road cleaner is an alternative
concept for avoiding such problems. The manually operated eco-friendly road cleaner can work
very efficiently with respect to covering area, time and cost of road cleaning process compared
with the existing machineries. Also it is economical.
“Multipurpose Floor Cleaning Machine”. He reported that the multiple applications provide a
wide range of functions in which we can clean the pipe, scrubbing of surface for proper cleaning
of the floor, remove dust and dirt from the road, provide a pick and place mechanism by which
obstacles can be removed. This project is very helpful for the society and play a vital role in
cleanliness of the country. The main motive of the project is to cover the aspects of cleanliness
in the society. The multiple applications provide a wide range of functions in which we can clean
the pipe, scrubbing of surface for proper cleaning of the floor. This project is very helpful for the
society and play a vital role in cleanliness of the country.
“Design and Development of Cleaning System”. In project a mechanical setup is designed with
the synergies of pneumatics and electronics to provide efficient cleaning system both at ground
and as well as window levels. This contemporary design helps to overcome the limitations of the
existing technologies and surpass them in terms of robot capability, modularity and payload. By
integrating on the modular design the wall climbing robot are expected to attain superior
intelligence to other small robots in similar caliber.

“Automatic Floor Cleaner”. In this project she conclude that the setup of hardware with a
combination of software gives better accuracy and reduces the work load. Man power is
minimized. It have Low cost. It is a Time Consuming Device Making a small machine brings a
flexibility to do work.
“Design and Development of Floor Cleaner (Automatic and Manual)”. He reported that the
project research facilitates an efficient floor cleaning with sweeping and mopping operations.
This robot works in two modes automatic and manual for user convenience. This proposed work
provides the hurdle detection in case of any obstacle that comes in its way.
RF modules provide wireless communication between remote and robot and their
range is 50m. If there is hurdle in the way of machine. An automatic water sprayer is attached
which sprays water for mopping purpose for the convenience of user. User can also operate this
robot manually with the help of remote. It reduces the labor cost and saves time also and provides
efficient cleaning. In automatic mode, the machine operates autonomously. The operations such
as sweeping, mopping and changing the path in case of hurdle are performed automatically.
Nonetheless, there are still new ideas to improve the developed system and to add new
functionality to it. Instead of RF module, X bee pro series module can be used to improve the
range of wireless communication. GSM module can be used to send message that, the robot has
done the cleaning task. Camera can be used for navigation purposes. Cleaning can also be done
with sweeping and mopping. Further, the robot can be made to move randomly in any direction
and its speed can be controlled.
“Automatic Floor Cleaner”. This research facilitates efficient floor cleaning. Since in project the
floor cleaner is incorporated with different devices like DC motor(s), ultrasonic sensors etc., so
it will be easy to handle it also saves time and will work automatically for cleaning purpose at
homes and offices.
With simple algorithm and program, the cleaner will be able to cover large floor
areas as well as find its way into and out of small corners. As the cleaner traverses the room, the
sweeper installed in it will manage to pick up a significant amount of dirt. Manual Sweeping
might not be that effective as it will not be picking up everything in as it is not in sight but using
the automatic floor cleaner it can be done easily. This research facilitates efficient floor cleaning.

Roads sweeping, either manual or mechanical, has been a normal operation for most
municipalities for hundreds of years with aesthetics and sanitation purposes. Therefore
investigation on street sweepers efficiency have been focused on the minimization of transport
of pollutants (PAH, metals) to receiving waters. Currently, street sweeper types fall into three
main categories: mechanical broom, vacuum-assisted broom and regenerative-air units.
Schilling (2005) provides a list of sweeper manufacturers for US, available models and common
specifications for such equipment. Assisted and regenerative air sweepers are generally better
than mechanical sweepers at removing finer sediments, while mechanical sweepers are better at
removing larger debris (FHWA 2007). The cleaner was invented by Hubert of England in 1901.
As Booth after decades later, that year he attended "a demonstration of an American machine by
its inventor" at the Empire Music Hall in London.
The cleaner was invented by Hubert of England in 1901. As Booth after decades
later, that year he attended "a demonstration of an American machine by its inventor" at the
Empire Music Hall in London.
The inventor is not named, but Booth's description of the machine conforms fairly
closely to Thurman's design, as modified in later. Booth watched a demonstration of the device,
which blew dust off the chairs, and thought that " if the system could be reversed, and a filter
inserted between the suction apparatus and the outside air, whereby the dust would be retained
in a receptacle, the real solution of the hygienic removal of dust would be obtained." He tested
the idea by laying a handkerchief on the seat of a restaurant chair, putting his mouth to the
handkerchief, and then trying to suck up as much dust as he could onto the handkerchief. Upon
seeing the dust and dirt collected on the downside of the handkerchief, he realized the idea could
work. A hand-powered pneumatic vacuum cleaner was designed in 1910. An early electric-
powered model is also shown.
The first cleaning device to be portable and marketed at the domestic market was
builtin 1905 by Walter Griffiths, a manufacturer in Birmingham, England. His Griffith's
Improved Vacuum Apparatus for Removing Dust from Carpets resembled modern-day cleaners;
– it was portable, easy to store, and powered by "any one, who would have the task of
compressing a bellows-like contraption to suck up dust through a removable, flexible pipe, to
which a variety of shaped nozzles could be attached. In 1906 James Kirby developed his first of
many vacuums called the "Domestic Cyclone" It used water for dirt separation. Electric cleaner
by Electric Suction Sweeper Company, circa 1908.
Moreover the residual sediments left by the ISS were constant, independently from
the initial load. With respect to the initial PM10 load, the emission, at the head of the venturi
scrubber was within 2-40%, with an average of 10%. No evaluations were made on air quality.
Captive Hydrology technique was developed to clean airport pavement surfaces
(http://buyersguide.dsvr.co.uk/ profiles/a/associated asphalt/ or http:// www. veegservice.nl/).
The pick-up heads may include a high-pressure washer system followed by intensive pressure.
