Description

本発明は、容器本体を把持して持ち上げ、続いて容器本体を傾ける一連の動作(以下、注ぎ出し動作ともいう)を伴う容器全般について、この動作時に消費者にかかる負担の度合いを定量的に評価し、消費者の主観としてどの程度の負担と感じるかを推測する技術及びその技術を利用した容器本体の製造方法に関する。   The present invention quantitatively determines the degree of burden on consumers during this operation for all containers that involve a series of operations (hereinafter also referred to as pouring operations) for grasping and lifting the container body and subsequently tilting the container body. The present invention relates to a technique for evaluating and estimating how much a consumer feels as a subjectivity and a method for manufacturing a container body using the technique.

従来、容器を評価する方法は官能評価であり、数多くの被験者が開発した試作品と従来品とについて、注ぎ出し動作をしてもらい、その使用感を5段階乃至7段階で点数付けして、それらを集計して相対的に評価していた。   Conventionally, the method of evaluating the container is sensory evaluation, and the prototype and the conventional product developed by many subjects are poured out, and the feeling of use is scored in 5 to 7 stages. They were aggregated and evaluated relatively.

ところで、容器の開栓性について骨格筋の筋電位を測定し、容器開栓動作における負担を評価する技術の開示がある(例えば特許文献1を参照。)。特許文献1の技術に拠れば、容器の開栓性について客観的かつ定量的に評価することができるとしている。   By the way, there is a disclosure of a technique for measuring a myoelectric potential of a skeletal muscle with respect to a container opening performance and evaluating a burden in a container opening operation (see, for example, Patent Document 1). According to the technique of Patent Document 1, the openability of a container can be objectively and quantitatively evaluated.

その他同様に、筋負担を測定する技術の開示がある(例えば特許文献2〜4を参照。)。   Similarly, there is a disclosure of a technique for measuring muscle strain (see, for example, Patent Documents 2 to 4).

特開2009‐56040号公報JP 2009-56040 A 特開2004‐275214号公報JP 2004-275214 A 特開2006‐75200号公報JP 2006-75200 A 特開2004‐344356号公報JP 2004-344356 A

特許文献1に開示された容器の開栓性を評価する方法によれば、開栓性について客観的かつ定量的に評価することができるものの、近年普及が著しいペットボトルの注ぎ易さについては評価できない。ペットボトルは様々な機能設計を重視したものが増加しているが、一方でユーザビリティに関する不満もある。例えば、容器がやわらかく、持つときに落としそうになる、くぼみや指に引っ掛る箇所がないと持ちにくい、片手では持ちにくく、こぼしやすいなどである。特に、1.5リットルから2リットルサイズの大型ペットボトルの場合が顕著である。   According to the method for evaluating the openability of a container disclosed in Patent Document 1, although the openability can be objectively and quantitatively evaluated, the ease of pouring of PET bottles, which have been widely used in recent years, is evaluated. Can not. The number of plastic bottles that emphasizes various functional designs is increasing, but there are also complaints about usability. For example, the container is soft and is likely to be dropped when it is held, it is difficult to hold without a dent or a part that gets caught on a finger, it is difficult to hold with one hand, and it is easy to spill. In particular, the case of a large PET bottle of 1.5 to 2 liter size is remarkable.

しかし、ペットボトルの注ぎ易さについて官能評価を行うとすると、数多くの被験者を集めて評価しなければならず、時間と労力がかかる。したがって、開発途中の段階においては官能評価に時間がかかりすぎるため、試作のたびに行うことは難しい。また、官能評価であると、客観的かつ定量的な結果が得られにくい。   However, if sensory evaluation is performed on the ease of pouring of PET bottles, many subjects must be collected and evaluated, which takes time and effort. Therefore, sensory evaluation takes too much time during the development stage, so it is difficult to carry out each trial production. Moreover, in the case of sensory evaluation, it is difficult to obtain an objective and quantitative result.

注ぎ出し動作における「やりやすさ」は容器把持部の形状・寸法(以下、設計要素という)によって変わるが、従来のインタビュー、アンケート調査方法では、どの設計要素がどの程度悪いのかが明らかにならない。そのため、容器の形状改良の方向性も明確になりにくい。   The “easy to do” in the pouring operation varies depending on the shape and dimensions (hereinafter referred to as design elements) of the container gripping part, but it is not clear which design element is bad by the conventional interview and questionnaire survey methods. Therefore, it is difficult to clarify the direction of improving the shape of the container.

そこで本発明の目的は、容器本体を持ち上げ、続いて容器本体を傾ける一連の注ぎ出し動作における身体負担を客観的かつ定量的に評価することを可能とすることである。これによって、開発品を消費者が実際にどのように主観的に評価するか推定することを可能とすることである。   Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to objectively and quantitatively evaluate the physical burden in a series of pouring operations in which the container body is lifted and then the container body is tilted. This makes it possible to estimate how the consumer actually evaluates the developed product subjectively.

