ンサベース４はネソ１−カバー５でおおわれている。Conventional structure and its problems In conventional heating v111 ovens that are capable of automatic cooking, for example, a humidity sensor is used in some parts to detect the progress of heating the food. The heating is controlled by so-called value control, which detects the steam emitted from the food being heated and adds heat for a time KTl, which is the heating time T1 required for this multiplied by a constant K determined by the food. There is. 1st
The figure is a perspective view of such a sensor. A heater 2 is arranged around a humidity-sensitive ceramic 1, and a comb lead part supports each two leads. The sensor base 4 supporting the lead 4 is covered with a cover 5.

When the humidity inside the refrigerator changes to HB due to the steam produced by heating the food, the resistance value becomes )tB, which is used as the detection point, and the control circuit controls the heating means.

防げる。Conventional humidity sensors often generate condensation on the surface of the sensor base 4, significantly reducing its surface resistance. It has been confirmed that condensation easily occurs due to sudden changes in the weather or when the refrigerator is left with sufficient steam inside. Since the ceramic material or thermoplastic material constituting the sensor base is hydrophilic, even slight dirt on the surface creates a surface condition with low surface tension. Therefore, the entire surface is likely to get wet, worsening the insulation resistance between the comb leads, and preventing the sensor resistance from correctly transmitting humidity information to the controller.

１トでき有効な提案であった。As a result, automatic cooking was often disrupted. As a way to solve the problem, the inventor proposed the following method as shown in Figure 3.
A proposal was made to form a water-resistant film 8 on the surface of the sensor base. This proposal prevents normal dew condensation from significantly deteriorating the surface resistance of the sensor base surface because the dew condensation takes the form of droplets and only part of the surface is covered with droplets. It was an effective proposal.

It is possible to achieve a sufficiently high surface resistance even against condensation of a scale that deteriorates the insulation between terminals, and eliminates the conventional situation where humidity cannot be detected due to condensation.
This has the effect of stably controlling humidity.

A heater 2 is arranged surrounding the humidity sensitive ceramic 1, and each lead is electrically and mechanically connected and supported by the comb lead 4. The present invention can be achieved by further forming a water-resistant film on the surface of the sensor base 4 in addition to this configuration.