Relatively small amounts of water are entrained leaving a nearly dry pavement
surface. Water is recycled within the machine. Mobility is a big advantage, as cleaning can be
done where and when needed. A captive hydrology machine is currently being used as the
pollutant control device for the controversial Cross Israel Highway. The initial application of this
technology was for airport runway resurfacing (rubber and paint removal) to increase skid
resistance and industrial applications where very clean surfaces are required. The City of
Olympia (Washington) has included it in its 2005 budget (Olympia, City of., 2005). However the
Captive Hydrology technique has yet to be reported extensively for routine worn surfaces with
cracks and uneven sections. The units have a high capital cost. In Nevada local protocols establish
to remove residual abrasive within four days following the drying out of the road surface; during
one of these intervals Gertler et al., (2006) could compare emission potential before and after
broom sweeping event. They found a slight increase of PM10 emissions after the road sweeping.
For PM2.5, there was a more dramatic increase after sweeping (from 133 to 211mg/km). These
results are consistent with the study conducted in Idaho by Kuhn‘s et al. (2003), where the
authors found by means of TRAKER (testing re-entrained aerosol kinetic emission from road)
an unexpected mean increase of 16% of emission potential after a road sweeping and even if
authors indicated a possible displacement of dust, from the curb to the active lane, induced by
the sweeper. They outlined the importance of considering, beside a negative effect on the short
term, a long term effect of sweeping. Indeed although the sweepers are ineffective for reducing
PM10 road dust emissions in the short term, it may be premature to conclude that street sweeping
has no effect on the urban scale PM10 emission inventory. If street sweeping can remove large
particles, that may evolve into PM10, then sweeping may have a beneficial effect on air quality
over the long term. This mechanism, not examined by the studies reviewed, should be studied
since it may have important implications for the effectiveness of street sweeping programs in
PM10 emission reduction.
Schlesinger et al. (2006) indicated that transition metals such as Cu, Zn, Fe, Ni, Cr
and Mn, which may act as redox compounds, are likely related to PM toxicity. Moreover coarse
particles can elicit inflammatory effects (Schins et al., 2004; Schwarze et al., 2007).
Association between high levels of coarse man-made particles and daily mortality in
Barcelona (Spain) has been shown by L. Perez et al. (2008) who also found a worsening during
outbreaks of Saharan dust. In a more recent work L. Perez et al. (2009) found that cardiovascular
and cerebrovascular mortality were associated with increased levels of both PM1 and PM2.5–10.
De Kok et al. (2006) found a positive correlation between the cytotoxicity of TSP
and the sum of transition metal concentrations. A recent study in Sweden, found that PM10
generated by erosion of road pavement by studded tires provoked an inflammatory responses in
cells as potent as the response caused by diesel particles (Gustafsson et al., 2008). Comparisons
of six European cities (Jalava et al., 2007, 2008; Happo et al., 2007) evaluated the cytotoxic and
inflammatory activities of atmospheric PM in contrasting air pollution scenarios. Coarse
particles showed higher inflammatory effect than the other PM size fractions, especially in
Southern Europe. This high activity for these samples was attributed to the lack of rain, which
may account for the poor washout of road dust and the consequent accumulation of coarse PM
(with high levels of brake pads metals) on the road pavement.
British inventor has developed a new cleaning technology known as Air Recycling
Technology, which, instead of using a vacuum, uses an air stream to collect dust from the carpet.
This technology was tested by the Market Transformation Programmer (MTP) and shown to be
more energy-efficient than the vacuum method. Although working prototypes exist, Air
Recycling Technology is not currently used in any production cleaner. In India, road is cleaned
by hand using different handmade instruments. Initially it was washed by different reed brushes.
According to Egyptian houses were built of sundried mud bricks at times white-washed and the
roads were stamped earth. The road of the outdoor kitchen too was simply the ground baked
stone hard by the sun. Unless it was raining, which happened only rarely, these roads were easy
to keep clean by sweeping. Nowadays, India is very fast developing country. The major profit of
making organization of India is Indian Road Transport. There is still a lot of efforts are
implemented to clean the road for its maintenance. Also, some people are irresponsible. They
through garbage, wrappers, plastic bottles, waste on roads. So, it is very necessary to remove
waste from road. When maintenance of road is to be done, some workers especially women are
allotted to sweep the road. They clean the road conventionally like sweeping. While sweeping,
there is more chance of spreading of air born diseases like cough, asthma, problem in respiration
etc.
The running cost of machine is low and initial cost of machine is covered by saving
of workers salary. It can be recovered within in one or one and half year. The divider side cleaner
requires only one worker for handling.
Figure 2.1 Working of more labours in dust cleaning
Cleaning is a necessary factor of daily routine process. Effective cleaning and sanitizing help and
protect the health of human beings directly and indirectly. The Road cleaner is used to keep our
surroundings clean. So that we feel fresh while walking on the streets. Generally, in the era of
modern technology, different devices such as electric motors, diesel engines, and robots are being
used to clean the floor, road. But such processes create abundant pollution, maintenance and are
very tough to carry out. So, in order to save energy and save nature, there is a need to develop,
user-friendly road and floor cleaning machine. A machine which should be operated manually
so that it can be as an alternative for conventional electric cleaning machine. The dust cleaning
machine system is fixed with a pair of wheels which are connected with the help of shaft. The
shaft makes the wheels connected to one and other. The wheels are moved to the desired position
with the help of manual force, which can handle is provided to move. The handle can be adjusted
for a required height and are provided three adjusting holes for it. A chain drive is connected to
the wheels and gear at each side. The chain is moved according to the wheel and gear. The brush
moving the alternative direction of the wheels move and the brush brooms the waste present on
the road also it dumps the waste into the waste-collecting box. The waste collection box is
removed to dump the waste into desired places.
