Automatic Drain Cleaner
Automatic Drain Cleaner
SYSTEM
Water is the basic need for the existence of life on earth. In spite of 70%
water on earth majority of water is not suitable for drinking purpose.
There is a huge demand of clean water as it is used for a variety of
purpose such as drinking, bathing, cleaning, cooking etc. Impurities
present in water can cause serious health issues that can damage the life
of human beings. The chief function of the automatic drainage system is
to collect, transport, as well as dispose the solid waste in the waste bucket
by the help of claws. Solid waste in drainage water includes empty
bottles, polythene bags, papers etc. Impurities in drainage water can lead
to blockage of the drainage system. In order to avoid such situation these
impurities are needed to be taken out time to time for the continuous flow
of drainage water. Drain can be cleaned continuously by the help of
model using the drive system to remove the solid waste and threw it into
waste bucket. This project is designed with the objective to initiate the
efficient working of system. This project automatically cleans the water
in the drainage system each time any impurity appears, and claws which
are driven by chain sprocket grasp the solid waste and threw it into the
waste bucket to avoid blockage. It even reduces the cost of manual labor
as well as reduces the threat to human life.

Project Design
Mechanical Design or Machine Design is one of the important
branches of Engineering Design. To understand what exactly machine
design or mechanical design is let us consider the example of the
gear box of the car. The gear box transmits the motion and the
power of the engine to the wheels of the vehicle. The gearbox
comprises group of gears which are subjected to not only motion but
also the load of the vehicle. For the gears to run at desired speeds
and take desired loads it is important that they should be designed.
Parts Procurement
Mechanical parts can be procured from local stores or online through other stores
Parts Fabrication
It is a value added process that involves the creation of machines, parts, and
structures from various raw materials. A fabrication shop will bid on a job,
usually based on the engineering drawings, and if awarded the contract will
build the product.
Fabrication Processes:
• Turning • Welding
• Boring • Drilling
• Threading • Metal Cutting
• Cutting • Threading

Motors
A DC motor is any of a class of rotary electrical machines that converts direct current electrical energy
into mechanical energy. The most common types rely on the forces produced by magnetic fields.
Nearly all types of DC motors have some internal mechanism, either electromechanical or electronic, to
periodically change the direction of current flow in part of the motor.
DC motors were the first type widely used, since they could be powered from existing direct-current
lighting power distribution systems. A DC motor's speed can be controlled over a wide range, using
either a variable supply voltage or by changing the strength of current in its field windings.
Shafts / Axle
An axle is a central shaft for a rotating wheel or gear. On wheeled vehicles, the axle may be
fixed to the wheels, rotating with them, or fixed to the vehicle, with the wheels rotating
around the axle.[1] In the former case, bearings or bushings are provided at the mounting
points where the axle is supported. In the latter case, a bearing or bushing sits inside a central
hole in the wheel to allow the wheel or gear to rotate around the axle. Sometimes, especially
on bicycles, the latter type axle is referred to as a spindle.
