Design of a semi-automatic system that projects UV-C rays for the sterilization of household pantry products

Published:28 March 2022Publication History

ABSTRACT

This research presents the design and control of a machine for use in homes, using mechatronic systems. In this work, control is defined for the correct use of UV light, thus being the most efficient. The development of the project shows that the application of the intensity control application of the bulbs that emit UV rays improves autonomy and the external coupling improves the safety of the system. Control of disinfection time was also added for each type of different product to be disinfected. In addition, the system showed the ease of use and high efficiency.
