AUTOMATIC CRADLE MACHINE


 

 CHAPTER NO:-1
 INTRODUCTION


1.1  INTRODUCTION:
Generally, the baby cradle is used for to make sleep and soothe to baby. For example guardian have to take care of their child till as they asleep. However, conventional cradle does not electronically equipped such like battery or adapter to automate the cradle automatically. In Addition to that, these kind of conventional cradle is used in villages areas or non-developed cities due to its low prices. But the problem of this kind of designated cradle is that you need manpower to take care of your child and your child may not be safe and feel comfortable in the conventional cradle. Thus, we need automatic cradle to take care of child which uses the battery or power source. Besides, there are extra features or function is provided by the newly automatic cradle that is beneficial for parents. Because in the present world people are very busy in their professional life so they do not get ample time to take care of their infants. It will be very difficult control the babies and if someone is hiring professional to take care of their infants. It may increase your expenses from monthly expenditure. Moreover, in today, life it is very hard to even for the homemakers (mummy) to sit nearby their babies and sooth them whenever they feel uncomfortable. Though, it is automatic this application is very useful for the nurses in maternity units of hospital.

   Objective of the project 
Ø  To design the development of an intelligent baby care, which has ability to monitor baby movement, bed-wet condition and body temperature. 
Ø  To make a baby cradle is safe and comfortable for baby with using PIR sensor to detect the movement of the baby body as well as bed-wet condition to keep away baby from hygienic environment. 
Ø  To make cradle innovation that is more flexible and less expensive to market.
Ø  User friendly- simple and complete with instruction


CHAPTER NO:- 2 SELECTION OF PROJECT





2.1 SELECTION OF PROJECT:
As we are very well familiar with the hurdles faced by Parents to nurture their infant and especially in case if both the Parents are working. To give 24 hours of time in such cases is next to impossible. Thus, we need to develop something unique that can help Parents to have a continuous surveillance/watch on the Baby/Infant and can notify about the same.
Thus, we have come up with an idea to design a Smart Cradle System using IOT which will help the Parents to monitor their child even if they are away from home & detect every activity of the Baby from any distant corner of the world.
It is an innovative, smart & protective Cradle System to nurtue an infant in an efficient way. This system considers all the minute details required for the care & protection of the Baby in the cradle. The design of smartness & innovation comes with the use of technologies/methodologies which include Internet Of Things (IOT) (Modules like Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Humidity & Temperature sensing), Swing Automation, Cry Detecting Mechanism, Live Video Surveillance, Cloud Computing (Data Storage) & User Friendly Android Mobile Application (for User Controls).
In order to detect each & every activity of Baby, different Sensors/Modules are attached to the Cradle: Humidity & Temperature Sensing Module for detection of Wetness of the bed, A Camera on top of the Cradle for live video footage & Cry Detection Circuit to analyse Cry Patterns which eventually triggers the swinging mechanism (if required based on the range of frequency).

WORKING PRINCIPLE & CONSTRUCTION


 3.1 Working Principle
Principle behind cradle swing stays in comparing the baby cry generated sound level in dB 𝑥 with a preset value 𝑦 and it swings if 𝑥 is greater than 𝑦.

The amplified signal is generated from the voice input. This amplified signal is then converted into a digital signal from which sound level 𝑥 is calculated.


𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑 𝑙𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙 (𝑥) = 20 log  𝑣𝑖𝑛 dB
         𝑣0           
Where,
Vin = Voltage (ADC count) when baby is crying.
V0 = Average reference voltage (ADC count) when baby is not crying.

The preset value 𝑦 is set initially as part of configuration of the system. It is the least value among the samples of baby cry sound levels and it can be modified in future as and when
necessary.

4.2-Caster wheels
4.3-Supported Frame
4.4- Shaft
4.5- Bearing
4.6- Motor
4.7- PIR Sensor
4.8-Arduino UNO
4.1:-S.S Hollow Pipes
Steel pipes are long, hollow tubes that are used for a variety of purposes. They are produced by two distinct methods which result in either a welded or seamless pipe. In both methods, raw steel is first cast into a more workable starting form. It is then made into a pipe by stretching the steel out into a seamless tube or forcing the edges together and sealing them with a weld. The first methods for producing steel pipe were introduced in the early 1800s, and they have steadily evolved into the modern processes we use today. Each year, millions of tons of steel pipe are produced.
        4.2:- CASTER WHEEL

A caster is a wheeled device typically mounted to a larger object that enables relatively easy rolling movement of the object. Casters are essentially special housings that include a wheel, facilitating the installation of wheels on objects. Casters are found virtually everywhere, from office desk chairs to shipyards, from hospital beds to automotive factories. They range in size from the very small furniture casters to massive industrial casters, and individual load capacities span 100 pounds (45 kg) or less to 100,000 pounds (45 t). Wheel materials include cast iron, plastic, rubber, polyurethane, forged steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and more.

