dc.description.abstract | This study addresses a common issue faced by
households, focusing on the troublesome task of drying
clothes. Unpredictable weather conditions often result in
clothes getting soaked and drenched in rainwater, causing
unpleasant odors. Working families, with their busy
schedules, resort to indoor drying as a solution, unaware that
it can lead to unhygienic conditions and allergies.
Additionally, indoor dryers are costly, and further outdoor
drying requires constant monitoring to check if clothes are
dry, adding to the already overwhelming workload. To
address these challenges, this project proposes an innovative
solution, an Automatic Clothesline Retrieval System that
effectively shelters clothes during rain and provides
convenient drying options. The system incorporates inputs
such as rain presence, light intensity, cloth drying state, and
user feedback, which are processed by an Arduino
microcontroller. In response, a stepper motor, controlled by
a driver circuit, is activated, and the user is notified via a
GSM module about rain events and the drying progress. The
stepper motor's rotational motion drives a gear connected to
a railing, enabling smooth movement of the clothesline slots
between sheltered and outdoor positions. By introducing this
system, households can overcome the challenges of
unpredictable weather and manual monitoring, ensuring
efficient and convenient clothes drying. | en_US |
