Abstract:

The major problem associated with the conventional cradle used by our society is that, it is very difficult to swing the carriage resulting in sleepless nights for parents. Besides, observation of baby movement is also difficult with this approach. So B-care comes as a solution for this problem. B-Care is a novel concept, which enables the movements of a carriage, to raise the cradle, to move the machine from one place to another, automatic movement of cradle when baby is disturbed and much more.In our concept, mechanical links are provided for moving the carriage through bearings by using a dc 12V, 17 W motor. The equipment B-care includes a dc motor, link, and an oscillating bed and sensors. The electric powered motor will actuate the links by shaft. Links actuates the rod attached to the bed at constant speed. The carriage is attached to the metal rod through springs which will provide a vibratory motion. It will also ensure the cradle motion even when the baby cries or moves using sensors. Motor, link and sensors are attached to the side of the cradle frame. High strength, light weight material is used for the manufacturing of B-care. B-care is the most cost effective, user friendly, automated mechanism for baby care in the modern nuclear family.
