- the thermal safety apparatus 50 is a resettable thermal fuse, which is connected in series in the electrical circuit of the heating member 301.
- the resettable fuse is limited to a first preset temperature, a resettable temperature, and a resettable time.
- the resettable fuse will break, thereby cutting off the electrical circuit of the heating member 301 so that the heating member 301 stops heating.
- the thermal safety apparatus 50 may alternatively be a disposable fuse.
- the disposable fuse will blow, thereby cutting off the electrical circuit of the heating member 301. Replacing the disposable fuse can resume the conduction of the current.
- the thermal safety apparatus 50 may realize circuit breaking independently, which is particularly advantageous for certain extreme situations. For example, in a case where the control apparatus 30 fails, the control apparatus 30 does not control the heating member 301 to stop heating when the heating apparatus 30 exceeds the second preset temperature, thereby causing the heating member 301 to continue heating, so that the temperature of the control apparatus 30 rises above the first preset temperature.
