The 2014 China Household Appliances Technology Conference (referred to as "2014 Technical Conference") sponsored by the China Household Electrical Appliances Association will be held on November 3-6 in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. The theme of this year's technology conference is "intelligent, energy-saving, environmental-friendly and new materials". The content will focus on the development trend of international home appliance technology and all kinds of common technologies closely related to home appliances, highlighting intelligence, energy conservation and environmental protection, new materials, and new technologies. The application of technology, such as the latest international and domestic results, the conference involves both cutting-edge technology and practical technology, closely linked to the current front-end trend of home appliance industry technology. The 2014 Technology Conference will continue to publish collections of essays and hold small technology demonstrations.

It is worth mentioning that the scheduled convening of the 2014 Technology Conference will provide a hotbed for household electrical appliance companies that have entered a turning point in development to enhance the "hard power", that is, the innovation of products and technologies.

This year, the slowdown in the growth of the air-conditioning market and the decline in the refrigerators, washing machines, and color TV markets have once again caused the outside world to feel the unexpected winter period in the home appliance industry. Some industry insiders believe that starting from 2015, China's national power grid industry will enter a new round of adjustment period. In addition to the integration of marketing and services, product and technology innovation will be the most critical "hard power" of corporate competition.

In 2014, excellent home appliance companies have begun to prepare for the future transformation, such as Midea, Haier and Changhong. Under the idea of ​​“boutique strategy” product transformation, Midea Group has begun to establish a product development platform based on new technologies and new materials in the future at the group level and various business units under the Group.

The current technology conference has arranged keynote speeches on the development trend of energy conservation and environmental protection as well as common technologies such as new technologies and new materials, such as “application of cross-border technologies in the field of home appliances”, “environment-friendly and energy-saving surface treatment technologies,” and “high new functions "Application of Molecular Composites in Home Appliances", "Application of Mechanical Optimization Design in Home Appliances," etc.

With smart homes and smart homes becoming important directions for the strategic transformation of companies such as Midea, Haier and Changhong, in 2014, the home appliance industry has reached unprecedented heights in its focus on smart technologies. Although companies have made many attempts to launch single-item smart home appliances, due to immature key technologies and other reasons, smart home appliances are currently in an embarrassing situation with no heat.

In this context, the development of smart technologies has become an important issue for the 2014 technology conference. The technical representatives of the industrial chain, including Midea, Bo Xi, Fang Tai, Qihoo 360, and Baidu, will understand the development of smart technologies from different perspectives.

In 2014, there will be 6 professional technical sessions in the same period. They are: professional technology branch of refrigerator/freezer, professional branch of air conditioner, professional branch of washing machine, water heater (including electric water heater, heat pump water heater, solar water heater). The club, kitchen appliances professional technology branch and drinking water appliances professional technology branch. He mainly discussed and exchanged hot topics in various fields, and arranged the authors of some papers to read papers on various new technologies and research and development of home appliances.

In order to help enterprises more fully understand the progress of the project and related international and domestic HCFC-22 policies, and make full preparations for the next phase of reduction work, at this technical conference, the China Household Electrical Appliances Association and the Ministry of Environmental Protection have cooperated The Center, the UN Environment Agency, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, and the German International Cooperation Agency will continue to jointly organize an international exchange meeting for alternative technologies for HCFC-22 in the room air conditioner industry.
