 ABSTRACT

The goal is to build an electric vacuum cleaner using PVC. We

concluded that our project has a better durability and lifetime. We are
using rectifier to this vacuum cleaner so that the power of motor will be
high and effective. Though this machine uses rectifier this machine also
functions even by using low volts batteries. Materials used to build the
vacuum cleaner are pvc pipe, 12V DC motor, PVC end cap, PVC
reducer, etc….

 CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

A vacuum cleaner is also known as sweeper as hoover. It is a

device that users exhaust fan, to create a partial vacuum to suck up dust
and dirt, usually from floors and from other surfaces such as upholstery
and draperies. The dirt is collected in neither a dust bag or cyclone for
lateral disposal. Vacuum cleaners are used in home as well as in
industries. They exist in different models. Small hand-held devices,
wheeled devices for home use and well as in industries. They exist in
different models. Small hand-held devices, wheeled devices for home use
and central vacuum cleaners (huge stationary industrial appliances) can
handle several hundred litres of dust before being emptied.

LITERATURE SURVEY

Rajath et.al,2015 has explained about the vacuum cleaner and

deodorizing the atmosphere and what are the measures to be taken. He
has framed a model like foot operating vacuum cleaner using
microcontroller. He has fabricated the model using rollers, mild steel
material casting for the low cost and availability.

D.N.Dharamsena et.al,2005 he has developed model specially for the

environment like chilly grinding shop to remove the dust. As the chilly
grinding shop contains of minute particles of chilly powder in the
atmosphere in that shop, which are harmful for the human being and on
his health. In order to overcome this problem, he has developed the
model which removes the dust as well as give good fragrance in that
particular area where it is used.

PROBLEM DEFINITION

The cleaning process is an important one in everywhere the world.

To lead a healthy life, we should maintain our surrounding clean. But
time consumption is high for cleaning. In industries they use vacuum
cleaner for cleaning purpose. But this cleaner has low efficiency and have
an eligibility of sucking lighter materials and has low dust storage
capacity. These leads in requirement high of vacuum cleaner machines
and the heavier particles are cleaned manually.

 CHAPTER 4

WORKING PRINCIPLE

The vacuum cleaner such as tangential inlet flow cyclone in, the
dust laden gas rotates by flowing from the tangential connected inlet pipe
into the cyclone body, and dusts are separated by centrifugal force, while
the tangential inlet twin flow cyclone has the inlet flow in the centre of
the cyclone and the dust laden gas flows bi-directionally as shown. A
tangential inlet twin flow cyclone being capable of the treatment of high
flow rate is designed to decrease pressure drop through the cyclone.

PROCESS INVOLVED
6.1 CUTTING

Cutting is separation of a physical object, into two or more portions,

through the application of an acutely direction force. Cutting is a
impressive and shearing phenomenon occurs only when the total stress
generated by the cutting implement exceeds the ultimate strength of the
material of the object being cut.

6.2 PASTING

Pasting is the connection of a physical object, two more portions is

connected into single one, by using chemical such as glue, M-Seal.

6.3 DRILLING

Drilling is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut a hole of

circular cross-section in solid materials. The drill bit is rotary cutting
tool, often multipoint. The drill bit is pressed against the work piece and
rotated at rates from hundreds to thousands of revolution per minute. The
forces the cutting edge against the work piece, cutting off chips from the
hole as it is drilled.

7.1.1 12V DC MOTOR

This is small toy DC motor with about 29.5mm long leads. It has a
small circular shaft which measures about 2.8mm long. The motor has
operating voltage range of 1.5 to 4V DC and a no-load speed of 18000
RPM (@4.5VDC,70Ma). In the spindle the fan blade is connected to
rotate the fan.

7.1.2 PVC PIPE

We are using pvc pipe and fitting accessories in our project

because the durability of poly vinyl chloride. According to our previous
plan we have planned to use plastic bottle to reduce the cost of
production. But now we changed our plan to use pvc’s because of its
properties like non degradable, durability and lifetime of pvc.

FABRICATION

Here we used PVC pipes and accessories. Initially the small hole is
drilled in the PVC end cap so that the wire can be drawn out from that
hole. Then the small rectangular piece of sheet metal is taken and a hole
is drilled according to the size of DC motors front end. Then the motor is
inserted into the hole and it is tightened with the help of screw. Then the
blade is fixed with the shaft of the DC motor. Then the sheet metal was
bent to fix in the end cap and it is bolted. Then using the cloth cover the
end of PVC pipe for filtering purpose. Then fix all the parts like reducer
and pipes and accessories.

ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGES

10.1 ADVANTAGE

1. It is more efficiency

2. It is easy to handle

3. It can collect more dust

4. It is cheaper since we are using pvc

5.It is durable

10.2 DISADVANTAGE

1. It collect less dust

2. It required more space

18
 CONCLUSION

The fabrication of vacuum cleaner was completed successfully. It is

used to collect dusts and wastes using suction. It can be used efficiently
at home scale. The main focus of this project is for suction of heavier
particles. It is more efficient then the ordinary vacuum cleaner. Many
another new product can be developed using this process. It is including
the engineers to introduce many technical in products in domestic
purpose.
