An electromechanical temperature detection device for a cooking appliance comprises a first rod-shaped sensor part and a second tubular-shaped sensor part. The first sensor part and the second sensor part are made from materials having different thermal expansion co-efficients. The first sensor part is positioned inside the second sensor part. An end area of the first sensor part is connected to the second sensor part in the end area of the second sensor part and the opposite end area of the first sensor part is connected to a switching device. The second sensor part consists of a sheet metal stamped part which is embodied along a longitudinal axis such that it surrounds a longitudinal area in a tubular like manner with a first sensor part positioned inside the tubular part.

Electromechanical temperature detection device for a cooking appliance and method for the manufacture of an electromechanical temperature detection device

According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention a radiant heater ( ) for a glass ceramic cooking area ( ) is created. The radiant heater comprises a carrier shell ( ) carrying a flat insulator ( ), on which is placed a heating means ( ). A thermal relay ( ) projects with its tube-like sensor ( ) into the central area of the radiant heater ( ) and the sensor can rest on an elevation ( ) of the insulator ( ). By means of a holder ( ) the sensor ( ) can be fixed to the carrier shell ( ). The holder does not project over the underside of the carrier shell ( ). In one embodiment the holder with barb-like ends reaches into an opening in the carrier shell and is fixed to locking edges of the carrier shell.
