Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the man-machine engineering design of food machinery, thereby designing the humanized food machinery, in order to make people feel comfortable and safe in the process of using. It specifically studies the display device design, console design, operating control design and protective device design. The study elaborates that the display device design should be based on human visual characteristic, according to the best observation method to design; the console design should accord to human size parameter and machine mechanics parameter, sufficiently considering the influence of food machinery upon the person, reasonably choosing various parameter and making person easy to operate, not tired and easy to observe process situation, which builds up a kind of best working environment; the operating control design should sufficiently consider the figure, physiology, psychology, physical strength and ability of operator; the protective device design should accord with the dimensional requirement related to the anthropometric parameters. And then the analysis for the humanized design of food machinery is made, based on which the conclusion has been reached.
