Д-р Декс е един от най-ценните ни клиенти от дълго време и в миналото сме работили заедно по редица вълнуващи проекти за автоматизация. Отново си партнираме и работим по допълнение към неговата линия устройства „Phantom“, този път Phantom BBQ. Предишни творения на „Phantom“, по които сме работили заедно, включват Фантомна пейка, Фантомски фотьойл и проекти за фантомно стълбище.
All of these creations involve having outdoor furniture and appliances that are able to appear and disappear at the press of a button, giving customers more space in their backyard and saving them the hassle of setting up and putting away all those appliances manually.
The newest automated appliance we've worked together on that continues that tradition is the automated Phantom BBQ. Located on a customer's large backyard deck in Tacoma, WA, together we have been working on installing a BBQ that is able to raise and lower itself from the deck with one push of a button. When Dr. Decks came to us with the idea we knew we wanted to be a part of it and our expert engineer staff began working on a custom control system prototype for the project.
За тази система комбинирахме различни наши контролери и ги поставихме в корпус с размери 30,5 x 30,5 x 10,5 см. Използваме подобни корпуси, за да поместим всички контролни устройства за клиенти, които се нуждаят от персонализирана система за управление. Опциите за управление, които използвахме в тази система, бяха:
- 1x PS-10 захранване
- 1x PA-31 контролна кутия
- 1x PA-35 WiFI контролна кутия
- 1x LC-067 Arduino микроконтролер
- 3 пъти LC-80 МегаМото Плюс
- 1x LC-203 прототип на щит
- 1x LC-202 8-канално реле
- 1x LC-201 4-канално реле
We sent our lead engineer down to the project site to help with the installation process of our prototype system. We used six actuators in conjunction with the custom control system to bring this project to life. The actuators used were four PA-04-40-100s (40 inch stroke, force of 100 lb) with custom hall effect sensors added for lifting the BBQ platform and two PA-17-14-2000s (14 inch stroke, force of 2000 lb) industrial actuators for opening and closing the lift door.
The Задвижващи механизми PA-04 were chosen mainly for their built-in IP-66 rating, making them completely impermeable to dust and able to withstand strong jets of water. This makes them ideal for outdoor use where potentially harmful weather is always a factor. The other actuators, the PA-17 were chosen because they are the strongest actuators we carry in regards to force output, capable of lifting up to 2000 lb, perfect for the large lift door of the deck that needs to be opened and closed for the BBQ platform.
Remember that this Phantom BBQ system is still in the early stages of development and we will work on upgrading the system in the near future. Below we have a video showing off the prototype system in action and we will keep you updated once the project is completed at a later date.
