Abstract:

Aim of this paper is to develop a mechanism for cleaning domestic cylindrical water tank. The mechanical system includes simple mechanisms which includes a main shaft (hollow MS pipe) to which linkages are welded and again extension pipes are connected to linkages by means of nut and bolt. Brushes are connected to the extension pipe. This whole mechanism is attached to the motor shaft. PVC brushes are attached to the ends of the extension pipe. Extension pipe is made in such a way that it can be adjusted according to inside diameter of the tank. When the motor is started the linkage rotates and with the help of brushes, cleaning of wall and base of tank takes place. The purpose of this project is to reduce the human efforts and to avoid the chemical influence on health of person entering the tank for cleaning.
