Automatic White Board Cleaner

Cleaning blackboards or whiteboards consumes a lot of time while teaching. We here propose an automated blackboard/whiteboard cleaning mechanism that cleans entire boards automatically with just a button click. Our system uses a set of frames, brackets, supporting rods, dusters, a motor, rollers, and driving circuitry in order to achieve this mechanism. The system is designed to save a lot of time and unnecessary effort needed in cleaning boards. It is designed to clean boards in a less than half the time required to clean the blackboard/whiteboard by a human. For this purpose we use dusters mounted on shafts, which are in turn connected to a supporting frame. These shafts are connected in such a way so as to provide a proper circular cleaning motion that is needed for cleaning the board. We now use a motor to drive these shafts in the required direction. Now we also need to ensure the entire board gets cleaned. So we use a set of rollers to mount the upper and lower parts of the frame in that section. We now use a second motor to drive the entire duster frame in a horizontal motion so that we get the entire board cleaned as the frame reaches the other end of the board. Thus, we put forward the design and fabrication of an automatic blackboard/whiteboard cleaner mechanism.

NOTE: The picture is only meant to show what it looks like. The final product's size may be a little different. The color of the input materials may also change depending on what is available, but the variation does not affect how the product works. The final product won't look as good as the picture since it's just for the student project.