Digital sculpting – Still a fairly new method of modeling, 3D sculpting has become very popular
in the few years it has been around.[citation needed] There are currently three types of digital
sculpting: Displacement, which is the most widely used among applications at this moment, uses
a dense model (often generated by subdivision surfaces of a polygon control mesh) and stores
new locations for the vertex positions through use of an image map that stores the adjusted
locations. Volumetric, loosely based on voxels, has similar capabilities as displacement but does
not suffer from polygon stretching when there are not enough polygons in a region to achieve a
deformation. Dynamic tessellation is similar to voxel but divides the surface using triangulation
to maintain a smooth surface and allow finer details. These methods allow for very artistic
exploration as the model will have a new topology created over it once the models form and
possibly details have been sculpted. The new mesh will usually have the original high resolution
mesh information transferred into displacement data or normal map data if for a game engine.
3D models can also be created using the technique of Photogrammetry with dedicated
programs such as Reality Capture, Metashape, 3DF Zephyr, and Meshroom, and cleanup
applications such as MeshLab, netfabb or MeshMixer. Photogrammetry creates models using
algorithms to interpret the shape and texture of real-world objects and environments based on
photographs taken from many angles of the subject.
Complex materials such as blowing sand, clouds, and liquid sprays are modeled with
particle systems, and are a mass of 3D coordinates which have either points, polygons, texture
splats, or sprites assigned to them. The three dimensional structure are required for the making
of design of manually operated eco friendly road cleaning machine. On this basis we can
decides the length and height of frame work. So we are properly maintains the design by this
modeling.
3.1.1 TESTING:
3D solid models can be tested in different ways depending on what is needed by
using simulation, mechanism design, and analysis. If a motor is designed and assembled correctly
(this can be done differently depending on what 3D modeling program is being used), using the
mechanism tool the user should be able to tell if the motor or machine is assembled correctly by
how it operates.
Different design will need to be tested in different ways. For example; a pool pump
would need a simulation ran of the water running through the pump to see how the water flows
through the pump. These tests verify if a product is developed correctly or if it needs to be
modified to meet its requirements.
SOLIDWORKS focuses on quickly creating 3D solid models of your design,
rapidly creating both complex parts and assemblies on screen in 3D as oppose to flat 2D drawings
which in turn leads to:
• Faster design development and detailing.
• Improved visualisation and communication.
• Assess design functionality and performance prior to prototype production.
• Auto generated manufacturing data for 3D solid models which use programming
CNC machine tools and rapid prototyping equipment.
With all drawing views generated from the original 3D model SOLIDWORKS ensures any
amendments made to the model are automatically updated within the drawing. This automatic
associativity guarantees your solid model is always accurately reflected within in your drawings.
SOLIDWORKS 3D solid modeling features enable you to:
• Produce 3D solid models of any part and assembly, regardless of size and complexity.
• Synchronise all 3D models, 2D drawings and other design and manufacturing
documents thanks to inbuilt associativity which automatically tracks for any changes
and makes updates.
• Quickly amend designs by controlling key design parameters.
• Create surfacing for any 3D geometry regardless of complexity or stylisation.
• Produce in depth 3D model analysis instantly on an extensive range of properties:
mass, density, moments of inertia.

3.3.1 WHEEL:
A circular object that revolves on an axle and is fixed below a vehicle or other object to enable
it to move easily over the ground. In its primitive form, a wheel is a circular block of a hard and
durable material at whose center has been bored a circular hole through which is placed an axle
bearing about which the wheel rotates when a moment is applied by gravity or torque to the wheel
about its axis, thereby making together one of the six simple machines.
When placed vertically under a load-bearing platform or case, the wheel turning
on the horizontal axle makes it possible to transport heavy loads; when placed horizontally, the
wheel turning on its vertical axle makes it possible to control the spinning motion used to shape
materials (e.g. a potter's wheel); when mounted on a column connected to a rudder or a chassis
mounted on other wheels, one can control the direction of a vessel or vehicle (e.g. a ship's wheel
or steering wheel); when connected to a crank or engine, a wheel can store, release, or transmit
energy (e.g. the flywheel).
3.3.1 MECHANICS AND FUCTION OF WHEEL :
The wheel was barely used, with the exception of the Horn of Africa, in sub-saharn
Africa well into the 19th century but this changed with the arrival of the Europeans.
The spoked wheel was in continued use without major modification
until1870s,when wire- spoked wheels and pneumatic tires were invented. . Some of mechanics
function are listed below:
Figure 3.3.1 : Wheel
• If a 100 kg object is dragged for 10 m along a surface with the coefficient of friction μ = 0.5,
the normal force is 981 N and the work done (required energy) is (work=force x distance)
981 × 0.5 × 10 = 4905 joules.
Now give the object 4 wheels. The normal force between the 4 wheels and axles is the same (in
total) 981 N. Assume, for wood, μ = 0.25, and say the wheel diameter is 1000 mm and axle
diameter is 50 mm. So while the object still moves 10 m the sliding frictional surfaces only slide
over each other a distance of 0.5 m. The work done is 981 × 0.25 × 0.5 = 123 joules; the work
done has reduced to 1/40 of that of dragging.
Additional energy is lost from the wheel-to-road interface. This is termed rolling
resistance which is predominantly a deformation loss. This energy is also lowered by the use of
a wheel (in comparison to dragging) because the net force on the contact point between the road
and the wheel is almost perpendicular to the ground, and hence, generates an almost zero net
work. This depends on the nature of the ground, of the material of the wheel, its inflation in the
case of a tire, the net torque exerted by the eventual engine, and many other factors.
A wheel can also offer advantages in traversing irregular surfaces if the wheel radius
is sufficiently large compared to the irregularities.
The wheel alone is not a machine, but when attached to an axle in conjunction with
bearing, it forms the wheel and axle, one of the simple machines. A driven wheel is an example
of a wheel and axle.
Construction
This article is about structure of wheel. For making of wire-spoked wheels, see Wheel building.
For making of non-wire spoked wheels, see Wheel construction.
Rim- An aluminium alloy wheel. Which is the "outer edge of a wheel, holding the tire." It
makes up the outer circular design of the wheel on which the inside edge of the tire is mounted
on vehicles such as automobiles.
