Abstract - Tipper truck is damp truck which is used to
transport sand, gravel, dirt, coals, etc. from one place to another place. Generally tipper truck is used in mines to transport heavy materials. But limitations of tipper truck to unload material only in one direction reduces its efficiency and effectiveness in today’s era. Also to unload material in specific area, tipper has to be parked accordingly which ultimately time consuming process. Tipping requires safety consideration. If truck is not parked at relatively horizontal ground, overturning of tipper and slipping of tipper occurs. To overcome these problems it is necessary to study the existing unidirectional unloading technique. To overcome these problems design of tipper is suggested which uses three hydraulic cylinders instead of one , each situated on lateral side of tipper truck to unload the material in left or right side along with the existing rear side material unloading. This paper is focused on the modeling and feasibility checking of three way unloading mechanism of tipper. Existing tipper truck specifications are taken into consideration for geometric modeling of tipper. Same models has been used in ANSYS software for feasibility checking of the proposed system. The results generated are helpful for understanding the analysis of the system so as to overcome the limitations of the system to meet our desired goals. Key Words: tipper, dump truck, hydraulic cylinder’s,etc..
1.INTRODUCTION The tipper truck is highly popular in transportation of heavy materials such as sand, gravel, coals, etc.Tipper truck is the advanced version of conventional trucks. Conventioanal trucks can also transport heavy materials from one place to another but huge difference is that , in conventional truck man power is required to unload the material in the truck. While unloading the material, employees just open the side walls of the trolley and with the help of spade. This process is from last few decades. But this method is time consuming. Extra cost of man power is to be paid for unloading the material. Also the existing tipper can not perform in effective in small and congested area such as small roads, construction sites, mines,etc. It also consumes more time and more fuel which ultimately reduces efficiency of the sysyem. To overcome these problems tipper truck was invented. This truck having hydraulic member in it which lifts the trolley © 2017, IRJET

upward to unload the material on rear side. The arrangment was, just backside of cabin head, the hydraulic cylinder is placed which provides the power to hydraulic member which is situated just below the top of the trolley and the chasis frame. With the help of hydraulic member , trolley get lifted upward at front ,which allows the material in truck to unload at the rear side. This kind of trucks are much popular uptill due to the unloading mehanism. But it has also its own drawbacks. Truck has to be parked well according to site where material is to be unloaded. This consumes more time and cost of fuel which leads to reduction in efficiency. Also there are chance of sudden slipover or turning of trucks if is not parked properly in uneven sites such as coal mines,etc. For safety consideration of life of human being and material safety these drawbacks are need to be resolve. So keeping these in mind, we are proposing three way unloading mechanism of tipper. In this mechanism, need to parked vehicle at right place will be resolve. We can easily parked vehicle and according to requirment, we will be able to unload the material , whether it is on right side or left side of the truck. We are suggeting instead of using one hydraulic cylinder use three, so as to give the trolley three way unloading mechanism. Which will increase effictiveness and efficiency of the system. Risk of life in overturning of vehicle will get reduced. Ultimately this new proposed design will change tipper truck working to provide better to performance. But to devlope this three way unloading mechanism, we first have to go for studying the existing unloading mecahnism tipper and its full specifiactions. This will helps us to create 3D geometric modelling and for ANSYS software based analysis so as to complete understanding of the system.
2. Overview This paper discussed about the modelling and analysis of multiside unloading mechanism of tipper truck. To understanding any system, modelling is the best way to show the importaint components of the system. This 3D modelling also helps to create analysis results of the system in software.
