At the same time, the second trigger part 51 of the second cooker 5 can trigger the safety protection switch 23 only when the second cooker 5 is fully installed. At this time, the heating element 22 can be started and worked normally. This can greatly improve safety and save energy consumption.

[0019] In this embodiment, the safety protection switch 23 includes: a trigger element 231 and a micro switch 232 for controlling the start and stop of the heating element 22. The micro switch 232 is connected to the housing 21. The middle part of the trigger element 231 is rotatably connected to the housing 21, and the micro switch 232 is triggered to respond when the trigger element 231 rotates. The trigger element 231 is provided with a horizontal trigger part 2311 and an inclined trigger part 2312. The housing 21 may be provided with a first clearance hole 2101 for avoiding the first trigger part 41. The first clearance hole 2101 is located on the side of the housing 21, so that when the first cookware 4 is used in conjunction with the head assembly 2, the first trigger part 41 can pass through the first clearance hole 2101 to trigger the tilt trigger part 2312 to operate; the housing 21 may be provided with a second clearance hole 2102 for avoiding the second trigger part 51, the second clearance hole 2102 is located on the bottom surface of the housing 21, so that when the second cookware 5 is used in conjunction with the head assembly 2, the second trigger part 51 can pass through the second clearance hole 2102 to trigger the horizontal trigger part 2311 to operate. The first clearance hole 2101 and the second clearance hole 2102 are interconnected. The safety protection switch 23 adopts the above structure. When the heating element is facing down (used in conjunction with the first pot), the first pot 4 is inserted into the bottom of the machine head assembly in a horizontal direction. At the same time, the first trigger part 41 can pass through the first clearance hole 2101 to trigger the tilt trigger part 2312 to act. Only then can the heating element 22 be started and operated normally. When the heating element is facing up (used in conjunction with the second pot), the second pot 5 is placed on the machine head assembly from top to bottom. At the same time, the second trigger part 51 can pass through the second clearance hole 2102 to trigger the horizontal trigger part 2311 to act. Only then can the heating element 22 be started and operated normally. It can trigger the micro switch 232 to respond when the trigger part 231 can be rotated in both directions.

The housing 21 may also have a second clearance hole 2102 for accommodating the third trigger 61. This second clearance hole 2102 is located on the bottom surface of the housing 21, allowing it to pass through the second clearance hole 2102 to trigger the horizontal trigger 2311 when the safety bracket 6 is used in conjunction with the head assembly 2. The first clearance hole 2101 and the second clearance hole 2102 are interconnected. The safety protection switch 23 adopts the above structure. When the heating element is facing down (used in conjunction with the first pot), the first pot 4 is inserted into the bottom of the head assembly in a horizontal direction. At the same time, the first trigger part 41 can pass through the first clearance hole 2101 to trigger the tilt trigger part 2312 to act. Only then can the heating element 22 be started and operated normally. When the heating element is facing up (used in conjunction with the safety bracket 6), the safety bracket 6 is placed on the head assembly from top to bottom. At the same time, the third trigger part 61 can pass through the second clearance hole 2102 to trigger the horizontal trigger part 2311 to act. Only then can the heating element 22 be started and operated normally. Cooking can then be carried out using the third pot. It can trigger the micro switch 232 to respond when the trigger part 231 can be rotated in both directions.

[0023] In this embodiment, the safety bracket 6 includes: a ring-shaped frame 62, a plurality of positioning feet 63 on the frame 62, positioning grooves 2103 on the housing 21 corresponding one-to-one with the positioning feet 63, and a third trigger part 61 disposed on the frame 62.
