Design and Fabrication of Automated Water Tank Cleaner

Abstract: To develop a mechanical system for cleaning automatic cylinder water tank. The mechanical system consists of water tank, electrical motor, shaft, handle for supporting frame and converter. Converter is used to supply the required voltage to the motor. As the power input is given to the electric motor. The mechanical system includes screw mechanism. A screw mechanism is a mechanical device that converts rotational motion into linear motion. It consists of a threaded shaft, known as a screw, and a nut with matching threads that engage with the screw. When the screw is rotated, the nut moves along the screw axis, resulting in linear motion of the nut. This arrangement is used to transport the entire mechanical system up and down for cleaning cylinder water tank. Brushes are connected to the shaft through coupling. When motor gets starts the energy transfers into the shaft. It cleans the interior surface of the cylinder water tank. The purpose of this project is to reduce the human efforts and to avoid the chemical influence on health of person entering the tank for cleaning. To overcome this cleaning tanks overhead manually is a critical job. So, we designed an automated cleaner with provide a high safety, better efficiency, and to reduce the time for cleaning
