<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rice cooker actuating a pot that has excellent durability and includes a temperature detection device not lowering temperature accuracy. <P>SOLUTION: The rice cooker includes: a heater 5 for heating a pot 2; a detector 11 for detecting the temperature of the pot 2; a heating controller 6a for controlling the heater 5 according to a predetermined sequence of cooking rice on the basis of an output from the detector 11; and pot actuating devices 20 and 21 for actuating the pot 2. The detector 11 for detecting temperature of the pot includes: a movable contact part 13 integrally operated, contacting the pot 2; and a temperature sensor 7 for detecting the temperature of the movable contact part 13. In the detector for detecting the temperature of the pot, at least a part of a signal path in which a signal is output from the movable contact part 13 to the heating controller 6a through the temperature sensor 7, is wirelessly structured, it is possible to prevent abrasion and deterioration of contact parts or a time variation caused by the pot actuating during contacting.The detector 11 also accurately detects the pot temperature for detecting the temperature of the movable contact part without a load such as torsion or tension on wiring or the like. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
