Bottle Short Machine

Abstract

La maquina contenedor de botellas es una maquina diseñada para ayudar y hacer mas eficiente el proceso de reciclaje. La maquina esta compuesta por sensores, actuadores, raspberry pies, arduino, bateria, tubos, un monitos, botones y un motor.

La maquina esta diseñada para que el usuario pueda jugar un juego despues de tirar botellas, en el que dependiendo de los aciertos podra obtener un premio. El sistema interior detecta la botella, la analiza y la separa en funcion de su color. Una vez separada la puerta se abre y el sistema vuelve a empezar. Hay multitud de sensores que se usan para comprobar las posiciones de los tubos y el motor mas que para el movimiento en si, pero no dejan de ser parte del sistema.

The bottle sort machine is a intelligent machine that should encourage their user to recicle more. It has been design for big event such as a Rugby game. The machine has two parts, the exterior made by the monitor and the tube ( and the container), and the interior part; with the circuit, battery, sensors, raspberry pies, arduinos, actuators and cables to make the system work. The system works this way, the monitor is always on, when a bottle is introduce it gives credits to the user, after depositing all the bottles there is a quiz game with basic questions that the provider gives, depending on the anserds a prize is awarded. That is how the exterior part works. The interior system work this way, when a bottle is introduce a sensor detectecs it and a door is close, the system detects the color of the bottle and move the bottle to the section desire(4 sections, one for each colour). The mottor moves the bottles, after the bottle is shorted the door is open and the process starts again. Most of the sensors use are to check the correct position of the doors, tubes and mottor. The system required of 2 raspberry pies, for the front game and to take a picture of the bottles. One arduino Uno and a system of realys since a lot of pins where needed. 3 actuators, two for the tube and one for the 2, as well as an optical sensor for each actuator. A widescreen motor to move the bottles inside the tube and 3 optical sensor to check the position. A colour sensor and a force sensor for the bottles. System was powerded by a car battery.
