DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF ADVANCED MOTORIZED

WATER PUMP USING SCOTCH YOKE MECHANISM

ABSTRACT
The aim of the paper is to design and develop a water pumping system
using scotch yoke mechanism. The reciprocating motion of the plunger is
utilized for the pumping action. The plunger is reciprocated with the help of a
cam plate. By this action the water is pumped with very high pressure and to
various heads. This can be utilized for various applications like lubrication in
machines and water pumping in agriculture field. The cam plate gets the drive
from the motor for its rotation and converts that rotary motion to useful dual
side reciprocating motion. The motor is powered with the aid of electric power.
Thus the water is pumped from source to various heads.

INTRODUCTION
Every one of us will need of some kind of water source for drinking,
bathing, washing clothes, preparing food and for irrigation. We may get the
water from various sources like, lake, river, ponds, open well, bore well. So we
have to pump the water from the source and use the water for the various
purposes. Pumps operate by some mechanism (typically reciprocating or
rotary), and consume energy to perform mechanical work by moving the fluid.
Pumps operate via many energy sources, including manual operation,
electricity, engines, or wind power which usually come in many sizes that vary
from microscopic for use in medical applications to large industrial pumps.
Generally, these mechanical pumps have numerous applications such as
pumping water from wells, filtering of dust in the aquarium, filtering the ponds
and aeration, also used in car industry for water-cooling and fuel injection, and
finally in the energy industry for pumping oil and natural gas or for operating
cooling towers. This Scotch yoke mechanism could be used for conversion
between rotational motion and linear reciprocating motion. In general, this
linear motion can take place in various forms depending on the shape of the
slot, but mostly the basic yoke with a constant rotation speed produces a linear
motion that is simple harmonic in nature.

WORKING PRINCIPLE:
The experimental setup consists of water pump whose pumping shaft is
connected to the yoke plate of the scotch yoke mechanism the rotating disk
consists of the yoke supporting pin is inserted into the yoke plate for controlling
the translation motion.
The rotation of the plate is carried out with the help of motor. When the
motor is turned on then it rotates the plate attached with it and this rotation is
converted into translation by means of yoke plate, this translation motion
activates the piston of the pump to take to and fro motion, the water is sucked
and transmitted to the required designation.
ADVANTAGES:

• It is easy to suck the water with the minimum effort.

• Less cost.
• Simple in design.
• It draws water faster than normal hand pumps.
• Less time consumption operation.
APPLICATIONS:
• It is used in rural areas.
• As the installation cost of hand water pump with hand lever is low it is useful
for poor people.
• It can be installed in all the public places.
