The document discusses the design of a manually operated wheel spray pump for agricultural use. It aims to design and manufacture a pump that can spray pesticides effectively and uniformly across a field while reducing operator fatigue. Key objectives are to select appropriate materials, analyze forces on the pump, design its parts, and estimate costs. The pump would allow adjustable nozzle spacing and include a small wheel to reduce hand load. Its significance is that it can cover more land, increase efficiency, adjust spray height, and does not require non-renewable energy like electric pumps.

INTRODUCTION
1.1.Background of the project
manually operated wheel driven spray pump:it is
a portable device and does not need any fuel to operate,
which is easy to move and spray the pesticide by
moving the wheel. This wheel operated pesticide
spray equipment consumes less time and achieves
uniform nozzle pressure; we used crank mechanism
with piston pump, which is driven by the wheel.
1.2.Problem statement Agricultural sprayer vehicle should be able to work
with help of appropriate controls in order to spray
effectively along the path as required to perform the
required functions. Based on these factor, the basic
mechanical designs of agricultural sprayers vehicle will
be designed and implemented for 20 liters of payloads by combining all the factor such as stated above with goal of achieving a better functionality.
1.3.Objective of the project
1.3.1 General objective Design and manufacture manually operated wheel spray pump for different agricultural purpose
1.3.2.Specific objective 1 material selection
1 Geometric analaysis
1 force analaysis of wheel spray pump
1 part design
1 cost estimation
1.4.Scope of the project
The distance between the nozzles can be made adjustable. A small wheel provided in line with the existing wheel, this reduces the load on operator’s hands. By imparting this wheel the tank capacity can be increased.
1.5.Significance of the project
The uses/advantages or significances of solving the problem by designing a manually operated wheel spray pump are the following:
1. It can cover more area of land during spray.
2. It reduces the fatigue of operator during the operation.
3. It increases the efficiency of operator.
4. It can adjust the height of spray by using adjustable.
5. It does not require any kind of non-renewable energy is mechanical, electrical and pressure energy.
6. It has is less air pollution.
7. Its cost is less than electrically and solar operated pump.
