A Design on the Auto showering system of Bed type

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Objective: The aim of this study is to design an auto showering system of bed type for old people or bedridden patients. Background: A Rapid growth of older population leads to an increase in the elderly bedridden patients living in senior care centers and hospitals where caregivers have trouble bathing older people with limited ability. So, we need apparatus to help their shower. Method: In this study, based on Anthropometric and researching existing products of showering equipment for experiment was made. And its nozzle position is variable. The nozzle position was optimized by showering test and simulation using showering equipment. Results: The problems of existing product were analyzed and the nozzle position was optimized through showering test. The number, position, spraying angle of nozzle were optimized through showering simulation. The automatic showering system of bed type was designed by considering their results. Conclusion: The most important design element of showering system is the determining position of nozzle and angle of water injection, number of nozzle. It was developed by applying its results through user centered-research. Application: The user centered-research of developing products was able to apply directly to develop automatic bath, showering products etc. Furthermore it was available to apply senior friendly products.
