1. Selection and usage. The following four methods should be comprehensively applied in the specific selection of materials:
1. Analysis method: deductive reasoning, which is a typical method of design engineering. That is: comprehensive analysis and scientific selection based on the functional objectives of the furniture product and its constraints, as well as the properties of various materials. For example: In addition to surface hardness, almost all other mechanical properties of hard broadleaf solid wood are higher than those of artificial boards, so it is more suitable for support furniture that can withstand dynamic loads. However, the biggest problem of solid wood is swelling and shrinkage, which is suitable for use as linear components. For cabinet furniture, flat components are required, and solid wood will have great hidden dangers. Artificial boards are just more suitable, and cabinet furniture is mainly resistant to the static load, and artificial boards can just meet the usage requirements. If covered with solid wood veneers, the strength can be further increased and the appearance of solid wood can be given.
2. Comprehensive summary: inductive reasoning, based on previous experience. Summarize the existing usage of materials, analyze their rationality and existing problems, and make improvements. Generally speaking, there must be a reason for its existence, especially usage that has passed the test of time, which deserves more attention and should not be easily dismissed.
For example: Why does Ming-style furniture use a large number of linear components? Although there are cultural factors, the fundamental reason is that our ancestors have understood the natural properties of wood through thousands of years of experience and have explored a set of methods to control the dynamic changes of wood due to changes in moisture content. That is, when making furniture with solid wood, there are no more than the following five methods to design intelligently:
1) Try to use linear components. Because the smaller the size in the transverse grain direction, the smaller the absolute value of the wood's swelling and shrinkage.
2) Try to use it for open components. When components with larger dimensions in the transverse grain direction must be used, try to use them in open parts, so that they will not cause catastrophic damage to the structure due to swelling and shrinkage, and they will not be easily visible visually. Such as desktops and so on.
3) The ends should be closed as much as possible. The moisture exchange between the interior of wood and the outside world is mainly carried out through large longitudinal capillaries, such as the vessels of broadleaf wood and the tracheids of coniferous wood.
4) When designing, the connecting parts of components should be kept out of the same plane as much as possible. When it is unavoidable, process notches should be left to eliminate or weaken possible adverse changes visually.
5) When none of the above four measures can be used, use flexible contacts. For example, there should be enough clearance between the core board tenons and the frame tenon grooves in a frame wooden door to buffer the core board when it expands without damaging the frame structure.
Another example: is why furniture of a certain material is constructed in this way rather than in other forms, or why most of a certain type of furniture uses this material. It would help if you analyzed the properties and processing characteristics of the material so that you can take advantage of it. Avoid many detours when designing materials.
3. Analogy, similarity: compare with the material to be replaced. Compare the candidate materials one by one according to the material property indicators required by the target use, maximize their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and see whether the less-than-ideal indicators can be made up for through creative use methods.
For example, thin wood veneer artificial boards can replace wide-width solid wood boards, and various materials can be mixed. Another example: What materials can curved components be made of? Naturally, there are steel pipes, bent wood, etc. to achieve this.
4. Imitation and inspiration: chance, chance, inspiration, object induction, imagination. Designers should keep design awareness in their brains, be good at observing, thinking, and capturing fleeting information elements, and perceive and comprehend all aspects of daily life, work, and entertainment. Sudden inspiration often appears, and even possibly brings about significant changes.
2. Comprehensive considerations
1. Characteristics of the material itself: Each material has its characteristics. These characteristics must be understood during design and used scientifically and rationally. The characteristics of the material include its physical and mechanical indicators, surface properties, processing characteristics, commercial material specifications, etc.
2. The morphological elements of the target design product: For example, linear, planar, and solid furniture products should be made of materials suitable for their properties. Other materials may also be used, but the effect may not be as ideal or economical, etc.
3. Technical structure: Different structures require different materials. For example, for shell furniture, plastic is a suitable material.
4. User characteristics: Different usage occasions and different customer groups often have different requirements for materials. For example, furniture in public places requires the use of damage-resistant materials, and outdoor furniture should consider using materials with good weather resistance; some people like solid wood. Furniture, some people may give priority to panel furniture, etc. for some reason.
Therefore, hotel furniture suppliers need to repeatedly consider the material selection of star hotels
