With the rapid development of manual tools, many design problems have also emerged. In the field of household hand tools, safety problems often occur due to improper operation. More and more female and young users also use hand tools in their daily lives. At present, the design of hand tools is mainly aimed at male users, and their ergonomic size and appearance design are not friendly to users with less power such as women and teenagers. Existing household hand tools still have the problem of too many types and easy to lose in design. The universal design concept means that the product design and environmental considerations are a creative design concept for all users as far as possible.
This design combines the general design concept to try to simplify the household hand tool set by investigating the frequency of use of various tools in the household hand tool category, and solve the problems of cumbersome types, troublesome storage, and bloated size. The structural improvement design of various types of tools is aimed at women and teenagers who are less powerful users, so that they can achieve the purpose of improving ease of use and safety.

在手动工具迅速发展的同时,许多设计上的问题也随之出现。在家用手动工具领域,经常出现因操作不当而发生安全问题。越来越多女性及青少年用户在生活上也会使用手动工具,而目前手动工具设计主要针对男性用户,其人机尺寸、外观设计等对女性及青少年等力量较小的用户并不友好。现有家用手动工具在设计上还存在种类过于繁多易丢失的问题。通用设计理念是指对于产品的设计和环境的考虑是尽最大可能面向所有的使用者的一种创造设计理念。
本设计结合通用设计理念,尝试通过调查家用手动工具品类中各类工具的使用频率,对家用手动工具套装进行简化,解决种类繁琐、收纳麻烦、体积臃肿的问题。并对各品类工具进行结构改良设计,针对女性及青少年等力气较小用户,使其达到提高易用性、提升安全性的目的。

Traditional hand tools are prone to injury when they are inexperienced, and invalid accessories are cumbersome, and their use experience is not friendly to female users.

传统手动工具在使用经验不足的情况下容易受伤,并且无效的配件繁琐,其使用体验对女性用户并不友好。

By analyzing the appearance and modeling elements of common objects, we can understand:

The styling elements of high-risk items usually include: acute-angled triangles, slender bars and other elements with sharp shapes. Such styling elements are easy to create dangerous styling semantics.
The modeling elements of objects with lower risk are: round, rounded rectangle, ellipse and irregular rounded shape elements. Such styling elements are easy to create a friendly and low-risk styling semantics.

由分析常见物品的外观造型元素可了解到:

危险性较高物品的造型元素通常有:锐角三角形、细长条形等带有尖锐造型的元素。这类造型元素容易营造出具有危险性的造型语义。
危险性较低的物品造型元素有:圆形、圆角矩形、椭圆形及不规则圆角造型元素。这类造型元素容易营造出亲和的、危险性低的造型语义。

The design can be summarized from the following three aspects:
01: 
Consult a large amount of literature, understand the background and current situation of household hand tools, and understand the types and characteristics of existing household hand tools. The safety of household hand tools is analyzed and investigated, and the common points of household hand tools that cause safety problems are summarized, as well as the intuitive feelings of different modeling semantics.
02:
 In the form of questionnaires and user interviews, I learned about the needs of less powerful users such as women and adolescents for household manual tools, such as modeling semantics, usage scenarios, and materials. After analyzing and drawing corresponding conclusions, this conclusion is of great help to the design scheme.
03: 
After completing the design research, design and conceive household hand tools based on general design concepts, aiming to improve safety, ease of use, abandon cumbersome parts with low usage, and abandon the indifference of a single functional realization And the shape and color without emotional expression, reflect the affinity of tools, create an atmosphere of “easy to use”, and reflect the humanized design of household hand tools.

可从以下三个方面来总结此次的设计:

第一:
查阅大量的文献资料,对家用手动工具的背景及现状进行了解,了解了现有家用手动工具的种类以及特点。对家用手动工具的安全性进行了分析调研,总结出了造成安全问题的家用手动工具的共同点,以及不同的造型语义给人的直观感受。

第二:
以用调查问卷及用户访谈的形式,了解到了女性及青少年等力气较小的用户对于家用手动工具的需求,如造型语义方面,使用场景方面,材质方面等,并对得出的数据进行了分析,得出了相应的结论,此结论对设计方案有着很大的帮助。

第三:
在完成了设计调研的情况下,依据通用设计理念对家用手动工具进行设计构思,旨在提高安全性、提高易用性、摒弃繁琐使用率低的部件,摒弃单一功能性实现的冷漠感和毫无情感表现的造型形态与色彩,体现出工具的亲和力,营造一种“轻松使用”的气氛,体现出家用手动工具的人性化设计。
