INTRODUCTION
Effective cleaning and sanitizing helps and protect the health of
the human beings directly and indirectly. Also, cleaning and
sanitizing prevents the pest infestations by reducing residues that can
attract and support bees, pests etc. It also improves the self life of the
floor, walls etc due to regular cleaning and maintenance. In recent
years, most of the people prefer to use trains or buses for commuting
and hence these places are littered with biscuits covers, cold drink
bottles etc. Hence, it is necessary to clean the bus stands and railways
stations at regular interval. There is no one single cleaning method
that is suitable cleaning technique and also the equipment should be
user friendly. Cleaning work can be physically demanding and a need
has been identified to developed methods for systematic ergonomics
evaluation robots are getting more popular for busy and aging
populations due to lack of workers. However in India, unemployment
is more and hence there is a need to develop less labour oriented
cleaning machine. Hence, the present work is aimed to design ,
development and evaluation of a manually operated floor cleaning
machine. In recent years, conventional floor cleaning machines are
most widely used in airports , railway stations, malls, hospitals and in
many commercial places, as cleaning is one of the important
parameter for the sanitation and government regulations . For
maintaining such places, cleaning the floor is the major task which is
2
necessary. There are conventional floor cleaning machines
available to perform floor cleaning operations in above said places.
Generally a conventional floor cleaning machines requires electrical
energy for its operation. In India, especially in summer there is power
crisis, in majority of places. Hence cleaning the floor using the
conventional floor cleaning machines is difficult without electricity.
In this project an effort has been made to develop a manually operated
floor cleaning machine so that it can be an alternative for
conventional floor cleaning machines during power crisis. A manually
operated floor cleaning is developed with major list of objectives;
1. To achieve simultaneous dry and wet cleaning in a single run.
2. To make the machine cost effective. Easy to operate.
3. Requires no training to operate/ fast.
4. No external power requires.
5. Lower Maintenance Cost and Time.
6. Required less cleaning time.
7. High Cleaning Capability.
8. Clean more space in less time.
9. To reduce the maintenance cost of the manually operated floor
cleaning machine as

floor buffers, automatic floor scrubbers and extractors that can clean
almost all types of hard floors or carpeted flooring surfaces in very
less time than it would have taken using traditional cleaning methods.
Again the cleaning would be different for different floorings

3. After spraying the tile or stone floors in a small area, use a
mop to clean and scrub floors.
2.1.4 Reducing the need for cleaning
Good well-maintained entrance matting can dramatically
reduce the need for cleaning. For public and office buildings about 80
to 90% of the dirt is tracked in from outside. Installing a total of 15
feet of matting consisting of both indoor and outdoor sections will
remove about 80% of this. Thus about two-thirds of the dirt can be
removed at the entrance.

COMPONENTS
4.2.1.A.C. MOTOR
An electric motor is used for the conversion of electrical energy
into mechanical energy. This conversion of electrical power to
mechanical energy takes place in the rotating part of the motor. A
D.C. Motor is called as Conduction motor, but an A.C. Motor is
called as Induction Motor.
14
conversion of electrical power to mechanical energy takes place in the
rotating part of the motor. In D.C. Motors, the electric power is
conducted directly to the armature (the rotating part) through brushes
& commutator. Thus we can say a D.C. Motor as a conduction motor.
But in case of an A.C. Motor, the rotor does not receive electric
power by conduction, but by Induction. Thus they are called as
induction motors. This can be compared with the secondary winding
of a transformer. These induction motors are also called as rotating
transformers. Of all motors, it is generally a 3-phase or a poly-phase
induction motor is used in a larger extent in many industries

because the thinner plates are more prone to warping and pitting when
discharged. Dual Purpose Battery is a compromise between the two
types of batteries, though it is better to be more specific if possible.
Wet Cell (flooded), Gel Cell, and Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM)
are various versions of the lead acid battery. The Wet cell comes in
two styles; Serviceable and Maintenance free. Both are filled with
electrolyte and are basicly the same. I prefer one that I can add water
to and check the specific gravity of the electrolyte with a hydrometer.
The Gel Cell and the AGM batteries are specialty batteries that
typically cost twice as much as a premium wet cell. However they
store very well and do not tend to sulfate or degrade as easily as wet
cell. There is little chance of a hydrogen gas explosion or corrosion
when using these batteries; these are the safest lead acid batteries you
can use. Gel Cell and some AGM batteries may require a special
charging rate. If you want the best,most versatile type, consideration
should be given to the AGM battery for applications such as Marine,
RV, Solar, Audio, Power Sports and Stand-By Power just to name a
few. If you don't use or operate your equipment daily, AGM batteries
will hold their charge better that other types. If you must depend on
top-notch battery performance, spend the extra money. Gel Cell
batteries still are being sold but AGM batteries are replacing them in
most applications. There is a some common confusion regarding
AGM batteries because different manufactures call them by different
18
names; some of the more common names are "sealed regulated
valve", "dry cell", "non spillable", and "Valve Regulated Lead Acid"
batteries. In most cases AGM batteries will give greater life span and
greater cycle life than a wet cell battery. SPECIAL NOTE about Gel
Batteries: It is very common for individuals to use the term GEL
CELL when referring to sealed, maintenance free batteries, much like
one would use Kleenex when referring to facial tissue or "Xerox
machine" when referring to a copy machine. Be very careful when
specifying a battery charger, many times we are told by customer they
are requiring a charger for a Gel Cell battery and in fact the battery is
not a Gel Cell.
AGM:
19
Cycle AGM batteries are discharged to a rate of no less than 60% the
cycle life will be 300 plus cycles.
GEL:
The Gel Cell is similar to the AGM style because the electrolyte
is suspended, but different because technically the AGM battery is
still considered to be a wet cell. The electrolyte in a Gel Cell has a
silica additive that causes it to set up or stiffen. The recharge voltage
on this type of cell is lower than the other styles of lead acid battery.
This is probably the most sensitive cell in terms of adverse reactions
to over-voltage charging. Gel Batteries are best used in VERY DEEP
cycle application and may last a bit longer in hot weather
applications. If the incorrect battery charger is used on a Gel Cell
battery poor performance.

4.2.3 WATER TANK
4.2.4 SCRUBBER
Basically the Indian floors are cleaned by rubbing the floor with
a hard cloth or plastic like material called scrubber or mop. Hence
design of scrubber is an important task while cleaning Indian floors.
The motion of scrubber on the surface may be rotatory or harmonic
depending upon the type of material used or surface to be cleaned.
Normally hard material like heavy cloths are used for making the
scrubber. The basic purpose of the scrubber is to clean the surface
completely and also soak the water or liquid used for cleaning the
surface. The additional purpose of the scrubber is to make proper flow
of dirt water towards the direction needed. In some cases a single spot
is to be scrubbed more than once. For this purpose harmonic motion is
used which enable better removal of debris. But in our case the
21
purpose is to clean household flooring so relative rotation of scrubber
is made to achieve required purpose

which will substantially reduce the cleaning time and cost of the
machine. At the same time, the floor cleaning machine should be
capable of cleaning rough as well as smooth floors and inaccessible
corners effectively. Through efficient project management, aspects
like minimization of manufacturing and operational cost, aesthetic
and ergonomic considerations were taken into account. Eventually
this machine will lead to hefty decrease in time, money and effort.

Arduino. The cleaner will be a step for providing comfortable life by
resolving problems in traditional floor cleaning methods.
