Abstract
This report is the result of an Internship, conducted while we were in the Ethiopian Construction
Works Corporation. This gave us an opportunity to put into practice the theoretical knowledge
we gained during our study. The internship also provided a real opportunity to gain valuable
experience to bridge the gap between study and the start of working life. Furthermore, the actual
exposure offered an experiential learning component that could reinforce prior theoretical
knowledge, as well as the motivation we are perusing with Mechanical Engineering.
Additionally, our experiential learning has proven helpful in developing skills in details about
Engine, Transmission, Gear box, steering and brakes. We also consider that car automotive
work depending on the company is work like car maintenance, car maintenance, Vehicle
inspection, Technical Services and troubleshooting various car troubleshooting. We have
decided that car is a running engine, car air conditioning system, car electrical system, car brake
system, injection system etc. In this case we understand important safety when working on cars
and machines, how to get power in motor air and from fuel (how power is produced), cooling
systems to protect our engines from overheating and burned out, lubrication systems to reduce
friction, how to start a car using a starter, how to fuel at the combustion chamber where we slide
(distribute), how power trains transfer power to each other, brake systems and their assemblies,
clutch systems and their assemblies. We also decided on the measurements and troubleshooting
that was found in that company with employees with long experience and good skills on cars.
For example, reducing the wastage of time and labor by converting labor-intensive tasks to
machines. In this context we understand how to solve problems and communication skills,
learning through socializing and getting along with employees.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
An internship is job training for professional careers. Generally, an internship consists of an
exchange of services for experience between the student and organization. Students can also
use an internship to determine if they have an interest in a particular career, to create a network
of contacts. Internships exist in a wide variety of industries and settings. An internship may be paid,
unpaid, or partially paid (in the form of a stipend).Stipends are typically a fixed amount of
money that is paid out on a regular basis. Usually, interns that are paid through stipends are paid
on monthly basis. Paid internships are common in professional fields including medicine,
architecture, science, engineering and technology. A typical internship lasts between one and four
months, but can be shorter or longer, depending on the organization involved. Most students apply for
internships during their summer and winter breaks. In some Universities, internships during the
college breaks are compulsory and a part of the curriculum. It is common that previous interns
become employees to the organization once they have acquired the necessary skills and experience.
Moreover, many engineering students also term their training period in certain industrial organization
as an internship.

1.3.7 Competitive Advantage of The ECWC


Thus, the two most important competitive advantages of the corporation are:
Its geographical presence:
As indicated in the tables below, the corporation has different projects located strategically throughout
the country. This makes the Ethiopian Construction Works Corporation the most accessible
construction contractor in the country. This geographical presence can be an advantage even to indulge
in different construction projects found in neighboring countries.
Its human and material resources:
It is a fact that human resources are among, if not the most decisive factors influencing the
competitiveness of any company. The Ethiopian Construction Works Corporation currently has more
than 15,000 workers among them 800 workers are under Nekemte District. This is in fact a huge asset
if the corporation uses this resource in an efficient and productive manner.

CHAPTER TWO
2.1. WORK DONE
The company is mainly opened for the purpose of keeping vehicles and machines long life and also
giving maintenance and repair on site to let the work not to stop. It has its own structure for
performing tasks. It has different sub division to accomplish different tasks. There are many shops in
this company. Those are:-
Mechanic or Engine shop
Machine shop
Body shop
Welding shop
Electrical service shop
Tire shop
Before we described our task in the above shops first lets we describe some tools and equipment’s that
commonly used during maintenances. In ECWC shops there are various tools used. Most of them are
manuals (operated by hands). These tools are:-

Torque Wrenches,
Sockets and Ratchets,
Screw drivers& Spanners
Combination and box
Hammers, chisel, and Vise
2.1.1. Engine Shop
Engine is a mechanical device that converts chemical energy (fuel) into kinetic energy (motion). An
internal combustion engine is the engine in which combustion (burning of fuel) takes place in the
cylinder of engine by burning of the fuel high temperature and pressure force generates. This pressure
force used to move the vehicle or rotate wheels by use of some mechanism. In an engine many parts
work together and achieve to be a goal of converting chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy.
These parts are bolted together and the combination of all these parts is knows as engine.

