ABSTRACT
FACULTY OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, PARUL UNIVERSITY
India is an agriculture based country in which, 70% of people depends on the
outcome of farming. But if we observe that with increase in population the farm
gets distributed among the family and because of this, farmer in India held
averagely only two acre farm. Also economically, farmers are very poor due to
which they are unable to purchase tractors and other costly equipments hence
they use traditional method of farming. Basically, many farmers in India also use
bullocks, horses and he-buffalo for farming operation. This will not satisfy need
world. So We are thinking that human and animal efforts can be replaced by
some advance mechanization which will be suitable for small scale farmer from
economical and effort point of view. So we are developing this equipment which

The project work subject is one, in which actually we are leaning the theoretical concepts in
practical way. Also the practical experience is one of the aims of this subject. For a developing
industry these operating performed and the parts or components produced should have its
minimum possible production cost, then only the industry runs profitably.
The increase in demand for the different kind of sprinkler machine is arise. The Framers are not
capable to purchase all these machine individually, so we are here designing the project which
functionally satisfy almost three machine requirements. The rigidness of such mechanical automatic
machines hinders the changing patterns of the consumer expectations.
This field faces some problems such as how to maximize the profit, how to increase productivity and
how to reduce the cost. In India, two types of agricultural equipment are used, manual method
(conventional method) and mechanized type. Mechanization involves the use of a hybrid device
between the power source and the work. This hybrid device usually transfers motion, such as rotary
to linear, or provides ample of mechanical advantages such as increase or decrease or leverage of
velocity. Sprinkler machinery is machinery used in farming or other agriculture.
Sprinkling is the basic operation that performed in all agriculture activity. We are design the
prototype that satisfies the basic need. Small-size farms are a huge issue in mechanization because of
it’s against of the economics of scale. These problems are classified into technological constraints,
financial and economic problems, and environmental issues. There are machines available in the
market nowadays which are generally used for large-scale farming and thus are not suitable for
small-scale farming conditions of the user. Big machineries involve higher cost and also high
maintenance cost, which are not affordable for the users. Poor rural infrastructures such as roads,
bridges, canals, and power network are one of the main obstacles in this sector. Also, in developing
countries, farm labor is also a big issue. The income of farmers remains also very low and the wages
for farm labors are increasing day by day. As Indian farmers are not much educated and are from
rural area, they don’t possess much machine operating skills; hence usage of complicated machines
is not useful
Multifunctional sprinkler machine mainly focuses on the basic problems faced by fellow farmers. i.e.
Seed bowing, fertilizers spraying and cultivation. We are looking this project as revolution in small
farms in India, which is most uncovered area in this sector,
Pesticide sprayer
Plowing
Seeding
Higher efficiency
Easy to conveyance
System is compact
Portable
Our machine works on different working principle. Put the seeds and fertilizer in the box as per its
capacity. When a pair of bull pulls the machine, the motion Is transmitted to the fluted roller seed
cup from sprocket at ground wheel through the chain. The fluted roller seed cup is having the
arrangement of seed cut-off and controlling flap to control the amount of seeds and fertilizers. The
Shovel type furrow openers open the furrows in the soil the seeds and fertilizers will get placed in
the furrows through the guide pipes. In this way the seeds and fertilizers are placed in the furrows at
proper distance and this machine maintains the proper row spacing.
At the side end of the machine, we attached Pesticide pump and storage tank, with two individual
nozzle. Storage tank contains pump and pump is operated by battery. Another attachment to the
machine for ploughing of soil. After ploughing we attach two seed feeder, so at exact place of
ploughing we can add seed.
1.5) ADVANTAGES
1.6) DISADVANTAGES
1. Design is complicated
2. Need Accuracy
3. Initial Cost high
1.7) APPLICATIONS
We are creating a MULTIFUNCTIONAL SPRINKLER MACHINE which can perform many operations such
as seed bowing, fertilizer spraying and grass eruption from roots.
