Introduction

Cleaning is the essential need of current time. Cleaning machines are very
useful in cleaning floors, outside ground in hospitals, houses, auditoriums, bus
stands and public places etc. Many researchers have done so many works in
evaluation of design of cleaning machine to give better outcomes, but many
researchers were operating their machine with the help of anyexternal source like
electrical energy, but this machine has been designedinsuchawaythatitcanbe
operated by manual power and there is no need of electricenergyor any other
energy. For the above said purpose the manual power is transferred from the chain
socket to the gear through chain mechanism then its power transfer to bevel gear
and it result to rotate the wheels and floor cleaning work is performed, which
makes this machine completely manually operated without any external source
of energy and its manufacture, and design is also cheaper in cost and reliable for
everyone [1]. It is capable for thecleaning purpose of both dry and wet floor and
easily transfer from one place to other due to its light weight and simple design.
Also, a benefit is that it is environmentally friendly. The components have been
used in designing this mechanically operated floor cleaning machine
are steel bar, bevel gear, wheel, wooden clips, bearing, rod, wiper, chain socket,
gear. Building maintenance is often characterized by an infinite series of
drab, unclean, time-consuming, and unpleasant duties such as floor washin

abstract

A novel method of road cleaning application for Indian roads has been
thought of and developed a ―Simplified Road Cleaning Machine with Modified
Technology Suitable to Indian Conditions‖. This equipment can be used for
cleaning the long distances and wide width reduces the human effort, so that the
cleaning can be done in a single drive. This system has been used to clean roads
and could clean various forms of papers, covers, food beverages, smooth dust and
unwanted waste noticed on the roads. It is seen at present that a human pushing
machines and cleaning is doing with human effort, and it is always to be done
when roads are operated without traffic. Large machines have been made to
overcome this problem, but it is very costly. In order to make less effort and very
efficient system we can use the scrubbing system. But scrubbing system is also not
possible because of due to large roads, with running traffic. So, I am having an
idea and design. In this design, collection of objects from 250GMS to fine dust can
collect from roads with high efficiency. I hope that it will emerge as a future cle

COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION
PULLEY

A pulley is a wheel on an axle that is designed to support


movement and change of direction of a cable or belt along its
circumference. Pulleys are used in a variety of ways to lift loads,
apply forces, and to transmit power. In nautical contexts, the
assembly of wheel, axle, and supporting shell is referred to as a
“block.”
A pulley is also called a sheave or drum and may have a groove
between two flanges around its circumference. The drive element
of a pulley system can be a rope, cable, belt, or chain that runs
over the pulley inside the groove.
A.C. MOTOR

An electric motor is used for the conversion of electrical energy


into mechanical energy. This conversion of electrical power to
mechanical energy takes place in the rotating part of the motor.A
D.C. Motor is called as Conduction motor, but an A.C. Motor is
called as Induction Motor.

BATTERY

Battery is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells


that convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy. Since
the invention of the first battery (or “voltaic pile”) in 1800 by
Alessandro Volta and especially since the technically improved
Daniel cell in 1836, batteries have become a common power
source for many household and industrial applications.
The Lead Acid battery is made up of plates, lead, and lead oxide
(various other elements are used to change density, hardness,
porosity, etc.) with a 35% sulfuric acid and 65% water solution.
This solution is called electrolyte, which causes a chemical
reaction that produce electrons.

Reasons for cleaning floors

The principal reasons for floor cleaning are:


 To prevent injuries due to tripping or slipping. Injuries due to slips and trips on
levelfloors are a major cause of accidental injury or death. Bad practice in floor
cleaning is
itself a major cause of accidents.
 To beautify the floor.
 To remove stains, dirt, litter and obstructions.
 To remove grit and sand which scratch and wear down the surface.
 To remove allergens, in particular dust.
 To prevent wear to the surface (e.g. by using a floor wax or protective sealant).
 To make the environment sanitary (e.g. in kitchens).
 To maintain an optimum traction (e.g. for dance floors).
Methods of floor cleaning
The treatment needed for different types of floors is very different. For safety it is
most important to ensure the floor is not left even slightly wet after cleaning or
mopping up.
Sawdust is used on some floors to absorb any liquids that fall rather than trying to
prevent them being spilt. The sawdust is swept up and replaced each day. This
was common in the past in pubs and is still used in some butchers and
fishmongers.
It used to be common to use tea leaves to collect dirt from carpets and remove
odours.
Nowadays it is sill quite common to use diatomaceous earth, or in fact any cat
litter type
material, to remove infestations from floors.
There are also a wide variety of floor cleaning machines available today such as
floor
buffers, automatic floor scrubbers and sweepers, and carpet extractors that can
deep clean almost
any type of hard floor or carpeted flooring surface in much less time than it would
take using a

Types and Uses

1. Single Disc Floor Machines – Commercial & Residential:


Electric Plug Powered equipment. These machines operate by a single motor that
turns a
pad driver installed on the bottom of the machine. Either brushes or floor
cleaning pads are
installed. It is the brushes or pads that provide the agitation while the motor
provides a circular
motion. These machines were some of the first on the market and run between
175 to 350 RPM.
These same machines were also used to spray buff floors. This versatile machine
could be used
to clean all hard floors (resilient and non-resilient) as well as carpeting.

2. Automatic Scrubbers – Commercial:


Battery or Electric Plug Powered, these machines normal run between 110 to 175
RPM.
Units with slightly higher RPM are on the market.
This equipment combines to include several steps in one operation.
 Application of the cleaning solution
 The agitation principle utilizing either pads or brushes
 Pick up of the cleaning solution
This equipment made the life of the janitor even easier because it accomplishes
several
steps in one operation and further reduced the labor factor of cleaning floors. To
our
understanding the very first automatic scrubber was first introduced 1905 by
Finnell System, Inc.
Finnell is no longer in business but received many patents during its corporate
life. These early
machines were nothing like today‘s automatic scrubbers. It was made with 1⁄4 inch
plate steel,
extremely heavy and was somewhatditional cleaning method.ning system
