Description:1: Disposal Bin with Segregation Compartment:
The disposal bin serves as the primary container for waste collection. It includes a segregation compartment designed to separate different types of waste, such as recyclables and non-recyclables. The bin should have appropriate compartments and openings to facilitate waste segregation.
2: Geared Motor:
The geared motor is a crucial component responsible for automating certain functions of the smart waste bin. It can be used to drive mechanisms that aid in waste disposal, such as the movement of the segregation compartment or lid opening and closing.
3: Steel Plate:
Steel plates are commonly used for structural support and durability in the construction of the smart waste bin. They can be employed for the bin's frame, base, or other load-bearing components.
4: Battery:
A rechargeable battery powers the smart waste bin's electronic components, ensuring uninterrupted operation. The battery should have sufficient capacity to support the bin's functions and may include a charging system to maintain power.
5: Servo Motor:
The servo motor is a precise and controllable motor that can be used for various purposes in the smart waste bin, such as opening and closing the segregation compartment or controlling the bin's lid.
6: Microcontroller (Arduino/Raspberry Pi):
The microcontroller is the brain of the smart waste bin. It processes data from sensors, controls actuators, and manages the overall functionality of the bin. Popular choices for microcontrollers include Arduino and Raspberry Pi, which offer a range of capabilities for customization.
7: Ultrasonic Sensor (Motion Detector):
Ultrasonic sensors are used for detecting the fill level of the waste bin. They emit ultrasonic waves and measure the time it takes for the waves to bounce back, providing data on how full the bin is. This data helps in efficient waste collection scheduling.
8: Moisture Sensor:
A moisture sensor can be integrated into the smart waste bin to detect the presence of liquids in the waste. This is especially useful to prevent leakage or contamination and is essential for proper waste disposal.
9: Actuator (Motor/Solenoid):
Actuators, such as motors or solenoids, are responsible for physical movements within the bin. They can be used to automate processes like opening and closing compartments, releasing waste into the collection area, or initiating the waste disposal process.
10: Metal Plate (10mm Thick):
Thick metal plates may be used for reinforcement or as protective shields for sensitive electronic components within the bin. They enhance the durability and safety of the overall design.
11: Female DC Motor:
A female DC motor may be employed for specific mechanical actions within the smart waste bin. It can be connected to the geared motor or other moving parts to drive specific functions, such as waste separation.
12: 10mm Screw:
Screws are essential for assembling and securing various components of the bin. The 10mm screws are likely used for joining thicker materials or providing additional stability.
13: Pulley Belt:
Pulley belts can be used in conjunction with motors to transfer motion or force to specific parts of the bin's mechanism, enabling controlled movement and precise actions.
14: Nut Bolts:
Nut bolts are used for fastening and securing different components together. They are essential for the structural integrity of the bin and for keeping various parts in place.
15: Wires:
Wires are the electrical connections that link all electronic components in the smart waste bin. They allow for data transmission, power distribution, and communication between sensors, actuators, and the microcontroller. , Claims:We Claim:
