Project Name: Product Appearance Design of the Handle System of the Main Machine of the ultrasonic Knife (Scheme B)
Collaboration Scope: Design Analysis | Industrial Design | Structural Design | Prototype Fabrication | Ongoing Support and Guidance
1. Product Overview
This is the appearance design scheme B of the micro (wedu) brand ultrasonic scalpel host handle system, which is built by suogot design (suogot) and is a medical device for high-end surgical scenes. The scheme takes "circular runway" as the core design inspiration and integrates the design language of the automobile industry. While ensuring the professionalism of medical equipment, it creates a product form with a sense of future and science and technology, taking into account brand recognition, operation experience and scene adaptability.
2. Design Language and Design Principles
1. Core Design Language
Circular runway design concept: Inspired by the circular runway shape of the taillight of the car, the operation panel is separated from the main body of the fuselage through the hollowed-out base of "combination of virtual and real" to form a smooth circular visual dynamic line, so that the founder's medical equipment can get rid of the heavy feeling and present a light and dynamic scientific and technological temperament.
Suspended shape: the use of "empty base" design, the operation panel set up, not only through the light and shadow effect to strengthen the product's sense of hierarchy, but also cleverly realize the natural tilt of the screen, no additional structure can optimize the operating perspective.
Design integration of automobile industry: refer to the design language of high-performance automobiles, integrate elements such as rounded curved surfaces, integrated lines, and ambient lights into medical equipment to create high-end and exquisite product texture, which is different from the stereotype of traditional medical equipment.
Color system: silver gray main body black operation panel blue embellishment color scheme, silver gray transmission medical equipment professional, clean, black focus on the operation area, blue as the brand color and interface logo, forming a clear visual hierarchy, futuristic and professional sense of both.
2. Design Principles
Scheme to "science and technology sense medical attribute" dual core design principles:
Function priority: the layout of the operation area is clear, the interface is highly recognizable, and misoperation during surgery is avoided;
Experience upgrade: Optimize ergonomics through modeling to improve the operating comfort of medical staff;
Brand differentiation: with a unique ring runway design, to create a high recognition of the product PI;
Scene adaptation: the shape is simple and has no sanitary dead corners, which is suitable for the disinfection and cleaning requirements of the operating room.
3. Breakdown of Key Design Details
1. Interface and interaction design
Wave-shaped key design: the power key adopts wave-shaped concave shape, which not only improves the touch recognition of the key, but also strengthens the sense of science and technology through the light and shadow effect, so that medical staff can quickly locate the key through the touch and reduce the risk of misoperation.
Water drop interface design: the handle interface adopts water drop shape, which echoes the smooth lines of the circular runway. at the same time, the blue highlight design forms a strong visual distinction in the black panel, avoiding inserting the wrong interface and improving the operation safety.
Design of concave atmosphere lamp: an embedded atmosphere lamp belt is arranged between the base and the panel, which can present a soft lighting effect after starting up, which not only enhances the sense of technology and interaction of the product, but also does not cause light interference to the surgical operation, and at the same time strengthens the visual effect of suspension modeling through light and shadow.
Integrated brand logo: "wedu micro" Logo adopts embedded design, located in the center of the atmosphere light, and completely integrated with the body shape, which not only strengthens the brand vision, but also avoids the clean dead angle caused by the bulge, which meets the health requirements of medical equipment.
2. Modeling and structural details
The virtual and real structure of the circular runway: the front adopts the virtual and real combination design of "real panel empty base", which not only reduces the visual weight of the product, but also forms a unique brand identification symbol, making the product more recognizable in the operating room.
Large rounded integrated curved surface: all edges and corners of the fuselage adopt large rounded transition, and the side surface presents smooth curved surface shape. referring to the design language of the car body, the product's exquisite feeling and high-end feeling are improved, and the scratch risk caused by sharp edges and corners is avoided.
Multi-view modeling consistency: the front view, side view and top view all maintain a unified circular runway design language. No matter from which angle, it can present a coordinated and dynamic visual effect and strengthen the overall sense of the product.
No sanitary dead angle design: the surface of the whole machine is flat and smooth, without complicated protrusions and gaps, and the hollow design of the base is also easy to clean, which fully meets the requirements of high-frequency disinfection and hospital sense control of the operating room.
3. Functional and structural details
The natural tilt of the screen: through the structure of the empty base, the screen forms a tilt angle in line with ergonomics, without the need for an additional shaft structure, which not only simplifies the internal structure, but also improves the reliability of the product.
Interface layout optimization: the power key and the interface are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the screen, the operation logic is clear, the medical staff can quickly identify the functional area, and the operation efficiency is improved.
4. Ergonomic Design Highlights
1. Operational Perspective Optimization
Natural tilt screen: The tilt angle of the screen realized by the suspension base is fully in line with the sight height of the medical staff when standing, without lowering their heads or raising their heads, and it is not easy to fatigue during long-term surgical operations, thus greatly improving the operating comfort.
Front operation layout: all operation buttons, interfaces and screens are concentrated in the front operation area, and medical staff can complete all operations without sideways or bending down, which is in line with the operation habits of the operating room.
2. Enhanced Operability
High recognition interaction: keys and interfaces are distinguished by modeling and color, so that even in the tense environment of surgery, the operation can be completed quickly and accurately, reducing the risk of misoperation.
Tactility optimization design: concave keys and drop-shaped interface allow medical staff to quickly locate by touch, and can complete the operation even without looking at the screen, thus improving the operation efficiency.
3. Scenario adaptation optimization
Clean and friendly design: the whole machine has no complex structure and no sanitary dead angle, which is convenient for high-frequency disinfection and cleaning of the operating room and avoids bacterial breeding.
Heat dissipation optimization: The hollow design of the base can assist the heat dissipation of the equipment. At the same time, the smooth curved surface on the side of the fuselage also optimizes the air circulation to ensure the stable operation of the equipment for a long time.
