This a 2nd year bachelor project in University of Liverpool. The aim of the Project is to build a conveyor belt sensor that can detect the temperature change and react correspondingly on the conveyor speed. Besides a cooling system and security alert system are also concerned in this project. Below are the overview of this project. One application for this circuit is an automated oven for cake baking.
People Involved in this Project:
- Supervisor: Dr.Raja. Munira
- Project members:
- Xu, Wangkun
- Al Khatri, Hatem Salim Ali
- Alghamdi, Abdulla Ghazi O
- Dashti, Lojain A H M J
- Sulaiman, Maryam Elubobie
Project Overview:
The conveyor belt sensor should accomplish the following functions:- Varying the speed of the motor depending on the temperature. When temperature goes up, the consequential speed of the motor should also go high;
- Immediate shut the motor and alert for narrow distance;
- A screen displays the current surrounding temperature and motor speed;
- A cooling system that can refrigerate the belt when the temperature is higher than a manually set value;
- Operationally, some indicators to show the working status of the circuit.
