[0028] It should be noted that the clamping mechanism 3 is composed of an integral clamping part A31 and a clamping part B32 respectively arranged on the shell A1 and the shell B2, which ensures the stability of the connection and the convenience of assembly. This design not only simplifies the assembly process and reduces the potential damage risk caused by complex assembly, but also improves the stability and reliability of the overall structure through precise fitting, and helps to optimize the heat conduction path, improve the response speed and accuracy of NTC to temperature changes.

[0029] Among them, the right side of the connecting block B314 is provided with a positioning hole, and one side of the connecting block C321 and located in the fitting groove 322 is fixed with a positioning column matched with the inner diameter of the positioning hole.

[0030] It should be noted that this design ensures that the shell A1 and the shell B2 can be accurately positioned during assembly, avoiding assembly difficulties or instability caused by positional deviation.

[0031] Among them, the right side of the connecting block B314 and close to its back is provided with a movable slot for the positioning column, and the right side cross section of the movable slot is rectangular, the shell A1 and the shell B2 are coaxially arranged, and the geometric center of the shell A1 coincides with the geometric center of the shell B2.

[0032] It should be noted that the movable slot facilitates the movement of the positioning column during clamping, allowing it to smoothly enter the positioning hole.

[0037] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0038] Before assembly, ensure that the shell A1 and the shell B2 are coaxially arranged, i.e. the geometric centers of the two coincide, and the two wires of the electric rice cooker NTC and the fuse are respectively sleeved in the semi-ring groove A312 and the semi-ring groove B324 in a U-shaped design, and the corners of the U-shaped wire design are made more smooth through the arc-shaped groove A313 and the arc-shaped groove B315, avoiding damage to the wires. Secondly, the connecting block A311 and the connecting block B314 on the shell A1 are aligned with the fitting groove 322 on the shell B2. Since the shape of the connecting block A311 and the connecting block B314 matches the fitting groove 322, they can be correctly docked. During the docking process, the shell A1 and the shell B2 are pushed closer along the axial direction of the shell A1 and the shell B2, so that the connecting block A311 and the connecting block B314 enter the fitting groove 322. At this time, the semi-ring groove A312 on the connecting block A311 should be aligned with the semi-ring groove B324 on the connecting block C321, and form a complete circular structure together, while the positioning column will pass through the movable slot and be inserted into the positioning hole, ensuring that the shell A1 and the shell B2 will not move relative to each other, to complete the split clamping and fixing between the two wires of the electric rice cooker NTC and the fuse.
