Ceramic cooking hob has temperature sensor supported by fixing element extending from point on outside of heating element in contact with underside of hob surface on inside of heating element

摘要

The cooking hob has a ceramic glass hob surface, with at least one heating element (5) positioned beneath it, for heating a cooking pan placed on the hob surface and a temperature sensor (29) within the heating element, for detecting the temperature of the underside of the hob surface, for controlling the heating power for the heating element. The temperature sensor is attached to a fixing element (25) extending from a point within the heating element to a point outside the heating element, with a reception section (27) for the temperature sensor and a fixing section or a connecting section (49) for connecting to an electrical cable (51) at its opposite ends, which are radially and axially offset from one another. Also included are Independent claims for the following: (a) a heating element for a ceramic cooking hob; (b) a fixing element for a temperature sensor for a ceramic hob heating element
