Keywords: Four-Wheeler, hydraulic bottle jack system, automobile vehicle, single slider crank chain.

I. Introduction
Hydraulic jacks work on Pascal's Principle. According to principle the pressure in closed container is
the same at all points. Pressure is given by a Force divided by Area. Therefore, if you have two cylinders
connected together, a small one and a large one, and apply a small Force to the small cylinder, this would result
in a given pressure. By Pascal's Principle, this pressure would be the same in the larger cylinder, but since the
larger cylinder has more area, the force emitted by the second cylinder would be greater. This is represented by
rearranging the pressure formula P = F/A, to F = PA.
According to pascals theory the pressure in the second cylinder remain same and area increased and
hence give rice to increase of force. According to pascal the greater the difference between areas of cylinder
more force will be generated means more output will be gained. The hydraulic jacks is mounted with release
pedal for rapid lowering and lugs that make it easy to mount. The heavy-duty chassis avoids jack from bending
and foot pump helps to lift the load fast. Hydraulic jack is also provided with a safety overload valve that
prevents overloading of the jack beyond prescribed capacity. The hydraulic jack uses oil which is under pressure
to lift vehicle by mere moving a lever up and down. This turns out to operate the vehicle with ease so that even a
child or old people can lift the vehicle with ease. Principle of hydraulic jack is to lift the heavy loads by using
less force. The device is accomplished of exerting great force. It forces the liquid against a piston; pressure is
occupied in the container of the jack. According to Pascal's law the pressure of a liquid in a container is the
same at all points While designing any hydraulic concepts use of pasacal’s law is more essential as hydraulic
operations works on pascals law only

platform is the one of the vertical lifting equipment, which can be used indoor or outdoor with a considerable
extensive space. It can be used in the mechanical industries, automatic production lines, the basements and
physical distribution lines and so on. In order to fulfill the more and more using areas, scissors lift platform must
be given higher and higher loading capability, faster and faster moving velocity and more and more steady
starting and stopping of the platform.

III. Problem Statement

Presently the procedure of tyre changing in automobiles in case of tyre failure is very much time
consuming and requires a lot of human efforts. So, there is need to come up with different techniques which can
reduce human efforts as well as time in case of tyre failure of automobile.

III-a) Objectives
 To reduce the point load acting on a tyre of a heavy loaded truck
 To increase life of tyres
 To reduce damage caused to tyre
 It allows driver to lift the vehicle with the help of one button.
 It becomes easy to remove and fix the tyre in case of an inflated.

III-b) Scope-
The arrangement of inbuilt hydraulic jack is used for lifting of heavy vehicles like trucks by making
more modification this arrangement can be used in real life for lifting of heavy loaded vehicles.

III-c) Methodology
In our present project we are going to design a inbuilt hydraulic jack system which is essential for
lifting of heavy vehicle with ease so that it can save efforts and time to change the tyre in case if tyre gets
inflated . The arrangement is done by making use of hydraulic bottle jack , cam , and motor so that the rotary
motion of motor will be converted into reciprocating motion of hydraulic jack which will help us to lift vehicle
whenever necessary.

IV. Experimental Setup

VI- a) MATERIAL REQUIRED
 Hydraulic bottle jack
The hydraulic bottle jack consist of saddle, extension screw, ram, Cylinder, handle sleeve, handle
assembly, carry handle and release valve. Pressure is applied to the handle assembly. When pressure is applied
on handle of hydraulic jack it helps to lift the ram of jack. The pressure release valve which is present at bottom
of hydraulic jack helps to release pressure caused inside the hydraulic jack when it is in working condition.

 Cam
A cam is a projecting part of a rotating wheel or shaft that strikes a lever at one or more points on its
circular path. The use of cam in our project is to convert the rotary motion into linear or reciprocating motion
with the help of connecting rod which connects the cam and hydraulic jack so that the jack would get lift with
ease by simply pressing button.

 Hydraulic jack
The weight to be lifted is 100 kg or 1000N. Let us find out the effort required by the human.
Formula:
F=PxA
1000 = P x π/4 x (50x 10^-3)2
P = 1000x4/ π x (50x 10^-3)2
P = 509.29 x 103 N/M2
Force required at the working piston:
F=PxA
= 509.29103 π/4 x (15x 10^-3)2
F = 90N =9 kg.
Therefore the force to be applied at the working piston is 90N, which is 10 times lesser than the weight to be
lifted.
