My idea is to make a touch less Automatic dispenser for sanitizer hand gel or liquid soap.
I want to make this project to fight Corona virus and reduce the risk of infection with that danger virus and with any other virus or bacteria that can transmitted through the contact between the people and the surfaces
Construction Parts :
*container for the bottle of sanitizer gel or liquid soap.
*container for the electronics parts , motor & Arduino
(both of them are made from printed plastic by 3d printer or from Acrylic/plywood parts by laser cutter )
Input:
*On/off switch with light
*Mobile App (via Bluetooth Communication)
Sensing :
*Ultrasonic distance sensor or Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Module
*Weight or pressure Sensor
*Limit switch
Motor :
*steper motor(NEMA 17) or servo motor(MG996R)
Mechanical modules :
*Lead Screw T8 for CNC & 3D Printer Size 8x400mm + Nut
*Flexible Coupling L25xD19mm , Inner 5x8mm
*FL08 Lead Screw End Support Pillow Bearing 8mm for CNC and 3D Printer
*Precision Round Rail Linear Guide 8mm L400mm+Bearing
*M3 Screw
Brain :
*Arduino Uno
Output:
A little bit of gel on hand of user
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
Minimum User Features
Action: steper motor run to push the dispenser through the slider
Sensing: Ultrasonic Sensor
User Input: on/off button +pushbutton
Complete User Features
Action: steper motor run to push the dispenser through the slider
Sensing: Ultrasonic Sensor +limit switch
User Input: on/off button +knop to control level of slider
Nice-to-have User Features
Action: steper motor run to push the dispenser through the slider +LCD to show time the user need to wash his/her hand (30 sec)
Sensing: Ultrasonic Sensor +limit switch +pressure sensor
User Input: on/off button +knop to control level of slider +mobile app to control the number of pushes or the amount of sanitizer that user need
1.Create Bill of the Materials : (2 to 4 days)
