Abstract

The issues for hygienic of helmet are one of the problems that occur during the long ride for the motorcyclist. Therefore we intend to aid this problem by proposing the automated helmet cleaner prototype that involved several process to maintained the hygiene of inside the helmet. Several discussions with the industries and potential consumers have been done in order to derive the best design for this project. SayapNiaga Bikes based in Kuala Lumpur and Malacca are involved in this project for product consultation and provide an amount of fund for this project development. This prototype is like a normal cleaner which cleans and dries the inside of the helmet, it will use chemical/foam medium to clean the helmet while a blower to dry inside of the helmet. The machine will spread the chemical/foam inside the helmet by using the compressed air through the nozzle. At the same time, a motor below the helmet that connect with the helmet holder will rotate the helmet to make sure the chemical/foam able to spread inside of the helmet. After certain times of helmet rotation, the nozzle will move downward using a servo motor, a steel plate is connected to the servo motor which is hold the nozzle. This downward movement is to spread the medium deeper inside the helmet. The movements of downward nozzle have few steps when it reaches the last movement the blower will turn on. Lastly, the blower will be switched on for a certain period. This project is suggested as an automated helmet dryer which utilize Arduino as a controller and blower as its primary parts.
