DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, the switch lever 10 is generally made of synthetic resin or the like, and since it is a substantially rigid body, the sliding distance of the temperature detecting device 4 is small. Had to be larger. That is, due to dimensional variations after assembly,
In order to prevent the operation of the micro switch 9 from becoming uncertain and to prevent the circuit board 5 from being damaged by an abnormal load on the micro switch 9, the operation stroke of the push button portion of the micro switch 9 is increased, and accordingly, the temperature It was necessary to increase the sliding distance of the detection device 4. Further, this also makes the microswitch 9 large, and the space for the circuit board 5 and the sliding space for the temperature detection device 4 also become large.

The operation in the above configuration will be described. When the inner pot 21 is mounted, the bottom surface portion abuts the casting heater 23, but the temperature detecting device 25 protruding from the casting heater 23 is pushed down by the inner pot 21. At this time, the temperature detecting device 25 is lowered by the biasing spring 27 while being in close contact with the bottom surface of the inner pot 21. As the temperature detecting device 25 descends, the sliding plate 28 descends and depresses the pressing portion 35 of the lever spring 34, but the pressing portion 35 slides due to the spring portion 37 pressing the front wall portion 39 of the substrate case 29. Since the plate 28 is constantly in contact with the plate 28, this operation is surely performed in conjunction with each other. Since the lever spring 34 is rotatably attached to the substrate case 29, the downward movement of the pressing portion 35 about the rotation shaft 33a is converted into the upward movement of the operating portion 38. Operates with the push button section 40 of the micro switch 37,
When the mounting of the casting heater 23 is detected, it is possible to energize the casting heater 23.
