Abstract

Coconut is one of the industrial crop in Malaysia and it has a great influence on the social economic of the Malaysia. This industry requires new invention in the harvesting method which not only to fulfill its mass distribution around the world but also able to consider the safety to the user and reliability. It is usually seen that the cultivators used the traditional method such as climbing method or pole method in the harvesting of coconut. The purpose of this project was to design a coconut plucking rod and proposed a mechanism system which to be cooperated with the existing rotary blade. The designing of the coconut plucking rod was carried out through the design methodology which provide a systematic approach and guidelines in produces a product. The concepts of design the coconut plucking rod is generated according to the customer requirements which translated into the engineering characteristics and generated the product design specifications. As a result of this study, a coconut plucking rod with a gear mechanism is selected as the final concept for the product. The mathematical and CAD analysis was carried out and showed that the mechanism system able to generate the required force and the structure of the rod able to support the applied force. By designing the coconut plucking rod, the users can pick the coconut with ease and low energy.