Hub- The hub is the center of the wheel, and typically houses a bearing, and is where the spokes
meet. A hubless wheel (also known as a rim-rider or centerless wheel) is a type of wheel with no
center hub. More specifically, the hub is actually almost as big as the wheel itself. The axle is
hollow, following the wheel at very close tolerances.
Spokes - A spoked wheel on display at The National Museum of Iran, in Tehran. The wheel is
dated to the late 2nd millennium BC and was excavated at Choqa Zanbil. A spoke is one of some
number of rods radiating from the center of a wheel (the hub where the axle connects),
connecting the hub with the round traction surface. The term originally referred to portions of a
log which had been split lengthwise into four or six section. The wheel is prepared using this
method. The wheel is the important for drive the road cleaner machine so we prepared the wheel
firstly.
Wire - The rims of wire wheels (or "wire spoked wheels") are connected to their hubs by
wire spokes. Although these wires are generally stiffer than a typical wire rope, they function
mechanically the same as tensioned flexible wires, keeping the rim true while supporting applied
loads.Wire wheels are used on most bicycles and still used on many motorcycles. They were
invented by aeronautical engineer George Cayley and first used in bicycles by James Starley. A
process of assembling wire wheels is described as wheel building.
Tire/Tyre -A tire (in American English and Canadian English) or tyre (insome Commonwealth
Nations such as UK, India, South Africa and Australia) is a ring-shaped covering that fits around
a wheel rim to protect it and enable better vehicle performance by providing a flexible cushion
that absorbs shock while keeping the wheel in close contact with the ground. The word itself may
be derived from the word "tie," which refers to the outer steel ring part of a wooden cart wheel
that ties the wood segments together (see Etymology below).-
The fundamental materials of modern tires are synthetic rubber, natural rubber,
fabric and wire, along with other compound chemicals. They consist of a tread and a body. The
tread provides traction while the body ensures support. Before rubber was invented, the first
versions of tires were simply bands of metal that fitted around wooden wheels to prevent wear
and tear. Today, the vast majority of tires are pneumatic inflatable structures, comprising a
doughnut-shaped body of cords and wires encased in rubber and generally filled with compressed
air to form an inflatable cushion. Pneumatic tires are used on many types of vehicles, such
as cars, bicycles, motorcycles, trucks, and aircraft.
Different Types of Wheels: The different types of wheels available include conventional steel
wheels, modern alloy wheels, forged and cast wheels and chrome coated wheels.
Steel wheels have been around since the early cars were first made and are still in
common use today, although the quality and design have improved dramatically over the years.
Modern steel wheels are usually made from a pressed steel sheet that is forged into the shape
required for the rim. They are cheap to manufacture and purchase, but can cost more over the
lifetime of a vehicle as they are also relatively heavy and will use more fuel as a result.
3.3.2 SHAFT:
Shaft is a rotating machine element, usually circular in cross section, which is used to transmit
power from one part to another, or from a machine which produces power to a machine which
absorbs power.
Materials - The material used for ordinary shafts is mild steel. When high strength is required,
an alloy steel such as nickel, nickel-chromium or chromium-vanadium steel is used.
Shafts are generally formed by hot rolling and finished to size by cold drawing or
turning and grinding.
Standard sizes
Machine shafts
Up to 25 mm steps of 0.5 m
Transmission shafts
25 mm to 60 mm with 5 mm steps
60 mm to 110 mm with 10 mm steps
110 mm to 140 mm with 15 mm steps
140 mm to 500 mm with 20 mm steps
The standard lengths of the shafts are 5 m, 6 m and 7 m.
o Bending stresses (tensile or compressive) due to the forces acting upon the machine
elements like gears and pulleys as well as the self weight of the shaft.
Stresses due to combined torsional and bending loads.
3.3.3 CHAIN :
Chain is a serial assembly of connected pieces, called links, typically made of metal, with
an overall character similar to that of a rope in that it is flexible and curved in compression but
linear, rigid, and load-bearing in tension. A chain may consist of two or more links. Chains can
be classified by their design, which can be dictated by their use:
Those designed for lifting, such as when used with a hoist; for pulling; or for securing,
such as with a bicycle lock, have links that are torus shaped, which make the chain flexible in
two dimensions (the fixed third dimension being a chain's length). Small chains serving as
jewellery are a mostly decorative analogue of such types.
Those designed for transferring power in machines have links designed to mesh with the
teeth of the sprockets of the machine, and are flexible in only one dimension. They are known as
roller chains, though there are also non-roller chains such as block chain.

The metal link chain has been in use since at least 225 BC.
Chains are the measuring instrument used in surveying formed by the 100 links of 4mm
galvanized mild steel wire. These links are joined by 3 circular or oval wire rings. These rings
provide the flexibility to the chains.
Every aspect of the life requires some measuring units. Measurements are used to do
the work precisely and accurately. Let it be from kitchen to office, everywhere measurements are
used. So as in engineering calculation or measurements holds a very greater role in construction
or surveying or any other aspect.
There are various units of measurements such as meters, centimeters, feets, inches, acre,
yards and the list goes on. Same as units there are various instrument used in the measurements
of any entity. One of the instruments used in measurement are chains.
• Metric chains
• Steel band or Band chain
• Gunter’s chain or surveyor’s chain
• Engineer’s chain
• Revenue chain
A. Metric chains:
Metric chains are the most commonly used chain in India. These types of chains comes in many
lengths such as 5, 10, 20 and 30 meters. Most commonly used is 20m chain. Tallies are provided
at every 2m of the chain for quick reading. Every link of this type of chain is 0.2m. The total
length of the chain is marked on the brass handle at the ends.
D. Engineer’s chain:
This chain comes in 100ft length. Its consist of 100 links each link being 1ft long. At every 10
links a brass ring or tags are provided for indication of 10 links. Readings are taken in feet and
decimal.
