Design and Fabrication of Multipurpose Semi-Automatic Bag Filling Machine for Agricultural Cereals in Mills

Abstract

In mills and agricultural fields grains are collected by means of number of labors and more time consumption. In order to limit the time and work wages a simple mechanical heaping machine is been constructed to handle with less labors. The main objective of this project is to heap the paddy and also to clean the garden in an effective manner with simple adjustments and less remuneration. In this machine the driving shaft of the wheel is welded with sprockets on either side of the shaft. Grain collecting machines it is operated fully in a mechanical means. In modern grain handling machines, the grains are collected by means of vacuum suction and it requires external power supply.

Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

 We all know that Agriculture is the back bone of India. In this modern world however the technologies are improved and new modes of business types has emerged Agriculture has its own forms of development through evolution of new machineries and new varieties of crop yield is been employed. Industrial Revolution and the development of more complicated machines, farming methods took a great leap forward Instead of harvesting by hand with a sharp blade, wheeled machines cut a continuous swath. Instead of threshing the grain by beating it with objects such as rods, threshing machines separated the seeds from the heads and stalks.By following this process, the grains are being collected and dried by means of large number of labors. In order to cut short, the labor usages and to reduce time consumptions, manually operated heaping machine is employed in order to reduce the labor usage and reduce time consumption. Separating the grains from the soil and collecting them from the ground and in the groove of the land by hand and by holders is a hard work and time consuming to that is not precisely done. Hence the need for a machine to collect the grains in the field has been identified. The development of a growing population increases the need of food day by day. There are several solutions to increase the production of cereals.This study aims to determine the exact losses grains that are wasted on the ground and loss in the operation of harvesting and design and evaluate a collector capable of collecting the grains shattered in the field due to harvesting.This project aims to design and fabrication of collecting and storing of grains by manually. Main objective behind designing and fabricating the bagging and collecting of grains is to reduce the human effort and also reduce time taken for storing. This project mainly helpful to the former the problems faced by small scale farmers relating with availability of labors and cost of collecting and storing finally It is also capable of reducing time wastage, reduction in breakage of the grains. Problems faced by small scale farmers relating with availability of labors and cost of collecting. Automation can be achieved through computers, hydraulics, pneumatics, robotics, etc., of these sources; electronics form an attractive medium for low cost automation. Automation plays an important role in automobile. Nowadays almost all the automobile vehicle is being atomized in order to product the human being. The automobile vehicle is being atomized for the following reasons.

II. OBJECTIVE

In agricultural field, the by-product from the plants such as wheat, paddy, groundnut, etc are dried for removing the moisture in it. The collection of cereals done by workers by using their hands .In order to overcome the problems faced by the agricultural workers, we made a small solution in the form of a machine. This machine will make the work easier

III. WORKING PRINCIPLE

Load cell is fixed to the bottom of the grain collecting vehicle as shown in diagram. The strain gauge sensor is used to detect the load of the vehicle. The microcontroller unit is receiving the supply from the load cell. The display unit is interfaced to the microcontroller unit.

The vehicle load is displayed in the LED or LCD display.A vacuum based grain collector which collects the grains from concrete area or ground by suction process. The important components are Frame, V-plate, vacuum cleaner, load cell and wheel. Machine is electrically operated. As the machine is moved, grains are collected by V-plate. Due to vacuum, hose sucks the collected grains and is filled in the dustpan. When the machine is switched off, valve fixed below the dustpan gets (NRV) opened and grains directly fall into the collecting bag. Load cell fixed below the load bag will determine the weight and displayed automatically in the LED display.

Conclusion

This project work has provided us an excellent opportunity and experience, to use our limited knowledge. We gained a lot of practical knowledge regarding, planning, purchasing, assembling and machining while doing this project work. We feel that the project work is a good solution to bridge the gates between institution and industries. We are proud that we have completed the work with the limited time successfully. The “DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF MULTIPURPOSE SEMI-AUTOMATIC BAG FILLING MACHINE FOR AGRICULTURAL CEREALS IN MILLS ” is working with satisfactory conditions. We are able to understand the difficulties in maintaining the tolerances and also quality. We have done to our ability and skill making maximum use of available facilities.In conclusion remarks of our project work, let us add a few more lines about our impression project work. Thus we have developed a “DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF MULTIPURPOSE SEMI-AUTOMATIC BAG FILLING MACHINE FOR AGRICULTURAL CEREALS IN MILLS ” which helps to know how to achieve low cost automation. The operating procedure of this system is very simple, so any person can operate. By using more techniques, they can be modified and developed according to the applications.
