Coin-Based Power Control System

This document describes a coin-operated prepaid power system project. The system uses a light sensor to detect coins, a microcontroller to count coins and control power to a load, and a 7-segment display to show the coin count. When the coin count reaches zero, the relay disconnects power to the load. Potential applications include use in hotels, game consoles, and public services. The system provides a cost-effective way to control power consumption based on payment.

Put the coin and draw the power

Title of the Project: put coin draw power Working Principle: Microcontroller based

Group members: Manohar.D.R -1SI11EC407 [Link]-1Si11EC410 Shridhara.K.S-1SI11EC420 Arjun.A.D-1SI10EC012

Features:
1) This system uses a sensor for detecting the coin or token. 2) Microcontroller counts the number of coins/token and shows the count on a seven segment display. 3) When load switch is closed the relay connects the load and the coin count on display, starts decrementing. 4) When the count decrement to zero the relay de-energies to disconnects the load. 5) Easy to Install. 6) Cost Effective. 7) Any metal token can be used.

ABSTRACT

In guest house, lodges, hotels and rest houses the power consumption is not measurable by the customer and the owner. So that it is important to control the consumption of power proportional to the payment otherwise the owner pays the higher bills and faces the loss in running the hotel. In this project we develop the prepaid system for power consumption by using some simple discreet components and microcontroller programmed for desired output.

SYNOPSES

The system makes use of a LDR and a light source for detecting the token/coin, coin interrupt the beam of light for a second to generate a pulse which is detected by the IC NE556 (dual timer) at the pin number 6 and feed to the microcontroller which displays the number of counts in the form of pulses by using seven segment decoding IC CD4577 in digit form. When we close the load switch it trigger the transistor at load side and operate the relay and supply the power to the room at the same time the number of counts starts decreasing and when reached to zero to disconnect the power supply. So this is the cheapest and the best system.

BLOCK DIAGRAM:

Block diagram of put the coin and draw the power

Coin sensor and dual timer: It consists of constant light source with LDR (light dependent resistor) whenever a coin is dropped light intensity falling on LDR changes ,resistance changes it alters the pulse width of the timer . Micro controller: It is the heart of circuit. It accepts the input from timer this is processed and control signal is generated so as to trigger the relay, manage coin count 7-segment decoder: It accepts the BCD input from the micro controller and decodes it to show on the 7-segment display. Relay: It is used to connect and disconnect the load from the circuit depending on received control signals

COMPONETS REQUIRED:
Dual Timer IC, Seven Segment Decoder IC, Microcontroller, Regulator IC, Transistors, Diodes, Relays, Resistors, Seven Segment Display, LEDs, LDR.

APPLICATIONS:
1) Use in Hotels, Lodges, Guest House, Rest House. 2) Use in Game Consoles. 3) Public Services such as cyber caf, music stations, automatic mobile charging points.

SCOPE FOR ADVANCEMENT:


* Using pre-paid card in place of token/coin to make more advanced system.