In order to carry out this work we have undergone extensive literature survey and contribution of by
various authors is as follows,
(1) D.A. Mada, Sunday Mahai, [2013], In this research paper author has mentioned importance of
mechanization in agricultural by giving examples. The conclusion from the paper was need of
multifunctional single axel vehicle for pre and post harvesting . We have taken this as base for our
research and further production of our multifunctional agricultural vehicle.
(2) V.K. Tewari, A. Ashok Kumar, Satya Prakash Kumar, Brajesh Nare[2012] In this research papers
author have done case study on farm mechanization in west Bengal as being part of India it give clear
status about availability and progress in India. This ensured us to take right steps compared to
current steps.
(3) F.A. Adamu, B. G. Jahun and B. Babangida [2014]In this paper authors draws our attention
towards the performance factor of a power tiller. Among those demand for light weight power tiller
was sought out most.Fuel efficiency and field capacity such parameters are also discussed. We taken
those points in consideration while designing a sustainable multifunctional agricultural vehicle.
(4) David D. Wilson and John H. Lumkes[2015] In this papers authors have used certain multipurpose
machine with help of this paper we were able to derive our attention to broader way also how
attachments can be used for making a model more useful in efficient and sustainable way.
(5)Mohammad Muneer Uz Zaman Author have emphasized on designing parameters of the grass
cutter and he done research on reduction of cost of the material to be used. We taken this
information for our design our one of the attachment which is related to grass cutter.
(7) Adamade, C.A. and Jackson B.A. [2014] fellow researcher worked on Mechanization is recognized
as the necessary major means needed to accelerate agricultural production and create a period of
surplus in Nigeria. Indeed food sufficiency can only be attained in Nigeria by encouraging and
promoting local designs and manufacture of implements and equipment at low cost. We have taken
the useful data from this research paper.
(8) Parminder Kamboj, Rohinish Khurana, Anoop Dixit [2012] Disc harrow, tractor, lase leveller,
rotavator, BT cotton seed drill are available in more than 85% of societies. Tractors which are
available in societies are ranging from 50-60 hp. Most of the hiring charges vary from 25-40 Rs. h-1
except that of laser leveller whose hiring charge is 500 Rs. h-1 and tractor hiring charge is 150-250 Rs.
h-1 and rotavator hiring charge is 70-80 Rs. h-1. In more than 70% of the societies, annual use of the
rotavator was 550 h. and annual usage of tractor.
(10) P. Šařec, O. Šařec [2015] The lowest values of soil penetration resistance below the cultivated
profile were determined with the cultivators equipped with chisel shaped shares, i.e. in the case of
Farmet and Köckerling. Cultivators Väderstad TopDown 400 and Farmet Turbulent 450 showed good
capacity in embedding plant residues. This results have taken for our research basis.

problems and how to overcome some of the problems can be found.
CHAPTER-5
The components of the project which are required to design are listed below, they are…
5.1 DC MOTOR
DC motor is an electric motor driven by an direct current (DC). The DC motor commonly
consists of two basic parts, an outside stationary stator having coils supplied with alternating
current to produce a rotating magnetic field, and an inside rotor attached to the output shaft
producing a second rotating magnetic field. The rotor magnetic field may be produced by
permanent magnets, reluctance saliency, or DC or AC electrical windings.
Less commonly, linear DC motors operate on similar principles as rotating motors but have
their stationary and moving parts arranged in a straight line configuration, producing linear
motion instead of rotation. We are using 12 V DC 0.5 HP motor for our project.
5.2 SHAFT
A drive shaft, driveshaft, driving shaft, propeller shaft (prop shaft), or Cardan shaft is a
mechanical component for transmitting torque and rotation, usually used to connect other
components of a drive train that cannot be connected directly because of distance or the
need to allow for relative movement between them. An axle is a central shaft for a rotating
wheel or gear. On wheeled vehicles, the axle may be fixed to the wheels, rotating with them,
or fixed to the vehicle, with the wheels rotating around the axle. In the former case, bearings
or bushings are provided at the mounting points where the axle is supported.
