DEVELOPMENT PHASES (DP) -PHASE 1

PHASE 1: RECOGNIZATION OF NEEDS

• ISSUE/PROBLEM STATEMENT
  • Why did we came up with a double car jack?
    • TO overcome major problem of lifting vehicle in automobile industry
      • Labor problem
      • Huge effort
      • Uneven ground condition
      • Save time
      • Make it convenient for use

• SCOPE OF WORKS
  • This project was done based on the mechanism of hydraulic power system method, fabrication processes of marking out, cutting, assembling and finishing were employed where necessary. All the analysis and results such as the required torque and gearing ratio which are important in this project where all determined before the development and incorporations. This project entirely designs hydraulic jack by incorporating a motor and double hydraulic jack all together in order to make load lifting easier and safer. In this design, the plunger is actuated through a connecting gear with the pinion gear when electrical power flows through the lighter receptacle connected to the motor, plugged to the automobile battery source to generate power for the prime mover (motor), which transmits its rotating speed to the pinion gear meshing with the bigger gearconnected to the plunger lever to be oscillated with required speed reduction and increased torque to drive the hydraulic piston totally displacing manual handling of hydraulic jacks. It works on the mechanism of converting rotary motion of the motor into reciprocating motion of the hydraulic jack plunger. 

• OBJECTIVES
  • To design and implement a safe car jack system which is stable in all conditions and is usable all the time.
  • To reduce time for the handlers and energy consumption for the users especially for the elderly and woman as it is designed to be operated automatically through motor.
  • To come up with a specific machine for lifting cars which is portable and economical which would make it easy for all the people to own one and use them when it is needed.
