Baby Incubator

Description:
Incubators are attracting interest from the medical profession. They are glass and metal cases heated to certain Humidity, into which enough air is admitted to maintain life. Until such time as infant is strong enough for Humidity of room.
In baby incubator Humidity control is very important. And therefore we are controlling the Humidity according to our requirements. Humidity controller can be done by using Electronic circuit, Microprocessor & microcontroller.
Now microcontroller is advanced among all above circuits therefore we are using Microcontroller for Humidity controlling of baby incubator

Baby Incubator

Description in detail:
It mainly consist of following blocks
Micro-controller board: It is a low-power, high-performance CMOS 8-bit microcomputer with 4K bytes of Flash Programmable and Erasable Read Only Memory PEROM). The device is manufactured using Atmel s high-density nonvolatile memory technology and is compatible with the MCS-51. Instruction set and pin out. The on chip Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed in-system or by a conventional nonvolatile memory programmer. By combining a versatile 8-bit CPU with Flash on a monolithic chip, it provides a highly flexible and cost effective solution so many embedded control applications.
Humidity Sensor Block: The Humidity sensed by using Humidity Sensor. The output voltage of Humidity Sensor varies in liner proportion with the Humidity.
ADC Block: ADC means analog to digital converter. The output of signal conditioning is in the analog form. But Microprocessor requires input in digital form for this purpose we have to use ADC.
Amplifier Block: Output signal from micro-controller 89C51 is weak so we have to amplify that signal. Amplifier block amplifies the signal for driving the final control element i.e. output device. For amplification Transistor BC 547 is used.
Output Block: In this project we are using FAN and Soldering Gun as output device. If Humidity is below set point then Soldering gun is ON and Humidity will start to increase and when Humidity is above set point then Fan is ON so that Humidity will start to decrease
Display Block: In this project we are using 16 X 2 intelligent LCD display to display the college name, Humidity set point and very important is Humidity of baby incubator.

Application and Advantage:
1) This project can be used in Hospitals.

Future Development:
1) We can monitor more parameters like oxygen level and at the same time control them
2) We can send this data to a remote location using mobile or internet
3) We can draw graphs of variations in these parameters using computer
