- Abstract
Previously, there were physically operated hand dispensers that needed to be contacted every time we needed to apply the sanitizer. Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19, the importance of alcohol-based sanitizers has come up. As there are chances of spreading the viruses through contact surfaces, foot-operated dispensers have been developed to avoid contact between hands and hand dispensers. For the virus-infected people, their body temperatures may be high. Therefore, many organizations have been using infrared guns to record their body temperatures before they start working. To record their temperature, a manual presence is required. To replace these manual operations, an automated hand dispenser can be used. An IoT-based automated... (More)
Previously, there were physically operated hand dispensers that needed to be contacted every time we needed to apply the sanitizer. Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19, the importance of alcohol-based sanitizers has come up. As there are chances of spreading the viruses through contact surfaces, foot-operated dispensers have been developed to avoid contact between hands and hand dispensers. For the virus-infected people, their body temperatures may be high. Therefore, many organizations have been using infrared guns to record their body temperatures before they start working. To record their temperature, a manual presence is required. To replace these manual operations, an automated hand dispenser can be used. An IoT-based automated machine is designed to sanitize the hands with alcohol-based liquid without any contact with the prefilled sanitizer bottle. In connection to that, a temperature sensor is also employed within the dispenser machine to indicate the temperature of the person before they want to sanitize their hands. During the COVID-19 pandemic, most organizations were allowing their clients to work only after checking their body temperature and sanitizing themselves physically. Therefore, to avoid physical contact between the dispenser and people, a device that provides contactless operation has been developed, and further, it does not require any manual presence. While this device uses an ultrasonic sensor along with a temperature sensor to identify the existence of a hand and note the temperature of that hand, a microcontroller is also employed to control the operations. Subsequently, an LCD display is used to indicate the recorded temperature and to pump the alcohol-based sanitizer. A submersible DC motor pump is used, which is operated using a relay from the microcontroller (Granted Patent Ref.: AU 2020102940).
