23-04-2016 DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF STAIR CLIMBER. Team members— *K.Yaswanth(1401me23) anesh( me25) , : *P.V.Kishore(1401me48) DESIGN CONCEPT This project aims at developing a mechanism for easy transportation of heavy loads over stairs. The need for such a system arises from day-to-day requirements in our society. Devices such as hand trolleys are used to relieve the stress of lifting while on flat ground. Although this model is existing we aimed at improving this by giving motion to tires using motor and gears23-04-2016 MATERIALS REQUIRED x Acrylic sheet x» Steel rods x Mild steel plates » Rubber for covering of tires » DC Motors » Nuts & bolts x Disc brake METHODOLOGY-— » Two hubs are required which are prepared by Wire EDM. » Six tyres are required which are prepared by CO2 laser and they are covered with rubber. » Eight gears are prepared by CO2 laser. x Rods are used by bending and welding . x Sheets are attached by brazing23-04-2016 ASSEI = *Steps for assembly coor vngmnoton es ES oe ] © ASSEMBLY-23-04-2016 “ye Files- Indl trecet Hub +Heaverage height of staiy-t60m 1 (radius of te}5.em +A radius of holes)0.39em »Ridistance of tyre center from centre of hub}-22em “W.227em *$.20.78em23-04-2016 CALCULATIONS- FORCE NECESSARY TO PULL THE TROLLEY Wornnuae lead determhab'in Fon = wey £.

Though the initial cost of the project seemed to be higher but more accurate manufacturing would shorten this. As far the commercial aspects of this product are concerned, if this product can be fully automated and produced at a lower cost the acceptance will be unimaginable. Presently, there are no competitors for such a kind of product in our market.
