The sterilizer is an important tool for maintaining the cleanliness of goods. This sterilizer is based on Arduino, UV-C LED and trash can. The purpose of this product is to sterilize items using a UV lamp in a closed place. This tool works by detecting an object with a distance of about 30 cm using an Ultrasonic proximity sensor, from detection. The sensor sends a signal to the Arduino which instructs the servo to activate until the cover can be opened. Then the user puts the item into the sterilizer (the cover remains open for a predetermined time, then closes automatically). After closing, Arduino turns on the UV-C LED, at that time the sterilization starts after the sterilization has finished, the cover will be opened and the user can take the sterilized item, after that the can will close by itself. Ergonomically, this sterilizer is safe to use because sterilization is carried out in a closed room and the UV-C LED does not cause irritation to the skin. This innovation is a solution to prevent the spread of germs, keep items clean from bacteria and safe to use.
