Aim
To create an automated bottle filling system.
Problem statement
The system should incorporate sensors to detect the presence of a water bottle, automatically dispense the appropriate amount of water, and shut off when the filling is complete. Explore options for touchless operation through proximity sensors or smartphone connectivity to minimize the risk of contamination. Additionally, integrate features such as water purification, bottle sanitization, and a user-friendly interface for customization. The goal is to create an efficient, hands-free, and sustainable solution for filling water bottles in various public settings.
Material used
Input: IR Proximity Sensor
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: Transistor switch + Water pump
Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
IR Proximity sensor
The function of Ultrasonic Sensor is to detect the water bottle
Transistor switch + Water pump
Water pump is used to fill the water bottle in a perfect quantity.
TinkerSpace Brain Board
TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is to monitor IR Proximity Sensor and and water pump.
Battery
5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project
Working description
Case 1: When the bottle is detected, IR Proximity sensor turns ON and sends the signal to the Tinkerspace Brain Board. The brain board turn on the Water pump.
Case 2: When the bottle is not detected, IR Proximity sensor turns OFF and sends the signal to the Tinkerspace Brain Board. The brain board turn off the Water pump.
Circuit Design (DesignSpace)
Step 1: Connect IR PROXIMITY to input 1
Step 2: Connect Transistor switch (WATER PUMP) to output 1
Step 3: Connect supply and test project.
