Brief Design Overview for Capstone 1
The team has finalized the 3D model design concept for the autonomous firefighting device. The following figures show the design idea from different perspectives in SolidWorks. Figure 1: 3D model of the Autonomous Firefighting Device The autonomous firefighting device is designed to be mounted on a wall behind a kitchen stove . The device will be equipped with infrared (IR) flame s ensors and a light detection resistor (LDR) to be able to detect a fire within the stove perimeter. Upon detection of fire, the device will expel extinguishing powder from an internal chamber through a nozzle . For the device’s powder d elivery system , it was decided to use an air blo we r that could blow the powder out through the network of plastic tubing to the nozzle . As seen in the figure above , the...
