 ABSTRACT

In order to meet the food requirements of the growing

population and rapid industrialization, modernization of agriculture is inescapable.
The machine is designed to perform Spraying .

When the equipment is push forward by using handles, back wheel rotates and the
gear is mounted at the axle of wheel is start to rotate and its rotation is then
transferred to the pinion through the chain drive.

The rotary motion of the pinion is converted into the reciprocating motion by the single
slider crank mechanism, due to this arrangement the connecting rod moves upward
and downward which then reciprocate the piston of single acting reciprocating pump
mounted at the top of storage tank.

The delivery is connected to the pipe carrying the number of nozzles. Generally
spraying is traditionally done by labor carrying backpack type sprayer which requires
more human effort. So to overcome the above problem a machine is developed which
will be beneficial to the farmer for the spraying
INTRODUCTION:

In our country farming is done by traditional

way, besides that there is large development of industrial and
service sector as compared to that of agriculture. The spraying is
traditionally done by labor carrying backpack type sprayer
which requires more human effort. So to overcome the problem,
we tried to eliminate this problem and designed the equipment
which will be beneficial to the farmer for the spraying operations.
 Principle:
When the equipment is push forward by using
handles, front wheel rotates and the gear is mounted at the axle of wheel is start to
rotate and its rotation is then transferred to the pinion through the chain drive. The
rotary motion of the pinion is converted into the reciprocating motion by the single
slider crank mechanism, due to this arrangement the connecting rod moves upward
and downward which then reciprocate the piston of single acting reciprocating
pump mounted at the top of storage tank. During the upward motion of the
connecting rod the pesticide is drawn into the pump and during the downward
motion of connecting rod the pesticide is forced to the delivery valve, the delivery is
connected to the pipe carrying the number of nozzles.

CAD model of agricultural pesticide sprayer
Reciprocating pump:
These types of pump operate by using a reciprocating
piston. The liquid enters a pumping chamber via an inlet valve and is pushed out via an
outlet valve by the action of the piston or diaphragm

Connecting link:
Nozzles:
The nozzle is a critical part of any sprayer. Nozzles perform three
functions:
• Regulate flow.
• Atomize the mixture into droplets.
• Disperse the spray in a desirable pattern.
Advantages:

Cost effective
Spraying is better
The cost is lower
Operation safety
Less human effort
Easy to operate
Disadvantages:

 Output pressure is low compared to power sprayers

 Spraying can be done at minimum heights
 More effective only at dry lands

 CONCLUSION
The equipment is purposely design for the
farmers having small farming land say 5-6 acre. It is suitable for spraying at
minimum cost for the farmer so that he can afford it. The performance of the
equipment will increase when it is operates on the smooth surface or less uneven
surface and also it will be more effective when it is used on the crops having
nearly similar height and having the less space between two crops.
