AUTOMATION- SMART DUSTER

Executive summary of product:

In this fast growing world there are different new technologies adopted to increase work rate in

minimum time period. India being a nation underscoring on instruction since ages. In any case,

the chalks we use on slates or the markers on whiteboards should be eradicated if next thing is tobe taught. This blank or whiteboard eradicating technique is a monotonous occupation. So to

diminish a tiny bit time and vitality of the educators who might raise the cutting edge we have

attempted to design the automatic blackboard erasing mechanism. Thus, automatic blackboard

duster is also a new technology for cleaning the board automatically in minimum time period. In

this advanced world the competition is increasing day by day, thus the time of every person is

most precious. Automatic blackboard duster clean the board in less time and saves the time of

student which is too important.Compared with manually wipe, smart wipe has a good effect and

runs smooth with good reaction speed. The rate of rotation of the motor can be set in accordance

with the requirements of the wiping speed to suit the requirements of different occasions. The

automatic blackboard duster has a simple structure, easy to operate, easy to obtain raw materials,manufacturing equipment simple process. Its Control functions, and less susceptible to

interference, high reliability, ease of use, can make products with high performance and low cost.

This appertains to new and useful improvements and more particularly to an apparatus whereby

blackboards can be cleaned in an easy and convenient manner. The principal object of the

present automatic blackboard duster is to provide an attachment for blackboards in the form of a

power driven erasing apparatus which can be set in operation by the throw of a switch, thus

eliminating the drudgery of manually cleaning blackboards. Another important object of the

invention is to provide an automatic apparatus of the character described, which is positive-

acting in operation, and wherein the erasing elements can be conveniently replaced and the other

details of the mechanism easily repaired in the event of the development of defects. The utilitymodel relates to teaching aid. The prior blackboard has no automatic cleaning function, a teacher

wastes time in writing and erasing, and the use is not ideal. The utility model provides an

automatic blackboard cleaning system consisting, an electric blackboard eraser, and a soft-

covered blackboard. The automatic blackboard cleaning system is characterized in that the soft-

covered blackboard which can move circularly is arranged between the upper and the lower

frame and the electric blackboard eraser for cleaning chalk dust is arranged on the surface of the

blackboard. The structure is simple; the use is convenient, clean and sanitary; and the effect of

saving time is good.

Product specifications

Specific Functional Requirements:-

The system is designed for wiping off the board. Duster wipes the board automatically in oneattempt without any manual or physical effort, easily.

Performance Requirements:-

a. Product includes magnetic duster and magnetic board. It requires proper maintenance of

board and duster regularly and clean the surface of the board regularly to increase life of the

product. A motor will be used to move the duster, so if any fault occurs in motor then system

may crash. It requires electric supply and to be used inside closed classrooms to protect it from

sunlight.

Development and Customer Commitment Requirements:-

Customer expects the board to be cleaned in very less time and with ease. So for this system-

Mandatory requirements:

An automatic duster with long durability, smooth board and easily removable ink.

Desirable Requirements:

Least requirement of physical work in cleaning the complete board in one go.

Can be used in open surroundings, water resistant and dust resistant.

Material of duster must be of good quality so its surface can be cleaned easily.

Optional Requirements:

User can be able to clean the part of the the board on its own desire if the user does a mistake in

between and doesnt want to clean the complete board.

Possible Future Enhancement:-

We can use more reliable products.

Can reduce the cost and increase lifetime.

Board can be rubbed by finger on a stimulation screen of board which results in the rubbing of

the actual part of the board.

Physical Requirements:

A duster with magnetic surface over it and a smooth white board with a magnetic surface which

is easy to write upon through a certain type of ink.

Electric motor which is used to move duster on the board thoroughly

Wooden materials to hold the duster.

The size of the duster may be suitable according to the board so that it can clean it in one

attempt. Duster should have very less weight so its easy to hold it and move easily.

Power consumption by electric motor must be very less.

Color of ink should be suitable for eyes and must be visible to everyone in classrooms, such as

blue ink or black on a white magnetic board.

Safety Requirements:-

Dust or ink must be removed regularly from dusters surface.

Electric motor must be placed safely and its electric switch must be safe to use.

Keeping the system away from water and sunlight which may damage it.

Magnetic substance used in board and duster must be of good quality and durability.

BRAINSTORMNING AND CONCEPT GENERATION

For brainstorming we all came up with 5 solutions to the same problems collectively and wrote

them down on a sheet of paper. Doing this we got to know efficiency delivered by other

solutions.

Conclusions:

The objective of this work which is to design an automated white board cleaner has been

achieved to an extent. There is need for further fabrication works. The structures of the

chains and sprocket were conceived to fit properly into the cleaning mechanism, but due

to inadequate tensioning, prevented the automated duster from performing the required

function adequately. The gear mechanism could have been used to reduce the speed of

the motor, but considering the weight which it might have on the machine, variable speed

regulators were inculcated instead. Due to the forward motion of the duster, sensor was

needed to trigger off the motor whenever the duster gets to the end of the board. This can

be used to prevent damage of the motor. Finally, the automated duster when fully

completed will give an effective cleaning after two to three sweeps. It is recommended

that the machine be improved in terms of tensioning of the chains to ensure an effective

cleaning and that rollers are placed at the base just in front of the duster, creating a

groove were it can move. Finally, proper fitting of bearings on the sprocket are put inplace to reduce the load on the electric motor.

Future Scope:

In these project , there is a great scope to modify it in different ways like increasing its

operation like vacuum cleaner, a form of spray of water whenever required by applying

pump for better finishing adopt, different mechanism in place of chain and sprocket to

reduce noise and so on, so that more better result can be obtained.
