IMPLEMENTATION OF A SMART FLASK USING INDUCTION
HEATING AND ARDUINO MICROCONTROLLER
Introduction
Heating technology has made a long journey from firewood to electric heating using conduction
and now the latest and most efficient manner of induction heating. But with fast moving time,
comes the need to improve and devise new technologies. Today, in order to consume a hot
liquid, we either have to carry it in a thermos, buy a hot liquid fresh or have access to a heating
source. The drawbacks with the above solutions are: A thermos can hold liquids hot for a very
limited time, after which the liquid losses its heat and obtains room temperature. Buying a hot
liquid fresh is not always a practical idea given the fact the increase in cost, availability of
establishments to buy the hot liquid and availability of the hot liquid itself. Having access to a
heating source, is not always possible and therefore cannot be relied upon for a permanent
solution.
System Architecture
Hardware
Arduino Uno
Arduino UNO is a micro-controller board based on the AT-mega328P. It has 14 digital
input/output pins, 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz ceramic resonator, a USB connection, a power jack,
an ICSP header, and a reset button. The arduino board contains all the components needed to run
the microcontroller. It can be connected using a USB to power it on. The pin configuration of
Arduino UNO is given in fig 2. We have used Arduino UNO to power the LCD display, take
input from the user and to control the heating circuit [3].
LCD Display
This is a basic 16 character by 2 line alphanumeric display. Black text on Green background.
Utilizes the extremely common HD44780 parallel interface chipset. Interface code is freely
available. You will need Minimum 6 general I/O pins to interface to this LCD screen. Includes
LED backlight. Works in 4bit and 8 bit Mode. The pin diagram of the LCD display is shown in
fig 3. In our project we have used the LCD display to show the temperature read by the
DS18B20 temperature sensor as well as the temperature input given by the user.
DS18B20 Temperature Sensor
The DS18B20 is a 1-wire programmable Temperature sensor from maxim integrated. It is widely
used to measure temperature in hard environments like in chemical solutions, mines or soil etc.
The constriction of the sensor is rugged and also can be purchased with a waterproof option
making the mounting process easy. It can measure a wide range of temperature from - 55°C to
+125° with a decent accuracy of ±5°C. Each sensor has a unique address and requires only one
pin of the MCU to transfer data so it a very good choice for measuring temperature at multiple
points without compromising much of your digital pins on the micro-controller. The sensor has a
query time of less than 750 ms and can be operated using a 3.0V to 5.5V power/data. In our
project we have used this sensor to continuously monitor the temperature of the liquid inside the
Smart flask.
BD139 Transistor
It is a Medium Power NPN Transistor with a collector current of 1.5A this transistor can be used
to control (On/Off) bigger loads that consume less than 1.5A. In our project we have used this
transistor to control the relay switch that controls the heating circuit.
Goodsky rw-sh-112d Relay
This relay is an electric circuit which controls the heating circuit based on the readings of the
temperature circuit by opening and closing contacts in these circuits.
Resonating LC circuit
We have used an inductor and capacitor to make Resonating tank circuit to oscillate the circuit at
its resonant frequency.
Potentiometer
We have used a potentiometer to control the brightness of the LCD display.
LED
The led has been used to indicate the switching on and off of the heating circuit, additionally it
has also been used the switch being pressed by the user.
Software
Arduino UNO uses the firmware Atmega8U2. The updates versions of the arduino UNO uses the
Atmega16U2 version of the firmware. We program the arduino using arduino IDE. In order to
run the arduino efficiently for our project, we needed to download additional libraries
Libraries
We had to download additional libraries in order to run the hardware from the arduino UNO. The
following libraries were downloaded:
Dallas Temperature Control Library
This library is used with the DS18B20, a very small thermometer which is easily used with an
arduino on any digital pin. This library is a refactor version of the original library, making it
easier to use the thermometer. Making it easy and simple to use, with the limitation that, the
look-up table may get complex for some associated function.
One Wire Library
The one wire network communicates with a slave device over a single data line, which also
doubles up as to provide power to the slave devices. These libraries were designed to optimize
the read and write capability to the slave devices.
Design and Constructions
Our main circuit consists of an arduino, inverter/oscillator circuit, relay switching, LCD display,
button inputs and heating coil. The basic connections are as follows.
 The Heating coil is connected to the inverter circuit.
 Inverter circuit is connected to 7V power supply.
 Relay is connected to the inverter circuit, power supply and arduino.
 Arduino is connected to LCD display, temperature sensor and button inputs sections
Circuit Diagram
Implementation
The arduino UNO is provided power using a USB cable, giving a 5V power supply. The heating
circuit is given a 7V 1A power supply. Once the arduino is switched on. The first thing the
arduino does is read the temperature of the liquid. The temperature of the liquid read is compared
to the temperature input by the user. The temperature input of the user can be changed anytime
during the operation of the circuit. Once the comparison of the temperature is carried out two
operation of the circuit will take place.
Input temperature is greater than the liquid temperature
When the temperature of the liquid is less than the temperature input given by the user, the
temperature of the liquid will have to be brought up to the input by the user. The arduino sends a
signal to a transistor that is connected to the relay. The transistor switches the relay, this activates
the heating circuit. The heating circuit is left on for the duration it takes to bring up the
temperature of the liquid to the input by the user. During this time the temperature of the liquid is
checked constantly against the user input with the help of the arduino.
Input temperature is less than the liquid temperature
When the temperature of the liquid is more than the temperature input given by the user, the
liquid is left idle, so that by heat loss, the temperature of the liquid drops to the input given by
the user. Therefore, the relay is left in its default position with the heating circuit turned off. The
arduino in the background, displays the current temperature of the liquid and the user input,
giving the user a feedback on the working of the circuit. The constant switching of the arduino
between the two modes, leads to the liquid being constant at the temperature input given by the
user.
Conclusion
In this paper induction heating of liquid with a rechargeable battery source was implemented.
Beginning with the description of the complete system hardware and software used and further
on explaining the working of the model. The proposed system fulfilled the requirements and
displayed the results. In this process we also achieved our goal in a cheap and effective manner.
Introduction of induction heating using a very small power source have improved the current
technological enhancements in this field. For further enhancement, the user input can be taken
from a mobile device, connected over Wi-Fi to the smart flask.
