摘要

家用冰箱已經成為家庭生活不可或缺的一個重要家電產品，近年來卻面臨東南亞進口產品競爭對手，採取價格競爭激烈手段，以及日系進口高單價產品來瓜分市場下，國內廠牌無法提升產品銷售量，目前冰箱市場已趨近飽和。若要掌握此消費者需求，除產品之穩定性外，須針對產品之創新功能性進行改善與提升，故本研究採用D.Mann所提出的TRIZ 37項參數演化趨勢工具，以國際牌、日立、歌林、聲寶、台灣三洋、大同為研究對象，進行冰箱功能資料收集，依照消費者主要選購動機「方便」、「空間設計」、「溫度控制」、「外觀」四項分類，將分類結果繪製出演化趨勢雷達圖，瞭解功能演化現狀與極限，以此作為未來產品創新參考。藉由TRIZ 37項參數演化趨勢，應用在冰箱功能面的發展的研究，完成以下初步的貢獻與結論：（1）瞭解到目前冰箱在功能方面演化的現狀，並繪製成演化趨勢雷達圖，成功地提出尚未運用的演化參數，成功完成冰箱新產品構思；（2）目前冰箱功能面上演化極限及潛力，在演化趨勢參數中I25自由度、I30設計方法，具有相當大的演化潛力趨勢，故可透過這幾項演化趨勢構思出差異化商品；（3）本研究發現使用者個人化需求來調整使用冰箱模式，以及冰箱智能化的概念，可作為日後冰箱製造業者創新開發之參考。

Household refrigerators have become an important appliance to family life. In recent years, the domestic brands, facing fierce price competition, are difficult to increase the sales of refrigerator. The refrigerator market is also approaching saturation. To fulfill the needs of consumers, it is necessary to improve and enhance the innovative functionality of the product. Therefore, this study adopts the 37 evolution trends, the TRIZ tool proposed by D. Mann, takes the well-known brands, including Hitachi, Kolin, Panasonic, Sanlux Sanyo and Tatung, as the research objects, and collects the functional data of refrigerators according to the main purchase motivations of consumers. The four key motivations are ＂convenient＂, ＂space design＂, ＂temperature control＂ and ＂appearance＂, used to categorize and demonstrate the results of the evolutionary trends through radar charts, offering an overall understanding of the current status and limits of functional evolutions. With the application of 37 TRIZ evolution trends, some important contributions and conclusions are described as follows:(1)this study helps to understand the current status of functional evolutions of refrigerators, shown in the radar charts, and propose new concepts of innovative product design; (2) the I25 degrees of freedom and I30 design methods are key parameters with considerable potential in the evolution of refrigerator design; (3) the evolution results show that future products will have different usage modes according to individual user's needs and embrace the concept of refrigerator intelligentization.
