Project Title

Battery Drive Motorized Agriculture Weeder

Submitted by
 ABSTRACT

The effective design of weed removing machine is to minimize the

time taken for removing weed present between the growing plants.
It is mainly focused to increase the growth rate of plants.
Mechanical weed control is easily adopted by farmers once they
get convinced of its advantages. Motorized agriculture weeding
machine not only uproots the weeds between the crops rows but
also keeps the soil surface loose, ensuring better soil aeration and
water intake capacity. Weeding by motorized Weeders reduces the
cost of labour and also saves time. In human operated Weeders,
muscle power is required and so it cannot be operated for long
time. The traditional method of hand weeding is time consuming.
 Advantages

 Removes multiple grasses in less time

 Less workers are required
 Easy to work
 Handy machine

 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

Once the design is complete parts are to be procured so

that project development may proceed

Mechanical parts can be procured from local stores or online through

nevonexpress.com
 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
 Project Assembly

Mechanical assembly is a common term in the industrial and

manufacturing context. It is the process used in the line of
assembly production. As products are moved through the chain,
parts are added at certain points of the line.
 Testing

Mechanical testing includes testing each part of the machine/robot

individually followed by the complete testing after which the
project is ready to be used.
 Parts/Components Used

 wheels
 dc motor
 Metal links
 Weeder
 MS frame
 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.

Basic DC Motors are Available in local shops, but for special ones and all
variety at cheap prices online sources like nevonexpress.com can be used
 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.

Shafts/Axle can be manufactured from industries by online order via

nevonexpress.com by submitting your shaft design
 Sprokets & Chains
A sprocket or sprocket-wheel is a profiled wheel with teeth, or cogs, that mesh
with a chain, track or other perforated or indented material. The name
'sprocket' applies generally to any wheel upon which radial projections engage a
chain passing over it. It is distinguished from a gear in that sprockets are never
meshed together directly, and differs from a pulley in that sprockets have teeth
and pulleys are smooth.
Sprockets are used in bicycles, motorcycles, cars, tracked vehicles, and other
machinery.
Chains & Sprokets can be obtained from special chain sproket suppliers or
online via nevonexpress.com
 Bearing Housing
As we know to obtain any frictionless rotary motion we need bearings to be
fitted on the shaft and to fix the bearing in the machine we need bearing
housings.
Bearing housings can be made of different types and sizes according to the
requirement.
It can be made up of any material which is suitable to the machine and climatic
conditions where the machine is to be used.
Bearin housings can be obtained from special bearing housing suppliers or
online via nevonexpress.com
 Coupling and spacers
A coupling is a device used to connect two shafts together at their ends
for the purpose of transmitting power. Couplings do not normally allow
disconnection of shafts during operation, however there are torque limiting
couplings which can slip or disconnect when some torque limit is exceeded.
Spacer is a metal cylindrical part with threading on its both end used
to give spacing between two parallel parts.

Couplings and spacers can be obtained from special coupling and spacers
suppliers or online via nevonexpress.com
 Fastener
A fastener (US English) or fastening (UK English) is a hardware device that mechanically
joins or affixes two or more objects together. In general, fasteners are used to create
non-permanent joints; that is, joints that can be removed or dismantled without
damaging the joining components. Welding is an example of creating permanent
joints. Steel fasteners are usually made of stainless steel, carbon steel, or alloy steel.
