CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

Agriculture has been the backbone of the Indian economy and it will continue to remain so for a long time.
Agriculture is a branch of applied science. Agriculture is the science and art of farming including cultivating the soil,
producing crops and raising livestock. Over the years, agricultural practices have been carried out by small-holders
cultivating between 2 to 3 hectare, using human labor and traditional tools such as wooden plough, yoke, leveler,
harrow, mallot, spade, big sikle etc. These tools are used in land preparation, for sowing of seeds, weeding and
harvesting.

Modern agricultural techniques and equipments are not used by small land holders because these equipments are too
expensive and difficult to acquire. By adopting scientific farming methods we can get maximum yield and good
quality crops which can save a farmer from going bankrupt but majority of farmers still uses primitive method of
farming techniques due to lack of knowledge or lack of investment for utilizing modern equipment.

Hence in this work of project we decided to design a better mechanical machine which is available to the farmers at
a cheaper rate and also which can sow and seed the crop at the same time. This project also can be oprated using cell
phone,Bluetooth and SMS,to plough small land holdings, typically found in indian agriculture landscape.The robot
come with multiple features such as de-weeding, sowing, Ploughing .The robot is our first step towards building a
complete farmer kit.This idea if implemented on a commercial scale can benefit about 70% farmers of india and also
small gardens which are coming up in cities.

1.2 Major Challenges Faced By Indian Agriculture

1.2.1 Stagnation in Production of Major Crops:

Production of some of the major staple food crops like rice and wheat has been stagnating for quite some time. This
is a situation which is worrying our agricultural scientists, planners and policy makers. If this trend continues, there
would be a huge gap between the demand of ever growing population and the production.

10
1.2.2 High cost of Farm Inputs:

Over the years rates of farm inputs have increased. Farm inputs include fertilizer, insecticide, pesticides, HYV seeds,
farm labour cost etc. Such an increase puts low and medium land holding farmers at a disadvantage.

1.2.3 Depletion of Fresh Ground Water:

Most of the irrigation in dry areas of Punjab, Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh was carried out by excessive use
of ground water. Today fresh ground water situation in these states is alarming. In the coming few years if this type
of farming practice continues, these states are going to face water famine.

1.2.4 Impact of Globalization:

You can see the effect of globalization on the farm sector in India. All developing countries have been affected by
it. The most evident effect is the squeeze on farmer‘s income and the threat to the viability of cultivation in India.
This is due to the rising input costs and falling output prices. This reflects the combination of reduced subsidy and
protection to farmers.

1.2.5 Farmers Suicide:

Every suicide has a multiple of causes but when you have nearly 200,000 of them, it makes sense to seek broad
common factors within that group. The suicides appear concentrated in regions of high commercialization of
agriculture and very high peasant debt. Cash crop farmers seemed far more vulnerable to suicide than those growing
food crops. Yet the basic underlying causes of the crisis remained untouched. Commercialization of the countryside
along with massive decline in investment in agriculture was the beginning of the decline. Withdrawal of bank credit
at a time of soaring input prices and the crash in farm incomes compounded the problems. Shifting of millions from
food crop to cash crop cultivation had its own risks. Privatization of many resources has also compounded the
problems. The devastation lies in the big 5 States of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and
Chhattisgarh. These states accounted for two-thirds of all farm suicides during 2003-08.Some of the major factors
responsible are indebtedness, crop failure and deterioration in economic status. Decline in social position, exorbitant
charges by local money lenders for the vulnerable farmers, chronic illness in the family, addiction etc. have made
life of farmers difficult.

3.2 Idea Generation

About half of the total population of our country has chosen agriculture as their chief occupation.As centuries passed,
certain modern techniques were invented in agriculture due to the progress in science. These modern techniques
included the use of tractors for ploughing the field, etc.To improves the efficiency of the crop produced and also to
develop a better Mechanical machine to help the agriculture field which reduces the amount and time of work spent
on one crop.

21
Hence in this work of project we decided to design a better mechanical machine which is available to the farmers at
a cheaper rate and also which can sow and seed the crop at the same time. This project also can be operated using
cell phone,Bluetooth to plough small land holdings, typically found in indian agriculture landscape.The robot come
with multiple features such as de-weeding, collection dry leaves,and cutting grass.

At this stage we can convert this machine in fully automated by provided best possible mechanism, linkages, sensors
and Software. Innovative seed sowing equipment has grade influence on agriculture by this we can save more time
for sowing and It can be made automatic additive of multi hopper can be attached side by side for sawing of layer
farm, Planting distance and plant population are crucial factors in maximizing the yields of crops.

3.3 How The Idea Is Different From Existing Solution:

 There is no such machine is available in portable size.


 The Sowing technique is very good in comparison to Manual,Tractor etc..
 This machine minimizes various problems of Manual,Tractor etc.

