Research On The Design Of Refrigerators For The Elderly Based On User Experience

At present,developed countries and some developing countries in the world have entered an aging society,and China has not been able to avoid the aging trend,and it is also rapidly deepening the degree of aging.But in these countries,China's aging product development is the slowest,shoddy and even a shortage of the status quo,many aging product gaps still exist.Faced with the special user group of the elderly,it also determines its special needs for product design.Therefore,how to make aging products to truly meet the actual needs of the elderly has become a topic that needs to be solved urgently.Products related to the clothing,food,housing,transportation and use of the elderly will profoundly affect their quality of life and living conditions in their later years.Home appliances in the home environment are an important part of the life of the elderly.As the core of the home appliances,the refrigerator is even more important whether its design can meet the needs of the elderly.However,through research,it is found that looking at the domestic and foreign refrigerator markets,there are still gaps in refrigerators designed for the special group of elderly people,which means that there are very big design opportunities for refrigerators for the elderly.Taking into account the physiology,psychology,behavior,and needs of the elderly user groups,this topic uses user experience theory to guide the innovative design process of elderly refrigerators,and design a refrigerator product that meets the needs of elderly users.The topic first studied the current situation of the domestic and foreign elderly household appliances industry and related products,and demonstrated the role and feasibility of user experience theory in guiding the design of refrigerators for the elderly;secondly,starting from the user experience theory,it studied the basic theories,development,development,basics and elementsof user experience,and analyzed and summarized;then with the elderly group as the core,analyze the characteristics and current situation of the elderly group,investigate the needs of the elderly for refrigerators;then conduct in-depth research and sorting in combination with the needs of the elderly and the design principles of user experience,discuss how to integrate and transform the design principles of refrigerators for the elderly;finally,form the practical results of the refrigerator design for the elderly,and form the research results into text.It is hoped that it can provide a reference case for future refrigerator designers or enterprises.
