Der Teilbereich 14 weist einen Sensorbereich 20 auf (vgl.
Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel umfasst die Kochfeldvorrichtung 10 zwei Infrarot-Sensoren 24. Von den Infrarot-Sensoren 24 wird im Folgenden lediglich einer beschrieben. Der Infrarot-Sensor 24 detektiert eine Temperatur von in dem Teilbereich 14 aufgestelltem Gargeschirr 18. Der Infrarot-Sensor 24 ist zu einer Detektion einer Temperatur des aufgestellten Gargeschirrs 18 vorgesehen. Der Infrarot-Sensor 24 und der Sensor 36 sind einstückig ausgebildet.In the present exemplary embodiment, the
Der Infrarot-Sensor 24 ist zu einer Detektion von in dem Teilbereich 14 aufgestelltem Gargeschirr 18 vorgesehen. Beispielsweise könnte die Kochfeldvorrichtung zumindest eine Lichtquelle aufweisen, welche in der Einbaulage unterhalb der Kochfeldplatte angeordnet sein könnte und welche elektromagnetische Strahlung in Richtung der Kochfeldplatte emittieren könnte, wobei die von der Lichtquelle emittierte elektromagnetische Strahlung im Fall wenigstens eines aufgestellten Gargeschirrs am Boden des aufgestellten Gargeschirrs reflektiert und von dem Infrarot-Sensor gemessen werden könnte. Alternativ oder zusätzlich könnte der Infrarot-Sensor im Fall wenigstens eines aufgestellten Gargeschirrs eine Änderung einer Charakteristik eines durch den Infrarot-Sensor detektierten elektromagnetischen Strahlungsspektrums und damit insbesondere eine Anwesenheit des aufgestellten Gargeschirrs detektieren.The infrared sensor 24 is provided for detecting
