The present invention discloses a smart washing machine that can be controlled through a remote or with a mobile from anywhere.

In describing the preferred embodiment of the present invention, reference will be made herein to like numerals refer to like features of the invention.

Arduino UNO: Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on 8-bit ATmega328P microcontroller. Along with ATmega328P, it consists other components such as crystal oscillator, serial communication, voltage regulator, etc. to support the microcontroller.

Relay module: The relay module is an electrically operated switch that can be turned on or off deciding to let current flow through or not, and can be controlled with low voltages, like the 5V provided by the Arduino pins. Controlling a relay module with the Arduino is as simple as controlling any other output as we’ll see later on.
Its basic function is to allow a low power control voltage operate a high-power switch. The control and the switch are electrically isolated from each other and they have their own voltage and current ratings/requirements.

IR Receiver: An infrared receiver, or IR receiver, is a hardware that sends information from an infrared remote control to another device by receiving and decoding signals. In general, the receiver outputs a code to uniquely identify the infrared signal that it receives. IR Receiver are commonly used to control electronic devices wirelessly, mainly through a remote. TV remotes and AC remotes are the best example of IR transmitters.
Jumper Wire: Jumper wires are used to connect two points in a circuit. These wires are frequently used with breadboards and other prototyping tools in order to make it easy to change a circuit as needed. Male jumpers are designed to plug securely into the holes in a breadboard. Female jumpers are useful for connecting male header posts and pin terminals on components. Jumper wires are used for making connections between items on the breadboard and the Arduino's header pins.

According to preferred embodiment of the present invention, the smart washing machine (8) comprises of arduino UNO (1), relay module (2), IR receiver (3), jumper wires (4) provides a contactless switch including a sensor (5) that is capable to control all functions of a washing machine (8).

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the arduino (1) decodes the IR remote signals and controls DC motors (7a, 7b) depending on the pressing of the button. Five buttons are used on the remote (6); when the next button on the remote (6) is pressed, motors (7a) will rotate in clockwise direction. And if the previous button is pressed motors (7b) will rotate in anticlockwise direction. These two motors ((7a, 7b) can be controlled individually using left, right arrow buttons and stop button can be used to stop the rotation.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, as depicted in Figure 1, a no-touch switch (9) works entirely on IR based remote (6). The smart contactless switch (9) includes a sensor (5) that is capable to control all functions of a washing machine (8). The IR receiver (3) controls the motion of machine motor (7a, 7b) with the help of remote(6); the arduino (1) is used for controlling and programming purpose; the IR receiver, receives signal from remote (6) and send them to the arduino board (1) and it operate the washing machine (8) through relay module (2).

According to another embodiment, the present invention can operate the electric motor of Washing machine (8) without touching switch so to keep safe people in covid19 or any same/similar situation and keep safe with electric shock, it can be used at public areas, for example vending machine parking system or sanitary areas and in smart home automation.
