Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

Cleaning is a necessary factor of daily routine process. Directly and indirectly, good cleaning and sanitizing promote and safeguard human health. To maintain the area around us clean, we utilize the road cleaner. so that we can roam the streets feeling revitalized. Robots, diesel engines, electric motors, and other technologies are frequently employed to clean the ground and roads in the age of contemporary technology. But these procedures are difficult to carry out, produce a lot of pollution, and require a lot of upkeep. Therefore, user-friendly road and floor cleaning equipment must be developed in order to conserve energy and protect the environment. A machine that must be manually operated in order to replace the standard electric cleaning machine. A set of wheels that are fixed to the dust-cleaning machine system and connected by a shaft. The shaft connects the wheels to each other. With the use of manual force that can manage it, the wheels are shifted to the proper position. At either side, a chain drive connects the wheels and gear. The wheel and gear determine how the chain is moved. The brush sweeps up any debris on the road and deposits it in the waste-collection box while travelling in the opposite direction of the wheels. To dispose of the waste where you want it to go, remove the waste collection box. We used such type of materials for manufacturing of road cleaning machine finally. We have observed that all the components are with in safe limit in the manually operated road cleaning machine.

Cleaning machine is very much useful in cleaning around us like road and ground and our colleges campus and outside ground and public place etc. In modern days interior as well as outside cleaning are becoming an important role in our life. Cleaning of waste is a very important one for our health and reduces the man power requirement. Many of road cleaning machines are available but we developed machine is very simple in construction and easy to operate. Anybody can operate this machine easily. Hence it is very useful in cleaning the cricket ground, any large area space. The time taken for cleaning is very less and the cost is also very less. Maintenance cost is less. Much type of machines is widely used for this purpose. In our project we have made the machine to operate in a fully mechanical way with a little amount of electrical components. The Floor cleaner is of very simple construction and is very easy to operate; anyone can operate it without any prior training of any sorts with safety. Cleaning is essential need of this generation. Basically in colleges ground cricket ground and road for cleaning regularly different...rotary motion on the floor which cleans the dirt or dust. The remaining water on the floor is wiping by the wiper present in end of the cleaning machine.

Road cleaning machines or floor cleaning machines are used in private as well as commercial area such as hospitals, bus stand, malls, lawns, floors etc.

Many of these devices required high amount of electricity or fuel like petrol diesel for their operation. They produce enough pollution to pollute environment. So in order to save energy and save nature, it is need to develop low cost, user friendly road cleaning machine. Our focus is to develop a machine which should be operated manually so that it can be alternative for conventional electric road cleaning machine. In this work we have done modeling and analysis of the road cleaning machine. We used such type of materials for manufacturing of road cleaning machine finally. We have observed that all the components are with in safe limit in the manually operated road cleaning machine.

II. PROBLEM DEFINITION

1. The conventional road sweeper machines used for cleaning streets and public areas contribute to environmental pollution and resource depletion due to their reliance on fossil fuels, emission of harmful pollutants, and inefficient waste management practices.
2. In light of increasing environmental concerns and regulatory pressures, there is a pressing need to develop eco-friendly road sweeper machines that minimize environmental impact, reduce energy consumption, and promote sustainable cleaning practices.
3. In response to these challenges, the development of an eco-friendly road sweeper machine presents an opportunity to mitigate environmental harm while improving cleaning efficiency and operational effectiveness.
4. The proposed road sweeper machine aims to incorporate sustainable technologies such as electric propulsion systems, renewable energy sources, advanced waste management systems, and efficient cleaning methods to achieve.

VI. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

For superior industrial/professional cleaning and sweeping needs, use a mechanical sweeper. The dust and debris are propelled to a great extent by the brooms' motion. hefty machinery. Machine with High Pressure.

Cleaning machines come in quite handy when it comes to cleaning floors and outdoor areas in public spaces such as bus stops, stores, auditoriums, and hospitals. Although there are several floor cleaning machines on the market, the one we designed is really straightforward to assemble and use.

Anyone may simply run this equipment. For this reason, it is highly helpful in hospitals and other vast spaces. Both the time and the cost of cleaning are quite low. There are lower maintenance costs.

We built the machine in our project such that it functions entirely mechanically.

A. Testing Output

After conducting an examination and observation, it was evident that a machine-cleaned area yielded a significantly cleaner and dust-free surface compared to an area cleaned manually with a basic broom. However, it was noted that the machine's fast brush speed might lead to the forceful dispersion of dust particles.

In situations where there is a power outage, the manual eco-friendly road cleaner serves as an ideal substitute for automatic road cleaning machines, especially considering that traditional road cleaning equipment typically relies on fuel or diesel, contributing to pollution and noise. Moreover, manual cleaning exposes individuals directly to dust, potentially causing health issues such as shoulder strain.

To address these concerns, an environmentally friendly road cleaner operated manually offers a viable solution. Despite its manual operation, this cleaner can cover a significant area efficiently, saving both time and cost compared to existing machinery. Additionally, it proves to be cost-effective and provides employment opportunities, particularly for unskilled individuals who require such jobs.

During testing, it was observed that the manually operated eco-friendly road cleaner may face challenges in effectively cleaning severely broken or bumpy roads. However, the manual labor required for operating the machine ensures job opportunities for individuals who may lack formal education or specialized skills.
