Automatic Whiteboard Cleaner (Wired)

Abstract: This is a prototype model of an “Automatic Whiteboard Cleaner.”
In this project, we demonstrate a mechanism that can clean a whiteboard automatically using a rack and pinion mechanism.

Cleaning blackboards or whiteboards consumes a significant amount of time during teaching sessions. To address this, we propose an automated board-cleaning mechanism that cleans the entire board automatically with just a button click.

Our system consists of a set of frames, brackets, supporting rods, dusters, motors, and rollers to achieve this functionality. The design aims to save both time and effort required for manual cleaning. It can clean the board in less than half the time compared to a human.

The cleaning mechanism includes dusters mounted on shafts connected to a supporting frame. A motor drives these shafts in the required direction to perform the cleaning motion. To ensure the entire board surface is covered, we use a rack and pinion mechanism to move the upper and lower parts of the frame horizontally. This allows the duster frame to travel from one end of the board to the other, effectively cleaning the entire surface.

Applications

1. Educational Institutions: Can be used in schools, colleges, and coaching centers to automatically clean whiteboards, saving teachers’ time during lectures.

2. Offices and Conference Rooms: Useful in meeting rooms where presentations or brainstorming sessions require frequent board cleaning.

3. Training Centers: Helps in maintaining a clean board for continuous demonstrations without interruption.

4. Smart Classrooms and Labs: Can be integrated into smart teaching systems for automation and convenience.

5. Public Display or Notice Boards: Can be used in digital and semi-digital boards where frequent cleaning is needed to maintain visibility.

6. Automation Demonstration Projects: Serves as a working model for demonstrating the use of rack and pinion mechanisms and automation principles in engineering or robotics exhibitions.
