Disclosed herein is an overheat prevention device for household bean milk and bean curd makers. The makers include a housing (11) having a cavity to contain water therein, a main body (12) provided on an upper portion of the housing to open or close the housing, a drive motor (13) installed in a predetermined portion of the main body to generate rotating power when electricity is applied to the drive motor, a drive shaft (14) to transmit the rotating power from the drive motor, a cutting blade (15) provided at an end of the drive shaft, a heater (16) downwardly extending from the main body to generate heat when electricity is applied to the heater, thus heating an interior of the housing, and a filter net (18) detachably mounted to a predetermined portion of the main body to contain beans therein. The overheat prevention device includes a temperature sensing and fusing bar (20) that extends to a predetermined length to reach a position around the filter net and has a temperature sensor to detect an internal temperature of the housing, and a thermal fuse to cut off electricity supplied to the heater, when the interior of the housing overheats. The overheat prevention device allows the thermal fuse to accurately detect an internal temperature of the housing, therefore preventing the household bean milk and bean curd makers from overheating. <IMAGE> |
