HYBRID CONVEYOR

WITH OBJECT SENSOR

Introduction
A belt conveyor consists of two or more pulleys,

with a continuous loop of material. The conveyor belt - that rotates about them. One or both of the pulleys are powered, moving the belt and the material on the belt forward. The powered pulley is called the drive pulley while the unpowered pulley is called the idler. The belt consists of one or more layers of material they can be made out of rubber or some other material since jute also has a high strength of bearing load, so we have used jute as a material of the belt.

Principle
Belt conveyor is the component not only for supporting goods, but also for transmitting traction force. Belt conveyor is smoothly driven by the force of friction between conveying belt and pulley. The conveying belt passes around driven pulley and take-up pulley, and is supported on many idlers, While operating, driven pulley is driven by motor through reduction device to rotate, and the conveying belt moves depending on the force of friction between driving pulley and conveying belt. In this way, goods are delivered to unloading points.

Description of Our

Conveyor
Our project is a hybrid conveyor in which the following components are used.
Solar Panel Geared Motor- 60 rpm Proximity detector with timer Conveyor belt made of jute materials. Battery

Description of Our Conveyor

The project works both on electricity as well as on

solar energy. In this conveyor we have used a sensor which would detect the object. As soon as we will keep the object on the conveyor belt, the sensor will detect the object & will start to move. A timer is also used in our project. The function of the timer is to stop the conveyor as soon as the object falls from the belt into the container. The time would be set accordingly in the proximity detector circuit. We have used a switch through which the conveyor belt can be moved in both directions according to the

Working
The working of the project starts start with firstly

the object is to be kept on the belt. The sensor will sense the object and it will start moving. The power for the moving of the belt is provided by the 60 rpm geared motor, which is connected by the motor pulley to a roller pulley through the Z- belt which is made of the Nylon material. In case we have to run the conveyor through the solar energy and not through electricity. Then the solar panel will be connected to a battery which would provide power and then the conveyor will a get started. In the industry if there is power cut off sometime,

Solar energy Stored in Battery

Battery will provide power to motor

Motor will rotate the Pulley of roller with the help of belt
Pulley will rotate the roller The belt will move on both rollers

Applications
Belt conveyors are the most commonly used bulk

handling conveyors in history due to their reliability, versatility, and range of capacities. Conveyor belts are used in a wide variety of material transport applications such as manufacturing, food processing, and heavy industry To transfer heavy weights easily. Highly useful in assembly industries.

Advantages
Noise reduction. Simple structure, easy maintenance, energy-saving and

low cost. It has object sensing, so it saves electricity. Its a two way Conveyor. There is no loss in production at the time of power lose. Electricity is saved by using solar panels. It will stop automatically when there is no object on it.
