Automated Bottle-Drink Packaging Mechanism (ABd-PM): Using the Bidirectional Shift Register Mechanism was Envisaged
Main Article Content
Abstract
The control bidirectional shift register bottle packaging mechanism system at the initial process is static, such that the operational signals remain ignited. In this way, the system fails to respond to the mechanism and the bottles to be filled-in with drink remain static. It is in view of this that the automated bottle and drink packaging mechanism, in this study abbreviated as Abd-PM was envisaged. The Abd-PM operational mechanism is composed of the four-tier combinational logic gates. The first layer of this mechanism has the four(4) set of D-Flip-Flops, second is a four(4) set of multiplexer (MUX), third a two(2) set of demultiplexer (DMX); and fourth is a partial register Decoders-basic binary function, which utilizes the two (2) AND gates and one (1) OR gate. The ABd-PM architecture has the following major components: conveyor part; swinging bottle lifter; try rotator; electrical motors and various specialized sensors. In addition, the ABd-PM has an automated mechanism which indicates the accomplishment of a task at particular stages such as: liquid filling-in; label fixing; lead-fixing and to further packaging processes.