Page 8
[INTERNSHIP REPORT]

Figure 2.1: Engine


2.1.1.1 Stationary Parts of Engine
The stationary parts of an engine include the cylinder block and cylinders, the cylinder head or heads,
and the exhaust and intake manifolds. These parts furnish the framework of the engine.
All movable parts are attached to or fitted into this framework.
2.1.1.2 Engine Cylinder Block
The cylinder block is the basic frame of a liquid-cooled engine whether it is in-line, horizontally
opposed, or V-type. The cylinder block is a solid casting made of cast iron or aluminum that contains
the crankcase, the cylinders, the coolant passages, the lubricating passages, and, in the case of flathead
engines, the valves seats, the ports, and the guides. The cylinder block is a one piece casting usually
made of an iron alloy that contains nickel and molybdenum. This is the best overall material for
cylinder blocks. It provides excellent wearing

Page 9
[INTERNSHIP REPORT]

qualities and low material and production cost, and it changes dimensions only minimally when
heated. Another material used for cylinder blocks, although not extensively, is aluminum. Aluminum
is used whenever weight is a consideration. However, it is NOT practical to use for the following
reasons:
Aluminum is more expensive than cast iron.
Aluminum is not as strong as cast iron.
Because of its softness, it cannot be used on any surface of the block that is subject to wear. This
necessitates the pressing, or casting, of steel sleeves into the cylinder bores. Threaded holes must also
be deeper. This introduces extra design considerations and increases production costs.
Aluminum has a much higher expansion rate than iron when heated. This creates problems with
maintaining tolerances
2.1.1.3 Crankcase
The crankcase is that part of the cylinder block below the cylinders. It supports and encloses the
crankshaft and provides a reservoir for lubricating oil. The crankcase is the basic foundation of all air-
cooled engines. It is made as a one- or two-piece casting that supports the crankshaft, provides the
mounting surface for the cylinders and the oil pump, and has the lubrication passages cast into it. It is
made of aluminum since it needs the ability to dissipate large amounts of heat. On air-cooled engines,
the oil pan usually is made of cast aluminum and is covered with cooling fins. The oil pan on an air-
cooled engine plays a key role in the removal of waste heat from the engine through its lubricating oil.

Figure 2.2 crankcase

Page 10
[INTERNSHIP REPORT]

2.1.1.4.CylinderHead
It covers and encloses the top of the cylinders. Combustion chambers, small pockets formed in the
cylinder heads where combustion occurs, are located directly over the cylinders. Spark plugs (gasoline
engine) or injectors (diesel engine) protrude through holes into the combustion chambers. Intake and
exhaust ports are cast into the cylinder head. The intake ports route air (diesel engine) or air and fuel
(gasoline engine) into the combustion chambers. The exhaust port routes burned gases out of the
combustion chamber.
2.1.1.5.Connecting Rods
Connecting rods connect the pistons to the crankshaft to convert reciprocating motion into rotary
motion. The connecting rods are in the form of an I-beam. This design gives the highest overall
strength and lowest weight. They are made of forged steel but may also be made of aluminum in
smaller engines.

Figure2.3 connecting rod


2.1.1.6.Crank shaft
The crankshaft is located in the bottom of the engine and is the part of the engine that transforms the
reciprocating motion of the piston to rotary motion. It transmits power through the flywheel, the
clutch, the transmission, and the differential to drive your vehicle. Crankshafts are usually made of
cast iron or forged steel. Forged steel crankshafts are needed for heavy-duty applications, such as
turbocharged or diesel engines. A steel crankshaft is stiffer and stronger than a cast iron crankshaft.

Page 11
[INTERNSHIP REPORT]

Figure 2.4 crankshaft


2.1.1.7 Camshaft
The camshaft provides for the opening and closing of the engine valves. The cam shaft is enclosed in
the engine block. It has eccentric lobes (cams) ground on it for each valve in the engine. As the
camshaft rotates, the cam lobe moves up under the valve tappet, exerting an upward thrust through the
tappet against the valve stem or the pushrod.

