COOKING APPLIANCE WITH AT LEAST ONE CARRYING PLATE AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING A VIBRATION SENSOR

The present invention relates to a cooking appliance with at least one carrying plate (3) adapted to receive cookware placed thereon, in particular a cooking hob (1) with a top plate. At least one sensing means for the detection of vibration is comprised. The vibration is generated when food to be cooked and/or cooking adjuvant inside of the cookware is heated up. The food to be cooked and/or cooking adjuvant may be a cooking liquid. A vibration sensor is attached to the carrying plate (3) by way of fixation means which prevent relative movement between the vibration sensor and the carrying plate (3), in particular in the direction towards and/or away from each other.Further, a method for assembling a vibration sensor to a carrying plate (3) of a cooking appliance, particularly to a top plate of a cooking hob (1), is disclosed. The carrying plate (3) transmits vibration movements from a cookware to the vibration sensor. The assembly comprises the assembling steps:- a first rigid frame part (23) is rigidly connected to the carrying plate (3), preferably in a first assembling step; and- the vibration sensor is connected to the first rigid frame part (23) in a way that prevents relative movement between vibration sensor and carrying plate (3), in particular in the direction towards and/or away from each other, preferably in a second assembling step.
