Automatic door

ABSTRACT- As a result of enhanced civilization and modernization, the human nature demands more comfort to his life.
Automated doors have acquired and have become part of one’s life from his office to shopping complex. Automated doors
are quite common and a vast field of research now days. Many attempts are made to decrease the manufacturing cost and
achieve an efficient and inexpensive output. This paper will focus upon giving a brief idea about construction of an
automated door using IR sensors. A small experiment was performed which gave the desired output.

Keywords – IR sensor, Comparator, DC Motor, Motor driver circuit, sliding door.

I. INTRODUCTION
Automatic door is an automated movable barrier installed in the entry of a room or building to restrict access,
provide ease of opening a door or provide visual privacy. This is being achieved by various detection circuits available in the
market. These detection circuits vary from basic sensors like IR sensor, force sensors to complex and expensive vision
circuitry. To this end, we model and design an automatic sliding door with a room light control system to provide the
mentioned needs. This was achieved by considering some factors such as economy, availability of components and research
materials, efficiency, compatibility and portability and also durability in the design process. This system works on the
principle of breaking an infrared beam of light, sensed by a photodiode. It consists of transmitting infrared diodes and
receiving photo-diodes. The system is to detect whether someone is coming in or not. The photodiodes are connected to
comparators, which give a lower output when the beam is broken and high output when transmitting normally. The general
operation of the work and performance is dependent on the presence of an intruder entering through the door and how close
he/she is in closer to the door. The overall work was implemented with a constructed work, tested working and perfectly
functional.

II. COMPONENTS
IR SENSOR- The sensor senses whether receiver of it is receiving light from transmitter or not and feeds the result to the
comparator. If any obstacle comes in between receiver or transmitter then the path of infrared between receiver and
transmitter breaks off. This result of receiver receiving the light or not is sent to the comparator.

COMPARATOR- Comparator compares the analogue inputs from the sensors with a fixed reference voltage. If this voltage
is higher than the reference voltage than comparator outputs a low voltage and if the voltage is lower than the reference
voltage than it outputs a high voltage to the decision making element that is the microcontroller. The IC used of the
comparator is LM358N.

MICROCONTROLLER- Microcontroller is pre-programmed to turn on the motors or supply required current and voltage
to motors only if the condition is fulfilled. Microcontroller check when the output of comparator is low it turns the motor on
as the path between receiver and transmitter is broken due to some obstacle between them. The microcontroller feeds the
output to the motor driver. After providing the output to run motor it must also give some delay that can be the time for the
person to pass through the gate and after the body goes away it should also run motor anticlockwise to close the door.

MOTOR DRIVER- The current supplied by the microcontroller to is not sufficient to drive the motor. Thus motor driver
provides sufficient current to run motor. It can take a maximum current of 600mA per channel which is more than enough to
drive two motors. The IC used for it is L293D.

Voltage Regulator: 7805IC gives the output of 5V from 9V to microcontroller and motor driver.
Thus this way you can have a black line following robot ready to perform tasks.
