A sliding rack which can be moved up and down is provided within a housing of the toaster, and the sliding rack is connected with a toast rack. An end of the toast rack is fixedly connected to an end of a bracket, an assembly composed of the toast rack and the bracket is hinged to the sliding rack, an end portion of the bracket is connected with the sliding rack through a spring, and a sensor is fixed to the toaster for sensing the angular displacement of the assembly. One end of the bracket is hinged to the sliding rack and the other end thereof is connected with the sliding rack through the spring. Compared with the prior art, the toast rack of the present invention can be driven to rotate upwards at a certain angle about a center defined by the hinged point under the resilient force of a spring. When a bread slice is disposed into the toast rack, the toast rack is reset. The sensor can obtain a signal indicating the reset of the toast rack and transmit the signal to a control chip to control the automatic actuating mechanism of the toaster. The toaster of the present invention is simple in structure and safe in use, and is of low cost.
