Mobile Phone & Cash UV Sterilizer For COVID: Here Are Proofs of The Concept

The document describes a mobile phone and cash sterilizer box that uses UV-C light to deactivate viruses like COVID-19. The sterilizer provides 360-degree sterilization of objects in less than a minute using proven UV-C technology. It features an automatic timer, safety shutoff if opened early, and sterilizes items like phones, cash, and masks without chemicals. The low-cost device is powered by a microcontroller and aims to help stop the spread of viruses by safely sterilizing commonly exchanged items.

Mobile Phone & Cash UV Sterilizer for COVID

Covid19 took humankind by surprise in 2020. Due to its fast and efficiently spreading
nature, we were forced to use face masks and gloves to protect from everything we touch.
Now SARS-COV-2 is just one of the viruses in Coronavirus family, there are many more
viruses in this family that haven’t jumped to humans yet. This pandemic has just given us an
indication to be prepared for these types of pandemics.

Well we can use masks to protect us outside but what about the things we bring home from
market or things we exchange with other people. For example: We cannot apply sanitizers
on cell phones, cash or paperwork paperwork that doctors exchange with patients or
employees exchange with each other.

Also sanitizer usage involves use of chemicals that are harmful to us and the environment as
well as it involves recurring cost of buying sanitizers.

Well we solve this huge problem with a smart electronics system powered by a
microcontroller. We design a compact 360 degree disinfection box using ultraviolet
sterilization to solve the issue. The system makes use of uv c tubes to achieve this task. Now
UV C has been proven to kill all viruses within a matter of seconds.

Here are proofs of the concept

The COVID Cellphone and cash Disinfection box has the following Key Aspects

 360 Degree Disinfection


 Proven to Deactivate all CoronaViruses
 Automatic Timer based Shutoff and Alerting
 Can Sterilize Mask, Packed Food, Electronics etc
 Variable Sterilization Timer Setting
 Automatic Safety Shutoff
 Easy To Use
 No Water No Chemicals | Environment Friendly

The Atmega controller takes user input for time setting and starts sterilization when start
button is pressed. It automatically shuts off when the sterilization time is completed. Also an
automatic shutoff system shuts off the sterilization if lid is opened by user between ongoing
sterilization.

The system consists of an LCD display with push buttons to operate this machine. The push
buttons are used to set the duration of sterilization. After setting the Atmega controller
checks if the lid is closed through proximity sensors. After detecting closed lid the controller
activates UV tubes for the set duration time to ensure proper sterilization. Once sterilization
is complete the controller deactivates the UV tubes and sounds a buzzer to indicate process
completion.

Since direct exposure to UV can be harmful the controller also automatically shuts off the
UV tubes if the user opens up the box during ongoing sterilization process. This ensures a
water and chemical free sterilization process that can help stop the spread of COVID 19.
