Rice Cooker Design Based On Emotional Research

The high-tech era,making products become more abundant,more diverse functions,people's demand for products is also rising,pointed out that Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory,human needs are divided into five types: the demand of physiological needs,security needs,social needs,esteem needs and self realization.The emotional aesthetic demand is a kind of self realization needs,which requires to give the product a higher emotional value,emotional design has become the development trend of today's product design.In this paper,the development of modern small household electrical appliances market as the background,through the understanding of domestic and international research status and development trend of rice cooker,the emotional value of product design and analysis.First of all,we investigate the users,find out the existing problems,sum up the emotional needs of the users,and establish the user emotional needs model.Secondly,this paper summarizes the factors affecting the design of rice cooker,including form design elements,material design elements,perceptual design elements and innovative design elements.This paper puts forward the design method of the rice cooker emotional design,the main design methods are interactive design method,ecological design method and sensory experience design method.Finally,with the guidance of the emotional design concept,the design and innovation of the rice cooker is improved from the selection of the internal and external materials and the design of the overall shape of the rice cooker.The goal of this paper is through the analysis of emotional design of electric cooker is summarized,put forward design elements and design methods,so that we can communicate with each other between the user and the product,the formation of an ecosystem,to better improve the quality of life of the user.
