Prototipo de Automatización para Lavado de Autos

Abstract

The present document describes the development of an electronic prototype at an automated scale for a car wash by means of a microcontroller, from a lift-type structure that controls the different phases of the process. This one-meter-tall elevator-type structure has six modules; each of the levels has different actuators executed by programmable commands performing the washing processes in each station according to the user's requirements. This structure has two input switches which by means of pulses give the indication to the PIC 18f4550 microcontroller to the type of washing that the user intends to carry out, the actuator systems has five SOLENOID VALVES and two H-BRIDGE which activate all the processes responsible for washing; each level of the elevator has sensors that indicate the position of the car at all times, these represent pulses of input to the microcontroller; It has an elevator with two engines controlled by the micro (the first located in the upper part of the structure responsible for raising and lowering, the second in the input and output tray of the car for each module). After finishing the processes automatically the car is moved to the first level of the elevator "Entrance" to complete the programmed sequence.
