Abstract

Cleanliness is very important to human and every country. One of the goals of Melaka is to become a „zero waste‟ state but there is still a lot of rubbish in public area such as park, sidewalk, and parking lot. Waste in public area can influence the health of people nearby and also the image of a country. This project was carried out to propose and design a human-powered tricycle with cleaning mechanism to clean the city. Searching online, studying internet article, and reviewing past research were employed to collect the information. This project is conducted by following the engineering design steps, which are conceptual design, design selection, parametric design, detail design, cost analysis and design analysis. In conceptual design stage, four conceptual designs were generated by using morphological chart. In design selection stage, the best design among four conceptual designs was selected by using Pugh selection method. In parametric design stage, the pulley and gear ratio were determined in order to get the desired output. In detail design stage, the materials used for each part of the design were determined which are aluminium, plastic, steel and synthetic material. The dimensions of each part of design were also determined and converted into 3-Dimension by using CATIA V5R21 software. The total cost to fabricate a tricycle with cleaning mechanism is RM 627.20 which included raw material, manufacturing and purchase cost. In design analysis stage, CATIA V5R21 FEA was employed to analyze the critical part of final design and result shows that the final design is safe to use. The design analysis result shows that the tricycle with cleaning mechanism has good sweeping effectiveness only when it is moving at the speed between 2km/h and 5km/h.