Figure 2.5 camshaft


2.1.1.8 Engine Bearings
Bearings are installed in an engine where there is relative motion between parts. Camshaft bearings are
called sleeve bearings because they are in the shape of a sleeve that fits around the rotating journal or
shaft, as shown in Figure below View A. Connecting rod or crankshaft (main) bearings are of the split
or half type, as shown in Figure below B. On main bearings, as shown in Figure, View C, the upper
half is installed in the counter bore in the cylinder block. The lower bearing half is held in place by the
bearing cap. On connecting rod bearings, the upper-bearing half is installed in the rod and the lower
half is placed in the rod cap. The piston pin bearing in the connecting rod is of the full round or
bushing type.

Electrical system
Once the problem is identified by the technicians possible solutions is done.
Measurement taken:
1. Disassembling Engine:
Engine disassembly is carried out in a sequence as follows.
Remove the water pump; exhaust manifold, oil filter, thermostat, crankshaft pulley, oil pump and
timing gears.
Remove cylinder head.
Remove oil pan.
Remove piston and connecting rod assembly (give the numbers on pistons and connecting rods for
easy reassembling.
Remove flywheel and crankshaft.

Page 13
[INTERNSHIP REPORT]

2. Cleaning and Inspection:


After disassembling all the parts, clean and inspect them carefully, replace the defective parts.
All parts should be cleaned with kerosene and dry them with the compressed air.
The cylinder walls may be inspected for scoring. The cylinder may require re boring or re honing if
scores are present.
To inspect piston for scores, remove the ring without breaking them. In case of deep scores, replace
the piston. While light scores may be polished off. Measure the clearance between the sides of the
piston in the cylinder. In case they are scored.
Replace them.
Inspect the piston ring for damage or wear. If these are defective, replace them.
Inspect the connecting rod small end and big end bearings. If these all scored or pitted. Service with
the rebutting.
Check the valve face and seat. If any part is defective service the valve face with the valve re facing
and cut the valve seat for correct setting of valves.
In this work shop mostly repaired Engines are starting from the smallest to the biggest one. This
engines it`s have different types like V8, D4D, 5L, 3F and etc.

Figure 2.7 disassembled engine


2.1.1.9 Transmission Systems
It is the mechanism through which the driving torque of the engine is transmitted to the driving wheel
of the vehicle. The transmission is a sort of speed and power changing device needed between the
engine of the automobile and its driving wheel. A transmission system includes:

Page 14
[INTERNSHIP REPORT]

Clutch, ✓ Final drive, and


Gear box, ✓ Differential system.
Propeller shaft,
The essential parts of the gear box are-the gear case consisting of two halves these are: -
Drive shaft assembly,
Counter shaft assembly ,
Main shaft assembly,
Synchronizing device assembly
Reverse speed gear assembly  Gear shifting mechanism.

Figure
2.8 Transmission system
Requirements of Transmission System:-
Provide means of connection and disconnection of engine with rest of power train without shock and
smoothly.
Provide a varied leverage between the engine and the drive wheels ✓ Provide means to transfer power
in opposite direction.
Enable power transmission at varied angles and varied lengths.
Enable diversion of power flow at right angles.
Provide means to drive the driving wheels at different speeds when required.

Page 15
[INTERNSHIP REPORT]

2.1.1.9.1 Clutch
A clutch is a mechanism which engages and disengages power from engine to transmission. When the
clutch is engaged, the power flows from the engine to the rear wheels through the transmission system
and the vehicle moves. Clutch is disengaged when:
Starting the engine,
Shifting the gears,
Idling the engine

Figure 2.9 clutch


The clutch principle is based on friction. When two friction surfaces are brought in contact with each
other and pressed they are united due to friction between them. If one is revolved the other will also
revolve. The friction between the two surfaces depends upon:
Area of the surface, o Pressure applied upon them,
Coefficient of friction of the surface materials
Here one surface is considered as driving member and the other as driven member.

2.1.1.10 Braking systems

Figure 2.10 braking system

Purposes of braking system:


Stop the vehicle by converting the kinetic energy of the vehicle to heat energy.
Heat energy is created in the brakes by friction.
Friction is created between a moving and a non-moving surface at each wheel to generate the heat.
Disc and drum brakes are the most common type of braking systems used.
2.1.1.11 Disc brake:
In a disc brake, the fluid from the master cylinder is forced into a caliper where it presses against
piston’s. Piston in turn squeezes two brake pads against the disc (rotor), which is attached to wheel,
forcing it to slow down or stop.

