Automatic Cloth Folding Machine ECE 445 Senior Design Automatic Cloth Folding Machine Group 43 Xudong Li, Anran Su, Suicheng Zhan TA: Yuchen He Xudong

Introduction Problem Folding all the clothes once Solution they come out from the dryer is a tedious and time-consuming task Solution The folding machine redefines the way we interact with laundries by automatically detect the presence of the clothes and fold them in a neat way Xudong

Objective Functionality Cost Effectiveness Safety Convenience Able to fold various types of clothes into a rectangle regardless color, material and size Cost Effectiveness Competitive price to build, operate and maintain without compromising robustness Safety Obstacle detection before and during the folding process Convenience requires little human involvement Xudong

Physical Design Anran

Power Supply Unit Power Protection Circuit Four serial-connected rechargeable lithium batteries provide 14.8V Protection Circuit Cut off the whole circuit when input voltage is below 4.7V Voltage Regulators Four regulators. One regulates the voltage to 5V, the other three regulates the voltage to 5.8V Suicheng, why use 2 different regulators

Customize the R1, R2 and R3 to change protection threshold Protection Circuit Use LTC4365 Chip from Linear Technology Suicheng

Protection Circuit Prevent the motor from burning Turn off the circuit when input voltage below 4.7V or above 16V Suicheng

Voltage Regulator 5.8V regulator Each one drives one servo motor Regulates output voltage to 5.8V± 0.1V Suicheng

Voltage Regulator 5V regulator Drives the rest of circuit Regulates output voltage to 5V± 0.1V Suicheng

Sensing Unit Cloth sensing Human hands and arms sensing Use photoresistor to detect the presence of clothes Human hands and arms sensing Use passive infrared motion sensor to detect the motion of human hands and arms Anran

Cloth sensing Output voltage is around 4.26V when uncovered Output voltage drops below 3V when covered by clothes Microcontroller detects the change in voltage to achieve cloth sensing Anran Uncovered Covered Black Covered Grey Covered White Current(mA) 0.425 0.07 0.3 0.372 VOUT(V) 4.26 0.6 2.6 2.86 Power(mW) 2.125 0.35 1.5 1.86

Human hands and arms sensing When no motion detected , output voltage 0V, digital low When human hands and arms motion detected, output voltage 3.3V, digital high Time delay between transition from high to low: 4 seconds Sensitivity and detection range: around 3 meters Anran Outputting high Outputting low Current(µA) 140 40 Power(mW) 0.7 0.2