本発明者らは、注ぎ出し動作を伴う容器を対象として、当該動作のときに働く動作筋を特定し、この動作筋の筋電位を利用して、容器注ぎ出し動作の負担の評価方法を確立した。すなわち、本発明に係る容器注ぎ出し動作の負担推定方法は、容器本体の胴部を把持して持ち上げ、続いて容器本体を傾ける一連の注ぎ出し動作がなされたときの負担感に関係する動作筋の最大随意当尺性収縮時の筋電位情報を取得する工程と、前記注ぎ出し動作がなされたときの前記動作筋の筋電位情報を取得する工程と、数1で表される最大筋力比を算出する工程と、を有し、前記最大筋力比の値に基づいて注ぎ出し動作における負担を定量評価することを特徴とする。
(数1)最大筋力比=注ぎ出し動作に伴う筋電位/最大随意当尺性収縮時の筋電位
The present inventors have identified a working muscle that works during the operation of a container with a pouring operation, and established a method for evaluating the burden of the container pouring operation using the myoelectric potential of the working muscle. did. That is, the method for estimating the load of the container pouring operation according to the present invention is an operation line related to a sense of burden when a series of pouring operations are performed by grasping and lifting the trunk of the container body and subsequently tilting the container body. A step of acquiring myoelectric potential information at the time of the maximum voluntary isometric contraction, a step of acquiring myoelectric potential information of the operating muscle when the pouring operation is performed, and a maximum muscle strength ratio represented by Formula 1 And calculating a burden in the pouring operation based on the value of the maximum muscle strength ratio.
(Equation 1) Maximum muscle strength ratio = Myoelectric potential during pouring / Maximum voluntary isometric contraction

本発明に係る容器注ぎ出し動作の負担推定方法では、前記動作筋の筋電位情報は、前記容器本体の胴部を把持して持ち上げたときの筋電位情報と前記容器本体を傾けたときの筋電位情報とに分けて入手することが好ましい。注ぎ出し動作における負担感を各動作ごとに解析することができる。   In the container pouring operation load estimation method according to the present invention, the myoelectric potential information of the operating muscles includes the myoelectric potential information when gripping and lifting the torso of the container body and the muscles when the container body is tilted. It is preferable to obtain it separately from potential information. The burden feeling in the pouring operation can be analyzed for each operation.

本発明に係る容器注ぎ出し動作の負担推定方法では、前記負担感に関係する動作筋は、持ち上げ動作の評価をするための動作筋として第1背側骨間筋、長母指外転筋、総指伸筋及び橈側手根伸筋から選択される少なくともいずれか一種を含み、かつ、容器本体を傾ける動作の評価をするための動作筋として第1背側骨間筋又は総指伸筋のいずれか一種及び浅指屈筋を含むことが好ましい。必要最小限の動作筋を選択し、簡易に評価することができる。   In the container pouring operation load estimation method according to the present invention, the operation muscle related to the sense of burden is a first dorsal interosseous muscle, a long thumb abductor muscle as an operation muscle for evaluating the lifting operation, The first dorsal interosseous muscle or the total finger extensor muscle includes at least one kind selected from the total finger extensor and the lateral carpal extensor, and is used as an action muscle for evaluating the action of tilting the container body. It is preferable to include any one kind and superficial flexor muscle. It is possible to select the minimum necessary muscles and evaluate them easily.

本発明に係る容器注ぎ出し動作の負担推定方法では、前記負担感に関係する動作筋は、第1背側骨間筋、長母指外転筋、総指伸筋、橈側手根伸筋及び浅指屈筋を含むことが好ましい。注ぎ出し動作に関係する動作筋の情報を得て、詳細な評価・解析を行うことができる。   In the container pouring operation load estimation method according to the present invention, the operation muscles related to the sense of burden are the first dorsal interosseous muscle, the long thumb abductor, the total finger extensor, the heel side carpal extensor, and It is preferable to include a superficial digit flexor. Detailed evaluation and analysis can be performed by obtaining information on the motion lines related to the pouring operation.

本発明に係る容器本体の製造方法は、本発明に係る容器注ぎ出し動作の負担推定方法によって得られた、注ぎ出し動作における最大筋力比が0.5以下を満たすように容器本体の胴部形状を決定したことを特徴とする。本発明に係る容器注ぎ出し動作の負担推定方法によって得られた評価結果を用いて、注ぎ出しやすい容器本体を製造することができる。   The container body manufacturing method according to the present invention is obtained by the container pouring operation load estimation method according to the present invention, and the body shape of the container body so that the maximum muscle strength ratio in the pouring operation satisfies 0.5 or less. It is characterized by having decided. By using the evaluation result obtained by the method for estimating the load of the container pouring operation according to the present invention, it is possible to manufacture a container body that is easy to pour out.

