The design project started during the tenure of the design company in 2018 is as good as ever in the control and implementation of the design, ensuring the perfect landing of the product.

Product definition is an excellent entry point. At that time, moxibustion products on the market were divided into two minutes. One was an open fire moxibustion box, which was a very common kind of burning and throwing it into the box. It was time and quantity and tasted great. The other is a product that relies on heating and baking wormwood slices. The effect is not as good as open flame. The advantage is smokeless, which is a bit of IQ tax. The definition given by Beixie is that open fire moxibustion is intelligently controlled and smokeless, which ensures the effect of moxibustion and solves some pain points in the process of use. And to do automatic ignition and automatic extinguishing, although I don't know how to achieve such a magical function, in fact it has not been achieved, but it is still a very good point.

Some problems have been found in the design process. For example, how to fix it on the body (involving some movable joint parts), how to replace the filter screen, natural bamboo materials have certain risks in high temperature environment, the convenience of using combustion bin, the risk of air outlet clogging by clothes, the design of wormwood, the unity of family language, etc.

On the issue of fixation, most of the competing products are fixed by two ears and then wearing an elastic band. However, it is actually unreliable when some joint parts and physical activities are carried out. Therefore, a fixed soft pillow is made under the suggestion of the director (there is also the problem of how the product is fixed with the soft pillow...). The soft pillow can be well fixed with the body to ensure the stability of the product during use.
On the issue of replacing the filter screen, the original design was to make a three-stage module, and the control module, the filter screen module and the combustion module were separated separately. After using it for a period of time, I know how dirty the filter screen will be. Believe me, you don't want to dig it out by hand, but also dump the burning wormwood ashes. The advantage of the module is that it is convenient to replace, the filter in the middle is thrown away when it is used up, and the combustion module is also convenient to clean. However, after some evaluation and struggle, the design of this module was not realized, but the original three-stage design was still retained in the final appearance.
In the choice of wormwood, I actually made a small idea. At first, I made it into a spherical ball. My idea at that time was to make it into a non-universal wormwood ball with the products on the market. After all, it is a consumable material. If it is universal, others can find another alternative. Another is to strengthen the identification. The common fault of designers always wants to do something different. In the end, it was not realized due to production problems and insufficient combustion efficiency.

Design is the process of finding and solving new problems. At that time, the director was a very strict person in product control, so he had very close communication with the customer in every evaluation link after the design was completed, and learned a lot from him and the customer in the process.
