[0047] Specifically, the heater provided in the constant-temperature water tank can heat the water in the constant-temperature water tank to become constant-temperature water. The heat provided by the heater just makes up for the heat loss due to heat exchange and heat dissipation, maintaining the constant temperature of the constant-temperature water.
[0048] Optionally, the constant-temperature water tank is provided with a control unit outside, and a third temperature sensor inside; the heater and the third temperature sensor are connected with the control unit.