本発明によれば、注ぎ出し動作における身体負担を客観的かつ定量的に評価することができる。これによって、開発品を消費者が実際にどのように主観的に評価するか推定することを可能とすることである。このとき、官能評価のように数多くの被験者を集める必要がなく、身体的特徴(男女、手の大きさなど)の異なる特定の数名の被験者を集めた計測結果からでも十分に一連の注ぎ出し動作における身体負担を客観的かつ定量的に評価することができる。また、手間のかかる官能評価を行わずに済むので、評価に要する時間を短縮することができる。さらに、被験者母集団の境界に位置するような人、例えば母集団の中で手の大きな人、小さな人、握力の大きい人、小さい人などを選定し、これらの人のデータを取ることで、最も母集団に適した容器を推定することができる。さらに、負担の大きな筋が明らかとなるため、その負担を発生させている設計要素を特定することが容易となり、形状改良の方向性を論理的に明確にすることができる。   According to the present invention, it is possible to objectively and quantitatively evaluate the physical burden in the pouring operation. This makes it possible to estimate how the consumer actually evaluates the developed product subjectively. At this time, there is no need to collect a large number of subjects as in the sensory evaluation, and a series of sufficient pours can be obtained even from the measurement results of a specific number of subjects with different physical characteristics (man and woman, hand size, etc.). It is possible to objectively and quantitatively evaluate the physical burden in motion. In addition, since time-consuming sensory evaluation is not required, the time required for evaluation can be shortened. In addition, by selecting people who are located at the boundary of the subject population, such as people with large hands, small people, people with large grip strength, small people, etc. in the population, taking data of these people, The container most suitable for the population can be estimated. Furthermore, since a large line of burden is clarified, it becomes easy to specify a design element causing the burden, and the direction of shape improvement can be clarified logically.

以下本発明について実施形態を示して詳細に説明するが本発明はこれらの記載に限定して解釈されない。本発明の効果を奏する限り、実施形態は種々の変形をしてもよい。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to embodiments, but the present invention is not construed as being limited to these descriptions. As long as the effect of the present invention is exhibited, the embodiment may be variously modified.

(動作筋の特定)
まず、測定対象は2リットルポリエチレンテレフタレート製容器(ペットボトル)の本体を準備した。次に、20代の男女11名に動作の指示をせずに自由にコップに注いでもらい、現れる動作を観察した。注ぎ出す動作を上肢の各関節の動きで見ると次のとおりであった。
(1)把持する。つまり、母指の屈曲、内転及び第2〜5指の屈曲の動きである。
(2)持ち上げる。つまり、肘関節の屈曲、手関節の橈屈、伸展の動きである。
(3)コップに注ぐ。この動作は、図1に示すようにタイプ1〜4の4種類の動作に分けられた。
(Identification of movement muscle)
First, the measurement object prepared the main body of the container (pet bottle) made from 2 liter polyethylene terephthalate. Next, 11 men and women in their 20s were asked to pour them freely into the cup without instructing them to observe them. It was as follows when the pouring operation was seen by the movement of each joint of the upper limb.
(1) Hold. That is, the movement of bending of the thumb, adduction, and bending of the second to fifth fingers.
(2) Lift up. That is, elbow joint flexion, wrist joint flexion, extension movement.
(3) Pour into a cup. This operation was divided into four types of operations of types 1 to 4 as shown in FIG.

前記(1)〜(3)の動作の中で働く動作筋のうち、筋電図を計測可能な筋を選定した。結果を表1に示した。手及び腕の骨格筋としては、図2(出典:森, 小川他,金原監修:分担解剖学1 総説・骨学・人体学・筋学,金原出版株式会社,1982)に示した筋がある。   The muscle which can measure an electromyogram was selected among the action | operation muscles which work in the operation | movement of said (1)-(3). The results are shown in Table 1. As the skeletal muscles of the hands and arms, there are the muscles shown in Fig. 2 (Source: Mori, Ogawa et al., Supervised by Kanbara: Shared Anatomy 1 Review / Boneology / Humanology / Mythology, Kanehara Publishing Co., Ltd., 1982) .

筋電図は筋電位の経過時間を横軸とし、筋電位を縦軸とするグラフである。筋肉は脳からの指令によって収縮を行うが、この指令は電気信号として伝わる。この電気信号を皮膚表面に固定した電極によって測定したものを筋電位という。筋電位は計測系だけでなく、筋肉量や皮膚の厚さ、負荷に対する筋活動の現れ方など、個人差が大きいため、最大随意当尺性収縮(以下、「MVC:maximum voluntary contraction」ともいう)時の筋電位を100%とする相対値(%MVC)を用いて比較すると個人差等の誤差を少なくすることができる。   The electromyogram is a graph in which the elapsed time of the myoelectric potential is on the horizontal axis and the myoelectric potential is on the vertical axis. Muscles contract in response to commands from the brain, but these commands are transmitted as electrical signals. The electric signal measured by an electrode fixed on the skin surface is called myoelectric potential. Myoelectric potential is not only a measurement system but also has large individual differences such as muscle mass, skin thickness, and the appearance of muscle activity with respect to load. Therefore, it is also referred to as “maximum voluntary contraction” (hereinafter referred to as “MVC: maximum voluntary contraction”). ) When using a relative value (% MVC) where the myoelectric potential at time is 100%, errors such as individual differences can be reduced.

