1. Fully familiar with the characteristics and performance of furniture materials, as well as the technical requirements of raw materials for various components.
For example, solid wood has the advantages of beautiful texture, warm touch, temperature adjustment and humidity adjustment, large weight ratio, and easy processing. However, wood is a kind of temperature absorbing material, and shrinkage and swell are an inherent defect of wood. characteristic. The exchange rate of water molecules in the wood and the water in the surrounding air is different, which causes changes in the size and shape of the wood. Drying of wood can only alleviate the problem of expansion and contraction of wood, and it cannot fundamentally solve the problem of dimensional stability of wood. Moreover, the degree of shrinkage and swelling of the wood itself is different in three directions, in which the chord direction (parallel to the annual ring) changes the most, the radial direction (parallel to the wood ray) is small, and the axial direction (parallel to the wood pulp) changes slightly, thereby causing The deformation of the cross section of the sawn timber itself. For this reason, according to the shrinkage of the sawn timber at each part, the use of solid wood or other materials is fully considered in the structural design. This is especially important for furniture used in wet indoor spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms, etc.
MDF has a uniform internal structure and is a uniform porous material. The board surface is smooth and easy to be veneered; the board edge is compact, easy to process, can be directly painted, and can also be milled and engraved, suitable for making load-bearing parts such as side panels and table legs. Because of its good acoustic performance, it can also be used as a speaker, TV casing, musical instrument, etc. The particle board is cheap and has a very small surface expansion coefficient, which is processed into a large-format non-load-bearing component core layer as needed. The biggest feature of blockboard is that it has good stability in all aspects of the plate, strong nail holding power, and the water absorption thickness expansion rate is much smaller than that of MDF and particle board, so it is suitable for panels and door fans. The double-clad structure of the hollow plate is light and material-saving, has good dimensional stability and has a certain strength, and is a good way for the waste utilization of furniture manufacturers. However, when designing the core, it is necessary to consider placing the wooden strip in the processed hole, and considering the symmetry of the core. In addition, if the production process is not properly mastered, the sheet is prone to "sliding gear" when pressurized, and is not suitable for the upper roller coating line.
Second, we must establish a reasonable standard for furniture selection
According to the characteristics of the materials, the quality level and the requirements of the materials for each part of the furniture, a reasonable and comprehensive selection criteria can be made, and the production, cost estimation and pricing are also convenient. It is not possible to bring all kinds of materials to their own places, give full play to their excellent characteristics, and effectively reduce costs. A company can be based on the market positioning of its own products, combined with the actual situation of the company, led by the technical department, quality, materials, production departments to complete. After formulating the material selection criteria, we can reasonably select materials based on this benchmark, so as to rationally adjust the material inventory and reasonable pricing.
Third, the designer should learn more about the production process and achieve the perfect combination of craft and art.
At present, the design work of many furniture manufacturers is undertaken by the professionals of the art profession. The design of the furniture is very novel, but the process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the mass production quality is difficult to guarantee, or even can not be processed, or does not meet the mechanical balance. I have seen a shoe cabinet. When the empty shoe cabinet door is opened, the cabinet is tilted forward. The reason is that the density of the door leaf material is too large and the layout of the cabinet feet is unreasonable. In addition, because the design of the under-floor support is unreasonable, the TV cabinet is placed on the back of the TV set and the door is closed. Or the door material is not properly selected. After the hinge is installed, it will not take long for the hinge screw to loosen. The door is always active, so the door panel requires that the material has a large holding force to secure the hinge.
In short, the type, structure, performance and grade of furniture materials directly affect the quality, grade, process and price of furniture. When designing a piece of furniture, designers should pay full attention to the rational selection of materials and optimize the configuration. The author makes a superficial discussion on this issue, hoping to attract the attention of the industry, in order to play a role in attracting jade.
