Design and fabrication of fan cleaning machine / Balqis Safiyyah Othaman

Fan Cleaning Machine is a machine that can ease the process of cleaning top and bottom of ceiling fan blades with implementation of mechanical movement. Additionally, catch dust from spreading on the floor. Common method that peoples use nowadays is time consuming and exhausting. It also has tendencies to lead to injuries. Moreover, people that have allergies to dust can also lead to serious health concern. To overcome the problem and achieve the objectives, first research must be done before proceeding with designing, engineering analysis and engineer calculation to check the safety and stability of the project. These steps must be prepared before fabricating the prototype. By completing all of these processes, prototype is able to complete. Finding the correct material and design is aided by research. When creating the prototype, the design in SOLIDWORKS will serve as a guide. Simulation helps in examining the material's stability and endurance. Engineering calculations can be used to determine the suitability of a DC motor and the battery's lifetime. As a result, the prototype can clean both the top and bottom parts of the ceiling fan at the same time, catching dust in the process. It can also extend up to 5 feet. In conclusion, the project is able to achieve the objectives. However, recommendation for future work is decreasing the weight by using only 1 motor and add other mechanism like belt.
