AUTOMATIC DIGITAL DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING SYSTEM

USING RACK AND PINION MECHANISM

SYNOPSIS

The opening a door in places like hotels, Shopping complexes, and offices can be

a tedious task and sometimes requires hiring a person just for the sake of opening door

whenever a person arrives. There is some type to operate a gate such as a sliding on

screw or on rack and pinion, piston operated, rotary. The automatic door openers can

open the door when someone comes near the entrance and close it after sometime.

The objective of this project is to study, analyze, and develop a new mechanism

that is cheap, safe easily available and installation is simple as well. Our system puts

forward an automatic and precise door opening system based on human movement

sensing near the door using rack and pinion.

 WORKING PRINCIPLE

This project proposes a system that allows for automatic door opening solution by
sensing human presence near it. Our system achieves this functionality with the help of
IR sensors and using rack & pinion mechanism. IR stands for infrared sensors .The IR
rays transmitted by the transmitter is then reflected by the human body and this signal is
then processed and door is opened and closed based on this data.
When a living being arrives within the sensor range, it detects its presence and
sends out a command that opens the door. The door then automatically closes after a
specific time delay if there is no further motion near the door

The assembly consists of the following parts:

 Sensors
 Microcontroller
 DC Motor
 Gear
 Sliding Door with Rack Assembly
 Control Circuit

ADVANTAGES

 Fully automatic
 Simple Design
 Effective Cost

APPLICATONS

 Used in Shopping Malls, Hospitals etc.

 This can be used in Industries, Garages & Lifts too.
