Introduction
A healthy home is an overall home environment that meets the requirements of physical, psychological, and social health and comfort, including furniture, furniture and other household products, lighting environment, thermal environment, sound environment, odor environment and other related physical environment systems, as well as other related auxiliary support systems. A healthy home must not only meet the basic product performance quality and safety and environmental protection requirements, but also meet the ergonomic requirements of convenient operation, comfortable use and good experience. With the development of my country's economy and scientific and technological progress, in addition to the quality performance and safety and environmental protection of the product itself, people have put forward higher requirements for the humanization and user experience level of the product. Ergonomics aims to design and improve the product and environment system according to the physiological and psychological characteristics of people, achieve the best match between the human-product-environment system, and ultimately achieve the humanization of the product and environment system, creating safe, healthy, comfortable and efficient working and living conditions for people. Products that meet the requirements of ergonomics can effectively improve the comfort and use quality of the product and improve the user experience level. Therefore, in addition to meeting the basic performance quality and environmental safety standards of the product, the ergonomic requirements that reflect the humanized design and user experience of the product have also become a necessary indicator for judging healthy homes. The human spine is a very long structure composed of bones and cartilage discs, with joints, muscles and ligaments attached to the bones to form a whole. Common sitting postures are accompanied by back bending and shoulder sagging, which will bring uneven pressure to the spine. Over time, it will cause wear of the intervertebral discs, overuse of certain ligaments and joints, and muscle strain injuries (in order to adjust the position of the back bending). Poor sitting postures will also compress the chest cavity, making the lungs expand less space, resulting in limited oxygen penetration into the blood. Bones are surrounded by muscles, nerves, arteries and veins, which constitute the soft tissue layer of the body. Sitting postures with a high degree of compression cause damage to these fragile tissues. In the most severely squeezed areas, nerves, arteries and veins are blocked, nerve signal transmission is blocked, causing numbness, and reduced blood flow through the limbs causes swelling. It can be seen that a good sitting posture is of great significance in alleviating and improving the adverse effects of long-term sitting work on people. As one of the furniture that is most closely in contact with people during sitting work, office desks and chairs are closely related to people's physiological and psychological characteristics and behavioral habits, and directly affect people's sitting posture and health and comfort. Studies have found that the lumbar support of office chairs, the seat surface of office chairs, and the leg space of desks have become the number one killer affecting people's sitting health. Office desks and chairs that are not designed according to people's physiological and psychological characteristics and usage scenarios can easily cause limb numbness, back pain, periarthritis of the shoulder, dizziness, buttocks discomfort, etc., and even cause cumulative injuries to the cervical spine and lumbar spine, affecting health and work efficiency. Ergonomic methods are very effective in reducing bad sitting postures. Good ergonomic design of office desks and chairs is particularly important, especially functional structure and size and shape. Therefore, it is necessary to stipulate the humanized design requirements and evaluation methods of office desks and chairs that conform to the physiological and psychological characteristics of the human body according to the principles of human ergonomics, so as to meet the safety, health, comfort and efficiency needs of sitting workers. 1 Scope
