Auto-Segregating Dustbin: Basic Block Diagram
Auto-Segregating Dustbin: Basic Block Diagram
The proposed idea suggests that the segregation is done for you while disposing
waste rather than having to do it manually. An example of laziness gives you
new ideas! Mechanisms will be used to open the bin automatically to seal the
smell. All the garbage falls on a platform in an intermediate chamber between
the outside environment and the final bin. Sensors present here will determine
the nature of the items based on the dielectric constant of material. Platform
can be made rotatable for the sensor to cover all items as much as possible. The
items will then be transferred to recyclable or non-recyclable dustbins based on
what it is. Various mechanisms is to be made to coordinate the entry of both the
doors and also to open and close it accordingly. A sensor should also be placed
in the final bin to check it’s level and notify when it’s full.
