Research On The Design Of Intelligent Bathtub Based On Emotional Theor

The bathtub is experiencing the era of intelligent home furnishing and aging population,and it has developed to the degree of intelligent functions,such as constant temperature bath,one-button massage,etc.On the market,the internal door sitting bath type intelligent bathtub developed for elderly users is equipped with electronic control panel,massage and other functions can be controlled by buttons,which has a certain intelligent experience.However,in the related bath interaction,The emotional experience of users is not systematic and continuous enough,and there is room for improvement.This project combines the emotional three-level theory and Kansei engineering theory to study the elderly users,explore the general bathing needs and emotional needs of users,summarize the emotional design principles,processes and ideas of the elderly smart bathtub,and design a smart bathtub for the elderly that meets the needs of users and the current market demand.Effectively solve the elderly users into the bath difficult,easy to slip,hard to wipe back,difficult to put things,easy to catch cold and smart bathtub difficult to operate,so that the elderly in the bath to get a sense of security,convenience,comfortable feeling and happiness.Firstly,the thesis researches related theories of emotionalization and summarizes the main theories and methods of emotionalization three-level and Kansei engineering,as well as the application paths of the two theories in the design of intelligent bathtub.Secondly,user research is carried out.The three-level theory and Kansei engineering theory are combined to guide questionnaire design and survey results analysis.Besides,the general characteristics and bathing behaviors of users are studied,and the general needs and emotional needs of users are summarized.Thirdly,it summarizes the emotional design process and principles of intelligent bathtub combined with the design research of intelligent bathtub,analyzes the emotional design of each product element of intelligent bathtub,and summarizes the application of emotional theory in the design of each product element.Finally,according to the classification and priority of user needs,combined with the application of emotionalization theory in the design of bathtub product elements,design practice and design evaluation are carried out.Due to the time background,technical limitations,limited user research data samples,research depth and the author’s own research level,the emotional design method and examples of intelligent bathtub for the elderly presented in this study are only for the reference of later relevant researchers.
