CHAPTER 1 :

INTRODUCTION

1.1

Introduction

As everyone knows, weather in Malaysia nowadays is so unpredictable. For example, when raining season comes, theres a lot of problem will affects several people including those from students and others that using a motorcycle and have to ride along way back home in rain. This situation will cause their important clothes that need to wear everyday get wet in this condition. Mini clothes that they need to wear everyday such as tie, stocking, or scarf/tudung, that are usually didnt need to wash it everyday will get wet. As we all know, several people like students, didnt have much money to buy that kind of clothes and usually will wear it over and over again without change it and wash it. So, when there are no more clothes to wear and all clothes got left was get wet, it will cause problem to them. Thats why this idea is to build or made a one dryer machine that is compaq and portable and also will be a machine that anyone can buy especially the students and bachelors that didnt have much money to buy a washing machine. This simple dryer machine helps the consumer dry their clothes in just a few minutes. The original concept of this machine, basically takes from blender, washing machine and thumbler dryer that are using on industries.

Combination of mechanism of thumbler dryer and washing machine.

Objective

Next, there are some objective will be list out and will be achieve after all the project about this MINI DRYER finish : The machine that can dry the simple clothes such as tie, stocking, and others in just an easy way from the motor that moving fast and spin the spinner will make the all clothes become dry faster than usually and that can bring along together wherever we go, even in a jungle and using a right accessories as a power supply to make it work such as generator and etc. Helping IPTA or IPTS students and also the individual who are just get a job and still in unstable condition in a term of money and didnt have enough money to buy a washing machine. This MINI DRYER, cheaper if compare it with others washing machine cause its just a simple machine and not the complex one.

1.3

Background Problems

As an explanation about previous subtopic that had been discussed, based on introduction that had been mention before, the background problems that cause to build this projects is because the condition of weather and as a person itself. We realize that weather in Malaysia usually is so unstable this lately. Normally nowadays as we can see, rainy seasons come suddenly without we can predict it. Thats why this machine has been created to help certain people and of course, our target is a person who looking for low budget dryer machine and can bring it along wherever they want to go with easy operational. Besides, with this machine, we hope that we can change our Malaysian perspective about a better way how to dry the wet clothes in minimum time. As we know, lot of peoples nowadays that are using old style to dry their wet clothes using an iron. With this machine, we can dry our wet clothes with a single button and just sit relaxed and waiting the machine finish the job. Obviously, we can see from this way of how to drying wet clothes, its better than the old one. It looks more modern and efficient. Next, the design of this machine are so simple and can bring along with wherever and also very helpful when in desperate situation or condition like at the jungle and so on.

Projects Scope

Next will be list out the projects scope. This projects scope is about the target of the consumer for this project. Students from IPTA/IPTS that didnt stay at the hostel and live at rented house that didnt have this kind of service. For bachelors or graduation that just having a new job and still in unstable finance condition. Certain people that dont have enough money to afford a full automatic washing machine and just looking for low budget dryer machine that are so portable. Individual that always go for outstation and need to attend important seminar that always have to change their accommodation.

1.5 1.5.1 1.5.2

Advantages And Disadvantages Advantages Drying wet clothes in just a few minutes. Portable. Can bring along together wherever. Simple design and can save more space. Very handly. Only using a few step to operate it. Easy maintenance because theres no complex structure and electrical circuit. Disadvantages Probably the clothes that want to dry using this machine didnt achieve 100% dry. Maybe this machine just can dry the clothes around 60-70%. Required intensive care in its inside part.

PART AND COMPONENT

5.1

MOTOR AC SPINNER

An electrical motor in the 1/3 to 3/4 Horse Power range typically powers your washing machine. These motors require a 220 Volt electrical connection. The washing machine motor is connected to a set of control switches and safety switches. The control switches allow you to set the speed and duration of the wash and spin cycles. The safety switches engage to shut the machine off if the lid is opened or the water level is too high. Some machines will also have an excess vibration cut-off switch.

CAPACITOR

A capacitor or condenser is a passive electronic component consisting of a pair of conductors separated by a dielectric. When a voltage potential difference exists between the conductors, an electric field is present in the dielectric. This field stores energy and produces a mechanical force between the plates. The effect is greatest between wide, flat, parallel, narrowly separated conductors. An ideal capacitor is characterized by a single constant value, capacitance, which is measured in farads. This is the ratio of the electric charge on each conductor to the potential difference between them. In practice, the dielectric between the plates passes a small amount of

MECHATRONIC ENGINEERING

Page 21

PROJECTS PROPOSAL 200 9

leakage current. The conductors and leads introduce an equivalent series resistance and the dielectric has an electric field strength limit resulting in a breakdown voltage. Capacitors are widely used in electronic circuits to block the flow of direct current while allowing alternating current to pass, to filter out interference, to smooth the output of power supplies, and for many other purposes. They are used in resonant circuits in radio frequency equipment to select particular frequencies from a signal with many frequencies.

BODY (ALUMINIUM)

Aluminium alloys are alloys in which aluminium is the predominant metal. Typical alloying elements are copper, zinc, manganese, silicon, and magnesium. There are two principal classifications, namely casting alloys and wrought alloys, both of which are further subdivided into the categories heat-treatable and non-heat-treatable. About 85% of aluminium is used for wrought products, for example rolled plate, foils and extrusions. Cast aluminium alloys yield cost effective products due to the low melting point, although they generally have lower tensile strengths than wrought alloys. The most important cast aluminium alloy system is Al-Si, where
MECHATRONIC ENGINEERING Page 22

PROJECTS PROPOSAL 200 9

the high levels of silicon (4-13%) contribute to give good casting characteristics. Aluminium alloys are widely used in engineering structures and components where light weight or corrosion resistance is required. Aluminium alloy surfaces will keep their apparent shine in a dry environment due to the formation of a clear, protective oxide layer. In a wet environment, Galvanic corrosion can occur when an aluminium alloy is placed in electrical contact with other metals with a more negative corrosion potential than aluminium. Aluminium alloy compositions are registered with The Aluminum Association. Many organizations publish more specific standards for the manufacture of aluminium alloy, including the Society of Automotive Engineers standards organization, specifically its aerospace standards subgroups, and ASTM International.
