IR obstacle detection to actuate load

Description

This IR obstacle detection to actuate load kit proposes automatic detection of objects to activate load. The proposed auto-detection of objects is done using the IR sensor to indicate the object's presence. The microcontroller continuously monitors the infrared receiver. When any object passes through the IR receiver then the IR rays falling on the receiver are obstructed, this obstruction is sensed by the microcontroller This system is used to turn on a load whenever the IR ray is blocked by an object, person, etc. The transmitter transmits the IR rays.

The IR obstacle detection to actuate load system can be used in conveyor belts, lifts, and many industrial types of machinery. This ray is received by a tuned IR receiver continuously. Whenever there is an obstacle to the IR ray the receiver sends a signal to the microcontroller which actuates a load, from its output by giving the proper signal as per programming to the load control unit.

The IR continuously monitors the object. If the IR sensor sends a signal (which signifies object) then a signal is sent to the controller which drives to energize the motor driver to drive the motor. LCD shows the status of the load. The kit comprises IR based sensing unit, controller interface for processing, and load driving unit.