E. Revenue Chain:
The standard size of this type of chain is 33ft. The number of links are 16, each link being 2 ft.
This chain is commonly used in cadastral survey.
• Personal errors
• Compensating errors, and
• Cumulating errors.
• Personal Errors.
Wrong reading, wrong recording, reading from wrong end of chain etc., are personal errors.
These errors are serious errors and cannot be detected easily. Care should be taken to avoid such
errors.
Compensating Errors:
These errors may be sometimes positive and sometimes negative. Hence, They are likely to get
compensated when large number of readings are taken. The magnitude of such errors can be
estimated by theory of probability. The following are the examples of such errors:
Cumulative Errors
The errors that occur always in the same direction are called cumulative errors. In each reading
the error may be small, but when large number of measurements are made they may be
considerable, since the error is always on one side. Examples of such errors are:
• Bad ranging.
• Bad straightening.
• Erroneous length of chain.
• Temperature variation.
• Variation in applied pull.
• Non-horizontality.
Sag in the chain, if suspended for measuring horizontal distance on a sloping ground.
Errors (i), (ii), (vi) and (vii) are always +ve since they make measured length more than actual.
Training wheels are an additional wheel or wheels mounted parallel to the rear wheel of a
machine that assist learners until they have developed a usable sense of balance on the machine.
It is defined as the engineering structure of different shapes like curved or straight. It contains
one multi-force member. The frame structure is the combination of beams, column, and slab. The
use of frame is to resist the moments which developed during the applied loading.
A frame is a rigid structure, while a machine is not rigid. This means that no part can
move relative to the other parts in a frame, while parts can move relative to one another in a
machine. Though there is a difference in vocabulary in describing frames and machines, they are
grouped together here because we use the same process to analyze both of these structures.
When we talk about analyzing frames or machines, we are usually looking to identify
both the external forces acting on the structure and the internal forces acting between members
within the structure.
The method we use to analyze frames and machines (no special name here) centers
around the process of breaking the structure down into individual components and analyzing each
component as a rigid body. Where the components are connected, Newton's Third Law states
that each body will exert an equal and opposite force on the other body. Each component will be
analyzed as an independent rigid body leading to equilibrium equations for each component, but
because of Newton's Third Law, some unknowns may show up acting on two bodies.
3.3.6 SPROCKET:
Sprocket or sprocket-wheel is a profiled wheel with teeth, or cogs, that mesh with a chain, track
or other perforated or indented material. The name 'sprocket' applies generally to any wheel upon
which radial projections engage a chain passing over it. It is distinguished from a gear in that
sprockets are never meshed together directly, and differs from a pulley in that sprockets have
teeth and pulleys are smooth except for timing pulleys used with toothed belts.
Sprockets are of various designs, a maximum of efficiency being claimed for each
by its originator. Sprockets typically do not have a flange. Some sprockets used with timing belts
have flanges to keep the timing belt centered. Sprockets and chains are also used for power
transmission from one shaft to another where slippage is not admissible, sprocket chains being
used instead of belts or ropes and sprocket-wheels instead of pulleys. They can be run at high
speed and some forms of chain are so constructed as to be noiseless even at high speed.
In the case of bicycle chains, it is possible to modify the overall gear ratio of the chain drive by
varying the diameter (and therefore, the tooth count) of the sprockets on each side of the chain.
This is the basis of derailleur gears.
Type A- Sprockets are flat and have no hub. They are usually mounted on flanges or hubs of the
device they are driving through a series of holes that are plain or tapered.
Type B- Sprockets have a hub on one side, allowing the sprocket to be fitted closely to the
machinery on which it is mounted. This eliminates a large overhung load on the bearings of the
equipment.
Type C- Sprockets are extended on both sides of the plate and usually used on the driven sprocket
where the pitch diameter is larger and where there is more weight to support on the shaft. Larger
loads should have larger hubs.
Type D- Sprockets use a type A sprocket mounted on a solid or split hub. The sprocket is split
and bolted to the hub for easy removal. Speed ratio can be changed by without having to remove
bearings and other equipment.
Types of Sprockets:
Taper-Lock Sprockets:
Taper-lock sprockets utilize a split through the taper and flange to provide a true clamp on the
shaft. A Taper-Lock bushing is retained to the sprocket with set screws. They offer flexibility by
allowing multiple sized bores for a single bushing size.
Idler sprockets are used where the chain may experience slack due to long lengths, where there
is a non-adjustable drive shaft, or where the chain has been guided around an obstruction. Using
idler sprockets prevents chain whipping and uneven load distribution.
Double Plus Sprockets:
Double plus sprockets are specifically designed to be used with Double Plus chain and is in
conveyor applications where product is moving at twice the speed of the drive system powering
the conveyor. Benefits include less noise and longer chain life.
Bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion, and
reduces friction between moving parts. The design of the bearing may, for example, provide for
free linear movement of the moving part or for free rotation around a fixed axis; or, it may prevent
a motion by controlling the vectors of normal forces that bear on the moving parts. Most bearings
facilitate the desired motion by minimizing friction.
3.3.7 BEARING:
Bearings are classified broadly according to the type of operation, the motions
allowed, or to the directions of the loads (forces) applied to the parts.
Rotary bearings hold rotating components such as shafts or axles within mechanical
systems, and transfer axial and radial loads from the source of the load to the structure supporting
it. The simplest form of bearing, the plain bearing, consists of a shaft rotating in a hole.
Lubrication is used to reduce friction. In the ball bearing and roller bearing, to reduce sliding
friction, rolling elements such as rollers or balls with a circular cross-section are located between
the races or journals of the bearing assembly. A wide variety of bearing designs exists to allow
the demands of the application to be correctly met for maximum efficiency, reliability, durability
and performance.

provide for free linear movement of the moving part or for free rotation around a fixed axis; or,

The term "bearing" is derived from the verb "to bear";a bearing being a machine element that
allows one part to bear (i.e., to support) another. The simplest bearings are bearing surfaces, cut
or formed into a part, with varying degrees of control over the form, size, roughness and location
of the surface. Other bearings are separate devices installed into a machine or machine part. The
most sophisticated bearings for the most demanding applications are very precise devices; their
manufacture requires some of the highest standards of current technology.
