Research On Product Design Of Intelligent Pickle Machine Based On User Experience

Pickle culture is an important part of my country's traditional food culture.Sichuan Pickle is one of the representatives of traditional Chinese fermented vegetables.The production and consumption of pickle has a broad mass base in Sichuan.Under the advocacy of healthy lifestyles,pickle is often associated with unhealthy;the low success rate of traditional pickle making makes young people who like pickle discouraged;the cumbersome maintenance process of traditional pickle contradicts fast-paced life.This topic starts from improving the user experience of pickle making,and uses experience design method tools to explore the path and method of traditional artifact redesign.This paper uses literature research to understand the pickle culture,fermentation principle and related technology status,etc.,through questionnaire surveys,user interviews,insights into user needs,combined with user evaluation to complete the design iteration.First of all,the literature research scope includes: Sichuan pickle fermentation principle,pickle production related technology,Sichuan food culture,lifestyle and analysis of competing products.The conclusion shows that there are relatively few researches and practices related to intelligent products made from pickle.With the country's emphasis on "cultural self-confidence",research and practical exploration related to the inheritance of traditional Chinese food culture are developing rapidly.The technical achievements of the pickle industry have solved the technical bottleneck for the production of domestic pickle.It is an intelligent product aimed at the production of Sichuan pickle.There is a large market demand.Secondly,starting from the user experience design,the theory combing and practical exploration of the intelligent pickle machine design are carried out.In terms of user research,this article uses questionnaire surveys and user interviews to investigate and study user-related activities related to eating pickle.Combining relevant theories and methods of user experience design to insight and analysis of user needs.Then,summarize the results of the previous research and list the novice users who like to eat pickle but have no complete pickle making experience as the primary target users.It is proposed that this design practice should meet the five major needs of target users for smart pickle machines,which are: production and use level,psychological level,taste and taste level,styling level and edible level.The five aspects of user needs should be met through the system design of sensory experience to emotional experience.The user's experience needs are divided into two stages: initial experience and continuous experience.In the initial experience stage,explore how to make users a successful production experience;in the continuous experience stage,it mainly focuses on three aspects: daily use experience(behavioral experience),differentiated taste experience and group belonging.Finally,the product prototype design is completed in combination with technical principles and functional requirements,and the above-mentioned user needs and experience path are realized through the following eight points: improve the success rate of making pickle,shorten the production cycle of pickle,provide the best eating time for pickle,and reduce nitrite Improve the quality of pickle and food health and safety,intelligently detect and inhibit the "raw flowers" of pickle,reduce the maintenance frequency of pickle jars,and optimize the product operation process.In summary,through the above-mentioned research,analysis and design practice,a prototype and strategy for the design of smart pickle machine products based on user experience are formed,and how the redesign of traditional utensils from the perspective of experience design can be adapted to the needs of modern people.