Page 18
[INTERNSHIP REPORT]

Figure 2.11 Disc brake


2.1.1.12 Drum brakes
The drum brake has a metal brake drum that encloses the brake assembly at each wheel. Two curved
brake shoes expand outward to slow or stop the drum which rotates with the wheel
Shoes press against a rotating surface. In this system that surface is called a drum. Drum brake also has
an adjuster mechanism, an emergency brake mechanism and lots of springs. The shoes are pulled away
from the drum by the springs when the brakes are released.

Figure 2.12 drum brake


2.1.2. Machine Shop
A machine shop is a room, building, or company where machining is done. Machining can be defined
as the operation of removing the excess metal by means of a cutting tool, in the machine tool; to obtain
the desired shape, size and surface finish.

2.1.5. Welding shop


In this shop different construction molds and different vehicle components were got welded and in
this shop there are different welding machines like arc welding, oxyacetylene gas welding machines
were available for their work.
It is known that welding is a process of joining similar or dissimilar metal together by application of
heat with or without the application of pressure and filler material. In this shop most the works are
undertaken by Arc welding because it is safer than that of the gas welding. Welding of broken hose
and other activities are undertaken by electric arc welding.

Figure 1.17 Oxy-acetylene and Arc welding


In case of oxy-acetylene it use equipment such as oxygen gas cylinder- which is painted black and it
has pressure regulator (right handed) to regulate flow as well as to lower the pressure of the gas. The
shop is mainly uses oxy-acetylene and arc welding. Most vehicles are welded by oxy-acetylene
because the thickness of the body is very less.
2.1.6. Tire shop
Tires shop is one of the types of workshop which is available Ethiopia construction work
corporation garage. In this shop so many works is doing, those works are:
Checking the pressure of the tires

Inflating the tires


Maintaining the bump (attaching the bumper) and etc.
In this to perform the above works it uses different types of machines, such as
air compressor, air pressure gauge, grinder, and etc.
Air compressor: in this shop air compressor is used to inflating the tires. To
inflating the tiers first of all the compressor must be filled by the
atmospheric air and the starting to inflating, but the result is reading from
the gauge.
Wheel fixing
Wheel studs and nuts attach the wheel to the hub.
The wheel studs press through the hub or axle flange.
The taper on the wheel nuts secures and centers the wheel.
Wheel studs usually have a right hand thread.
If it is a left hand thread, it can be marked with “L”
Metric threads can be marked with m or metric.
Wheel nut torque
Correct torque of wheel fixing is vital for all vehicles, and nearly all require the use of a torque wrench
Excessive torque can lead to wheel or hub distortion, causing run out and vibration.
Low torque may allow wheel nuts to work loose and wheels to come off
Nuts should always be tightened in a diagonal pattern.

CHAPTER THREE
3.1 INTRODUCTION
An automobile is one of the most basic and fascinating things that one could own. Cars have now
become a need and it is not only the symbol of luxury anymore. Car maintenance, for example,
is one of the key factors in determining its life span. This includes a basic knowledge of
changing the car’s tire. But replacing a punctured tire has always been a difficult task. Every car
manufacturer provides tools such as L wrench and jack but easy and fast removal of nuts using
these tools requires a skilled person. We designed a remover with 110 pitch circle diameter to
replace L-shaped nut removers and jack which allows driver to remove all nuts at once with less
energy consumption and save time. Several static load analyses were performed in order to find
safety factor of design. The fabrication of all wheel nut removers’ tool was completed by
milling, welding and fitting process. [1]
In a day-to-day life there are many problems where there are needs of lot of effort and time to do
that specific work. A little but important work that all people would do often is opening a wheel
of a vehicle. It is a fact that a huge effort is required to open a single nut of a car wheel and it
will become a tedious task to open the wheel in extreme atmospheric conditions. It also creates
problem when there is an emergency situation.
3.2. PROBLEM STATEMENT
During tire removing Operation the person was supposed to remove individual nuts to remove
the tire which has very high fatigue level.
So, Our Intention was to remove all nuts at a time, to reduce human fatigue level.
Multi-nut opener is a device designed at developed for loosening or tightening of wheel hub nuts
for
Hilux
Land cruiser
Toyota

3.3. OBJECTIVE

When it comes to changing tires, most people find it exhausting and time consuming,
because of the traditional way used for changing tires, which is using the tire lug wrench.
Due to the difficulties that people face in changing tires, we came up with the idea of this
project which is to make the procedure of changing tires much easier and time saving.
Page 30
[INTERNSHIP REPORT]

This project has two main objectives, which are designing and manufacturing an
automotive tire changing mechanism, reduce the time taken to change tires and
optimizing the weight of the prototype.

