DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The structure of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. During long-term use of a wax melter in the prior art, a high temperature produced by a heating assembly may directly bake a circuit board and a housing of the wax melter, which easily leads to premature aging or desoldering of electronic components on the circuit board; and continuously heating the housing of the wax melter may also lead to an excess temperature, resulting in a risk of scalding a user. In addition, the heating assembly and a temperature sensing assembly in the current wax melter are mounted in such a way of being attached to a pot body inside the wax melter by using a tinfoil tape. However, it is difficult to unify positions of the heating assembly and the temperature sensing assembly mounted in this way, the temperatures monitored at different positions are different, and the tinfoil tape may easily cause the heating assembly and the temperature sensing assembly to be in poor contact with the pot body, which in turn leads to a great temperature difference during use of the product. Generally, the pot body is fixed in such a way that the heating assembly is supported and propped against a bottom of the pot body by means of a support frame. This mounting method is prone to not only deforming the pot body, which in turn leads to a poor heat conduction effect of the pot body, but also loosening the pot body and producing defective products during the process of production.
