Automatic Clutch and Brake System for Four Wheelers

Abstract:

             Pneumatics operation technology now-a – days widely used in all kind work related with compressed air. The knowledge from timber work to robot technology it is used with so advanced and also with automation. It is therefore very essential and important for any technicians or engineers to get a better knowledge of pneumatic system, air operated valves and others. The compressed air from the compressor pass through medium and to the cylinder by a pipe line fabrication. To achieve maximum work done of pneumatic system, it is of importance that pressure drop between generation and consumption of compressed air is kept minimum. This project is to develop a control system along with an effective electronic controlled automotive braking and clutch method is called “Automatic pneumatic clutch and braking system”. Pneumatic Brake and clutches operated though sensors which with IR transmitter and Receiver unit, Control Unit, and Pneumatic breaking system. The IR sensor is to find the resisting area and obstacle. If there is any resisting in the passage , the IR sensor senses the proximity and obstacle and giving the control signal to the breaking and clutch system. The pneumatic breaking and clutch system is used to break the vehicle and clutch to shift the gear system.

Proposed System:

            The infra red rays reflected, if any prevention is there in the path. “IR receiver” receives the signal of infra-red rays reflection from the IR transmitter unit which transmits the Infra-Red rays. [10-16] The control circuit will get control signal from IR rays which reflects from IR receiver circuit. Solenoid valve will get activation from control circuit. When the solenoid valve is functioned to activate, the compressed air flows to the Double Acting Pneumatic Cylinder. Then the air pressed the pneumatic cylinder to move the piston rod.[17-25] The breaking arrangement will function when the piston moves forward and break the wheel slowly or rapidly by moving of piston . “Flow control valve” will vary the breaking speed by adjusting the valve.[26-27] In this project, the breaking arrangement is in a wheel as a model. The compressed air from the compressor flow through the hose tube to the flow control valve. The flow control valve is connected to the solenoid valve which control the entire system.[28-30]
