Reflection Light Barrier with Delay Schematic Circuit Diagram

This circuit can be used to check, for example, whether the door of a refrigerator has been properly closed. An LED sends out a beam of light, which, if the door is closed, is reflected. An optical sensor (CNY70) then detects the amount of light. If the sensor does not receive the right amount of light, the buzzer will sound after about a minute. When the door is closed (and the CNY70 receives enough light again), the buzzer turns off. The power supply for the circuit requires about 12 mA at 12 V.

Potentiometer P1 adjusts the sensitivity of the sensor. The sensor works reliably from a distance of one centimeter. If the current through the LED is increased, the distance can be increased a little. The delay can be adjusted with C3. C4 provides extra filtering for the reference voltage. The buzzer would otherwise switch on with a ‘chirping’ sound. The well-known NE555 is used to drive the buzzer. The buzzer is driven with a duty cycle of 2:1, which improves audibility.

The CNY70 is a reflective sensor that includes an infrared emitter and phototransistor in a leaded package that blocks visible light. APPLICATIONS: Optoelectronic scanning and switching devices i.e., index sensing, coded disk scanning, etc. (optoelectronic encoder assemblies).

The sensor sends a beam of radiation through the IR transmitter, then measures the intensity of the light reflected through the phototransistor. The output is a voltage signal dependent on the light intensity falling on the detector.
