Ideas on Collection System - World Wide Team

  • In the group that is coordinated by the LHB, the World Wide team (Team 3) formed by Raúl, Marina, Nerea, Jesús, Darlyn and Gara, in the previous meeting on 28/03/19 different terms were clarified.

    On today 12/04/19 we have continued to give ideas and thinking about how this collection system could be. We have accepted and clarified some of those ideas and we have removed others.

    Starting one of the ideas we have obtained has been the basis of where the objects would be collected. That base could be with a grid with circles or rectangles not very large, since we want to clean the beaches and with the big holes we would drop the sand along with the garbage that could be collected. On the sides of this base, the inclined supports are included with an angle of 70 ° or more, so that the residues can not fall on the sides once they are collected.

    The idea would be to place a single ultrasound sensor in the center of the front of the collection system. Then, once, detect the object you want to pick up the prototype to reduce the speed as you get closer to the reader and when you approach the limit of the sensor, the object will be transported to the compartment where all the collected waste is.

    Also, the collection system will include a network on both sides so that the object that is deposited does not leave the collection system. Then when the object that has been deposited to move it, the system will obtain arms with servomotors, which will raise the object until it is deposited in the back of the vehicle.