次に本実施形態に係る容器注ぎ出し動作の負担推定方法について説明する。本実施形態に係る容器注ぎ出し動作の負担推定方法は、少なくとも3つの工程、すなわち第1工程:動作筋の最大随意当尺性収縮時の筋電位情報の取得工程、第2工程:動作筋の筋電位情報の取得工程、第3工程:最大筋力比算出工程、である。以下、順に説明する。   Next, a method for estimating the burden of the container pouring operation according to this embodiment will be described. The container pouring operation load estimation method according to the present embodiment includes at least three steps, that is, a first step: a step of acquiring myoelectric potential information during the maximum voluntary isometric contraction of the moving muscle, and a second step: Myoelectric potential information acquisition step, third step: maximum muscle strength ratio calculation step. Hereinafter, it demonstrates in order.

(動作筋の最大随意当尺性収縮時の筋電位情報の取得工程)
表1で示した動作筋についてそれぞれ最大随意当尺性収縮時の筋電位を求めた。筋電位の測定は、筋電計を用いて公知の方法、例えば手・腕の筋部位に電極を取り付け、筋電位を測定することで行う。
(Acquisition process of EMG information during maximum voluntary isometric contraction of moving muscle)
The myoelectric potential at the time of maximum voluntary isometric contraction was determined for each of the moving muscles shown in Table 1. The myoelectric potential is measured by a known method using an electromyograph, for example, by attaching an electrode to a muscle part of the hand / arm and measuring the myoelectric potential.

(動作筋の筋電位情報の取得工程)
次に注ぎ出し動作がなされたときの動作筋の筋電位情報を取得する。筋電位の測定方法は、動作筋の最大随意当尺性収縮時の筋電位情報の取得する場合と同様である。
(Acquisition process of action muscle EMG information)
Next, the myoelectric potential information of the working muscle when the pouring operation is performed is acquired. The method for measuring the myoelectric potential is the same as that for acquiring myoelectric potential information during the maximum voluntary isometric contraction of the working muscle.

最大随意当尺性収縮時の筋電位情報及び注ぎ出し動作時の筋電位情報の取得のときに測定の対象とする動作筋は、注ぎ出し動作時の負担感に関係する動作筋である。具体的には表1に示した動作筋である。そこで、簡易に評価を行う場合には、持ち上げ動作の評価をするための動作筋として第1背側骨間筋、長母指外転筋、総指伸筋及び橈側手根伸筋から選択される少なくともいずれか一種を選択する。そして、容器本体を傾ける動作(注ぎ動作)の評価をするための動作筋として第1背側骨間筋又は総指伸筋のいずれか一種及び浅指屈筋を選択する。このような動作筋を選択することによって、注ぎ出し動作を行うに際して、必ず、いずれかの動作筋を測定していることとなり、被験者の負担感を評価することが可能となる。   The motion muscles to be measured when acquiring the myoelectric potential information during the maximum voluntary isometric contraction and the myoelectric potential information during the pouring operation are motion muscles related to the sense of burden during the pouring operation. Specifically, it is the motion line shown in Table 1. Therefore, when performing a simple evaluation, the first dorsal interosseous muscle, the long thumb abductor, the total finger extensor, and the heel side carpal extensor are selected as motion muscles for evaluating the lifting motion. Select at least one type. Then, either the first dorsal interosseous muscle or the total extensor extensor muscle and the superficial digital flexor muscle are selected as the action muscle for evaluating the action of tilting the container body (pouring action). By selecting such operating muscles, when performing the pouring operation, any operating muscle is always measured, and it becomes possible to evaluate the feeling of burden on the subject.

一方、注ぎ出し動作の被験者の負担感を詳細に評価する場合には、表1に示した動作筋のうち、第1背側骨間筋、長母指外転筋、総指伸筋、橈側手根伸筋及び浅指屈筋を含むことが好ましい。さらに尺側手根伸筋を加えたすべての動作筋について測定することがより好ましい。各動作筋の負担感を相対的に比較することができる。   On the other hand, when the burden feeling of the subject of the pouring operation is evaluated in detail, among the operating muscles shown in Table 1, the first dorsal interosseous muscle, the long thumb abductor, the total finger extensor, the heel side It is preferable to include carpal extensor and superficial flexor muscles. Furthermore, it is more preferable to measure all the moving muscles including the ulnar carpal extensor. It is possible to relatively compare the feeling of burden of each motion muscle.

