Black Gold 8: The Innovative Knob-Type Needle Thermostat

Introducing a Smart Temperature Controller for a Safer and Healthier Home Experience

The Black Gold 8 is a unique and innovative knob-type needle thermostat designed by Robin Wu, Lei Shen, and Kim Wang. Inspired by a business-oriented approach, this intelligent temperature controller combines functionality and simplicity to provide users with a safer and more comfortable home environment.

With its clear and user-friendly interface, the Black Gold 8 stands out from other thermostat designs. The interface features numbers and four icons displayed dynamically in the form of needle jumping left and right. These icons represent temperature, duration, ECO mode, and power supply, making them easily accessible to users of all ages, including the elderly.

One of the key strengths of the Black Gold 8 is its versatility. It can be used with a variety of heating wires and heating rods towel racks, making it suitable for different heating systems. The interface functions are clearly distributed, and the knob-type control adds an interesting and interactive element to the user experience.

Thanks to its built-in Wi-Fi module, the Black Gold 8 can be operated remotely through an app or a remote control. This allows users to make settings in advance without having to wait. The integrated knob simplifies the operation process, as users only need to press the knob to select the desired mode and then turn it to adjust the specific temperature and time. This not only increases comfort but also creates a more diverse and engaging interactive experience.

The Black Gold 8 has dimensions of 100mm*70mm*60mm, making it compact and space-saving. Its sleek design and modern aesthetics make it a stylish addition to any home.

One of the notable features of the Black Gold 8 is its child lock function, which prevents accidental touching and potential scalding incidents. By pressing and holding the knob for three seconds, the child lock function can be activated or deactivated, ensuring the safety of children in the household. Additionally, the internal components of the Black Gold 8 are equipped with multiple intelligent protection systems for electric leakage and overheating. In case of any anomalies, the product emits a warning tone and automatically cuts off the power, protecting the user's life and property.

The Black Gold 8 is expected to be listed in the next year, following its development in 2022. Its innovative design and user-friendly features have already been recognized with the Bronze A' Design Award in the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Products category in 2023. This prestigious award acknowledges the Black Gold 8's outstanding creativity, technical excellence, and contribution to improving the quality of life.

With the Black Gold 8, Robin Wu, Lei Shen, and Kim Wang have successfully combined art, science, design, and technology to create a smart temperature controller that enhances the home experience.
