A heating control circuit to improve safety of electric blankets and similar electric heating devices, the heating control circuit can accurately control a heating temperature, can detect a working state of key elements, and can prevent a local temperature of an electric heating wire from being too high and causing a fire, thereby ensuring the safety of users. In order to achieve the above objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a heating control circuit configured to control power of an electric heating element includes: a temperature sensing element, having positive temperature coefficient (“PTC”) characteristics and configured to sense a temperature of the electric heating element to generate a temperature voltage; a first comparison circuit, configured to compare the temperature voltage with a reference voltage to generate a comparison signal; a controller, configured to output an on-off control signal according to the comparison signal; and a first switching element, coupled into a ground loop of the electric heating element and configured to switch on or off a power loop of the electric heating element based on the on-off control signal.

This temperature control device is provided with: an endothermic/exothermic unit that heats or cools a subject to be subjected to temperature control; a temperature detection unit that detects the first temperature of the periphery of the subject; a control unit that controls the endothermic/exothermic unit on the basis of a variable target temperature; and a variable target temperature setter that sets the variable target temperature to a first variable target temperature on the basis of the first temperature and target temperature information indicating the target temperature. With such temperature control device, since the target temperature changes to a suitable value as needed, a time needed until the temperature of the subject reaches the target temperature can be shortened.
