 ABSTRACT
Water is the basic need for the existence of life on earth. Impurities
present in water can cause serious health issues that can damage the
life of human beings. The main function of the "Automated Drain and
Gutter Cleaning System" is to collect, transport, as well as dispose the
solid waste in the waste bucket by the help of claws. Solid waste in
drainage water includes empty bottles, polythene bags, papers etc.
Impurities in drainage water can lead to blockage of the drainage
system. In order to avoid such situation these impurities are to be
cleaned on time for the continuous flow of drainage water. This project
is designed with the objective to initiate the efficient working of
system. This project automatically cleans the water in the drainage
system each time any wastes appears, and claws which are driven by
chain sprocket grasp the solid waste and threw it into the waste bucket
to avoid blockage.

 WORKING
• Principle and components used this model parts are Geneva mechanism,
motor, chain sprocket, roller, cutter and spring. Four rollers are mounted
according to the required distance the belt is mounted on the rollers on
which the paper is placed.
• Since we have used four rollers it will cut the paper till the end. The rollers
shaft is coupled with the Geneva drive. The Geneva drives shaft is coupled
with the motor shaft hence when power is supplied to the motor rollers
rotate with a certain time delay according to the Geneva drive and the
chain drive moves along the rollers.
• Motor connecting to the chain sprocket and sprocket connecting to the
Geneva mechanism. Motor has been on to rolling the Geneva so that start
to the paper roll. One roller has fixed on the try another roller connecting
in Geneva wheel.
• Cutter fixed to the spring connecting to cutter. Motor shaft connect to
cutter wire motor has been rotating cutter is upon down motion then
cutting to the paper this is the automatic paper cutting machine by using
geneva mechanism.
• When cam pin is in extreme right position i.e. engage position, the crank
shaft will be at extreme bottom position. Hence the cutter is in full open
position.
• When cam pin is in extreme bottom position i.e. disengage position, the
crank shaft will be at extreme left position. Hence the cutter is in partial
cutting position.
• When cam pin is in extreme left position i.e. disengage position, the crank
shaft will be at extreme top position. Hence the cutter is in full cutting
position.
• When cam pin is in extreme top position i.e.,disengage position, the crank
shaft will be at extreme right position. Hence the paper cutting is
achieved by above four process of Geneva and cutter.
GENEVA WHEEL CALCULATION
No.of sloats n=4
Driving pin diameter p=10mm
Allowed clearance t=0.07mm
1. Centre distance
C=a/sin (180/n)
=70/sin (180/4)
=98.9949mm
2. Geneva wheel radius
R (or) B= √c2-a^2
=√98.99492-702
=70mm
3. Slot center length
S= (a + b)-c
= (70+70)-98.9949
=41.0051mm
4. Slot width
W=p + t
=10+0.07
=10.07mm
5. Stop arc radius
Y=a-(p*1.5)
=70-(10*1.5)
=55mm
6. Stop disc radius

Z=y-t
=55-0.07
=54.93mm
7. Clearance of arc
v= b z/a
=70*54.93/70
=54.93mm
8. Angle of slot
Total angle of an circle is 360, we have taken 4 slots in geneva wheel. Therefore the
angle between 2 slots is 45 degree
• 1. ADVANTAGES
• Fully automatic cutting
• It will reduce the time for marking the paper.
• The dimension of the paper will be accurate.
• Manufacturing cost is less.
• No noise pollution.
• Can be used for small scale industries.
• Available in a wide variety of geneva wheel sizes.
• 2. DISADVANTAGES
• Not able to cut the papers above 15 cm width.
• Not able to cut bunch of papers i.e. more than 5 papers.
• Not be used for large scale industries.
• 3. FUTURE SCOPE
• Implementation for large industries is possible.
• By changing cutter shape we can cut paper with different designs.
• By modifying Geneva slots we can cut different standard size paper.
• Machine can be modified to cut lather and other thick sheets.
CONCLUSION
The design and analysis of paper cutting machine using
Geneva mechanism will be very useful for small scale
industry. There are machine based on paper cutting but it
has demerits like large in size, costly, need skilled labours
to operate and it need electrical input. But we have our
machine which will overcome this demerit by compact
size, less cost no need for skilled people and there is no
need of electrical input. The main aim of this machine is
to reduce timing for paper cutting and neglect the time
for marking the paper. This aim can be achieved by our
machine.
