[0028] Among them, the heating components include a temperature sensor 5, an electric heating coil 6 and a controller 8. The temperature sensor 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating base 2, the electric heating coil 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating base 2, and the controller 8 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the rotating base 2.
