Research On The Form Feature Of Seated Toilet Base On The Consumer’s Imagery

After20years of effort development, the domestic ceramic bathroom accessoryhas made a great breakthrough from previous single line to the diversification now,from the traditional bathroom accessory product to intelligent bathroom accessory.With manufacturing enterprises emerge from dozens to hundreds, our country hasbecome the world’s largest producer of sanitary ware. But we must see that thebathroom accessory in China market still exist great drawbacks: except a fewenterprise with complete, professional, independent research and developmentinstitutions, product research and development in most of the enterprise is still in theprimary stage. In recent years, sanitary products develop rapidly, the new productemerge in endlessly,but the product that can lead the trend of sanitary market is notmuch. Classic product is also rare. It is a common phenomenon that imitation orcopy among ceramic products, plumbing hardware and intelligent product of eachenterprise and brand.So,there is relatively serious homogeneity. These enterpriseseldom design their products from the point of view of the user or enterprise itself.Itis a very serious problem to Chinese enterprises who want to create their own brand inChina and the world market.This study is based on perceptual engineering theory andit discussed the relationship between its exterior modelling and the perceptualimagery, and the different design principles for different imagery of product, hopingproviding reference for the design in domestic bathroom accessory.This research is mainly based on a questionnaire survey and statistics methods.First this paper discusses Seated toilet imagery the people have,through factoranalysis we divide these imagerys into groups, determine the representative of theseimagery.Then according to bathroom accessory modelling and aesthetic theory, thispaper discusses the key points of the design of Seated toilet and the main modellingdesign elements that influence people. By virtue of qualitative and quantitativeranalyses describing method, we build shape elements form.Then through theperceptual image tests and using the linear multivariate regression analysis weestablish corresponding relationship between the imagery vocabulary and modellingelements and put forward different suggestions of sensibility qualitative modelingdesign. According to the conclusion we build a Seated toilet model.then by means ofthe statistics of different user’ feedback, we take a design verification. The resultsshow that the imagery of Seated toiletp people have consists of8groups of representative vocabulary.We adjust some design elements to increase or decreasesome of these perceptual cognition. The design elements that Influence people ‘spsychological feeling to Seated toilet are: the color of seated toilets, the at warp ofseated toilets, the side segmentation of Seated toilet, the front shape of Seated toilet,the front shape of water tank etc.
