VPM1023 Design and Fabrication of Crop Cutting Machine Lokesh 6383867690

This document describes the design and fabrication of a crop cutting machine. The machine was developed to help farmers harvest crops easily and quickly. It is designed for small farms and fields in Bihar, UP, Uttarakhand and Punjab. The machine works by using wheels and a system of shafts, sprockets, chains and gears to transfer rotation from the wheels to a vertical shaft with a cutter. It has advantages like being eco-friendly, low cost, not requiring labor or power, and being suitable for small farms. However, it is not suitable for large areas. The machine works as designed and saves time over manual sickle harvesting while being affordable for poor farmers.

DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF CROP CUTTING

MACHINE

SYNOPSIS

In this project a mechanism is being developed for harvesting of crop


cutter so that harvesting can be done easily in minimum period of time. •
The mechanism will be used to cut the crop and that will be a help for
farmers. • The dimensions and specification are taken as per the convenience
of location of Bihar, UP, Uttarakhand and Punjab and also as per availability
of standard parts. • Basically, the design is done according to the need of
small farmers at very low price. It is fabricated for small piece of land.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

When the worker will push machine with the handle then wheels
starts rotating. • On shaft the sprocket is mounted having chain drive
with 2nd shaft having freewheel and cycle wheel which transfer the
rotation to the 3rd shaft .On this shaft the bevel gear is attached to
both the ends then with the help of bevel gears this rotation is
transmitted to vertical shaft having cutter at the end. • Due to the
teeth ratio of bevel gears, rotation is maintain and power is obtained
for cutting purpose.

MERITS

Advantages:  Eco- friendly.  No need of any power source at manually


operated.  Less cost.  No labour required for cutting.  Mostly suitable
for small farm owner.  Easy to handle & operate.  Less maintenance. 
DEMERIT

Not used for high area


APPLICATIONS
Ø The model works correctly as per the design With the help of this
system,
Less time required compare to sickle.  Also use for grass cutting. 
Easy to afford for poor farmer.  Good field performance.
