[0035] As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, one side of the water tank 11 facing the LED lamp groups 5 is provided with a PTC heating plate 16 arranged in a length direction of the light-transmitting channel 7, and a plurality of uniformly arranged support bases 19 positioned on the lower side of the PTC heating plate 16 are connected and fixed to the water tank 11. The support base 19 is of a hollow structure, a cross section of the support base 19 is rectangular, and upper portions of two side surfaces of the support base 19 adjacent to the water tank 11 are provided with positioning grooves 25. Two parallel side surfaces of the PTC heating plate 16 are connected and fixed to positioning bars 27 that are matched with the positioning groove 25 and arranged in the length direction of the PTC heating plate 16. One positioning bar 27 on the PTC heating plate 16 is inserted into the positioning grooves 25 on the plurality of support bases 19, and at the moment, the PTC heating plate 16 is attached to the side surface of the water tank 11. Accordingly, the PTC heating plate 16 is inserted into the water tank 11, and the PTC heating plate 16 can be conveniently removed from or mounted on the water tank 11. By using the PTC heating plate 16, a safety factor is high, and the phenomenon of becoming red on a surface of a heater such as an electric heating tube cannot be generated under any application condition. When an external temperature controller breaks down, a temperature of a heating surface of the PTC heating plate 16 does not exceed a set constant temperature, such that the PTC heating plate has an overtemperature protection function, and potential safety hazards such as scalding and fire disasters cannot occur. The PTC heating plate 16 has the advantages of small heat resistance and high heat exchange efficiency, automatically keeps at a constant temperature, and saves power. A temperature rise rate is fast and the atomization effect is fast, such that the water tank 11 can be heated evenly, and the mist effect is good. The PTC heating plate 16 is made of a PTC ceramic heating element and an aluminum pipe, thereby having long service life. The PTC heating plate 16 is changeable in shape, thin and light, and easy to mount.

[0036] As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 4, and 5, an outer side of the PTC heating plate 16 is equipped with an L-shaped shielding cover 20. The shielding cover 20 is aligned and attached to one side of the support base 19 facing away from the side of the water tank 11. Two first round holes 22 are positioned at a position where the shielding cover 20 and the support base 19 are attached. A side of the support base 19 facing away from the water tank 11 has two second round holes 26 aligned with the first round holes 22. The support base 19 contains a positioning plate 23, and two ends of the positioning plate 23 are fixedly connected to support plates 24 that make contact with the inner wall of the second round holes 26 in the support base 19.
