To provide a heating type sample analyzing apparatus for surely taking a crucible and responding to an unexpected error at low cost and with a simple constitution, when a constitution is employed where the crucible is taken out of a crucible storage vessel for storing a plurality of crucibles using a conveying mechanism and conveyed to a predetermined heating position in order to fully automate the analysis work.

This heating type sample analyzing apparatus has a detecting means 7 for detecting whether the crucible 81 exists in a part whose taking rank is set at the initial rank in the crucible storage vessel 3. When the detecting means 7 detects the crucible 81 of the initial rank exists, the rank of the crucible 81 stored in the conveying mechanism 2 is reset, the conveying mechanism 2 is set in a predetermined waiting state in start or error occurrence, then the waiting state is released on condition that the detecting means 7 detects the crucible 81 of the initial rank exists.