As torque carriers, drive shafts are subject to torsion and shear stress, equivalent to the
difference between the input torque and the load. They must therefore be strong enough to
bear the stress, whilst avoiding too much additional weight as that would in turn increase
their inertia.
To allow for variations in the alignment and distance between the driving and driven
components, drive shafts frequently incorporate one or more universal joints, jaw couplings,
or rag joints, and sometimes a splined joint or prismatic joint..
5.3 COUPLING
A sleeve coupling consists of a shaft whose bore is finished to the required tolerance based
on the shaft size. Based on the usage of the coupling a keyway is made in the bore in order
to transmit the torque by means of the key. Two threaded holes are provided in order to lock
the coupling in position.
Sleeve couplings are also known as Box Couplings. In this case shaft ends are coupled
together and abutted against each other which are enveloped by muff or sleeve. A gib head
sunk keys hold the two shafts and sleeve together. in other words, this is the simplest type of
the coupling. It is made from the cast iron and very simple to design and manufacture. It
consists of a hollow pipe whose inner diameter is same as diameter of the shafts. The hollow
pipe is fitted over a two or more ends of the shafts with the help of the taper sunk key, a key
and sleeve are useful to transmit power from one shaft to another shaft. A coupling is a type
of general purpose power transmission coupling that also can be used in motion control
(servo) applications. It is designed to transmit torque (by connecting two shafts) while
damping system vibrations and accommodating misalignment, which protects other
components from damage. Jaw couplings are composed of three parts: two metallic hubs
and an elastomeric insert called an element, but commonly referred to as a "spider". The
three parts press fit together with a jaw from each hub fitted alternately with the lobes of
the spider. Jaw coupling torque is transmitted through the elastomer lobes in compression.
The elastomeric of the spider can be made in different materials and hardness, which allows
the user to customize the coupling to best serve their application. Considerations for
elastomeric selection include ability to dampen vibration, ability to handle misalignment,
operational temperature range, speed of equipment, and chemical conditions
5.4 BEARING:-
The bearing will rest inside the flange and will be covered in oil. The purpose of the bearing
is to take the torque load from the flange and not transmit it to the end piece to allow for a
successful clutch actuation.
In most applications, one race is stationary and the other is attached to the rotating
assembly (e.g., a hub or shaft). As one of the bearing races rotates it causes the balls to
rotate as well. Because the balls are rolling they have a much lower coefficient of friction
than if two flat surfaces were sliding against each other. Ball bearings tend to have lower
load capacity for their size than other kinds of rolling-element bearings due to the smaller
contact area between the balls and races. However, they can tolerate some misalignment of
the inner and outer races.
The bearing will rest inside the flange and will be covered in oil. The purpose of the bearing
is to take the torque load from the flange and not transmit it to the end piece to allow for a
successful clutch actuation.
5.5 STRUCTURE:-
Our whole project will be set on the structure only. This is the main part of the project
A machine structure is a fixed constructed object which functions as part of some
mechanized process or which performs mechanized processes independently. The various
types of machine structures may differ vastly from each other in appearance. These do not
include structures built to shelter or enclose machinery; the machinery must be inextricably
linked to the structure's form.
5.6 BATTERY
A battery converts chemical energy into electrical energy by a chemical reaction. Usually
the chemicals are kept inside the battery. In order to choose the most convenient 12V
battery. The characteristics that were taken into consideration in this decision were: price,
amp hours, size, weight and energy density.
It is used in a circuit to power other components. A battery produces direct current (DC)
electricity. Using the electricity from an outlet in a house or building is cheaper and uses
less energy, but a battery can provide electricity in areas that do not have electric power
distribution. It is also useful for things that move, such as electric vehicles and mobile
phones. Increased values of for the power draw were used to compensate for undesirable
conditions.