Drawing of Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) Study of a ball bearing. The invention of the rolling
bearing, in the form of wooden rollers supporting, or bearing, an object being moved is of great
antiquity, and may predate the invention of the wheel.
Though it is often claimed that the Egyptians used roller bearings in the form of tree
trunks under sleds, this is modern speculation. They are depicted in their own drawings in the
tomb of Djehutihotep as moving massive stone blocks on sledges with liquid-lubricated runners
which would constitute a plain bearing.
There are also Egyptian drawings of bearings used with hand drills. The earliest
recovered example of a rolling element bearing is a wooden ball bearing supporting a rotating
table from the remains of the Roman Nemi ships in Lake Nemi, Italy. The wrecks were dated to
40 BC.
The first practical caged-roller bearing was invented in the mid-1740s by horologist
John Harrison for his H3 marine timekeeper. This uses the bearing for a very limited oscillating
motion but Harrison also used a similar bearing in a truly rotary application in a contemporaneous
regulator clock.[citation needed.
Industrial Era:
The first modern recorded patent on ball bearings was awarded to Philip Vaughan, a British
inventor and ironmaster who created the first design for a ball bearing in Carmarthen in 1794.
His was the first modern ball-bearing design, with the ball running along a groove in the axle
assembly.
The term "bearing" is derived from the verb "to bear" a bearing being a machine element
that allows one part to bear (i.e., to support) another. The simplest bearings are bearing surfaces,
cut or formed into a part, with varying degrees of control over the form, size, roughness and
location of the surface. Other bearings are separate devices installed into a machine or machine
part. The most sophisticated bearings for the most demanding applications are very precise
devices; their manufacture requires some of the highest standards of current technology.
Many bearings require periodic maintenance to prevent premature failure, but many others
require little maintenance. The latter include various kinds of polymer, fluid and magnetic
bearings, as well as rolling-element bearings that are described with terms including sealed
bearing and sealed for life. These contain seals to keep the dirt out and the grease in. They work
successfully in many applications, providing maintenance-free operation. Some applications
cannot use them effectively.
Packing:
Some bearings use a thick grease for lubrication, which is pushed into the gaps
between the bearing surfaces, also known as packing. The grease is held in place by a plastic,
leather, or rubber gasket (also called a gland) that covers the inside and outside edges of the
bearing race to keep the grease from escaping.
Bearings may also be packed with other materials. Historically, the wheels on
railroad cars used sleeve bearings packed with waste or loose scraps of cotton or wool fiber
soaked in oil, then later used solid pads of cotton.
Ring oiler:
Bearings can be lubricated by a metal ring that rides loosely on the central rotating
shaft of the bearing. The ring hangs down into a chamber containing lubricating oil. As the
bearing rotates, viscous adhesion draws oil up the ring and onto the shaft, where the oil migrates
into the bearing to lubricate it. Excess oil is flung off and collects in the pool again.
Splash lubrication:
Some machines contain a pool of lubricant in the bottom, with gears partially immersed in the
liquid, or crank rods that can swing down into the pool as the device operates. The spinning
wheels fling oil into the air around them, while the crank rods slap at the surface of the oil,
splashing it randomly on the interior surfaces of the engine. Some small internal combustion
engines specifically contain special plastic flinger wheels which randomly scatter oil around the
interior of the mechanism.
Pressure lubrication:
For high speed and high power machines, a loss of lubricant can result in rapid bearing heating
and damage due to friction. Also in dirty environments the oil can become contaminated with
dust or debris that increases friction. In these applications, a fresh supply of lubricant can be
continuously supplied to the bearing and all other contact surfaces, and the excess can be
collected for filtration, cooling, and possibly reuse. Pressure oiling is commonly used in large
and complex internal combustion engines in parts of the engine where directly splashed oil cannot
reach, such as up into overhead valve assemblies. High speed turbochargers also typically require
a pressurized oil system to cool the bearings and keep them from burning up due to the heat from
the turbine.
Composite bearings:
Composite bearings are designed with a self-lubricating polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE) liner with
a laminated metal backing. The PTFE liner offers consistent, controlled friction as well as
durability whilst the metal backing ensures the composite bearing is robust and capable of
withstanding high loads and stresses throughout its long life. Its design also makes it lightweight-
one tenth the weight of a traditional rolling element bearing.
3.3.8 BRUSH:
Brushes are tools composed of bristles that are fixed into a mounting board, and, like other types
of brushes, they are elastic, flexible, and conform to irregular or flat surfaces. Due to these
features, a gutter brush can reach difficult or specific areas without damaging the bristles or the
surfaces to be swept. The wafer ring brushes and spacers from Brushtec are designed to sweep
debris from the centre of roads and they are manufactured to meet the municipal cleaning
industry’s highest standards. For durability and high performance, the wafer ring brushes are
made from either polypropylene monofilament or crimped steel wire. The range of ring brushes
are supplied in boxed kits, which allows them to be easily assembled onto the cylinder shafts of
your street sweepers. Fitted together, side-by-side, the ring brushes produce the cylinder under
chassis sweeping brush.
The function of the collecting box is to collect the waste upto some quantity after that remove
box and dump the waste.
A street sweeper or street cleaner may refer to a person's occupation, or a machine that
cleans streets. A street sweeper cleans the streets, usually in an urban area.
Street sweepers have been employed in cities as "sanitation workers"
since sanitation and waste removal became a priority. A street-sweeping person would use a
broom and shovel to clean off litter, animal waste and filth that accumulated on streets. Later,
water hoses were used to wash the streets.
Metal fabrication is the creation of metal structures by cutting, bending and assembling
processes. It is a value-added process involving the creation of machines, parts, and structures
from various raw materials.
