What is battery operated weeder:
 
A weeder is a machine used in agricultural fields to remove the weeds, which are
unnecessary crops that hinder the growth of crops
The traditional method of hand weeding is time consuming. In this Battery drive
motorized weeder we use motorized system, which is powered by battery. It consists
of connector arms to stimulate digging motion in a particular arrangement to
automate this task.
Why is it need?

Weed is a plant that is considered undesirable in a particular situation, it is basically

“a plant in the wrong place”. Weeds are needed to be controlled because it reduces
crop quality by contaminating the commodity. Weeds reduce farm productivity.
Weeding by motorized Weeder reduces the cost of labor and also saves time. In
human operated Weeder, muscle power is required and so it cannot be operated for
long time. The traditional method of hand weeding is time consuming. In this Battery
operated weeder we use motorized system, which is powered by battery. Battery
Operated 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
Component:
1. Dc motor
2. Frame Mild steel
3. Battery (12volts)
4. Wheels plastic
5. Grass collector
6. Metal links
Frame:
In our motorized agricultural weeder, the frame is made up of hollow square pipes
and these pipes are made up of mild steel. Other accessories like Dc motor, wheels,
grass collector, the battery mounted on it. The motor is mounted at the front end of
the body and the handle is connected at the rare end of the body. The cutting edge is
connected to the motor at the front side.
DC Motor:
12 volts Dc motor is used to run the lever mechanism, it takes the power from a
battery. One of the modifications we have done is, converted a single axis dc motor to
dual-axis motor as shown in
Levers:
There should be a medium to transfer the forces, so we attached the second class of
levers to the motor. And a bucket-shaped plates are welded at the end of levers to dig
into the soil and remove the weeds.
Wheels:
Two wheels are mounted at bottom of the frame, to support and move in required
directions. In between these two wheels, a grass collector is welded to collect the
weeds and waste materials.
Collectors:
A grass collector is attached at bottom of the weeder, it collects the weed and waste
materials present in the field. These collectors are made of mild steel.
Overall System Architecture:
Methodology
Initially, we constructed the frame by using mild steel hollow square pipes. By
welding these square hollow pipes we bring a shape for agriculture welder.
By using nuts and clamps Dc motor is mounted at the front end of the frame.
For easy holding purposes, Square pipe is welded at the rear end of the frame, A
switch is provided on the handle.
To make this welder comfortable and friendly we constructed and introduced the
sliders for easy height and length adjustments based on the height of the operator.
Two wheels are attached to the frame for easy movement in a particular direction.
The battery is mounted between the handle and motor to reduce the burden on the
operator, Battery is mounted at the center or in between the handle and motor.
A collector in constructed and welded at the bottom of the frame to collect the weeds
and waste materials.
WORKING:
The main working principle of the weeder is to remove the unwanted weed from any
type of cultivating crop region . It is powered mechanically and electrically by the
group of linkages that were connected to the motor. It works by converting the
rotational motion of motor to the linear access to the linkages that were connected to
the motor and grass collectors is attached at bottom of the weeder moves in forward
direction along with weeder. The rotation of motor allows the linkage to remove the
weed from the cultivating land and collect it in a specific region where the weeder
moves and collects the grass. By operating the on/off switch at the handle, the
equipment is controlled, and power transmitted to the motor there by levers are
operated. Due to the movement of levers, the Machine moves in forward direction
and removes weeds. Removed weeds are collected by the collector present at bottom
of the weeder.
 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

1. Time required to weeding of 1 Acre area is 30 minutes, For 12v of battery

consumption.
2. The average weeding capacity of machine is 1.5 Acre area and time required for
two time of battery consumption is 45 minutes.
3. Machine works for 3 hours and 30 minutes four time of battery fully charging.
4. Weeding efficiency of this machine is 80 %.
Advantages
1. Battery operated weed control not only uproots the weeds between the crop rows
but also keeps the soil surface loose, ensuring better soil aeration and water
intake capacity. Weeding by mechanical devices reduces the cost of labour and
also saves time
2. The efficiency of weeder should be satisfactory and it is easy to operate. It was
faster than the traditional method of removing weed. Less labor needed and it is
more economical than hand weeding.
3. Cost of battery operated weeder is less as compare other weeder.
Application:
1. A number of common weeding tools are designed to ease the task of removing
weeds from gardens and lawns.
2. The weeder is used for removing weeds in vegetable gardens, basins of orchard
trees and Vineyard plantations. It is also used for breaking the soil crust .
3. 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.
Conclusion
1. The time and cash consumed in ordinary procedures will save.
2. Comparatively machine is low cost. It is easy to change the direction of weeder.
3. It can be easily handled by any person in filed while working on it because of its
slider adjustments it is possible to adjust the machine as per the operator height.
4. It is of less noise machine when compared to the other machine