(最大筋力比算出工程)
前記のとおり、筋電位を単に比較するのではなく、個人差等の測定値の変動要因を排除するために、最大随意当尺性収縮時の筋電位を100%とする相対値(%MVC)を用いて比較することとなる。%MVCは、最大筋力比であり、数1で求めることができる。
(数1)最大筋力比=注ぎ出し動作に伴う筋電位/最大随意当尺性収縮時の筋電位
(Maximum strength ratio calculation process)
As described above, rather than simply comparing myoelectric potentials, in order to eliminate the variation factors of measured values such as individual differences, the relative value (% MVC) with the myoelectric potential at the maximum voluntary isometric contraction as 100% Will be compared. % MVC is the maximum muscle strength ratio, and can be obtained from Equation 1.
(Equation 1) Maximum muscle strength ratio = Myoelectric potential during pouring / Maximum voluntary isometric contraction

ここで、注ぎ出し動作に伴う筋電位は、筋電図を描いて測定することとなるため、注ぎ出し動作の進め方は、動作の間に静止時間を設けて進めることが好ましい。具体的な動作は例えば次のとおりである。2秒で持ち上げ、3秒静止、2秒で傾け、3秒停止する。容器1種につき、上記動作を8回試行し、筋電位を最大筋力比に換算し、平均する。このとき、筋電位は試行ごとに計測した筋電位を全波整流する。より具体的には、筋電位データを全波整流する。次に1kHzで計測した生データを離散フーリエ変換する。次に10〜250Hz以外の周波数成分をカットする。次に逆フーリエ変換する。この結果から、筋電位を求める。そして同様の方法にて求めておいた最大随意当尺性収縮時の筋電位でこの筋電位を除して、最大筋力比に換算する。   Here, since the myoelectric potential accompanying the pouring operation is measured by drawing an electromyogram, it is preferable to advance the pouring operation with a stationary time between the operations. The specific operation is as follows, for example. Lift for 2 seconds, rest for 3 seconds, tilt for 2 seconds and stop for 3 seconds. For each type of container, the above operation is tried eight times, and the myoelectric potential is converted into the maximum strength ratio and averaged. At this time, the myoelectric potential is full-wave rectified from the myoelectric potential measured for each trial. More specifically, the myoelectric potential data is full-wave rectified. Next, discrete Fourier transform is performed on the raw data measured at 1 kHz. Next, frequency components other than 10 to 250 Hz are cut. Next, inverse Fourier transform is performed. From this result, the myoelectric potential is obtained. Then, the myoelectric potential is divided by the myoelectric potential at the maximum voluntary isometric contraction obtained by the same method, and converted to the maximum muscle strength ratio.

以上の工程を経ることで、測定対象の容器について筋ごとに最大筋力比の値が算出される。さらに、他の形状を有する容器を同様に測定することで、同様に筋ごとに最大筋力比の値が算出される。そして、各容器について、筋ごとの最大筋力比を比較し、各容器の注ぎ出し動作のし易さを比較、定量化する。負担の大きな筋が明らかとなるため、その負担を発生させている設計要素を特定することが容易となり、形状改良の方向性を論理的に明確にすることができる。   By passing through the above process, the value of the maximum muscular strength ratio is calculated for each muscle for the container to be measured. Furthermore, by similarly measuring containers having other shapes, the value of the maximum muscle strength ratio is similarly calculated for each muscle. Then, for each container, the maximum muscle strength ratio for each muscle is compared, and the ease of pouring operation of each container is compared and quantified. Since the line with a large burden becomes clear, it becomes easy to identify the design element causing the burden, and the direction of shape improvement can be clarified logically.

本実施形態に係る容器注ぎ出し動作の負担推定方法は、最大筋力比を指標として使用するため、個人間の差異が出にくい。よって、官能評価のように数多くの被験者を集める必要がなく、注ぎ出し動作における身体負担を客観的に評価することができ、また、最大筋力比という数値で表現できるため、定量的に把握できる。また、被験者として、身体的特徴(男女、手の大きさなど)の異なる特定の数名の被験者を集めて計測すれば、その身体的特徴を包含する被験者を想定して、注ぎ出し動作における身体負担を把握することが可能となる。被験者母集団の境界に位置するような人、例えば母集団の中で手の大きな人、小さな人、握力の大きい人、小さい人などを選定し、これらの人のデータを取ることで、最も母集団に適した容器を推定することができる。   Since the burden estimation method for the container pouring operation according to the present embodiment uses the maximum muscle strength ratio as an index, it is difficult for differences between individuals to occur. Therefore, it is not necessary to collect a large number of subjects as in the sensory evaluation, the body burden in the pouring operation can be objectively evaluated, and it can be expressed quantitatively because it can be expressed by the numerical value of the maximum muscle strength ratio. In addition, if a specific number of subjects with different physical characteristics (men and women, hand size, etc.) are collected and measured as subjects, the body in the pouring operation is assumed assuming subjects who include the physical characteristics. It becomes possible to grasp the burden. By selecting people who are located at the boundaries of the subject population, such as people with large hands, small people, people with large grip strength, and small people in the population, and collecting data on these people, Containers suitable for the population can be estimated.

