本研究探討國外翻模之咬嘴是否符合台灣人的嘴型。台灣的結構已從製造代工的OEM提升至設計代工ODM,隨著科技越來越進步,產品的發展也必需更符合人性,潛水活動主要分為深潛及浮潛,而深潛也稱作水肺潛水,主要配備有高壓空氣桶、一級頭(壓力調節器)以及二級頭(呼吸調節器)。台灣的水上休閒活動因為政府的政策推動以及民間水上協會的推廣,使得潛水活動越來越普遍,深潛的玩家也逐年增加。 目前市售二級頭(呼吸調節器)上的咬嘴舒適度,在設計上欠缺一種能夠做為改良依據理論基礎,本研究針對較少被關注之潛水呼吸調節器咬嘴進行改良,目前市售之咬嘴皆以國外版型進行翻製,尺寸並不符合東方人的嘴型,本研究改良設計透過深度訪談潛水教練及專業牙科醫師,依據他們豐富的經驗法則與醫師齒顎矯正的專業,蒐集所得資訊加以統整,並將資訊數據化後進行設計實作並驗證成果。
In this study, it is investigating if the mouthpiece of foreign turning model tallying with Taiwanese mouth. The structure of Taiwan has upgraded from OEM to ODM, as technology advances more and more, the development of the product must also be more in line with human nature. Diving activities are divided into deep diving and skin diving, and deep diving, also known as scuba-diving, mainly equipped with high-pressure air barrels, first stage (pressure regulator ) and second stage (breathing regulator ). Water recreation activities in Taiwan have been promoted by the government policy and the water association of civil society, making diving more and more common, diving players also increased year by year. Currently, the comfort of mouthpiece of second stage (breathing regulator ) on the market lacked a theoretical foundation that could be the basis of improvement. The study is aimed at the improvement of diving breathing regulator which is less concerned. On the current market, the mouthpiece was made according to foreign type, its size does not tally with oriental mouth. The study improved the design by visiting and discussing with diving instructors and professional dentist, according to their experience and professional, collected information to integration and do the design after digitizing the information, finally validate the result.