3.4 Scope of study


We have plan to design multi nut remover worked by manual power this tool can be operated by
any one of different ages from young people to old people as it is easy to use and light in weight.
The vehicles multi wheel nuts remover reduces the time in the normal process and also the man
power used.
3.5 Significance of the study
The significance of this study is that it will reduce labor force and used to save our time will
performing nut removing process.

3.6. WORKING PRINCIPLE


Generally, spur gears are used for transmitting power between non parallel intersecting shafts. So
spur gear arrangement is used for actuating the six socket spanners at a time. Six pinion gears
and one ring gear are used. The ring gear is meshing with six auxiliary pinion gears which are in
turn connected to a gear whose axle containing the socket spanners at its end. The auxiliary
pinion gear connected to a hollow shaft (main shaft) which is acting as a guide for follower. A
lock nut arrangement is provided for connecting the main shaft to follower at any desired
position. When the ring gear is rotated the auxiliary pinion gears are also rotated which in turn
gives a rotary motion to the socket spanner.

CHAPTER FOUR
4.1 LITRATURE REVIEW
In our paper Adjustable Multi nut wheel opener is a special purpose tool made to open/close all
the five nuts of a wheel in one time with less effort. Although various methods are used for
opening nuts, they require a lot of effort to open a single nut. The main objective of work is to
develop a single tool with multiple mechanisms, which can be made use during assembling and
dismantling of wheels in automobiles. It can be successfully used as a standard tool irrespective
of the model of the vehicle. Also it can be used in assembly line of automobiles, garages,
workshops and service stations. In the paper of B. Sivakumar a gear or "gear wheel" is a rotating
machine part having cut teeth, or cogs, which mesh with another toothed part in order to transmit
power. Two or more gears working in tandem are called a transmission and produce mechanical
advantages through a gear ratio and thus may be considered a simple machine. Gears are mostly
used in the mechanical field for power transmission, this project report on stress analysis of spur
gears. Spur gear made of cast iron which is use for high strength. In the paper of A. S.Ud gave
Multiple-spindle drilling machines are used for mass production, a great time saver where many
pieces of jobs having many holes are to be drilled. Multi- spindle head machines are used in
mechanical industry in order to increase the productivity of machining systems. The multiple
spindle drilling machines is a production type of machine. It is used to drill two holes in a work
piece simultaneously, in one setting. The holes are drilled on number of work pieces with the
same accuracy. So we adopt the basic design for over project [2]

4.2 MATERIAL AND METHOD


The materials used for the design of the various machine components are based on the type of
force that will be acting on them, expected work or function, the environmental
conditions in which they will function, useful physical and mechanical properties, cost and
availability in the local market or the environment.
The working procedures adopted in fabricating the developed machine illustrated as bellow:-

Page 32
[INTERNSHIP REPORT]

4.3 DESIGN OF EACH COMPONENT

3.1 Design Constraints


3.1.1 Safety
Safety is considered to be an essential requirement for any project. Therefore, in this
project, we will follow the international standards for choosing types of materials and
parts being used that will lead to prevention of any failures caused by the mechanism.

3.1.2 Social & Economics


As we know, time is money. Therefore, using our project will save a lot of time, because
it’s fast and can screw or unscrew 5 lug nuts simultaneously. In addition, compared to the
available mechanisms to change tires in workshops such as impact wrenches, our project
is faster.

Page 33
[INTERNSHIP REPORT]

3.1.3 Engineering Standards


The project is consisting of many components, which are; gears, bearings, shafts, motor,
and spanners. All of these components were selected based on existing standards such as
SKF catalogue, and American Iron and Steel Institute.