本実施形態に係る容器注ぎ出し動作の負担推定方法を活用すれば容器本体の設計が可能となる。例えば、本発明に係る容器注ぎ出し動作の負担推定方法によって得られた、注ぎ出し動作における最大筋力比が0.5以下(50%MVC以下)を満たすように容器本体の胴部形状を決定するという容器本体の製造方法である。   The container body can be designed by using the container pouring operation load estimation method according to this embodiment. For example, the trunk shape of the container body is determined so that the maximum muscle strength ratio in the pouring operation obtained by the method for estimating the load of the container pouring operation according to the present invention satisfies 0.5 or less (50% MVC or less). It is the manufacturing method of the container main body.

本発明者らは、最大筋力比と筋負担に対する被験者の主観的評価(例えば楽である、やや楽である、ややきつい、きついなど)との関係を調べたところ、対数関数として対応可能であることを突き止めた。図3に浅指屈筋の最大筋力比と筋負担に対する被験者の主観的評価との関係を示す。図4に、図3における縦軸の被験者の主観的評価の数値の具体的基準(ボルグスケール)を示した。   The present inventors investigated the relationship between the maximum muscle strength ratio and the subjective evaluation of the subject with respect to the muscle burden (for example, easy, moderately easy, slightly tight, tight, etc.), and can be handled as a logarithmic function. I found out. FIG. 3 shows the relationship between the maximum strength ratio of the superficial digital flexor muscle and the subjective evaluation of the subject with respect to the muscle load. FIG. 4 shows a specific standard (Borg scale) of the numerical value of the subjective evaluation of the subject on the vertical axis in FIG.

図3と図4から、筋電位の値の大小は個人差があるものの、最大筋力比を基準にすれば筋負担に対する被験者の主観的評価が被験者に拠らず統一されることがわかる。具体的には、浅指屈筋の動作の場合、最大筋力比が30%を超えると被験者がややきついと筋負担を感じはじめ、最大筋力比が50%を超えると被験者がきついと筋負担を感じはじめることがわかる。他の動作筋についても図3と同様の傾向が観察された。そこで、注ぎ出し動作における最大筋力比が0.5以下(50%MVC以下)を満たすように容器本体の胴部形状を決定すれば、被験者は負担感を感じにくくなる。より好ましくは最大筋力比が0.3以下(30%MVC以下)とする。このように決定することで、容器胴体を従来の官能評価を経ずして製造することができる。   3 and 4, it can be seen that although the magnitude of the value of the myoelectric potential varies among individuals, the subjective evaluation of the subject with respect to the muscle burden is unified regardless of the subject if the maximum muscle strength ratio is used as a reference. Specifically, in the case of superficial digital flexor movement, the subject begins to feel a little strain when the maximum strength ratio exceeds 30%, and the subject feels a tight strain when the maximum strength ratio exceeds 50%. I know I'll start. The same tendency as in FIG. 3 was observed for the other motion muscles. Therefore, if the body shape of the container body is determined so that the maximum muscle strength ratio in the pouring operation satisfies 0.5 or less (50% MVC or less), the subject is less likely to feel a burden. More preferably, the maximum muscle strength ratio is set to 0.3 or less (30% MVC or less). By determining in this way, the container body can be manufactured without undergoing conventional sensory evaluation.

以下、実施例を示しながら本発明についてさらに詳細に説明するが、本発明は実施例に限定して解釈されない。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples, but the present invention is not construed as being limited to the examples.

(実施例1)
持ち方を変えることによって手のひらと容器本体との接触面積を変えて、注ぎ出し動作における被験者の負担感と筋電位との関係を検証した。被験者は、手首と手のひらの境界から中指の先端までの手長が17.0cmであった。
Example 1
The contact area between the palm and the container body was changed by changing the way of holding, and the relationship between the subject's sense of burden and myoelectric potential in the pouring operation was verified. The subject had a length of 17.0 cm from the boundary between the wrist and palm to the tip of the middle finger.