Casters are categorized in various ways. For example, a caster may be generally classified as either a plate or stem caster, depending on how it attaches to its load.
Plate caster: This is the most commonly used mounting mechanism. Mounting plates (sometimes called "top plates") typically provide four holes which are used to bolt the caster to the load.
Stem caster: This type of caster has a stem which is inserted into a mating receptacle on the load. Common types of stems include threaded, round or square with mounting holes, grip-ring (also called "friction ring"), and expandable.
Casters are also generally classified as either a swivel or rigid type. A swivel caster pivots around a kingpin to allow it to rotate and roll. The rigid (also called "fixed") caster has its wheel mounted in a fixed frame (also call "housing," "rig," "fork," or "yoke") and it only rolls forward and backward.


           4.3:-SUPPORTED FRAME


The supported frame is used to support the components. The total arrangement is depends on this frame. This frame is made stainless steel.

             4.4:-SHAFT

A shaft is a rotating machine element, usually circular in cross section, which is used to transmit power from one part to another, or from a machine which produces power to machine which absorbs power. The various members such as pulleys and gears are mounted on it.


            They are mainly classified into two types.
         Transmission shafts are used to transmit power between the source and the machine absorbing por; e.g. counter shafts and line shafts.
              Integral part of the machine itself; e.g. crankshaft.

4.5:-BEARINGS

A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion, and reduces friction between moving parts. The design of the bearing may, for example, provide for free linear movement of the moving part or for free rotation around a fixed axis; or, it may prevent a motion by controlling the vectors of normal forces that bear on the moving parts. Most bearings facilitate the desired motion by minimizing friction. Bearings are classified broadly according to the type of operation, the motions allowed, or to the directions of the loads (forces) applied to the parts.


               Rotary bearings hold rotating components such as shafts or axles within mechanical systems, and transfer axial and radial loads from the source of the load to the structure supporting it. The simplest form of bearing, the plain bearing, consists of a shaft rotating in a hole. Lubrication is used to reduce friction. In the ball bearing and roller bearing, to reduce sliding friction, rolling elements such as rollers or balls with a circular cross-section are located between the races or journals of the bearing assembly. A wide variety of bearing designs exists to allow the demands of the application to be correctly met for maximum efficiency, reliability, durability and performance.
           


 4.6:-MOTOR
An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of rotation of a shaft. Electric motors can be powered by direct current (DC) sources, such as from batteries, motor vehicles or rectifiers, or by alternating current (AC) sources, such as a power grid, inverters or electrical generators. An electric generator is mechanically identical to an electric motor, but operates in the reverse direction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.


                    Electric motors may be classified by considerations such as power source type, internal construction, application and type of motion output. In addition to AC versus DC types, motors may be brushed or brushless, may be of various phase (see single-phase, two-phase, or three-phase), and may be either air-cooled or liquid-cooled. General-purpose motors with standard dimensions and characteristics provide convenient mechanical power for industrial use. The largest electric motors are used for ship propulsion, pipeline compression and pumped-storage applications with ratings reaching 100 megawatts. Electric motors are found in industrial fans, blowers and pumps, machine tools, household appliances, power tools and disk drives. Small motors may be found in electric watches.
             

        4.7:- PIR SENSOR


A passive infrared sensor is an solid sensor that measures infrared lighting radiating from objects in its field of view. It is solid sensor or set of sensors made from pyro electric material –material which generate energy when exposed to heat. That’s why it also called pyro electric infrared sensor.                                                  
      

        4.8:- Arduino UNO
Arduino is a single board smaller scale microcontroller expected to make the use of intuitive
protests or situations more available (Figure-5 & Figure-6). The equipment comprise of an open
source equipment board outlined around an 8-bit Atmel AVR microcontroller, or a 32-bit Atmel
ARM. Current models highlight a USB interface, six simple inputs pins, and additionally 14
advanced I/O pins which permits a client to connect different augmentation sheets. Arduino Uno
can sense the environment by using the sensor , sensor receive the signal from environment and
send to the input part of Arduino, Arduino give the output from the output part as the
programming burn in the microcontroller. Arduino accept a programming software called sketch.
An Arduino can program infinite time. If a new program burn in the Arduino then previous
program will automatically vanish. We can use multiple of sensor at a time and all the instruction
should be in one program.
