Redefining the functional modules, structural layout, and styling of the condensate pump, breaking away from the traditional "tank-style" industrial tool aesthetics, adopting a modern and minimalist design to enhance the sense of quality. Introducing the minimalist design philosophy to simplify the structure and enhance ease of cleaning, removing unnecessary decorations. Through in-depth research on user behavior, product usage scenarios, and experiential factors, identifying user needs and pain points, designing with the user at the center to create tangible value. Introducing new features such as a level indicator, plug-and-play power signal socket, tool-free quick-release top cover, one-click quick-disconnect water pipe joint, and a loss-preventing silicone water inlet plug. These innovations in structural design are relatively groundbreaking in similar products. Regarding coating and printing, the product complies with safety standards, undergoes relevant testing, and is subjected to simulated user scenarios to optimize the design. Adopting a BLDC motor, incorporating damping structures to achieve low noise levels, avoiding interference with consumers due to product noise. The quick-release structure of the water outlet allows users to connect easily. The new disassembly structure of the water tank abandons the technique of forcing parts to deform. Placing the filtering device inside the water tank ensures that even if the filter is not effectively cleaned, any overflow remains within the tank, enhancing product safety. Considering human body dimensions in the design of the entire machine and accessories to enhance the user experience. Using insights from psychology research to optimize each operational step, from setting goals, planning, implementation to feedback.
