 INTRODUCTION

Mini Conveyor Belt Mechanism Here we study designing and fabrication of a smart conveyer belt
system. Now the main parts of a conveyer belts are belt, frame, rollers, motor and supporting rods
and shafts. There are a variety of conveyer belts, so we will be concentrating on a small products
conveyer belt system that requires less power and works efficiently. For this we here use a small
motor, with rollers and frame made to support rollers. We first use metallic frame made using metal
strips and joints with small rods in between. We now drill holes through the frame sides to support
rollers. Now the rollers are fitted through the frame using bearings. The mechanism is now fitted
with frame end rollers made to run the belt. After this we mount the belt on the roller arrangement.
The belt is fitted with appropriate intensity on the frame. Now we connect a motor to one of the
rollers. The motor nor moves the roller which inturn moves the belt. This in turn moves the other
rollers in order to move objects over it at desired speed. Thus we demonstrate the design and
fabrication of a mini conveyer belt system. Components: DC motor Motor shaft Bearings Rollers

 MIND MAPPING

It is to present all the topics or points in the form of diagram, drawing or any other form. Through
this mind mapping canvas our intention will be clear about our topic and what we have to do.
Mind mapping canvas is for easy understanding of the domain.

Mind Mapping Canvas:

 EMPATHY MAPPING

Our domain is Mini Conveyor Belt.we started, in this canvas we have included our own
experiences while Observing Conveyor Belt and has written story on the on the basis of it.

We have focused on Rubber Belt and Support Frame. Their misbehaves and some points in
details.

EMPATHY MAPPING CANVAS:

People involved:

 Machine Operators
 Co-Workers
 Mechanics

Activities :

 Testing for Exisiting Conveyor Belt

 Brianstorm
 Users Feedback

Situation/Context/Location:

 Industries
 Construction Work
 Medical Field
 Transportation
 Heavy Food
 Multiple story Building
 A Large No. of Steps
IDEATION CANVAS:
Purpose:

PROTOTYPE
 CONCLUSION
We Learnt that solving a real life problem is not simple.

We learnt that redesign a old product is not easy and Require time and creativity.

In this semester we represent our idea in this report.

Thanks to Gujarat Technilogy University for provide this Design Engineering Subject.
