Project Name: Household handheld detector
Cooperation content: design analysis | appearance design | structural design | prototype production | accompanying running assistance
This is the renderings of the two design directions (A and B) of the household handheld detector designed and developed by Suoguo. As a portable device suitable for the daily detection scene of the family, its design revolves around "the convenience of operation for ordinary users and the sense of integration into the family environment", and realizes the accurate adaptation of the household detection scene in the form, function layout and details, it is a design sample of the integration of "functional simplification" and "experience affinity" of civilian testing equipment.
1. Design Analysis: Functional Adaptation Logic for Home Scenarios
The core scenario of the home handheld detector is the daily detection of the family (such as food, water quality, environmental indicators), and the design of the underlying logic to "non-professional users of the use of pain points" as the core:
Simplification of functional modules for household use: both schemes compress "detection core area, interactive display area and operation control area" into a compact handheld form, and adapt to the household minimalist process of "taking out equipment → putting in samples → one-key starting → seeing results"-abandoning the complex parameter settings of professional equipment, so that ordinary household users can operate without training.
Household safety attribute of the material: the combination of "food-grade safe plastic scratch-resistant panel" is adopted, and the food-grade material meets the scene requirements of family detection of "contact with food materials/drinking water" to ensure safe use; The scratch-resistant panel is suitable for the wear-resistant requirements of high-frequency picking and placement of the family. At the same time, the light-colored base (white/gray) conveys the household perception of "clean and harmless" and conforms to the psychological expectation of the family environment.
2. Design Language: Affinity and Simplicity Aesthetics of Household Equipment
The design language of the two schemes is based on the keynote of "affinity and no pressure", and at the same time adapts to different family preferences through detail differentiation:
Commonality: household simplicity: round shape without sharp corners, low saturation color (white/gray/black), weakening the "tool sense" of professional equipment, and avoiding the "technical fear" of family users of testing equipment; Compact hand-held size (one-hand grip) strengthens the household attribute of "readily available" and adapts to the storage space of household countertops and drawers.
Differences: Scenario style breakdown:
Direction A (black and white contrast color): The "black top and white body eye-catching PUSH key" conveys the "intuitive and easy-to-use" style, which is suitable for families with elderly and children-eye-catching keys and clear indicator lights, so that users of different ages can quickly identify the operation logic;
Direction B (white and gray soft): The style of "mild technology" is conveyed by "white and gray gradient blue light hint", which is suitable for families pursuing simple texture-soft color and low-key lighting effect, so that the equipment can be more naturally integrated into the living room, kitchen and other family spaces to avoid abrupt feeling.
3. design details: convenient support for home operation
The detailed design revolves around the "use experience of non-professional users" to accurately solve the operation pain points of the home scene:
The visualisation of interactive details:
Direction A is equipped with "three-color status indicator lights" (power, work and warning), and graphical symbols are used instead of text instructions. Home users can judge the status of the equipment by light color without reading the instructions. The "PUSH" button is marked with gold eye-catching signs to clearly operate and avoid the confusion of "I don't know how to start;
Direction B adopts the design of "blue light at the bottom of the interface protection cover": the interface cover prevents dust and water stains from entering the equipment in the home environment (especially when the drawer is placed for a long time), while the blue light at the bottom indicates the working state with "breathing flashing", which transmits information without dazzling, and is suitable for the weak light environment of the home (such as kitchen detection at night).
Threshold-free operation details: both schemes adopt the logic of "one-button operation"-PUSH key in direction a and hidden key in direction B, which simplify the operation to "click" and avoid multi-key combination of professional equipment; At the same time, the sample tank adopts "anti-stay design" (inferred from the form) and can only be put into common sample containers (such as test tubes and sampling cotton) in one direction, reduce user "misplaced sample" errors.
4. ergonomics: comfortable adaptation of home handheld
The ergonomic design of the two schemes is optimized for the "hand-holding habits of home users" and adapts to different hand shapes and operating postures:
The universality of holding adaptation: the handle area conforms to the natural curve of the palm, the side anti-skid texture in direction A and the round grip feeling in direction B can remain stable during "one-hand holding detection"-even female users with small hand shape can easily hold the device and avoid slipping during detection;
Unburdened operation posture: the key positions are all located in the "thumb natural activity area". when the home user holds the device, the operation can be triggered without adjusting the hand posture, which is suitable for the household scene of "pick it up and use it at will"-for example, when handling food materials in the kitchen, the detection operation can be completed with one hand without extra hand to adjust the posture.
Conclusion: "Threshold-free" sample of household testing equipment
These two Kaichuang household handheld detector designs are typical samples of "household scene adaptation" of civilian testing equipment. It takes the function simplification as the skeleton, which makes it easy for non-professional users to operate. With affinity design language as the texture, the equipment is integrated into the family environment. With detail optimization as the nerve, the actual pain points of household operation are solved. With the blood of human engineering, it adapts to the hand-holding habits of home users.
With the increasing awareness of family health, this design not only allows "home self-detection" to enter the daily life from a professional scene, but also redefines the value of "home detection equipment"-it is no longer a complex technical tool, but It is a "readily available safety assistant" in family life ". This "design logic with non-professional users as the core" also points out the direction for home medical/testing equipment: only by making professional functions "landing" for home experience can we really enter the life of ordinary families.
