1 Design and Analysis of Mini Dumper Ajay P V 1 Vishnu K M 4 Sreeraj J Menon 7 Daise T Mechery 2 Afsal Fajarudheen 5 Akhil Viswanath K C 8 Assistant Professor Gokul Krishnan T N 3 Delvin T D 6 Abstract A mini dumper is a machine, which is capable of loading and unloading of materials. We are trying to put forward a simple mini dumper design which is small in size, so it can be used in narrow passages. Simple mechanisms are employed for the mini dumper to ensure easy operation and maintenance. The chassis and storage bucket are analyzed with the help of ANSYS Workbench and conclusions have been made. Keywords mini dumper, static structural analysis, chassis, storage bucket I. INTRODUCTION A dumper is a vehicle designed for carrying bulk material, often on building sites. Dumpers are distinguished from dump trucks by configuration: a dumper is usually an open 4-wheeled vehicle with the load skip in front of the driver, while a dump truck has its cab in front of the load. A mini dumper with self-loading version allows a single operator to carry out the work of two or more persons in total autonomy. It carries load from one place to another. The self-loading shovel (loader) can transfer all sorts of material such as rubble, earth, aggregates etc. into the storage bucket quickly and safely with minimum operator effort. The mini dumper with hydrostatic transmission assures high performance and reliability and which could be equipped with a large number of accessories. Chassis and storage bucket are designed to carry heavy load without any major deflection. According to Abhishek Sharma [1], the box (hollow) section chassis help to reduce the weight of the chassis. He also states that box sections have less deformation and high strength than the C and I sections. II. DESIGN OF DRIVE SYSTEM For our mini dumper we uses a Honda GX stroke petrol engine, because this engine can provide required torque for the hydrostatic transmission system. The specifications of engine were obtained and a model of the engine was made in solidworks The engine produces a power of 6.3 kw (8.4 hp) and a torque of 19.1 Nm at a speed of 2500 rpm. A. Design Of Belt Drive In order to transmit power from engine to hydraulic pump V-Belt drive system is used. The calculations were done following the books Machine Design and Design Data. Specifications are given in Table 1. The 3D model was created in Solidworks 2016 and rendered in Keyshot 6.

Design Of wheel mount Bearing For the smooth rotation of wheels with respect to the wheel mount on the chassis and to carry load of materials as well as self weight, we require a bearing at each wheel mount. The calculations were done following the books Machine Design and design Data. The specifications are given in the table 2. The 3D model was created in solidworks 2011 and rendered in Keyshot 6.

DESIGN OF CHASSIS SKF7207B 35 mm 72 mm 15 mm 14.8 mm 2120 kgf 8000 rpm Shown below is the image of the mini dumper chassis that we designed. It acts as the back bone of our min dumper. It carries the load of materials as well as the self load of components. For our mini dumper, we used a hollow box cross section which has higher strength and less deformation than chassis with C and I cross sections. In order to find what happens to the chassis during fully loaded condition and also in unloading condition, we put the condition into static structural analysis in ANSYS Workbench 15.

3 Analysis was carried out on the chassis considering a load of 5000N and 2000N as the loads. The results of the analysis are shown in table 3. Table 3 Chassis - Analysis Results At normal condition At unloading condition The default mapped meshing with element size set to coarse were used here. The total number of nodes and elements generated here is and respectively. In normal condition, the loads of 5000N and 2000N are acted on the centre supporters and rear centre of the chassis respectively.

This value is less than the yield strength of structural steel which is 250 MPa. Fig 10 shows safety factor of at normal loaded condition. In unloading case, a load of 5000N acting on the front supporters and also at the hydraulic cylinder fixing point along with the load of 2000N produced by the engine and auxiliaries at the rear side of the chassis.

Fig 14 Chassis 3D Rendered Image DESIGN OF STORAGE BUCKET The following are the two storage bucket designs that we came up with. All the dimensions of both the frame designs are same, the only difference is the addition of ribs in the design 2. Fig 12 Equivalent Stress At Unloading Fig 11 shows the total deformation of the chassis at unloading, it ranges from a minimum value of mm to mm. Fig 12 shows the equivalent Von Mises stress which ranges from MPa to MPa. This value is less than the yield strength of structural steel which is 250 MPa. Fig 13 shows the safety factor of Fig 15 Design

5 Fig 16 Design 2 In order to find what difference the ribs made, we put both these into static structural analysis in ANSYS workbench Analysis were carried out on both designs considering a load of 5000N acting vertical and a load of 2500N acting to the horizontal sides. The results of the analysis are shown in table 4.

There is a maximum deformation value of Fig 20 shows the equivalent stress of the dumper with design 1. This value ranges from *10-8 MPa to71.84 MPa. Fig 21 shows the safety factor for the dumper with design 1, which is about Fig 22 shows the total deformation of the dumper with design 2. There is a maximum deformation value of Fig 23 shows the equivalent stress of the dumper with design 2. This value ranges from *10-7 MPa to70.332mpa. Fig 24 shows the safety factor for the dumper with design 2, which is about The maximum and minimum values are shown by red and blue probes in each image. The result shows the addition of ribs gives more safer and better result than the design without ribs. So the design 2 is selected.

7 V. FINAL ASSEMBLY Some rendered images of final assembly are shown below, VI. CONCLUSION We successfully designed and analyzed the mini dumper by our self. The key factor of our design is simplicity. The storage bucket design ensures better strength and reliability which was proved using analysis results. Addition of ribs helps to improve the strength of storage bucket The chassis was found to be safe at fully loaded and unloading conditions. In all the cases the safety factor lies above 1. It shows the design is safe under limits.
