Design and Fabrication of Semi-Automated Tender Coconut Drilling Device

Abstract

Automation plays a very vital role in present technology aspects and as there is a heavy demand for young coconut in today’s market as it contains nutrients, it helps in dissolving kidney stones, reduces blood pressure, energy drink, etc., and it’s a natural gift. But making a punching and slicing a young coconut have some difficulties it cause injuries, as the demand for young coconuts are high due to various medicinal values there are a lot of coconut sellers and there are various conventional ways to cut, chop, slice out the exocarp of the coconut which are hazardous to health and sometimes threat full, by this automated device these all factors have majorly reduced. In existing techniques and methods it requires a lot of manpower and time and other factors, aged people, handicapped people feel difficulties to do this. But as compared to them this device requires very less manpower and in very less time numerous tender coconuts can be drilled. Automation plays a vital role in present engineering services where sensors are widely used for various purposes in automation which is not only applicable for industries but also majorly used where ever human effort is reduced and save time. In this paper the design and fabrication of tender coconut drilling machine with which uses sensors to detects the presence of tender coconut and sends signals to the DC motors and starts drilling hole into the coconut as the demand for young coconuts are high due to various medicinal values there are a lot of coconut sellers and there are various conventional ways to cut, chop, slice out the exocarp of the coconut which are hazardous to health and sometimes threat full, by this automated device these all factors have majorly reduced. In existing techniques and methods it requires a lot of manpower and time and other factors, aged people, handicapped people feel difficulties to do this. But as compared to them this device requires very less manpower and in very less time numerous tender coconuts can be drilled.
