CHAPTER 1 : INTRODUCTION

1.1 Problem Summary

In earth movers like JCB there are lots of movement necessary for dig a pit
so, we introduce BUCKET WHEEL DIGGING MACHINE for reduction of
extra movement and it gives better efficiency than any other machines.

In our design there are number of bucket fitted on cutter periphery. They
give immediate digging. Else in machine hydraulic mechanism placed for proper
functioning of movement for rotor Assembly.

1.2 Aim and Objective of the project

Our aim is to make a machine which reduces laborious work and it reliable
to use in small areas which need some few orders for actuating and also make sure
that it away from dangerous situation.

And This machine can also have easy controls for neccesary movements.
While any other machines it takes too much focused for movements in particular
Direction.

1.3 Problem Specification

(1)In JCB there is lots of movement necessary for dig a one pit. It has some
dangerous situations and number of bucket moving action held.

(2)Also for fine coal loading in train wegons one jcb needed to work too
much.also that machine need to work precisely.

(3)For lake renovation or say lake enlargement also bulldozers used.it also
contains lots off heavy work.
1.4 Literature
We had seen some video related to mountain cutter so, which makes us to
think in small areas digging. Whereas which applicable in place of JCB.

1.5 Plan of Work

First we think about our machine. Is it really possible or not ? Then after we
watch some videos related to our work strategy for our components is it really
actually possible or not. Also googled for our planning.

And then we go through with paper Prototype, and yes it worked properly.
Then we leads to build our actual prototype.

1.6 Tools Required

NX 10

-Model designing

-Motion Simulation

LATHE MACHINE

-For Build Actual Machine

CHAPTER 2 : DESIGN
2.1 Design Methodology
Buckets are mounted on periphery of wheel. When we start the machine then
the bucket wheel start to digging work.

Half Cut view of our actual model.

 - Model of our project. Full mounting and with hydraulic assembly. We
also makde a simulation of working BWDM. it's rotation and all.

In NX 10 we actually made a model.

First we sketch all parts in NX then we extrude it to make a perfect model.

After that we assembled it as per our design.

2.2 Design Analysis

For our made model/prototype we analysed/calculated many things which

we share here. But it's fully depends on our prototype.

First we introduce dimensions of our prototype.

1) Diameter of main Cylinder = 15 cm

Length of main Cylinder = 100 cm

Revolution for main Cylinder = 30 rpm

2) Design of Buckets :

Diameter : 2.5 cm

Length : 4.5 cm

Cylindrical Volume = 2*π*r*h

= 2*3.14*1.25*4.5

= 35.325 cm^3/bucket

For 3 buckets Total Volume

= 3*35.325

= 105.975 cm^3
3) Claculate for velocities required for rotation of Cylinder

V'= (π*D*N)/60

= 23.45 cm/s

4) Calculation of Spiral Mechanism

Revolution for spiral = 10 times of velocity given to the main cylinder

= 300

In theorytical calculation:

V'' = (π*D*N)/60

= (3.14*14*300)/60

= 243.35 cm/s

Here , we rotates both spiral and main cylinder (which attached with buckets) in
opposite direction for builed relative motion. It is really works and provide better
removal rate.

V = V' + V"

= 23.45 + 243.35

= 266.8 cm/s

266.8 cm/s is actual velocity obtain from this method.

It’s kind of special purpose machine so, desired person or company can buy.
A machine can work efficiently so, indirectly it is useful and work full.

 CHANNELS

We make advertisement for our product.

Work fullness of our machine can attract customer so, it can be enrich our sell.

 CUSTOMERS SEGMENTS

Mainly we typed with earth Mover Company.

Indirectly it is job type production.

CHAPTER 3: IMPLEMENTATION

- Our first Prototype of peoject which made from paper sheet and pvc
pipe.
-
We attached four buckets on given cylindrical pipe.

- One spiral Mechanism exist in between that main cylinder which

situated on pvc pipe.

- It also rotates as we expected.

- Side view of our prototype.

✓ Actual Comonents of our model :

1) Main Cylinder with 3 drilled holes :

2)

Spiral Mechanism which situated between main cylinder :

3) Two Bearing Attached for Relative motion :

Finishing in Our College Workshop.

FULL MODEL :

It is an attachment part of jcb.

CHAPTER 4: SUMMARY

4.1 ADVANTAGES

 Our machine can reduce the time loss.

 It can also reduce the unnecessary movements held in machine like jcb.
 Number of buckets can give a huge amount of material mass flow rate.
 Buckets can easily dig with continuous rotation.
 It can reduce the labourious work.
 Easy to control of machine.
 Machine operations also quiet easy.
 It gives efficiently work output.
 Compare to Bulldozers it gives far better result.

4.2 FUTURE SCOPE

It is possible that our model can replace today's machinery for particular
purpose. Indeed, it can do this in many areas specifically coal loading, mining,
Material Excavation, Land digging.

Also, in further research on this machine can improve it's efficiency and also
get better work from our project.

4.3 FEATURES OF PROJECT

 We planned for this project on the basis of machine Bagger 293 which is
already available in the world. But we implemented some different things which
can make this machine more efficient.

• SPIRAL MECHANISM

Actually we watched videos related to water piping from low level to high
level via screw mechanism. And we implemented that principle here for material
handling as happenes in case of water.

• NUMBER OF BUCKETS

Also we have idea about coal Transportation to the plant at higher distances
via Train Wegons. The coal loaded in wegon with using of bulldozers, we think it
can also replace with our machine for reduction of time loss, precise controls and
loading issues.
 • HYDRAULIC MECHANISM

It can provide needed movements of Bucket wheel.

• HIGH TORQUE ELECTRIC MOTORS

It use for Rotation of Main cylinder and spiral Mechanism/ Screw

Mechanism.
