8. A liquid heating apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein said flare is welded sealed to the end of said outer tube; the liquid inlet pipe or the liquid outlet pipe is welded on the first through hole or the second through hole.

9. The liquid heating apparatus as claimed in claim 8, wherein the liquid inlet pipe is connected to a water pump, and the liquid outlet pipe has a diameter not larger than that of the liquid inlet pipe, so as to maintain the liquid pressure in the flow passage at 0.1-1.0 MPa.

10. A liquid heating apparatus as claimed in claim 8, wherein said inner tube and said flare are both made of stainless steel.

11. The liquid heating apparatus of claim 9, further comprising a temperature sensor, and a controller electrically connected to the temperature sensor; the temperature sensor is configured at the position, close to the second through hole, of the outer pipe, and the controller is used for controlling the speed of liquid inlet of the water pump and/or the heating power of the heating assembly according to temperature information sent by the temperature sensor.
