  • Abstract:
  • Ironing is an essential household task, yet it poses significant safety risks when an iron box is left unattended while powered. According to the National Fire Protection Association (2023), unattended iron boxes contribute to numerous domestic fire incidents annually. This project introduces a novel safety mechanism that integrates an accelerometer and servo motor to detect idle states, automatically raise the iron box, and disconnect power, thereby mitigating risks of burns and fires. The proposed system leverages advancements in sensor technology and automation to ad- dress the limitations of traditional iron boxes, which often lack intelligent safety features. By incorporating precise motion detection and mechanical actuation, the system ensures both power disconnection and physical separation of the iron from the fabric, enhancing user safety.
