    This document proposes designing a general circuit board that can be used in most washing machines in the Palestinian market. It aims to provide an affordable local alternative to expensive, brand-specific boards that currently must be imported. The proposed board will use an Arduino microcontroller and compatible components to control actuators, motors, displays and receive sensor feedback for common washing machine functions like water valves, locking mechanisms, heating and spinning. Schematics and printed circuit board designs are generated and a prototype is constructed to demonstrate the technical feasibility and cost-effectiveness of the general board concept.

    GENERAL BOARD FOR FULL AUTOMATIC WASHING MACHINES

    A SIMPLE DEFINITION OF OUR PROJECT

    • Design general board for full automatic washing machines that is capable of
    dealing with most of the types found in the Palestinian market
    PROJECT IDEA

    • The idea behind our project, that many machines are produced once and
    sold in our market without technical support, so the alternative solution of
    the customer if any fault occurs in the board of washing machine is to buy a
    new board from the global market which is cost and need a lot of time to get
    it in Palestine that is not acceptable, here starts the problem of the local
    market.
    HOW CAN WE MAKE IT GENERAL ??
    • First we should figure out all components in the washing machines and
    know the algorithm and the flow chart of its process
    • Design drive circuit that fit most of types of actuator .
    • Choose a microcontroller capable of handling most of actuators and sensors.
    • Make some code modification to suit the sensor data
    The electrical components in the washing machine
    Actuators in washing machines
    - Water inlet valve

    - Door lock

    - Drain pump
    - TRIAC was used for switching these loads at zero firing angle
    - Opto-Diac for isolation and make firing point more even in both +ve ,-ve AC
    - MOV for protecting TRIAC circuit from any high instant voltages that
    generated from switching on and off inductive loads and also reduce noise
    waves .
    MOTOR

    The board is designed for washing machines that contain universal motor
    SPEED OF THE UNIVERSAL MOTOR

    By zero crossing detector CCT


    The direction of rotation in the universal motor

    Reverse the direction of rotation in the


    universal motor depends on reversing
    the current in the rotor only .
    HEATER
    DISPLAY

    • A liquid crystal display, or LCD with I2C module was used as a display pf this
    project.
    • Need 2 pins in the controller for serial data and serial clock and 2 pins for
    power.
    Inputs in washing machines
    POWER SWITCH ( SELECTOR ) :

    • It is just a selector to select at what program (washing type ) the washing


    machine will work “eg: cotton , sport wear , …. etc”
    PUSH BUTTONS
    4 push buttons were considered as inputs in this project:

    • Play/pause.
    • Temperature adjustment.
    • Rinse adjustment.
    • Spin speed adjustment.
    PRESSURE SENSOR

    • The pressure sensor is a device that detects the level of water that required
    to the clothes that will be washed
    THERMISTOR
    The thermistor (temperature sensor) acts as a feedback unit to the controller to
    obtain the temperature that is reached by the heater
    TACHOMETER

    The speed of the motor will be measured and sent to the controller as a
    feedback by the AC tachometer
    FEED BACK PIN OF THE DOOR LOCK
    THE TYPE OF THE CONTROLLER

    • We found that using Arduino is more cheaper and easier for controlling and
    still effective controller for this process .
    • We chose Arduino UNO.
    • UNO contains 18 I/O pins.
    • 23 I/O pins are needed.
    Expanding I/O pins of the controller

    we used 8-bit Shift Register for expanding output pins of UNo


    Designing all schematics and generating them to
    board files
    FOR BOARD CONNECTED TO DIGITAL PINS
    FOR SECOND BOARD CONNECTED TO DIGITAL PINS
    FOR BOARD CONNECTED TO ANALOG PINS
    FOR PUSH BUTTONS BOARD
    Transform to real boards
    Print CCT’s onto photo paper
    Put the photo paper on copper board under iron
    Removing photo paper
    Putting this copper board under ferric chloride
    acid
    Taking the board and drying it from the acid
    Erasing the protection ink by sharp fiber
    Puncture all pads and vias by a drill and weld all
    components
    The final results
    Programming general algorithm
    ECONOMICAL STUDY

    • The whole project costed 35$ and it will suit most of washing machines.

    • The average price of the manufactured boards sold


    in the market = 90 $ and it suits specific brands only.

    • Which means that it is economically feasible


    and money-saving
