Project Summary

Introduction:

Covid19 changed all of humankind in 2020. Due to its fast and efficiently spreading nature, it is necessary for all to avoid physical contact. we can use masks to protect us outside but what about the things we bring home from the market or things we exchange with other people. For example, We cannot apply sanitizers on fruits, vegetables, packed food, batteries, etc. Similarly, we can’t sanitize files or paperwork that exchange with each other. This problem can be solved by using an intelligent electronic system powered by an Arduino. The disinfecting box has the ability to autodetect items in the box and disinfect them. The tool's design is used to sterilize everyday objects that are indicated to be exposed to viruses or bacteria such as PPE for medical, cloth masks, clothing, shoes, cutlery, food delivery, money, and the like. That way, the possibility of spreading the Covid-19 virus can be minimized and even prevented by sterilizing objects before and after use.

Methodology:

The design of this project is based on Arduino under Ultraviolet light using appropriate switches and sensors. The system makes use of a UV tube to achieve this task. UV tube is placed at the top and the other at the bottom to get complete 3600 disinfection. The Arduino controller takes user input for time setting and starts sterilization when the start button is pressed. It automatically shuts off when the sterilization time is completed. Also, an automatic shutoff system shuts off the sterilization if the user between ongoing sterilization opens the lid.

Applications:

• UV-C devices are widely used to contaminate room surfaces in health care institutes.
• Large application of UV-C devices exists in the field of hospitals, Biomedical and non-medical laboratories.
• The use of UV-C equipment within ventilation systems is widely encouraged in reducing pollution and control benefits transmission of infection to the respiratory system repeatedly.

Project Objectives

• It reduces the risk of human error arising from manual disinfection.
• We are applying modern trends in sterilizer box to provide a reasonable solution for the disinfection of germs.
• The whole process of the sterilizer system is automated so that we have a digital atmosphere.
• They were preventing the spreading of coronavirus and other germs by breaking their DNA structure with the help of Ultraviolet radiation.
• Encouraging the use of technology in daily lives to protect personal equipment.

Project Implementation Method

The design of this project is based on Arduino under Ultraviolet light using appropriate switches and sensors. The system makes use of a UV tube to achieve this task. The Arduino controller takes user input for time setting and starts sterilization when the start button is pressed. It automatically shuts off when the sterilization time is completed. Also, an automatic shutoff system shuts off the sterilization if the user between ongoing sterilization opens the lid.

Benefits of the Project

• Dry Sterilization Without Water or Chemicals
• Harmless Sterilization
•  Proven for Bacteria and Virus Deactivation
• Adjustable Sterilization Time
• Automatic Safety Shutoff if opened untimely

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

UV-C-based sterilizer Box for protecting against coronavirus is a system that protects personal equipment like mobiles, wallets, and food clothes by using Ultraviolet-C type light. when an object is placed under a UV light tube it breaks the DNA of germs and makes the germs disinfect. This process is done by using touchless technology.