Typically, a fabrication shop bids on a job, usually based on engineering drawings,
and if awarded the contract, builds the product. Large fab shops employ a multitude of value-
added processes, including welding, cutting, forming and machining.
As with other manufacturing processes, both human labor and automation are
commonly used. A fabricated product may be called a fabrication, and shops specializing in this
type of work are called fab shops. The end products of other common types of metalworking,
such as machining, metal stamping, forging, and casting, may be similar in shape and function,
but those processes are not classified as fabrication. Fabrication process is carried out by using
following operation as given below-
• WELDING.
• GRINDING.
• DRILLING.
• CUTTING.
In addition to melting the base metal, a filler material is typically added to the joint to
form a pool of molten material (the weld pool) that cools to form a joint that, based on weld
configuration (butt, full penetration, fillet, etc.), can be stronger than the base material (parent
metal). Pressure may also be used in conjunction with heat or by itself to produce a weld.
Welding also requires a form of shield to protect the filler metals or melted metals from being
contaminated or oxidized.
Many different energy sources can be used for welding, including a gas flame
(chemical), an electric arc (electrical), a laser, an electron beam, friction, and ultrasound. While
often an industrial process, welding may be performed in many different environments, including
in open air, under water, and in outer space. Welding is a hazardous undertaking and precautions
are required to avoid burns, electric shock, vision damage, inhalation of poisonous gases and
fumes, and exposure to intense ultraviolet radiation.
Processes:
1) Arc:
These processes use a welding power supply to create and maintain an electric arc
between an electrode and the base material to melt metals at the welding point. They can use
either direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC), and consumable or non-
consumable electrodes. The welding region is sometimes protected by some type of inert or semi-
inert gas, known as a shielding gas, and filler material is sometimes used as well.
2) Power supplies:
To supply the electrical power necessary for arc welding processes, a variety of
different power supplies can be used. The most common welding power supplies are
constant current power supplies and constant voltage power supplies. In arc welding, the length
of the arc is directly related to the voltage, and the amount of heat input is related to the current.
Constant current power supplies are most often used for manual welding processes such as gas
tungsten arc welding and shielded metal arc welding, because they maintain a relatively constant
current even as the voltage varies. This is important because in manual welding, it can be difficult
to hold the electrode perfectly steady, and as a result, the arc length and thus voltage tend to
fluctuate. Constant voltage power supplies hold the voltage constant and vary the current, and as
a result, are most often used for automated welding processes such as gas metal arc welding, flux
cored arc welding, and submerged arc welding. In these processes, arc length is kept constant,
since any fluctuation in the distance between the wire and the base material is quickly rectified
by a large change in current. For example, if the wire and the base material get too close, the
current will rapidly increase, which in turn causes the heat to increase and the tip of the wire to
melt, returning it to its original separation distance.
Figure 3.4.1 Welding
Types of Welding: Some of the most common current welding methods are:
Cutting is the separation or opening of a physical object, into two or more portions, through the
application of an acutely directed force.
Implements commonly used for cutting are the knife and saw, or in medicine and
science the scalpel and microtome. However, any sufficiently sharp object is capable of cutting
if it has a hardness sufficiently larger than the object being cut, and if it is applied with sufficient
force. Even liquids can be used to cut things when applied with sufficient force (see water jet
cutter).
Cutting is a compressive and shearing phenomenon, and occurs only when the
total stress generated by the cutting implement exceeds the ultimate strength of the material of
the object being cut. The simplest applicable equation is:
STRESS= FORCE/ AREA
The stress generated by a cutting implement is directly proportional to the force with
which it is applied, and inversely proportional to the area of contact.[1] Hence, the smaller the
area (i.e., the sharper the cutting implement), the less force is needed to cut something. It is
generally seen that cutting edges are thinner for cutting soft materials and thicker for harder
materials. This progression is seen from kitchen knife, to cleaver, to axe, and is a balance between
the easy cutting action of a thin blade vs strength and edge durability of a thicker blade.
• Chip forming (material removal processes) – sawing, drilling, milling, turning etc.
• Shearing – punching, stamping, scissoring, blanking.
• Abrasive material removal – grinding, lapping, polishing, water-jet.
• Heat – flame cutting, plasma cutting, laser cutting.
• Electrochemical – etching, electrical discharge machining (EDM), electrical chemical
machining (ECM).
Every method has its limitations in accuracy, cost, and effect on the material. For
example, heat may damage the quality of heat treated alloys, and laser cutting is less suitable for
highly reflective materials such as aluminum. Laser cutting sheet metal produces flat parts and
etches and engraves parts from complex or simple designs.
Surface Integrity (e.g., Roughness, Hardness, Residual Stress):
Cutting processes generate and affect different surface integrity attributes on the produced parts.
These can be categorized as follows:
(3) Metallurgical phase like microstructure, grain size and shape, phase transformation,
inclusions, etc.
These variations of the surface fall into five categories, i.e., thermal, metallurgical,
mechanical, electrical, and chemical proper
Surface defects:
Different forms of surface defects are reported in Section, major forms are material pull-out or
cracking, surface drag, adhered material particles, feed marks, tearing surface, debris of
microchips, chip layer formation, surface cavities, surface plucking, laps (material folded onto
the surface), slip zones, deformed grains, and lay patterns. Displays the effect high speed milling
inputs on the surface roughness during machining of Ti–10V–2Fe–3Al. The effect of feed per
tooth (fz) on surface roughness is depicted in. The surface roughness increased from 0.51 to 0.96
µm with increasing of fz from 0.08 to 0.22 mm/z. This is mainly because of the growth in feed
per tooth,
(2) Sudden shear deformation would increase in size with the growth in milling thickness
in order to extend the fracture zone;
(3) Friction and extrusion between workpiece and tool get more severe with an increase
in milling force.
Figure 3.4.2 : Surface defect in cutting
Drilling is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut a hole of circular cross-section in
solid materials. The drill bit is usually a rotary cutting tool, often multi-point. The bit
is pressed against the work-piece and rotated at rates from hundreds to thousands of revolutions
per minute. This forces the cutting edge against the work-piece, cutting off chips (swarf) from
the hole as it is drilled.
