Technical Proposal Report

(Vacuum Cleaner)

Project Description:

This vacuum cleaner is designed as an energy-efficient vacuum cleaner that provides high suction power
along with a smart automation system which differentiates this vacuum cleaner from any other to enhance
home and office cleaning. The silent vacuum cleaner features a special AI-powered dirt detection system
that ensures that with every swipe all of the dirt is efficiently removed Furthermore, High-Efficiency
particulate Air (HEPA) filtration system this type of filter is a mechanical air filter that guarantees the
removal of 99.97% of airborne particles, dust, pollen, Mold, bacteria, and this filter catches particles as
small as 0.3 micrometers. Originally developed in the 1940s to prevent the spread of radioactive particles.
This filter uses randomly arranged fine Fibers which are often made from fiberglass. There are mainly
four main key mechanisms that this filter uses Inertial impaction, Interception, diffusion using the
Brownian motion and lastly Sieving. Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of HEPA
filters in reducing indoor air pollutants. Research published in Science Daily showed that during a 12-
week study, a total of 28% improved indoor air pollutants with the HEPA filter. The placement of the
HEPA filter has also played a huge role in this vacuum cleaner.

In addition to the Hepa filter, this vacuum cleaner uses a self-adjusting motor that automatically adapts to
different types of surfaces. To provide high debris removal a Cyclonic suction system is utilized along
with multiple smart sensors for obstacle avoidance. At the heart of the vacuum cleaner lies the electric
motor which contains a fan that creates a huge differential pressure generating the suction power needed
to draw in the air particles. This electric motor usually ranges between 1,600 to 1,800 watts.

A Dust-collecting unit that stores the collected debris; this vacuum cleaner offers a huge lightweight
reusable bag to ensure that this will not bother the user with changing it with every use This vacuum
cleaner also offers a Lightweight design which makes it user-friendly.
Scope of Work:

 The first phase consists of creating initial sketches along with developing new concepts.
 3D Modeling: Creating individual parts.
 Assembly: Integrating all components into a fully functional model.
 The project includes drafting technical drawings combined with a bill of materials (BOM)
production along with an assembly manual.
 The procedure involves both high-quality rendering and animation production to display
project illustrations.

Why this project?

People require vacuum cleaners as basic household appliances to maintain hygienic and healthy
household environments. The ability of proper vacuum cleaning to eliminate dust together with dirt,
allergens and debris from floors, carpets and furniture enhances air quality inside while protecting people
against respiratory and allergy problems. Vacuum cleaners deliver results faster than standard cleaning
practices therefore they are essential tools for homes and business establishments. Different surface
attachments on these machines provide versatility in cleaning which enhances comfort and hygiene levels.

How does it function?

The vacuum cleaner produces various pressure zones during operation starting from its motor source. The
powered-up motor starts a fan that develops a low-pressure zone to collect air with dust particles and
debris through its nozzle or hose opening. The vacuum system permits both air and particles to flow into
dust bags or cyclonic chambers. The larger dust particles settle down into rest positions as the airflow
continues to move forward in bag models. Centrifugal force generated by cyclonic models makes the
rotating air force big particles toward the collection container but maintains fine dust floating in mid-air.
The air seepage route has purification filters that eliminate pollutants before releasing the air. Standard
components of vacuum cleaners use HEPA filters because their design allows them to effectively trap
particles from allergens up to dust mites and pet dander. Vacuum systems that use chemical and activated
carbon filters alongside one other eliminate odors and eliminate volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The
vacuum concludes air purification through its exhaust port after completing the cleansing operation
following filtration processing. Surface cleaning outcomes from the system turn into superior air quality
for indoor environments.
