We must make sure ourselves and our belongings are clean in order to help mitigate the spread of COVID. Especially with more companies, buildings, restaurants, and gyms opening up, its easier for the disease to spread. Especially in gyms, people are constantly sharing lockers with their sweaty belongings and clothes, which can easily spread germs. # SOLUTION OVERVIEW We propose a self cleaning locker. When the locker detects that nothing is in the locker, it will automatically disinfect the inside of the locker using a disinfectant spray, and then and LED display out the outside will display that the locker is clean and ready to use for the next person. # SOLUTION COMPONENTS ## Sanitizing Subsystem We would attach a spray that sprays disinfectant when it senses that the locker is empty. This would be implemented using a pressure sensor to detect if there are things inside the locker. Once there is nothing detected inside the locker, and the locker is closed, then a motor will automatically spray disinfectant throughout the locker. ## LED Display The LED display will be used to show whether or not the disinfecting process was been initiated, will will display either "Clean" or "In Use". This will communicate with our sanitation subsystem using a PCB that communicates throughout our whole locker / project. # CRITERION FOR SUCCESS We want to make sure that when the locker detects that it is empty, it will be able to sanitize the inside of the locker. If there are items within the locker, we don't want our spray to accidentally trigger, making the user's belongings wet / damp. |
