Description

Temperature sensing module {TEMPERATURE SENSING MODULE}

The present invention relates to a temperature sensing module, and more particularly, a filter unit is stably provided to accurately measure the temperature of a container for heating and cooking. It relates to a temperature sensing module that can make

BACKGROUND ART An electric range using electricity is used as a cooking appliance for heating and cooking food materials contained in a container for heating and cooking. This electric range is called a so-called cooktop (COOK TOP) and is excellent in terms of safety because it can cook without an actual flame. In addition, there is an advantage of achieving a simple and beautiful appearance.

When cooking using such an electric range, accurately reproducing a predetermined recipe is a very important issue in terms of taste and texture of food. The electric range can control the heating temperature by controlling the thermal power, but when only the intensity of the thermal power is displayed, the accurate temperature is not displayed, so it is difficult to set the temperature. In addition, even when the temperature is displayed, the temperature provided by the electric range and the temperature of the heating and cooking container do not exactly match, so there is a problem in that the taste and texture of food are deteriorated.

Therefore, there is a need for a cooking apparatus capable of accurately measuring the temperature of a heating and cooking container and maintaining the aesthetics of an electric range beautifully.

In addition, in the case of a temperature sensing device used to measure the temperature of a container for heating and cooking, since it may be easily contaminated by food during a cooking process, washing is required. Therefore, there is a need to provide a temperature sensing device capable of preventing a failure from occurring during the cleaning process.
