Design of Floor Cleaning Machine

 ABSTRACT
This project deals with the design of new products. In recent years, floor cleaning and fabrication
of manually operated floor cleaning machine. The conventional floor cleaning and machines is
most widely used in airport platforms, railway platforms, hospitals, bus stands, malls and in
many other commercial places. These devices need an electrical energy for its operation not user
friendly. In India, especially in summer, there is power crisis and most of the floor cleaning
machine is not used effectively due to this problem, particularly in bus stands. Hence it is a need
to develop low cost, user friendly floor cleaning machine. In this project, an effort has been made
to develop a manually operated floor cleaning machine so that it can be an alternative for
conventional floor cleaning analysis of the floor cleaning machine was done using suitable
commercially available software. The conventionally used materials were ,considered for the
components of floor cleaning machine.

KEYWORDS: Floor cleaning machine, Design and Fabrication, Analysis.

Design of Floor Cleaning Machine

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 self 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 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 ergonomics evaluation 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 labour oriented cleaning machine. Hence, the
present work is aimed to design , development and evaluation of a manually operated floor
cleaning machine. In recent years, conventional floor cleaning machines are most widely used in
airports , railway stations, malls, hospitals and in many commercial places, as cleaning is one of
the important parameter for the sanitation and government regulations . For maintaining such
places, cleaning the floor is the major task which is necessary. There are conventional floor
cleaning machines available to perform floor cleaning operations in above said places. Generally
a conventional floor cleaning machines requires electrical energy for its operation. In India,
especially in summer there is power crisis, in majority of places. Hence cleaning the floor using
the conventional floor cleaning machines is difficult without electricity. In this project an effort
has been made to develop a manually operated floor cleaning machine so that it can be an
alternative for conventional floor cleaning machines during power crisis.

1.1 Objectives of these Project

1. To achieve simultaneous dry and wet cleaning in a single run.

2. To make the machine cost effective. Easy to operate.

3. Requires no training to operate/ fast.

4. No external power requires.

5. Lower Maintenance Cost and Time.

6. Required less cleaning time.

7. High Cleaning Capability.

8. Clean more space in less time.

Design of Floor Cleaning Machine

9. To reduce the maintenance cost of the manually operated floor cleaning machine as far as
possible. The main parts combining to form the overall structure are discussed below:

1. THE MAIN FRAME

The main frame used is designed especially to serve it purpose of overall floor cleaning. The
whole structure is made up of heavygauge square iron pipe having dimensions (1.5” * 1.5”)
so that it may handle and bear the load all the equipment that are to be fit on it to complete
the whole structure.
2. REAR WHEELS
Rear wheels are connected to rear axle. The rear wheel drive is used to drive the cotton with
the help of chain drive. The rear wheel having a big chain sprocket.
3. SPROCKET
Chain Drive is relatively easy to install. Assembly tolerances are not as restrictive as those
for gear drives. Chain drives are a better choice for less experienced builders working with a
minimum of machine tools. Sprockets are used in bicycles, motorcycles, cars, tracked
vehicles, and other machinery either to transmit rotary motion between two shafts where
gears are unsuitable or to impart linear motion to a track, tape etc. Early automobiles were
also largely driven by sprocket and chain mechanism, a practice largely copied from
bicycles. We use sprocket chain mechanism because of following some advantages.

1. Chain drive has maximum efficiency it is positive drive.

2. Chain drive can be readily redesigned and reconfigured in comparison to gear drive system.
Fig: Sprocket Chain Drive.

3. Chains perform better than gears under shock loading conditions.

Design of Floor Cleaning Machine

4. Chain drives spread operating loads over many teeth whereas the operating loads acting on
gear drives are concentrated on one or two teeth. Chain drives do not require tension on the slack
side (Belt drives do) thus bearing loading is reduced.

5. Chain drives require less space for a given loading and speed condition than pulleys and belts.

6. Chain drives systems are (usually) less costly to build and maintain than an equivalent gear
drive.

 PVC PIPE ROLLER

In this project we use the rollers made from PVC Pipe Roller.The main purpose of roller is
that to guide or circulate the cleaning cloth. In this project seven rollers are used of having
diameter 45mm and length 1.5 feet. Cost of each roller is 200 rupees.

 COTTON
we can use this cleaning cotton cloth for cleaning flat surfaces. This cotton cloth wound
around the Rollers mechanism. The material for cotton is absorbing type used.

as a part of airplane terminal stages, railroad stages, healing centers, transport stands, and
shopping centers and in numerous other business places. These gadgets require an electrical
vitality for its activity and not easy to use. In India, particularly in summer, there is control
emergency and the vast majority of the floor cleaning machine isn't utilized successfully
because of this issue, especially in transport stands. In this work, demonstrating and
investigation of the floor cleaning machine was finished utilizing appropriate financially
accessible programming. From the limited component investigation, we watch that the
feeling of anxiety in the physically worked floor cleaning machine is inside as far as
possible”.

