The printed circuit board 31 is connected with the signal component 311, the conductive component 13 and the measuring component 312 to form the identification circuit 30. The identification circuit 30 is conductive with the printed circuit board 31, the signal component 311, the conductive component 13 and the measuring component 312. The identification circuit 30 is started from an original end of the printed circuit board 31, the signal component 311, the printed circuit board 31 and the conductive component 13 are conductive in sequence, and then the identification circuit 30 returns to the original end of the printed circuit board 31, and the original end of the printed circuit board 31 is connected with the measuring component 312.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, a current is transmitted through the identification circuit 30. A current transmitting path of the identification circuit 30 passes through the conductive component 13. Different heating containers 10a are able to be used to different heating units 10, the different heating containers 10a are equipped with different conductive components 13. The different conductive components 13 have the different electrical properties. The different conductive components 13 have different active or passive electrical properties, and the different heating units 10 are identified by measuring the different active or passive electrical properties, so different heating modes are provided for the different heating units 10. The different active or passive electrical properties include resistance values of the different conductive components 13, capacitance values of the different conductive components 13, etc. The conductive component 13 is connected to the identification circuit 30 in series, nevertheless, the conductive component 13 is without being connected to the identification circuit 30 in series. Preferably, the conductive component 13 is connected to the identification circuit 30 in a parallel connection way. Therefore, the heater structure 100 identifies a type of the heating unit 10 which is installed to the power supply holder 20 by measuring the electrical properties of the conductive component 13 with the measuring component 312 and a function of the identification circuit 30, and then heat the heating unit 10 in a corresponding heating mode.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, in the first preferred embodiment and the second preferred embodiment, two different types of the heating units 10 are identified by use of the electrical properties of switching a closed circuit state and an open circuit state of the identification circuit 30.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, the identification circuit 30 includes a third conducting element 32, a metal case 11, an elastic section 33a and a cable 34. The third conducting element 32 is connected with the printed circuit board 31. The third conducting element 32 is conductive with the printed circuit board 31. The metal case 11 is connected with the third conducting element 32 and the conductive component 13. The metal case 11 is conductive with the third conducting element 32 and the conductive component 13. The elastic section 33a is secured to the housing 21, and the elastic section 33a is connected with the conductive component 13. The elastic section 33a is conductive with the conductive component 13. The cable 34 is connected with the elastic section 33a and the printed circuit board 31. The cable 34 is conductive with the elastic section 33a and the printed circuit board 31. The contacting section 13a is disposed as the elastic section 33a cooperated with the outer surface of the metal case 11, the elastic section 33a is connected with the outer surface of the metal case 11.

The elastic section 33a is a pogo pin. The conductive component 13 is mounted to an outer wall of the metal case 11. The conductive component 13 is a metal layer 14a. The metal layer 14a surrounds an outer surface of the contacting section 13a. The metal layer 14a is protruded outward from the outer surface of the metal case 11. The metal layer 14a is corresponding to the elastic section 33a. The metal layer 14a is coupled with the elastic section 33a. When the heating unit 10 is inserted into the inner space 22, one end of the elastic section 33a passes through a wall of the housing 21, the one end of the elastic section 33a abuts against the metal layer 14a, and the one end of the elastic section 33a contacts with the metal layer 14a, so the identification circuit 30 is in a connected state, and the identification circuit 30 is in an on-state.

A current signal which is emitted by the signal component 311 passes through the printed circuit board 31, the third conducting element 32, the metal case 11, the metal layer 14a and the elastic section 33a, and then the current signal flows back to the printed circuit board 31 via the cable 34 to form a circuit current, the circuit current is able to be detected by the measuring component 312, and then the heater structure 100 adopts a heating mode corresponding to the on-state of the identification circuit 30.

The conductive component 13 is recessed inward and opposite to the inner space 22 from the outer periphery of the metal case 11. The conductive component 13 is an air layer 14b. The air layer 14b surrounds an outer surface of the contacting section 13a. Preferably, the air layer 14b is recessed inward and opposite to the inner space 22 from the outer surface of the metal case 11. A thickness of the air layer 14b is greater than a movable stroke of the elastic section 33a along a radial direction of the housing 21, so when the elastic section 33a is in a fully extension status, the elastic section 33a is unable to be connected with the metal case 11. The metal case 11 is isolated from the elastic section 33a by the air layer 14b, so that the identification circuit 30 is in a disconnected status, and the identification circuit 30 is in an off-state.

After the current signal which is emitted by the signal component 311 passes through the printed circuit board 31, the third conducting element 32, the metal case 11 and the air layer 14b in sequence, and then the elastic section 33a is isolated from the metal case 11 by the air layer 14b, so the identification circuit 30 is in the disconnected status, and the identification circuit 30 is in the off-state. The current signal which is emitted from the signal component 311 is unable to be detected by the measuring component 312, and then the heater structure 100 adopts a heating mode corresponding to the off-state of the identification circuit 30.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 9, in order to promote a convenience of a user, the metal layer 14a and the air layer 14b are both designed in circular shapes, so when the user assembles the heating unit 10 with the power supply holder 20, the metal layer 14a or the air layer 14b has no need of being deliberately aligned to a direction of the elastic section 33a.

As described above, the metal layer 14a and the air layer 14b are both formed in the circular shapes, so when the heater structure 100 is assembled, the metal layer 14a or the air layer 14b has no need of being deliberately aligned to the elastic section 33a.
