Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 auf eine Antriebsvorrichtung für die Messerwalzen eines Aktenvernichters, bestehend aus einem Elektromotor mit Untersetzungsgetriebe und einer sog. Überholkupplung in Form eines Mitnehmerstiftes an einem Ende einer der Wellen der Messerwalzen, in dessen Drehebene an dem auf dem gleichen Wellenende sitzenden Antriebsrad ein Anschlag mit zwei Anschlagflächen vorgesehen ist.According to the preamble of claim 1, the invention relates to a drive device for the knife rollers of a document shredder, consisting of an electric motor with a reduction gear and a so-called overrunning clutch in the form of a driving pin at one end of one of the shafts of the knife rollers, in the plane of rotation of which on the same shaft end seated drive wheel a stop with two stop surfaces is provided.

Neben mit konzentrisch angeordneten Aussparungen gemäß der DE-C-924 507 versehenen Sperrscheibenkupplungen allgemeiner Art ist ein derartiger, mit einer Überholkupplung ausgerüsteter Aktenvernichterantrieb speziell aus der gattungsbildenden DE-B-16 11 752 bekannt und dient hierbei vor allem dazu, bei Betriebsstörungen durch Verstopfungen oder Verklemmungen von Schnittgut, für das Freilaufen der Messerwalzen im Rückwärtsgang sowie das Wiederanlaufen im Vorwärtsgang unter Last, stets ein ausreichendes Drehmoment zur Verfügung zu haben. Das bekannte, aus Zahnriemen und entspr. Riemenscheiben aufgebaute Untersetzungsgetriebe weist zu diesem Zweck einen am Ende einer der Messerwalzenwellen sitzenden Stift auf, der mit einem in seiner Drehebene an der zugeordneten Riemenscheibe befestigten Anschlag mit zwei Anschlagflächen zusammenwirkt. Eine derartige Überholkupplung mag zwar durchaus zufriedenstellend bei mit Zahnriemen bestückten Untersetzungsgetrieben arbeiten, nicht jedoch bei solchen, die im wesentlichen aus Zahnrädern bestehen, zumal wenn es sich noch um preiswerte Räder aus Kunststoff handelt, die heute mehr und mehr bei Großserienfertigung Verwendung finden. Hier nämlich würde die aus der unsymmetrischen Belastung durch den Kupplungsstift zwangsläufig resultierende Kippung des betreffenden Zahnrades gegenüber dem zugeordneten Ritzel zu punktförmigen Belastungen der Zähne und deren erhöhtem Verschleiß, wenn nicht sogar deren Zerstörung führen.In addition to locking disc clutches of a general type provided with concentrically arranged cutouts in accordance with DE-C-924 507, such a document shredder drive equipped with an overrunning clutch is known specifically from the generic DE-B-16 11 752 and is used primarily for malfunctions due to blockages or Jamming of clippings, for the free running of the knife rollers in the reverse gear and the restart in the forward gear under load, always to have sufficient torque available. For this purpose, the known reduction gear, made up of toothed belts and corresponding pulleys, has a pin located at the end of one of the knife roller shafts, which cooperates with a stop with two stop faces attached in its plane of rotation to the associated pulley. Such an overrunning clutch may work quite satisfactorily with reduction gears equipped with toothed belts, but not with those that essentially consist of gear wheels, especially when it comes to inexpensive plastic wheels that are used more and more in mass production today. Here, namely, the inevitable result of the asymmetrical loading of the coupling pin tilting of the gear in question relative to the associated pinion to point loads on the teeth and their increased wear, if not even their destruction.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht deshalb auch darin, bauliche Mittel und Maßnahmen vorzusehen, die die zuvor erwähnte Gefahr einer Kippung mit Sicherheit ausschließen.The object of the present invention is therefore also to construct means and measures to be provided which definitely exclude the aforementioned risk of tipping.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe dabei durch die im einzigen Patentanspruch niedergelegte Bauform, die im folgenden anhand eines zeichnerischen Ausführungsbeispiels noch näher erläutert ist. Es zeigen

Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform sind die Messerwalzen 11 z.B. über Kugellager 17 in den Seitenteilen 1 gelagert, die zusammen mit dem Boden 2 und den Querstreben 4 den Gestellrahmen des Aktenvernichterantriebs bilden. An dem dargestellten Seitenteil 1 sitzt zudem der elektrische Antriebsmotor 5 in Form eines Reversiermotors und ein Lagerschild 3 zur Halterung eines Zahnrades 7, das mit dem Antriebsritzel 6 des Motors 5 kämmt. Ein mit dem Zahnrad 7 drehfest verbundenes Zwischenritzel 8 steht seinerseits mit einem lose auf der zapfenartigen Verlängerung 12a einer der Messerwalzenwellen 12 sitzenden Zwischenrad 9 in Verbindung und vervollständigt somit das Untersetzungsgetriebe für die über das Räderpaar 10 in gegenläufiger Antriebsverbindung stehenden Messerwalzen.In the embodiment shown, the knife rollers 11 are, for example, via ball bearings 17 in the Mounted side parts 1, which together with the bottom 2 and the cross struts 4 form the frame of the document shredder drive. In addition, the electric drive motor 5 in the form of a reversing motor and a bearing plate 3 for holding a toothed wheel 7, which meshes with the drive pinion 6 of the motor 5, are seated on the side part 1 shown. An intermediate pinion 8, which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the gearwheel 7, is in turn connected to an intermediate wheel 9 which is loosely seated on the pin-like extension 12a of one of the knife roller shafts 12 and thus completes the reduction gear for the knife rollers which are in opposite drive connection via the pair of wheels 10.

Die eigentliche Überholkupplung besteht nun darin, daß die beiden Planseiten 9a und 9b des Zwischenrades 9 im Nabenbereich Aussparungen 14 und diese beidseits begrenzenden Anschlagflächen 15 und 16 aufweisen und die Antriebswellenverlängerung 12a der zugehörigen Messerwalzenwelle 12 zugeordnete Mitnehmerstifte 13 aufweist, die mit den Aussparungen 14 und Anschlagflächen 15 und 16 korrespondieren.The actual overrunning clutch now consists in the fact that the two flat sides 9a and 9b of the intermediate wheel 9 have recesses 14 in the hub region and these stop surfaces 15 and 16 delimiting them on both sides, and the drive shaft extension 12a of the associated cutter roller shaft 12 has driving pins 13 which are associated with the recesses 14 and stop surfaces 15 and 16 correspond.

Die Funktionsweise dieser Vorrichtung ist nun folgende:
Kommt der Motor 5 z.B. durch irgend eine Verstopfung der Messerwalzen 11 in bekannter Weise zum Stillstand, wird der Motorrücklauf eingeschaltet. Die zuvor beispielsweise an den Anschlagflächen 15 anliegenden Mitnehmerstifte 13 laufen dann durch den Freiraum der Aussparungen 14 zurück und der Motor erreicht wieder sein volles Drehmoment, ehe die Stifte 13 an die Flächen 16 anschlagen und somit zumeist die Verstopfung sofort lösen. Die beste Wirkung wird bei dieser neuen Bauform noch durch zusätzliche, rotationssymmetrische Anordnung der Kupplungsglieder 13 bis 16 auf beiden Planseiten 9a und 9b des betreffenden Zahnrads 9 erreicht.The operation of this device is now as follows:
If the motor 5 comes to a standstill, for example due to any blockage of the knife rollers 11, the motor return is switched on. The driver pins 13, which previously rested, for example, on the stop surfaces 15, then run back through the free space of the cutouts 14 and the motor reaches its full torque again before the pins 13 strike the surfaces 16 and thus usually immediately solve the blockage. The best effect is achieved in this new design by additional, rotationally symmetrical arrangement of the coupling members 13 to 16 on both plan sides 9a and 9b of the gear 9 in question.
