One end of the parallel resistance component is connected to the negative electrode of the Schottky diode D2, the negative electrode of the diode D1 and the input signal voltage pin, and the other end of the parallel resistance component is connected to the positive electrode of the heater; that is, one end of the parallel resistance component is connected to the diode D1, and the parallel resistance component and the diode D1 are connected to the same input signal voltage network. One end of the capacitor C17, one end of the diode D10 and one end of the capacitor C4 are all connected to the other end of the parallel resistance component and the DC voltage supply pin, and the other end of the capacitor C17, the other end of the diode D10 and the other end of the capacitor C4 are connected and grounded; that is, one end of the capacitor C17, one end of the diode D1, one end of the capacitor C4, one end of the resistor R1, one end of the NTC thermistor R10, one end of the resistor R4 and the V+ pin of the operational amplifier U2 are all connected to the same network and the DC voltage supply pin, serving as an example.

Based on the temperature change of the environment where the NTC thermistor R10 is located, the output of the operational amplifier U2 is determined, that is, the opening and closing of the heater are not at the same point. If a high level is output to the transistor Q1, the transistor Q1 is turned on, and the PTC heater is turned on. If a low level is output to the transistor Q1, the transistor Q1 does not output, and the PTC heater is turned off. As an example, when the resistance value of the NTC thermistor R10 is 10K, the heater starts to heat the vehicle drain valve.
