The plug-in portion 13 is inserted into the heating component 21 through the insertion holes. The connecting portion 12 is clamped in the clamping portion 11. One end of the reset component 7 is abutted against the support seat 24, and the other end of the reset component 7 is abutted against the pressing portion 9.

[0046] In the present rotating mechanism, one end of the connecting shaft 3 is connected to the rotating wheel 4, and the other end passes through the supporting seat 24 and is connected to the heating component 21, so as to realize the rotation of the heating component 21; the rotating part 10 is rotatably connected to the supporting seat 24, and two plug holes are provided on the supporting seat 24, and the plug-in part 13 passes through the plug holes and is plugged into the heating component 21, and the connecting part 12 is clamped in the clamping part 11, and one end of the reset member 7 is in contact with the supporting seat 24, and the other end of the reset member 7 is in contact with the pressing part 9; when the heating component 21 needs to be rotated, the pressing part 9 is pressed toward the supporting seat 24, and the rotating part 10 is rotatably connected to the supporting seat 24, and at this time, the clamping part 11 moves away from the supporting seat 24. Since the connecting portion 12 of the clamping member 8 is clamped in the clamping portion 11, the plug-in portion 13 of the clamping member 8 moves away from the support seat 24 following the clamping portion. At this time, the plug-in portion 13 is separated from the heating component 21, and the heating component 21 is not constrained by the clamping member, so the heating component 21 can be rotated.