3.1.4 Manufacturability
Our project can be manufactured easily, and it can be used in a wide range of applications
such as tire manufacturing companies, workshops and portable using. On one hand,
gears, bearings, and shafts will be manufactured based on their availability in the market.
On the other hand, the motor will be selected based on the calculations of torque,
horsepower and its availability in the market.

3.1.5 Time
As we all know, time is money, and our project is going to perform efficiently and save
time by screwing and unscrewing all lug nuts simultaneously. Instead of using the normal
way to unscrew nuts such as lug wrench, our prototype will allow the user to unscrew all
5 nuts in one move by using a gear train system to generate a torque to unscrew the five
nuts simultaneously

3.1.6 Quality
Quality of projects is a very important aspect of any design, and in our design we are
making sure that the quality of materials used in the system and its parts is good and
meets the standards.

3.2 Design Methodology


Our project can be divided into five phases. First phase is brainstorming where we collect
information about the basic design aspects. In addition, using brainstorming method can
specify the features of our design. In this phase, we define the major aspects needed for
building the prototype such as, gears, shafts, bearings and spanners. Also, in this phase
we conduct the Gantt chart, where we divide the tasks and their time durations for the
project. Second phase includes gathering information about the conceptual design of our
Page 34
[INTERNSHIP REPORT]

project from, books, journals, and old projects.

Third phase, is analysis and calculation of design. This phase is considered to be an


important phase where manufacturing the prototype depends on it. This phase has a lot of
calculations that include dimensions such as gears centers, pitch diameter, thickness of
gears, size of shafts, number of teeth, and ratio of gears. Moreover, the calculations
include the torque required to unscrew one nut, power transmitted from the motor and
factor of safety (FOS). Additionally, the design of our prototype is made using
SolidWorks. SolidWorks includes all dimensions of the parts, 2D drawing, and assembly
of the parts. Fourth phase is buying parts and manufacturing in market. Also, estimating
the cost and the availability of parts in market whether there are gears, shafts, spanner
and joints, because some parts need to be made in workshops. Finally, fifth phase
includes welding, assembly of parts in workshops and testing our prototype.

3.3 Design, calculations and selections

Figure 4.1: Assembly from different sides

Page 35
[INTERNSHIP REPORT]

Figure 4.2 Exploded view of assembly

As shown in figures above, our design has three levels because we couldn’t design a
different size of gears at the one level with a 114.3 PCD without avoiding gear
interference. So, we started to build our design on an actual wheel hub, and we designed
three levels to avoid the gear interference problem. See figure below.

Figure 4.3: Car hub

The first level of our design has two driven gears and one driver gear. While the second
level has two driven gears and one driver gear. Lastly, third level has one driven gear and
one driver gear. Therefore, the total number of driven gears is five, and for the driver

Page 36
[INTERNSHIP REPORT]

gears it’s three. All driven and driver gears are held by 6 shafts. Moreover, gears and shafts are
held by a circular plate and six ball bearings to reduce the rotational friction
and support radial loads. Finally, in top of the shaft there is a wheel spanner to unscrew
the lug nuts. Table 3.1 shows a summary of the design specification for gears, shafts, and
the circular plate.

CONCLUSION
To sum up, we successfully managed to design and manufacture an automotive tire changing
mechanism that can unscrew 6 lug nuts of a wheel simultaneously. In addition, this project can
be used in a variety of applications such as tire manufacturing companies and workshops.
Moreover, while working on this project during the semester, we have gained a lot of skills. For
example, we used the theoretical knowledge that we have gained from mechanical engineering
courses and apply it in our project practically to design and manufacture our prototype.
Additionally, this project wouldn’t have been completed, without the equal contribution of each
team member in completing the tasks. Finally, working on this project taught us how to work
under pressure, especially that this semester was short.

RECOMMENDATION
We recommended ECWC Nekemte district the following points:
This company should work correlation with Mizan Tepi University to support the student to visit
these automobile parts periodically so, they can understand easily what they learned by theory
when they see practically.
In order to increase accuracy and durability of maintained components, the company should
implement the use of CAD software’s like Solid works and Catia.
In order to decrease time consumption on mounting an engine for test after inspection and
maintenance, the company should invest on buying an engine stand.
Using older machines does not make competent, so the company has to use latest machines such
as CNC machines to become successful company regardless of time management and upgrading
its production capacity
