Thoughts on dynamic design of office furniture
hits:892Abstract: in twenty-first Century, advanced communication and information technology, network technology, digital technology is changing people's working environment, the diversity of office furniture, personalized features more and more obvious. Based on the analysis of the demand for the development of office furniture dynamic, and dynamic design in office furniture applications, described the dynamic design of office furniture is to meet the modern office needs to inevitable channel of humanization, diversification, intelligent.
Key words: office furniture, dynamic design, humanization, diversification
"Dynamic" is relative to the static state, the products from static to dynamic is one of the important optimization objectives of product development research. The dynamic design of industrial design is in a certain environment of the human needs, the change of the mechanical structure of the relationship, so that the dynamic performance of the design to meet the needs of people.
1 the demand analysis of the dynamic design of office furniture
1.1 needs of human computer relations
According to the market investigation and analysis, long-term working at his desk in 90% of the people had the muscle strain of neck, shoulder, this is because caused by long time unreasonable relationship between human and the machine. The common market of the desk and the chair surface height difference to 300mm for reasonable height, but the actual needs of specific men and women differ in height, often appear break the reasonable limit of the high, and to work in a dynamic posture, and easy on the human body damage. Currently in the market there are many types of telescopic chairs, but it is only able to adjust the height, the number of regulation is the most reasonable demand for this worker, this problem has not been resolved. Therefore, the reasonable dynamic design of tables and chairs, to adapt to the change of people's posture, is still in the design of office furniture should be in-depth solution to the problem.
1.2 office automation needs
Modern office space, a worktable, chair, partition, file ark, data frame, a large number of books and documents, and computer, fax machine, projectors, printers, shredders, etc. office equipment. Thus the role of office furniture is not only to create a reasonable office space, but also should be in the structure to adapt to office equipment, improve the space application. Through a reasonable proportion of the size of the planning, design can adjust the furniture space is an important way to adapt to office automation.
1.3 demand for leisure and office integration.
In the composition and function of modern office furniture, there are obvious similarities: to provide office, communication, space for rest; focus on expanding human space. Some large companies set leisure area, provide to employees to rest, activity, or small meeting, but many office buildings because of the limitations can not provide this kind of activity space, so leisure and office integration design just to make up the psychological needs of this. The same furniture to achieve office and leisure function conversion, is bound to rely on the dynamic design of the furniture structure, through the adjustment of furniture structure, combination, movement to achieve conversion.
1.4 demand for intelligent development
The rapid development of modern information technology is changing people's working environment, an electric chair, intelligent massage chair, adjusting the sensor tables, and so on, all kinds of intelligent office furniture products continues to introduce new, it is stepping into the modern office. People want to see: he walked to the front of file cabinet, voice control office desks and chairs, automatic adjustment of the storage cabinet, and so on, these intelligent office furniture also rely and dynamic mechanical design research and development.
From the above can be seen to make office furniture "moving" up, is to meet the needs of modern office, towards the human, diversified and intelligent development of the inevitable road.
Two
2.1 folding
Folding is for better expansion. In the office furniture, folding office furniture has space saving, easy to move the function. Common to the two forms: one is the folding, the use of planar linkage mechanism, and then by the use of external force to achieve folding, movement direction up and down space movement and the left and right horizontal movement of two kinds. Such as folding tables, folding chairs, folding sofa, etc.. One kind is overlapping, one kind of arrangement, the use of the object is to accommodate each other relations, with hidden. Invisible cabinet.
2.2 combination type
A combination is a design method that combines several parts or components into a whole. Office furniture usually adopts a modular combination of the way to the standardization of interfaces or connectors to connect a variety of modules, a variety of forms of furniture. The utility model has the advantages of simple design, high flexibility and various functions, and is suitable for various office space. Figure 1: multi functional combination of furniture.
2.3 regulating type
In order to meet the needs of different users, the study of human body proportion and posture change, the design of the structure, the size and angle of the furniture to meet the needs of different users. Adjustment methods are: screw fixed position adjustment, screw type adjustment, pneumatic rod type regulation, hydraulic regulation, electric regulation and so on. Such as lift chair.
2.4 rotary type
Rotary office furniture is mainly in the bottom of the furniture to add a pulley or bearing structure to achieve movement. For example: revolving chair, computer desk, file cabinet, etc..
2.5 sliding mode
The sliding type office furniture is mainly installed in the moving surface and the fixed surface of the furniture sliding device to generate movement, the common device has a pulley type and ball type, applied to the needs of the activities of the furniture. Such as drawer, door and so on.
3 application principles of the dynamic design of office furniture
3.1 humanized design
In office furniture design, people-oriented is an important premise and dynamic design of furniture must be established on the basis of full understanding and Research on the human body structure, scale, sense of movement, the body and psychological characteristics of, in order to obtain a correct conclusion man-machine relationship, design and match the needs of dynamic model, so as to improve the coordination between the furniture and people, alleviate the human nervous state, improve work efficiency.
3.2 structural design and functional requirements
Dynamic design is through the change of the structure of the connection to achieve the variability of furniture, only the structure and function in line with the needs of dynamic. Office furniture design should fully consider the dynamic trajectory of the movement, the spatial variation, as well as the shape change and other factors, under the limited conditions for rational design.
3.3 to adapt to the office environment layout
The layout of the office environment is different due to the different needs of different industries. Banking, insurance, government affairs service center office staff, the relative concentration of, the office furniture is open arrangement; firm, consultation and the nature of the work is relatively independent and private companies, office environment for independent unit type, cut off high; public relations, planning, media and other interactive industry, strong maneuverability, office environment in the public space, office space strong individuality and so on. Office furniture design should be based on the dynamic proportion of different spatial layout design, can not because of the dynamic needs of the overall order to destroy the environment.
3.4 security principle.
Dynamic is more dangerous than static, office furniture and people for a long time in close contact, security is particularly important. Dynamic design must follow the process of office furniture in the use and not in the process of human physiology and psychology are harmless to this safety principle.
4 Conclusion
Everyone in the office environment may be different, but spacious and comfortable, reasonable and orderly work space is the common desire of the target, the dynamic design of office furniture is improve the narrow, adjust order feasible means. It will be a way to change people's lives by changing the structure of furniture, creating a dynamic, meeting the needs of workers and creating a more reasonable and healthy working environment.
