It will be appreciated that the control device 125 controls the heating element 122 to be turned on for continued operation when the temperature detected by the temperature detecting device 127 is less than or equal to a preset threshold.

In other specific examples provided by the present disclosure, the temperature detecting device 127 may be connected in series with the heating element 122, while the control device 125 is connected to the heating element 122, the temperature detecting device 127. In this way, when the temperature detected by the temperature detecting device 127 exceeds a certain threshold, the temperature detecting device 127 is turned off, so that the heating element 122 connected in series with the temperature detecting device 127 will also stop working correspondingly, thereby playing a role in temperature protection. Meanwhile, when the circuit in which the heating element and the temperature detecting device 127 are connected in series fails, if the detection signal of the temperature detecting device 127 reaches the preset threshold, the control device 125 controls the heating element 122 to stop working, and the over-temperature protection effect can be realized as well.