In rock drilling, the hole is usually not made through a circular cutting motion, though
the bit is usually rotated. Instead, the hole is usually made by hammering a drill bit into the hole
with quickly repeated short movements. The hammering action can be performed from outside
the hole (top-hammer drill) or within the hole (down-the-hole drill, DTH). Drills used for
horizontal drilling are called drifter drills.
In rare cases, specially-shaped bits are used to cut holes of non-circular cross-
section;a square cross-section is possible.
Drilling is easily the most common machining process. One estimate is that 75% of
all metal-cutting material removed comes from drilling operations. Drilling involves the creation
of holes that are right circular cylinders. This is accomplished most typically by using a twist
drill.
Figure 3.4.3 : Drilling process
(i) Deep hole drilling process is much faster than other conventional processes hence less
cycle period.
The use of fluids in a grinding process is often necessary to cool and lubricate the wheel and
work piece as well as remove the chips produced in the grinding process. The most common
grinding fluids are water-soluble chemical fluids, water-soluble oils, synthetic oils, and
petroleum-based oils. It is imperative that the fluid be applied directly to the cutting area to
prevent the fluid being blown away from the piece due to rapid rotation of the wheel.
•Investment is less.
•Working principle and operation is simple.
•It does not require additional skills.
•Surface finishing will be approximate 10 times better as compared to milling and
turning process of machining.
Dimensional accuracy will be quite good.

The waste collecting box is removed to dump the waste into desired places. The
manual operating floor cleaning machine uses two separate rods, in this one is connected at the
front of the machine and another one is connected at the back of the machine as shown in the
figure, the rod connected which is below having one dry mat cloth which having a function to
clean the dust, and sweeps dust.
Another one back congaing a wet cloth which function a to clean floor at a
maximum extent length, here we cover about 5 foot length having maximum area of cleaning.
When coming to the function of a floor cleaning, when manually move the machine
with the help of hand, machine starts moving. When moving starts front and back having a
cleaning rods it starts moving in forward direction first rod work in sweeping a dust on a floor
and back rod work to clean the floor with wet cloth it covers a maximum area of cleaning.

Chapter 5 : CONCLUSION AND SCOPE OF PROJECT
5.1 CONCLUSION:
• The manually operated eco-friendly road and floor cleaner is successfully designed, and
fabricated. This project works implements the manually operated eco friendly road
cleaner for road cleaning that reducing the cost, human efforts as well as time.
• It is the best alternative for automated road cleaning machine during power crisis. It is
found that the existing road cleaning machines works with a human simple effort.
Manual cleaning may causes shoulder problem due to continuous sweeping.
• The manually operated road cleaning machine is alternative concept for avoiding such
problems. It works very efficiently with respect to covering area.
• It is very economical to use. The manually operated eco-friendly road and floor cleaner
can work very efficiently with respect to covering area, time and cost of road cleaning
process compared with the existing machineries.
• Also it is economical. It was seen while testing of machine, that the cleaning is less
effective where the road seems to be very rough and damaged. It can provide job to
the uneducated person who is in need for such jobs as human energy is needed to drive
the machine.
• Maintenance of machine is less and it is easy to control and clean it having health
benefits and it mainly protects environment pollution.
• This design of eco-friendly road cleaning system can be used to clean any kind of
remote places. As the chain mechanism selected can consume much less power so it
will be the power saving and cost saving as well.
• Also, there is a need of a brush which operates automatically. As well as provides new
add on of sanitization of road.
• Thus, with the help of MODERN ROAD CLEANING VEHICLE we will be able to
clean the wastes dumped in the Road tracks in a very easy and efficient way. The
simple mechanisms employed in the system makes the vehicle easier for operation. This
machine will overcome the human effort and saves time.
• Various modern Road cleaning machines are already being used in the foreign
countries, but in India it is not possible to use those machines because of the economic
background and lack of sophistications. So, we can use this machine for road cleaning,
since it is cheaper than that of modern machines.
• Using this Simplified Road Cleaning Machine with Modified Technology, Suitable for
Indian conditions, because of its reliability and expendability. Due to total cost of the
system is very low and only one time investment has to be made for reducing labor
charges.
• It will reduce human efforts drastically and very helpful to clean roads even in traffic.
Due to these benefits, usage of this system helps in cleaning roads. I think there may be
chance of using this machine in future of India.
• After studying the various research papers of floor cleaning machines we have
concluded that there are certain limitations in floor cleaning machines which can be
worked upon.
• For example cleaning machines are made with an aim to clean only dry surface of the
floor. This means that they are only sufficient in the summer and winter season but not
in rainy season this is the major issue for cleaning the floor surface but during the rainy
season floor cleaning machines are required which can perform the tasks when the
surface contain moisture or little amount of water on the surface of floor.
• So we are developing the machine which can work in both dry and wet conditions. This
machine called as dry and wet floor cleaning machine. This machine can remove the
dust in summer season and also it can remove and clean the dirt, water from floor in
rainy season.
i) Electrical operated.
In our project manually operated road cleaning machine is alternative concept for
avoiding such problems. It works very efficiently with respect to covering area. It is very
economical to use.

TECHNICAL NOTES ON THE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF
MANUALLY OPERATED ECO- FRIENDLY ROAD CLEANER
Our survey of federal “Social R&D” obligation was not meant to duplicate the surveys
conducted y the Indian research of Journal Engineering and Technology and faculties of B.IET
LUCKNOW. We instead sought to amplify and build upon the existing data in order to
describe more comprehensively the activities we define as social knowledge production and
application and application. Our budget figures differ in three major ways from the NSF and
OMG data and these differences should be kept I mind when comparing other data with our.
First: we did not use the traditional definition of research and development. Instead,
we used the seven categories of knowledge production and knowledge application activities
describe in chapter 1. Some of these categories are not included in the traditional definition of
research and development, as discussed below.
