# Components / Parts Used
| Sl. No. | Components or Parts Used (Mechanical / Electrical) | Mechanical / Working Principle Identified |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hopper | Acts as the feeding unit. It temporarily stores the grains and releases them gradually onto the conveyor to maintain a controlled flow. |
| 2 | Conveyor Belt | Transports the grains from the feeding section towards the segregation section. The belt moves continuously over rollers and carries the grains at a controlled speed. |
| 3 | DC Gear Motor | Provides rotational motion to the conveyor belt. The gearbox reduces speed and increases torque, allowing the belt to move smoothly while carrying the grains. |
| 4 | Motor Driver | Acts as an interface between the microcontroller and DC motor. It controls the motor according to the signals received from the controller. |
| 5 | ESP32 | Processes the information obtained from the camera and determines whether the material should be accepted or rejected. It sends the required control signal to the segregation mechanism. |
| 6 | Servo Motor | Converts the electrical control signal into controlled angular movement. It operates the segregation mechanism when unwanted material is detected. |
| 7 | Segregation Flap / Gate | Changes the path of the material by moving into a particular position. It diverts rejected material away from the main output path. |
| 8 | Mesh / Sieve | Separates particles mechanically according to size. Smaller particles pass through the mesh openings while larger grains continue along the main path. |
| 9 | Collection Container | Collects the separated materials at the output, keeping accepted grains and rejected materials in their respective sections. |
| 10 | Supporting Frame | Provides structural support and maintains the position and alignment of the mechanical and electrical components. |
| 11 | Power Supply | Provides the required electrical power to the ESP32, camera, motors, motor driver and other electronic components. |
| 12 | Connecting Wires | Establish electrical connections between the different components, allowing power and control signals to flow through the system. |
