Fabrication of Automated Pneumatic Board Cleaning System

Abstract

This board cleaning system has been developed to make human work easier and reduce the use of human power in cleaning the blackboard and whiteboards in teaching. This appertains to new and useful improvements of the system developed whereby
blackboard and whiteboards can be cleaned in an easy and convenient manner. This system has been developed taking into
consideration the difficulties faced by the Teachers while cleaning the whiteboard and the blackboard. It is seen that while
cleaning the board the teachers face lot of difficulties in one or the other way. The Teachers often have to cover their mouth with
one hand while cleaning the board by the other. By considering all the difficulties faced by Teachers this cleaning system has been
developed to make them feel comfort in teaching by overcoming the difficulties of cleaning the board. To develop this system the
concepts of both mechanical and electronics have been utilized. This cleaning system utilizes the compressed air and cleans the
black board and white boards automatically with the help of pneumatic cylinders. Depending on the size of the board the numbers of cylinders can be varied so that the cleaning task can be performed at a faster rate. These pneumatic cylinders perform on linear mechanism. It reduces the time consumption in erasing and avoids human fatigue that may result when performed manually. Cleaning task performed by this system will be more effective compared to manual cleaning. It eliminates the health hazardous problems also to a greater extent that may occur from the dust in manual cleaning.
