ABSTRACT cleaning-cum-wiping machine is new kind of concept which will enables the cleaning of the dust, stains present on the floor. This kind of mechanically operated device has a significant impact on improving people daily life work. It enables us to help people in various ways like cleaning out stains, dust and moping. Any of these processes could be performed independently thus it finds get utility. Keywords— suction section, cleaning agent section, moping section, drying. I.

INTRODUCTION

In today’s scenario the cleaning of the floor is basically done either manually or by robots which are specialized with just the dry cleaning of the floor, hence requiring more efforts and after the dry cleaning of the floor, if there is a need for the mopping then it is one of the most time taking as well as effort taking task. Hence the main motto of this project is removing the hurdle of cleaning and wiping, and as such no industry has made any kind of device which could simultaneously clean as well wipe. So, the use of this ―CLEANING-CUM-WIPING‖ increases significantly. Hence the time required for the cleaning would be reduced drastically and mopping could be done much more efficiently. It will basically comprise of a vacuum zone that will suck all the dust particles from the floor once the dry dirt particles are removed from the floor then comes the water spray zone where the ―cleaner is applied on the floor‖ which dilutes the stain or dirt present on the floor, afterwards the mopping of the floor takes place with the help of a circular rotating disc. It removes the diluted dust particles which get glued on the surface and once the mopping part is over with the help of drying fans the floor is cleaned.

A TECHNICAL VIEW OF PARTS

The working consists of a vacuum cleaning device which will create a pressure of 50-60 bar which will be strong enough to suck the dust particles present on the floor thereby collecting all the dust present on the floor. This machine will be mechanically operated by a person thus reducing cost and once the suction part is done then cleaning agent would be poured on the floor. By creating pressure which will enable to remove the stains present on the floor so that it could be diluted and once the stains are diluted the mopping will help in removing the stains completely from the floor and once the moping pat is done, then after that dryers fans are used which will quickly help in drying of the mopped floor. For the mopping purpose we will be using motor which is a bit slower with speed of 38-53 rpm. Whereas the base structure would be made of mild-steel because Mild steel, also called as plain-carbon steel, is the most common form of steel because its price is relatively low while it provides material properties that are acceptable for many applications, more so than iron. Low-carbon steel contains approximately 0.05–0.3% carbon making it malleable and ductile. Mild steel has a relatively low tensile strength, but it is cheap and malleable; surface hardness can be increased through carburizing

POWER SUPPLY 1) Supply for Vacuum Cleaner:. A typical domestic model vacuum has a suction of about negative 20 kPa. This means that it can lower the pressure inside the hose from normal atmospheric pressure (about 100 kPa) by 20 kPa. The higher the suction rating, the more powerful the cleaner. One inch of water is equivalent to about 249 Pa; hence, the typical

suction is 80 inches (2,000 mm) of water, =2.88psi. The power consumption of a cleaner, in Watts, is often the only figure stated. Many North American vacuum manufacturers only give the current in amperes and the consumer is left to multiply that by the line voltage of 120 volts to get the power ratings in Watts. The power does not indicate the effectiveness of the cleaner, only how much electricity it consumes. The amount of this power that is converted into airflow at the end of the cleaning hose is sometimes stated, and is measured in air watts: the units are simply watts; "air" is used to clarify that this is output power, not input electrical power. This is calculated using the formula: cleaning power (air watts) = airflow (CFM) × suction (inches of water) / 8.5 = airflow (m³/s) × suction (Pa) 2) a) b) c) d) e) f)
