Abstract

Handle is used in cabinet furniture frequently, and its comfort plays an important role when use cabinet furniture. At present, ergonomic design of handle lack of relevant standards and normative guidance, so it is necessary to conduct related ergonomic experimental researches. Before executing the ergonomic experiment, it is necessary to design the test sample for ergonomic experiments, including the size of the characteristic dimensions of the experimental sample and the number of samples. The main objective of this study is to obtain the recommend value of experimental sample parameters of the typical handles based on the users’ physiological characteristics and experience evaluation.
