The Research On Ergonomics In Kitchen System Design

The research of operating function is a part of ergonomics, including the dimension of human body, human body movement, human's physical strength, the strength of gravity and so on. The generic size which is determined through the experiment is used to guide the design of furniture. Residential kitchen is the humanity lives in a domain important link, has the typical nature in the ergonomics. Kitchen is relative small in space, but the request is clear about the function. In kitchen there has more furniture and equipments. Human frequently work in the kitchen, and the duration is long. Therefore, we should more carefully analysis the dimension of human body, the operation rule of the work in kitchen and the basic space. To determine the spatial criterion of the kitchen, the criterion of the furniture and the equipment and the size while installing, is to achieve the goal that when operating, human will feel convenient, effective and comfortable.Based on this foundation, the paper fused the ergonomics and the kitchen design, elaborated and studied how correlated the ergonomics is in the design of the kitchen, including the environment of the operating in kitchen, the spatial design of the kitchen, as well as the design of the kitchen cabinet and so on various aspects. The viewpoint that the design must humanist has achieved a broad consensus in the design sector. In the new kitchen concept, the kitchen is not merely the place where to cook food, but also should be the place of the entertainment, leisure, friends gather, the communication emotion family. Therefore, when design the kitchen cabinet, we should consider the reasonable work flow and the ergonomics, the reasonable work flow may make you feel good and maintain the mood, the comfortable size of the ergonomics make you feel full of human warmth, and operates is also handy.In the paper, I also introduced the influence to the designs of the kitchen cabinet in the different diet culture. Contrasting China with the West, I more detailed introduced the differently place in the design of the kitchen cabinet in the six big diets cultures area in our country. According to the western environmental psychology and China traditional theory, the paper narrated the operator's psychological influence which produce by the different operating environment and the positions of the facilities with various functions in the kitchen. The paper advocated the ecology design of the kitchen (green design), the intellectualization design of the kitchen, the human nature design of the kitchen cabinet, And considered the tendency of the aging of the population, as well as to concern the disabled persons; In addition to the introduction of the housing kitchen, the paper also has involved the restaurant, the hotel as well as the countryside housing kitchen.The paper is based on practical investigation (market investigation and study, plant practice, visit displays, cooking actual operation and so on), used systematic research theory to the design of the kitchen system, taken humanist by coordination, and it is the synthetic research of the physical environment, the physiological environment and the psychological environment about humanist.
