The second bent portion 9a22 and the fourth bent portion 9a23 are closer to the second circuit board 8a1, so that the reliability of contact is high and the structure is relatively compact. The second bent portion 9a22 and the fourth bent portion 9a23 are both parallel to the second body portion 9a21. The second body portion 9a21 is insert-molded in the battery accommodating housing 2a. Both the second bent portion 9a22 and the fourth bent portion 9a23 are exposed in the accommodating space 2a3. Of course, in other embodiments, the second body portion 9a21 can also be embedded or inserted in the battery accommodating housing 2a, so that the second body portion 9a21 can also be fixed to the battery accommodating housing 2a.

The first contact terminal 10b2 includes a first receiving portion 10b21 and a first slit 10b22 for holding the first connecting wire 9b2. The first receiving portion 10b21 has elasticity so as to better accommodate the first plug portion 8a21 of the first mating terminal 8a2. In the embodiment shown in the present disclosure, the first receiving portion 10b21 is provided with a plurality of slots extending along the axial direction. The slots extend through the first receiving portion 10b21 in a direction away from the heating element 9b, so that the first receiving portion 10b21 has a certain elasticity.