Advantages:-
Low cost.
Tolerant to overcharging.
Low maintenance.
Disadvantages:-
Typical columbic charge efficiency only 70% but can be as high as 85% to 90% for
special designs.
Must be stored in a charged state once the electrolyte has been introduced to avoid
deterioration of the active chemicals.
A pump is a device that moves fluids (liquids or gases), or sometimes slurries, by mechanical
action. Pumps can be classified into three major groups according to the method they use to
move the fluid: direct lift, displacement, and gravity pumps.
Pumps operate by some mechanism (typically reciprocating or rotary), and consume energy
to perform mechanical work by moving the fluid. Pumps operate via many energy sources,
including manual operation, electricity, engines, or wind power, come in many sizes, from
microscopic for use in medical applications to large industrial pumps.
Advantages of D.C. Motor Pump:-
Easy to install.
Runs dry without system.
Massive 100PSI high pressure.
Totally sealed, high stable pressure.
Self priming, silent running, low power consumption.
Easy connecting system.
Motor duty cycle will vary with load and ambient temperature.
A tank is a one type of device where we can store the liquid. In our module; The pesticide is
stores into tank. The submersible pump is also fitted into the tank. The tank capacity in our
module is approximate about 5 liters. The tank is located on the back side of the farmer. The
nozzle is attach with the tank. The solar panel is also situate on the storage tank
5.9 NOZZLE:-
It is a device which spray the liquid with high compressed ability & pressure. Due to this, the
liquid surface area is increase. So, we can cover the more surface area.
Fig 5.5
Spraying Nozzle
Basically, nozzle is atomized the liquid. In our module; The nozzle is used for spray the
pesticide. with the help of the pump, pesticide is comes into a nozzle from the tank. Now,
nozzle can pressurized the pesticide & thrown by the outlet of nozzle. we can increase or
decrease the flow of pesticide with the help of valve which is fitted on to the nozzle.
The spraying of pesticide is depend on the nozzle. There are different types of nozzle to get
different types of flow of pesticide.

MOTOR SELECTION
For our project we are using 0.5 HP MOTOR.
0.5 HP = 372.5 WATTS
RPM of motor = 50
We know that
P = 2 x π x N x T / (60)
372.5 = 2 x π x 50 x T / (60)
T = 71.27 N.mtr
T = 71270 N.mm
Speed V = Π x D x N / 60 mm/s
Speed V = 130.83 mm/s
Speed V = 0.0130.83 m/s
DESIGN OF SHAFT
Now, We know torque is 5099.9 N
Shaft Dia = ds
Now,
Torque Transmitted to the Shaft
T = π/16 x (ds)3 x τms
71270 = π/16 x (ds)3 x 35
(ds)3=7375.97
ds = 19.46 mm
We are selecting Diameter of Shaft 25 mm
l = length of weld
A = 0.707 x 5 x ( 75 + 40 + 35 + 58 +35 )
A = 0.707 x 5 x 243
A = 859 mm2
F b = 80 N / mm2
As load applied at the end of lever is 250 N . So moment generated at the welded joint is
M =P x L= 250x 450= 112500 N – mm
we know f b = M /Z
Z = {BH3 - bh3 }/ 6 H
Z = {40×753 -35 x 583 }/6 x 75
Z = 209824
CHAPTER 5
CONCLUSION
6.1 CONCLUSION
After designing and analysis we conclude that this machine can easily perform all operation.
Also due to having very compact, flexible and easy design attributes and mechanisms used it
is very cost effective as well as efficient compare to the currently market available
agriculture cutting machine. Therefore we are thankful to our project guide and project
head for fine guidance and support. Also due to this much of work out put we can get it is
correct to give this machine a name “AGRICULTURE MULTIPURPOSE SPRINKALER
MACHINE”
6.2 Future Scope
