[0044] Referring to figures 5 (a, b, c, d, e), the perspective view of drive drawing mechanism with a hydraulic mechanism arrangement is shown. In one embodiment, the drive drawing mechanism (132) comprises a hydraulic mechanism which will be connected or associated with the vehicle to deliver drive to the drive drawing mechanism. Hydraulic devices as single or double actions are common in the modern world. These devices are used where human strength is not enough, for example application in air brakes, shock absorbers, etc. For this, they use liquid fluid power to perform work. Herein, the hydraulic fluid is pumped to various hydraulic motors and hydraulic single / double acting cylinders throughout the machine, which therein gets pressurized due to resistance offered by the pipes to the flow of the hydraulic fluid. Here, the fluid flow is controlled by the driver by control lever / controllers provided inside the driver’s cabin, and the force exerted by a cylinder is dependent upon the cylinder bore size and the pump pressure.

The force experienced within a pneumatic control system is pushing, pulling, rotating, and regulating the system’s drives. It is, basically, a connection of various components, for example, compressors, intercoolers, controllers, actuators, etc., that converts the pressure energy of compressed air to the drive required in the foldable arms for mechanical work.

[0047] Pneumatic systems are employed where human strength is not enough. Herein, a suitable motor is used to run the compressor in the pneumatic system. The capacity of the motor depends upon the size of the compressor and the power required to run the compressor, and is directly connected to the power supply. In this mechanism, the air comes into the compressor through an air filter due to the vacuum generated by the blades of the compressor. The air is filtered out in the air filter and then goes into the compressor. The compressed air then enters the air coolerwhere the temperature of the air is reduced to improve the efficiency of the system. The compressed cold air is then stored in the storage reservoir to make the air readily available. The air then enters the filter, regulator and lubricator (FRL) unit where it is filtered again, pressure is regulated and some oil is added to lubricate the air. From the FRL unit, the air goes into the direction of control valve where the air is sent according to the user’s command. From directional control valve (DCV), the air finally enters the actuator where the pressure energy is converted to foldable arm’s mechanical work.