 CRITICAL REVIEW
Various authors have done various things with floor cleaning machine from atomizing it
completely to making it ecofriendly and easy to use. Some have robotised the process by
using of AI and some have used custom fabrication to fit various needs of cleaning like wet
or dry cleaning. But one thing in common with all machine was the goal to reduce the overall
cost and increase the ease of using the machine in multipurpose ways. In future the scope is a
fully autonomous cleaning machine which could perform several cleaning tasks and run on
various ecofriendly power like solar or wind energy without need of human interventions.

3. METHODOLOGY
Cleaning machine is very much useful in cleaning floors and outside ground in hospitals, houses,
auditorium, shops, bus stands and public places etc. Many of floor cleaning machines are
available but we developed machine is a very simple in construction and easy to operate.
Anybody can operate this machine easily. Hence it is very useful in hospitals, any large area
space. The time taken for cleaning is very less and cost is also very less. Maintenance cost is
less. In our project we have made the machine to operate in a fully mechanical way. The floor
cleaner is very simple in a construction and very easy to operate, anyone can operate it. Without
any prior training of any sorts with safety. Machine consist of rollers ,water tank, sprocket &
chain mechanism, collector brush assembly, drive wheel, and cotton etc. cotton is wound around
supporting roller and main rollers. but main roller is placed in water tank so that wetted cotton is
transfer forward for cleaning. Cotton is rotate due to use of chain drive. and for chain drive gives
the drive from wheel. two small rollers is mounted on surface. The compression rollers are used
for removing the excess water. In front of machine the collector is placed for collecting the dirt,
dust particle before the cleaning of surface. When we are push the machine forward direction
cotton will be rotate around the rollers which will clean the surface. This cycle of rotation of
cotton will repeated. The floor cleaning machine is widely used in following places:-Hospitals,
colleges, Industrial floors, Airports, Offices, Hotels, Commercial Complexes, Dairies,
Laboratories, Canteen, Health centers. FUTURE SCOPE Floor washing machine ideal for small
& medium size Super- markets. Floor washing machine ideal for hospitals because of the low
noise level. Essential tool for maintaining high level of hygiene for Hotel - kitchens and
restaurans Safety feature includes pedal to secure the handle intact. Floor Washing’s easy
maneuverability and easy to reach beneath the furniture. No tools required to change brushes.
Floor cleaning is achieved by different technique which might be of different kinds. Different
types of floor need different type of treatment. The floor should be totally dry after the cleaning
process. Otherwise it may result in hazard. On some floors sawdust is used to absorb all kind of
liquids. This ensures that there will no need of preventing them from spill of the sawdust has to
be swept and replaced every day. Household cleaning is a repetitive task carried out by number
of people every day. Therefore cleaning machine is very much useful in cleaning floor in houses.
Many of floor cleaning machines are available but this floor cleaner is very simple in a
construction and very easy to operate, anyone can operate it, without any prior training of any
sorts with safety. The time taken for cleaning is very less and cost is also very less. Our floor
cleaner will save huge cost of labor in future. This machine mainly consists of dc motor, vacuum
cleaner, water pump, circular & roller brush, mop, SMPS, and hot air blower. The whole
assembly is mounted on a frame made up of mild steel as it is cheap and easily available. In the
front side, circular brush is mounted at both the ends and roller brush is at the center. Using
Clamp motor is mounted on circular brush in left side, which transmit power with the help of
timing gear. Vacuum cleaner located after roller brush then after water is supplying to mop. At
the end of the frame hot air blower is mounted to supply hot or ambient air to wet floor. Supply
is given to the system is ac supply which is converted into dc supply with the help of SMPS.
Design of Floor Cleaning Machine
When machine moves in forward direction circular brush divert all dirt towards center and with
the help of roller brush vacuum cleaner sucks all dirt inside and makes floor dust free. Here,
vacuum cleaner is use to suck a dirt and store in a storage box. After that a water sprayer is
attach which have small hole to spray water to make a surface wet, it takes water from a water
tank. Floor is cleaning by rotating press mop which is coupled to the DC motor. Hot air blower is
used to dry the water which is fitted to the Back side of the vehicle.

Design of Floor Cleaning Machine

4. CONCLUSION
Manually operated floor cleaning machine is an alternative for an automated floor cleaning
machine during power crisis. The equipment purposely design for cleaning floors, but can only
be use in outdoors with large ground like the hospitals, bus stands, railway stations etc. The
equipment will result more beneficial when it is compared to other existing floor cleaning
machines. Our project is based on very simple chain drive mechanisms which can be easily
operated by any person. Any fault in machine can be easily identified and can be corrected on the
spot. The use of innovative technology not only reduces cost significantly but also reduces the
human effort while increasing the effectiveness of floor cleaning. Reduced human effort means
more frequent floor cleaning which results in increase in overall cleanliness and supports healthy
well-being. Small steps in technological advancement like this will have higher impact in long
run in future, making India a better country.

Design of Floor Cleaning Machine

5. FUTURE SCOPE
The machine may be modified in future by adding battery and automatic operating system
because current design has few problems. Few of those are the space occupied by vacuum
cleaner is maximum therefore there is no space is remaining for battery, water storage problem,
motor is not detachable and the high rpm leads to vibration of the whole system. If these features
will be modified, this will work well. Monitoring, self-charging, lighter body weight, are the
future scope of this machine
