Abstract –

This paper is proposing a Fluid Machinery application that would provide storing of a
pressurized fluid and arrangement of transmitting power at certain distances with lower cost.
This application of power is very useful for lifting heavy objects in earth moving vehicles.
Incompressible fluids are used by the Hydraulic systems such as water, or oil to transmit power
and forces from one location to another within the fluid.

The main objective of this project is to design and analyze the portable hydraulic scissor truck
instead of manual pallet truck for the purpose of dropping and lifting battery box in AC Coaches
to bring it outside for checking suspension/cradle of battery box for availability of all suspension
bolts, signs of any cracks, corrosion, rusting and taking corrective action, if necessary. If suitable
hydraulic cylinder with more power is used, this scissor lift can also be designed for heavy load
purposes. This equipment will be simple to use. Frequent maintenance is not required for this
equipment. In this paper we carried out detailed analysis of scissor mechanism members against
bending and buckling failure and also focused on various design aspects and working of scissor
mechanism and helpful to lifting and dropping of battery box without any failure with this
scissor truck For existing practice the battery box dropping and lifting done by using manual
pallet truck. It shows the design is unsafe handling, injury to employee and feel uncomfortable. It
is very tedious for human being to lift a vehicle above from the ground. Even when a hydraulic
jack is implemented, it requires manual work. In this era, every man in the world wants comfort
and hence to relieve the problems faced by lifting and placing the battery box. Our project aims
to reduce the manual work involved during the replacement of battery box instead of applying
manual pallet truck. To validate our point and to reduce the above said difficulties faced, the
design of hydraulic lift has been changed.
INTRODUCTION
Hydraulic lifting machines are widely used for the lifting, moving and pushing function in
mining, construction and steel industries and in material handling equipments. Since 1950s the
applications of hydraulic systems have been started in the industries and this form of power has
become standard for the operations of industrial equipments. Today, modern automation
technology has a very important place for hydraulic systems. The reason for this is that hydraulic
systems are simple, versatile and efficient for the transmission of power.
The main job of a hydraulic system is the transmission the power as the power is changed from
one form to another. As these hydraulic systems are popularly used in the manufacturing and
production plants, therefore it is required that they are reliable and efficient equipments to
achieve the desired results from them like transmission of large amount of forces with the use of
smaller components which means good power intensity and precise positioning of the equipment
with consistent power output. These systems operate smoothly with reversal function possibility
and can work well in high temperature environment conditions. These systems are thus cost
considerably to provide the above functions and therefore the same
system is modified using a simple rack and pinion mechanism to lower its cost and allowing
further research and modification in it to make it able to provide all the above functions with the
same efficiency.
LITERATURE REVIEW
The traditional hydraulic system consists of various useful components which allows it to
perform the lifting functions precisely. These components are costly and if any part is faulty then
the replacement of that part costs much, therefore the need for a low cost, simple mechanism,
hydraulic system is required. As you can see in the below figure traditionally there are
components like reservoir which contains the hydraulic fluid which is incompressible. The size
of the reservoir depends on the size of the system and the amount of hydraulic fluid required by
it and thus the cost of it also increases with this. Another main component is the fluid pump
which pumps the fluid from the reservoir to the cylinder, it should be of high power to pump the
incompressible fluid in the system and a manual plunger is used to control the direction of this
pumped fluid, this plunger directs the fluid to the upper section of the cylinder or the lower
section according to the demand. A relief valve is also added before the manual plunger so that
when the load on the hydraulic ram is high, then the excess pressure on the pump is reduced by
the relief valve by passing the fluid to the reservoir. Some components can be replaced by a
simple rack and pinion mechanism and thus reducing the overall cost of the hydraulic lift.

IDEA OF IMPLEMENTATION
Now we take four 50 ml plastic syringe as hydraulic cylinder. We take one more syringe and
filled it with water/oil and now we connected both syringe with plastic tube as shown below.
If we pressurized one syringe second syringe lift up according to Pascal law, same phenomena
work with another syringe too. Now we plan to construct this Pascal law concept as a final
project. We use two syringes and coupled with one sliding mechanism and this mechanism is
powered from a slow DC gear motor for Lifting good and vehicles
PROJECT CONSTRUCTION
[1] First we arrange one sliding channel and fix it on a wooden frame.
[2] We use 8mm iron rode and cross on between 2 bearing stand. Then we fix one Pinion gear in
between 2 bearing stand. This pinion gear rolls over rack mechanism which is fixed on sliding
channel.
[3] We attach one DC gear motor with rod shaft gear for sliding movement to the entire set.
[4] We attach one syringe with sliding channel. Sliding mechanism provides smooth and
constant fluid pressure to the syringe fluid.
[5] Now we construct a simple car lifting platform with help of 4 syringes and connect with
master syringe. When the master syringe cylinder injects fluid to 4 syringes, platform lifts up as
shown in figure

Top benefits of hydraulic Lift:

The Hydraulic lifts have become a necessity and essential for transportation of goods within the
floors or out of the multi-story building. It is a kind of machine that is made to carries goods or
something to move upwards within the building and outside side of the road. Now hydraulic lifts
are being taken as the blessing of the mankind. Mostly Hydraulic lifts are required in warehouse
and manufacturing sector.
Meanwhile, hydraulic lifts are known for the alternative of forklift trucks or cars because these
lifts can be used wherever you want and most importantly it has less weight and size. For
moving, loading or unload something, hydraulic lifts are highly recommended. It is also suitable
for moving the goods in closed and crowded areas. These lifts are combined with a push for the
efficient tasks in the companies. To get the best Hydraulic lift for your company it is mandatory
to get the details of top Hydraulic lift Manufacturers in India but before it lets have a look at the
advantages of hydraulic lifts.
 The advantages of Hydraulic lifts are as follows:

After discussing the advantages of hydraulic lifts let’s have look at its disadvantages. The
disadvantages of hydraulic lifts are as follows:
 Slow speed- the main disadvantage of hydraulic lift is that it cannot travel at more than
150 feet in a minute.
 Require control room – the hydraulic fluid oil varies with temperature, so an efficient
machine-room control system.
 Produce high-heat- This type lifts are the high-heat producing system.
 Performance problem- at the time of operation the machine oil may leak into the ground
and cause pollution in groundwater.

CONCLUSION:-
After construction of this project we reach to this conclusion that we can easily remove the
reserve fluid tank, fluid motor and manual plunger valve from our heavy earth mover vehicle to
reduce its cost. We can implement this concept in robotic arms, conveyor, load lifting ramps and
heavy load turning table. We can improve this concept by adding on gear boxes in between the
motor and rack pinion assembly. This technique can reduce the heavy cost cutting in hydraulic
control machines.
