[0039] Referring to FIG. 1 is a diagram depicting a MACHINE LEARNING BASED HAND SANITIZER MAKING AND DISPENSING MACHINE whose function is to manufacturing and dispensing the hand sanitizer liquid. The process starts with collecting preparatory liquids from the plurality of containers assembly-101 into homogenizing chamber 102. Containers assembly-101 consists of four containers 101a to 101d contains Ethanol, Hydrogen peroxide, Glycerol, and distilled water respectively. The discharge levels of preparatory liquids depend on set levels by the user in the mobile app 107 or by default Ethanol (v/v96%), Hydrogen peroxide (v/v3%), Glycerol (v/v 98%). Microcontroller 106 acquires the data from mobile app 107 through communication channel 108. Based on the set values microcontroller 106 opens the liquid control valves 104a to 104d. The set values decide the period of liquid control valves 104a to 104d operation. The preparatory liquids aggregated in homogenizing chamber 102. Homogenizing chamber 102 consists of pedal assembly 102b coupled to DC motor 102a. The DC motor rotates the pedal assembly 102b for preparing a homogenous portion of preparatory liquids. After preparation of a homogenous portion, the hand sanitizer liquid stay in the chamber 102 and ready for dispense through dispensing unit 103. The dispensing unit 103 consists of an Electrically Actuated valve 103a, Spray-Nozzle-103b, and Thermal camera-103c. Thermal Camera-103c detects the heat-signature of the Hand and signals the microcontroller 106. Microcontroller 106 executes the relevant machine learning algorithms and determines the hand heat signature and size of a hand and then it sends actuating signals to Electrically-Actuated valve 103a and dispense the liquid through Spray-Nozzle-103b.
[0040] In accordance with a non-limiting exemplary embodiment of the present subject matter, FIG. 2 is a representation of sensor insertion and control unit placement. As depicted in the drawings of FIG 2, the plurality Liquid-level sensors-104 senses the levels in container assembly 101 and homogenizing chamber 102. Liquid-level sensors-104 is a light based sensor and doesn't react or corrode. As per set value, the plurality of the Liquid-flow controllers-105 operates for the set time interval and allows preparatory liquids toe flow throw them. Based on the signal, motor 102b attached to pedal assembly-102a starts the mixing operation. Thermal camera-103c senses the heat signature and sends a signal to microcontroller 106. Microcontroller 106 is ESP32 built microcontrollers with the ability to communicate to any Mobile capable of communicating in any one of the communication media 107. Where in communication media 107 is Long Range (LoRa) WiFi, Radio
Page 7
Frequency (RF) or Low Energy Bluetooth (BLE), and General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and connect.
[0041] Referring to FIG 3 is a flow chart 300 depicting Process for Hand Sanitizer making. The process starts at 301, where microcontroller 106 acquire containers assembly 101 Liquid Levels. The four containers equipped with four Level sensors to ascertain the levels. In the process of making a hand sanitizer, the basic preparatory liquids are four, and the missing of any liquid won't give the desired mixture. Hence if found any empty container, then the microcontroller stops the process, and Lite RED LED. Similarly, in successive step 302, liquids are aggregated in Homogenizing chamber-102 fro which microcontroller acquires the Percentage of Liquids to be dispensed into homogenizing chamber-102 from containers 101 to make aggregator From Blynk App.In step 303, the process of accumulating the preparatory liquids starts, which is as per the user's interest. The amount of individual preparatory liquid to be accumulated depends on the value timing operation. Valve timing detail the amount of liquid discharged, and the microcontroller 106 effectively carries the triggering based on user-set value., Based on the percentages, microcontroller allow liquids flow by opening the valves 104a to 104d for successive time intervals specific to percentages and stop the valves after the successive time interval. In step 304, microcontroller acquires Homogenizing chamber-102 levels and when it is full then stop the valves 104a to 104d and Lite Blue LED, else send ready Signal to Blynk App and Lite Green LED.
[0042] Further, the flow chart 300 continues to step 305, where the homogenizing of the aggregated preparatory liquids starts. Once the Homogenizing chamber-102 fills up, liquid sensor 104e signals the microcontroller 106 to start the homogenizing process. In the Homogenizing chamber-102 pedal assembly, 102a consists of DC motor 102b. Aggregated preparatory liquids mixed at high speeds initially and then stirred continuously for five minutes for making the homogeneous mixture. After this period the step 306 succeeds where all the data from liquid level sensors 104 is gattered by the microprocessor 106 and update the values in the mobile application (Blynk) 107 through communication media 108. Lite Blue LED if Homogenizing chamber-102 is full, and the overall process 300 ends here.
[0043] In accordance with a non-limiting exemplary embodiment of the present subject matter, FIG. 4 is a flow chart 400 depicting the Process for Hand Sanitizer dispensing mechanism unit 103. dispensing mechanism unit 103 consists of an Electrically-Actuated
Page 8 valve 103a, Spray-Nozzle-103b, and Thermal camera-103c. The dispensing process commences from step 401, where the microcontroller 106 senses the Liquid Levels in the homogenizing chamber-102. If it is empty, then Lite RED LED, else send ready Signal to Blynk App and Lite GREEN LED. If lite GREEN LED and once the thermal camera 103c detects the heat signature, it signals the microcontroller 106. The microcontroller 106 runs a relevant machine-learning algorithm to ascertain the hand and size and then it actuates the electrically actuated sprayer valve actuates the Electrically-Actuated valve 103a in strep 402. Succeeding in step 403, Spray-Nozzle-103b works on low pressure sprinkles hand sanitizer precisely on the Hand without wasting the liquid. Step 404 continues until the thermal camera sens the Hand and won't interrupt the sprinkling process. If the Hand is removed, the step 405 commences, and the camera sends the signal to microcontroller 106 to stop the sprayer actuator valve 103a. In this step 406, the microcontroller acquires the liquid levels in all containers and chamber through level sensing sensors 104 and updates the data in Mobile application (Blynk app) 107 through communication media 108 and stops the process 400.
[0044] According to a non-limiting exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG.5 is a flow chart 500 depicting the Process for Regulating the amount of Hand Sanitizer dispensing mechanism. While the thermal camera 103c senses the heat signature in step 501, the magnitude of the heat signature is assessed by microcontroller 106 by executing relevant MLA to identify heat signature levels. In the next step 502, if Thermal camera 103c senses high heat intensity, microcontroller 106 signals electrically actuated valve 103a to open wide to spray high amount of liquid. This step continues till Hand is retrieved. Step 504 succeeds 503 if Thermal camera 103c senses Hand with less heat intensity, microcontroller 106 signals electrically actuated valve 103a to open less comprehensive proportionate to the level of heat intensity for spraying less amount of liquid. If the Hand is removed, the step 505 commences, and the camera sends the signal to microcontroller 106 to stop the sprayer actuator valve 103a.