2リットルのペットボトルの高さ中央が中指の位置にくるように、かつ、中指が水平方向を向くように把持し、注ぎ出し動作を行った。この動作を0°とする。次に同じボトルの高さ中央が中指の位置にくるように、かつ、中指が水平方向に対して15°上を向くように把持し、注ぎ出し動作を行った。この動作を15°とする。さらに同じボトルの高さ中央が中指の位置にくるように、かつ、中指が水平方向に対して15°下を向くように把持し、注ぎ出し動作を行った。この動作を−15°とする。使用するボトルは表面形状の影響をなくすため、凹凸のないモックアップを用いた。被験者は1人とした。   The 2 liter PET bottle was grasped so that the center of the height was at the position of the middle finger and the middle finger was directed horizontally, and the pouring operation was performed. This operation is set to 0 °. Next, the same bottle was held so that the center of the height was at the position of the middle finger and the middle finger was directed upward by 15 ° with respect to the horizontal direction, and a pouring operation was performed. This operation is 15 °. Further, the same bottle was grasped so that the center of the height was at the position of the middle finger and the middle finger was directed downward by 15 ° with respect to the horizontal direction, and the pouring operation was performed. This operation is set to -15 °. In order to eliminate the influence of the surface shape of the bottle used, a mock-up with no irregularities was used. One test subject was used.

注ぎ出し動作は次のとおりである。すなわち、2秒で持ち上げ、3秒静止、2秒で傾け、3秒停止する。上記動作を8回試行し、筋電位を最大筋力比に換算し、平均する。このとき、持ち上げ動作と、注ぎ動作を分けてそれぞれ最大筋力比を算出した。なお、注ぎ出し動作は図1のタイプ2(もっとも把持に負担がかかる持ち方である)で行った。図5に主観的評価の結果を示した。図6に持ち上げ動作における最大筋力比(%MVC)を示した。図7に注ぎ動作における最大筋力比(%MVC)を示した。図5によれば、−15°、0°、15°の順に被験者の負担感が減少していることがわかる。次いで図6によれば、持ち上げ動作において第1背側骨間筋、長母指外転筋及び総指伸筋の三つの筋で−15°、0°、15°の順に被験者の負担感が減少していることがわかり、図5の主観評価と対応していることがわかった。さらに図7によれば、注ぎ動作において第1背側骨間筋、長母指外転筋及び総指伸筋の三つの筋で−15°、0°、15°の順に被験者の負担感が減少していることがわかり、図5の主観評価と対応していることがわかった。以上の結果から、注ぎ出し動作において、主観評価と最大筋力比との間に対応する関係があることが見出された。   The pouring operation is as follows. That is, it lifts in 2 seconds, stops for 3 seconds, tilts in 2 seconds, and stops for 3 seconds. The above operation is tried eight times, and the myoelectric potential is converted into the maximum muscle strength ratio and averaged. At this time, the maximum muscle strength ratio was calculated separately for the lifting operation and the pouring operation. The pouring operation was performed in the type 2 shown in FIG. 1 (however, the gripping is most burdensome). FIG. 5 shows the result of subjective evaluation. FIG. 6 shows the maximum muscle strength ratio (% MVC) in the lifting operation. FIG. 7 shows the maximum muscle strength ratio (% MVC) in the pouring operation. According to FIG. 5, it can be seen that the burden on the subject decreases in the order of −15 °, 0 °, and 15 °. Next, according to FIG. 6, in the lifting operation, the subject feels burdened in the order of −15 °, 0 °, and 15 ° in the three muscles of the first dorsal interosseous muscle, the long thumb abductor and the total finger extensor. It turned out that it has decreased, and it turned out that it corresponds with the subjective evaluation of FIG. Furthermore, according to FIG. 7, in the pouring operation, the subject feels burdened in the order of −15 °, 0 °, and 15 ° in the three muscles of the first dorsal interosseous muscle, the long thumb abductor and the total finger extensor. It turned out that it has decreased, and it turned out that it corresponds with the subjective evaluation of FIG. From the above results, it was found that there is a corresponding relationship between the subjective evaluation and the maximum strength ratio in the pouring operation.

(実施例2)
手の小さい男女6名(10代から30代)を被験者として、検証を行った。手首と手のひらの境界から中指の先端までの手長が15.4〜17.4cmで、握力は18〜34kgであった。なお、成人25パーセンタイル値は17.4cmである。使用したボトルは図8(a)(b)で示した2リットルボトル(以下A型ボトルという)と図8(c)(d)で示した2リットルボトル(以下B型ボトルという)である。そして、注ぎ出し動作は次のとおりである。すなわち、2秒で持ち上げ、3秒静止、2秒で傾け、3秒停止する。傾けのやり方は図1のタイプ2に統一した。上記動作を8回試行し、筋電位を最大筋力比に換算し、平均する。このとき、持ち上げ動作と、注ぎ動作を分けてそれぞれ最大筋力比を算出した。
(Example 2)
The test was conducted with 6 men and women with small hands (10s to 30s) as subjects. The length from the boundary between the wrist and the palm to the tip of the middle finger was 15.4 to 17.4 cm, and the grip strength was 18 to 34 kg. The 25th percentile value for adults is 17.4 cm. The bottles used were the 2 liter bottles (hereinafter referred to as A type bottles) shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B and the 2 liter bottles shown in FIGS. 8C and 8D (hereinafter referred to as B type bottles). The pouring operation is as follows. That is, it lifts in 2 seconds, stops for 3 seconds, tilts in 2 seconds, and stops for 3 seconds. The method of tilting was unified to type 2 in FIG. The above operation is tried eight times, and the myoelectric potential is converted into the maximum muscle strength ratio and averaged. At this time, the maximum muscle strength ratio was calculated separately for the lifting operation and the pouring operation.

