In this thesis, design and development and manufacturing processes of an industrial type vacuum sweeper is presented. Thesis is financially supported by Ministry of Industry and Trade-Turkey and Mü / san A.S. (Makina Ü / retim Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.) under SAN-TEZ project number 00028.STZ.2007-1. It is aimed to make innovative design changes and developments on the Mü / san VSM 060 type vacuum sweeper. To achieve this aim, alternative configuration designs are prepared by using commercial 3D modeling program, Catia&trade / V5. Basic vehicle structure is constructed.
New Mü / san VSM 060 will be a fully electrically driven vehicle. All subsystems will be activated by using electrical motors whose power is supplied by batteries.
All subsystems are mounted on the chassis which is a welded frame structure made up of 60x40x2 St37-2 grade steel tubes. Finite element analysis (FEA) of the chassis is performed by using commercial structural finite element analysis tools MSC Patran pre and post processor and MSC Nastran solver. Moment calculations are done for structural parts.
Cleaning system of the new VSM 060 vehicle is decided to be a combination of mechanical and vacuum cleaning systems. An elevator system will be integrated in addition to vacuum system to pick up coarse particles. The vacuum system will mainly be utilized for very small size particle collection. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses are done by Punto Mü / hendislik Ltd. Sti. for the whole cleaning system components by using CFdesign, an upfront CFD analysis tool.
