| Popis: | Drain Buggy is a concept that is to replace the manual scavenging work in the drainages and to protect from environmental hazards by removing waste from the drainage system. If the wastes are not removed properly, then waste gets settled in large amounts in the drainage system and cause blockages. Difficulty in cleaning the drainages can be minimized by the implementation of proposed mechanized buggy. This mechanical cleaning equipment can be used to clean and control the drainages and its level in several parts of the country to avoid water floods. This work comprises of design and development of the components of Drain cleaner consists of a hand wheel, a chain, driver, bucket and frame. The solid waste from the drain is lifted by the bucket which is connected to the chain. The cleaner can be placed across the drain and the chain is attached to the gears driven by motor. So, when the motor is powered it runs the chain, connected to the bucket, start to circulate the bucket to collect the waste. Geared DC motor is selected and can be used in this application. The waste collected in the bucket is stored in the waste storage tank. Thus, the threat of infectious diseases caused is reduced compared to the direct contact with the sewage water. |