図9に被験者6人のデータを平均した持ち上げ動作における主観的評価の結果を示した。図10に被験者6人のデータを平均した注ぎ動作における主観的評価の結果を示した。図11に被験者6人のデータを平均した持ち上げ動作における最大筋力比(%MVC)を示した。図12に被験者6人のデータを平均した注ぎ動作における最大筋力比(%MVC)を示した。図9と図10を参照すると、いずれの動作においてもB型ボトルの方が被験者の主観的な負担感が小さい。また、図11と図12を参照すると、いずれの動作においてもB型ボトルの方が最大筋力比が小さい。なお、図11及び図12において、筋Aは第1背側骨間筋、B筋は長母指外転筋、C筋は浅指屈筋、D筋は総指伸筋、E筋は橈側手根伸筋である。以上の結果から、手の小さい被験者の集合においても注ぎ出し動作において、主観評価と最大筋力比との間に対応する関係があることが見出された。   FIG. 9 shows the result of subjective evaluation in the lifting operation that averaged the data of six subjects. The result of the subjective evaluation in the pouring operation | movement which averaged the data of six test subjects in FIG. 10 was shown. FIG. 11 shows the maximum muscle strength ratio (% MVC) in the lifting motion that averaged the data of six subjects. FIG. 12 shows the maximum muscle strength ratio (% MVC) in the pouring motion that averaged the data of six subjects. Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, the B-type bottle has a smaller subjective burden on the subject in any of the operations. In addition, referring to FIGS. 11 and 12, the B-type bottle has a smaller maximum muscle strength ratio in any of the operations. 11 and 12, the muscle A is the first dorsal interosseous muscle, the B muscle is the long thumb abduction muscle, the C muscle is the superficial flexor muscle, the D muscle is the total finger extensor muscle, and the E muscle is the heel side hand. Root extensor muscle. From the above results, it was found that there is a corresponding relationship between the subjective evaluation and the maximum strength ratio in the pouring operation even in a group of subjects with small hands.

上記6人の被験者のうち、握力の弱い被験者(20代女性、手長17.2cm、握力18kg)のデータを図13〜図16に示した。図13に持ち上げ動作における主観的評価の結果を示した。図14に注ぎ動作における主観的評価の結果を示した。図15に持ち上げ動作における最大筋力比(%MVC)を示した。図16に注ぎ動作における最大筋力比(%MVC)を示した。図15及び図16において、筋A〜筋Eは図11及び図12と同じである。図9〜図12と同様の傾向、すなわち、いずれの動作においてもB型ボトルの方が最大筋力比が小さいという傾向が見られた。そして、握力が弱い被験者の場合、筋負担差が顕著に現れやすいこともわかった。よって、握力の弱い被験者を集めた母集団(例えば、握力を基準として下位25%以下の被験者集合体)の最大筋力比を測定することで、定量値の有意差を出しやすくすることができる。以上のとおり、母集団の境界付近の人を被験者としてピックアップし、それぞれ最大筋力比が所定値(例えば0.5以下)となる形状の容器本体とすれば、手長が異なる人等が混在した母集団で形成されている一般消費者の誰もが注ぎやすいと感ずる容器本体とすることができ、その容器本体を従来の官能評価を経ずして製造することができる。   Among the above six subjects, data of subjects with weak grip strength (20s female, hand length 17.2 cm, grip strength 18 kg) are shown in FIGS. FIG. 13 shows the result of subjective evaluation in the lifting operation. FIG. 14 shows the result of subjective evaluation in the pouring operation. FIG. 15 shows the maximum muscle strength ratio (% MVC) in the lifting operation. FIG. 16 shows the maximum muscle strength ratio (% MVC) in the pouring operation. 15 and 16, the muscles A to E are the same as those shown in FIGS. A tendency similar to that shown in FIGS. 9 to 12, that is, a tendency that the B-type bottle has a smaller maximum muscle strength ratio in any of the operations was observed. And it was also found that the difference in muscle burden tends to appear remarkably in the case of a subject with weak grip strength. Therefore, it is possible to easily obtain a significant difference in the quantitative value by measuring the maximum muscle strength ratio of a population (for example, a subject group of lower 25% or less with respect to grip strength) that collects subjects with weak grip strength. As described above, if a person near the boundary of the population is picked up as a subject and the container body has a shape in which the maximum muscle strength ratio is a predetermined value (for example, 0.5 or less), a mother with a mixture of people with different hand lengths. It can be set as a container main body that any general consumer formed in a group feels easy to pour, and the container main body can be manufactured without performing a conventional sensory evaluation.