3.4 Concept Selection finalization of design

3.4.1 Design of Automatic seed sowing machine

Material Selection
Material selection is a step in the process of designing any physical object. In the context of product design, the main
goal of material selection is to minimize cost while meeting product performance goals. Systematic selection of the
best material for a given application begins with properties and costs of candidate materials. Cost of materials plays
a very significant role in their material. Cost of materials plays a very important role in their selection. We initially
considered various materials for building of the PT such as mild steel, aluminium, stainless steel etc. We took in
consideration following properties of the material. The performance of an engineering component is limited by the
properties of the material of which it is made, and by the shapes to which this material can be formed. Under some
circumstances a material can be selected satisfactorily by specifying ranges for individual properties, and then the
best material is selected by maximizing one or more ‘performance indices’. Since cost is our most significant priority
M.S was selected for the purpose of fabrication of Personal Transport.
22
Motor Selection
Choosing a motor that is suited to the task at hand is one of the most important part of planning a robotics project.
There are categories of electric motors that are used in practical application and are easily available for purchase.
They are: Conventional DC motors, Stepper Motors, Servo Motors, BLDC. Each of these classes has several variants
and each has their advantage and disadvantage. We have selected motor on the basis of torque requirement and the
cost. Hence we selected conventional DC motor for the movement of conveyor belt. A stepper motor is an
electromechanical device which converts electrical pulses into discrete mechanical movements. The shaft or spindle
of a stepper motor rotates in discrete step increments when electrical command pulses are applied to it in the proper
sequence. Since stepper motor is very reliable, it has precise positioning and repeatability of movement so we have
selected stepper motor for the vacuum pump motion.

Chassis:-

A consists of an internal framework that supports a man-made object in its construction and use. It is
analogous to an animal's skeleton. An example of a chassis is the under part of a motor vehicle, consisting
of the frame (on which the body is mounted). If the running gear such as wheels is included then the assembly
is described as a rolling chassis.

Material Used In Chassis - Iron

Size of Chassis –1220mm x 419mm

PCB:-

A printed circuit board (PCB) mechanically supports and electrically connects electronic components using
conductive tracks, pads and other features etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive
substrate. PCBs can be single sided (one copper layer), double sided (two copper layers) or multi-layer.
Conductors on different layers are connected with plated-through holes called vias. Advanced PCBs may
contain components - capacitors, resistors or active devices - embedded in the substrate. Printed circuit boards
are used in all but the simplest electronic products.

23
Battery:-

An electric battery is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical
energy into electrical energy. Each cell contains a positive terminal, or cathode, and a negative terminal,

or anode. Electrolytes allow ions to move between the electrodes and terminals, which allows current to flow out
of the battery to perform work.

Battery: 7.5 Amp Hour 12 Volts Sealed Lead Acid Battery

Electric Motor:-

An electric motor is a device used to convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. Electric motors are
extremely important in modern-day life.

The basic principle on which motors operate is Ampere's law. This law states that a wire carrying an electric
current produces a magnetic field around itself.

Motor Diameter 28.5 mm

300 RPM base motor

No-load current = 800 mA,

Load current = up to 7.5 A(Max)

Solar panel:-

Solar panels are a great way of cutting your electricity We all want to live self-sustainably, or at least reduce the carbon footprint
of our home, and solar panels make that dream possible. The technology behind solar is relatively old, despite their futuristic
appeal, but while the basics are the same the efficiency of solar panels has improved greatly in recent years.

A solar cell is a solid-state electrical device (p-n junction) that converts the energy of light directly into electricity
(DC) using the photovoltaic effect. The process of conversion first requires a material which absorbs the solar energy
(photon), and then raises an electron to a higher energy state, leading flow of this high-energy electron to an external
circuit. Silicon is one such material that uses such process.

3.5 WORKING

When power supply is given to the Dc motor through solar panel it starts rotating at a finite speed. It also tends the
shafts and the gears to rotate at that finite speed as well. The another Dc motor motor which is connected with the
transport wheels is for the moving purpose of the project. The furrow opener is attached with the shafts and the seed
container. It is used to make furrow far making space for the seeds to plant. As the furrow opener digs the soil for
making space for the seeds, simultaneously seeds go down through the seeds container into the lane made by the
furrow opener. The furrow opener is attached with the circuitry of the shafts and gears. It works according the
movement of the gears and the shafts.

3.7 Factors that Influenced Design

 Scientific farming methods

 Precision farming

 Acceptance for all types of seed to seed farming

 Fool proofing.

 Portability of the equipment: our equipment is completely flexible for easy assembly and

 disassembly.

 Low cost

3.8 Scalability

Agriculture is the backbone of Indian economy. About half of the total population of our country has chosen
agriculture as their chief occupation. The states like Maharashtra, Punjab, and Kerala, Assam are highly involved in
agriculture. As centuries passed, certain modern techniques were invented in agriculture due to the progress in
science. These modern techniques included the use of tractors for ploughing the field, production of pesticides,
invention of tube-wells etc. Since water is the main necessity in this scenario, techniques were discovered which
would help in watering the field easily, consume less water and reduce human effort.

Hence in this work of project we decided to design a better mechanical machine which is available to the farmers at
a cheaper rate and also which can sow and seed the crop at the same time. This project consists of the better design
of the machine which can be used specifically for sowing of soybean, maize, pigeon pea, Bengal gram, groundnut
etc.

32
3.9 The size of the market and its growth potential

We are having a large potential in the Indian market because we know that About half of the total population of our
country has chosen agriculture as their chief occupation.Suppose we become succeed to decrease in the time frame
of farming and reduce the human effort. so automatically sales of framers corps will be increased so automatically
our sales will be higher.
