- Design and development of a mechatronic water saving system applied to conventional faucetsPublication . Kchok, Ahmed; Coelho, João PauloThis document describes all procedures associated to the development of an innovative product in the context of a master’s degree. The study takes place according to tree pillars: statistics, conception and management. In places such us north Africa and middle Asia, water is very scarce as the statistics will disclose. Although this fact, people are burdened by a high cost of such resource and are constantly seeking to save water. Taking these into the consideration, the aim of this dissertation is to study the creation of an innovative device that detects and controls the flowing of water from STL faucets. Specifically, the design was developed using the SolidWorks software and taking into consideration the design constants such as the size and to fit it into a common commercial water tap. The electronic circuit is based on infra-red sensor’s treated via Arduino uno’s ATmega328P micro controller. The power is provided by a 12 volt battery and regulated by DC-DC converters. The document end with a study of a possible commercialisation of the developed solution as a product by providing both business and financial plan.
- Design and development of a mechatronic water saving system for conventional faucetsPublication . Kchok, Ahmed; Coelho, João PauloIn many places in the globe, such as north Africa and middle Asia, water is very precious and scarce resource and must be must be used rationally. For example, preventing water from running through the taps when it is not being used is one of the actions that should be considered. This article follows on from this idea and describes the prototype for that can be attached to conventional offthe- shelf faucets in order to prevent water waste. the document later disclose the water wastage problem specific to the households problem namely water taps, highlighting a shade of what predecessors had relevantly done to solve it. In addition, the paper provides the obtained results annexed with some explanatory diagrams. drawings the conclusions. theWater is essential for all living creatures on the planet, hence efforts to conserve it must be made. Making automated water taps is one way to reduce water consumption. so it’s important to conceive of a solution that controls both water level and water flow much us reducing related energy like heat and electricity. Basically, the circuit is mounted on a breadboard as the electronic part will be incorporated into the system design conceived to fit the majority of single lever tap. The document end with a study of a 3d devise having design which can be a commercialised devise with more improvement of a potential manufacturer.
