Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Aktenvernichter o. ä. Zerkleinerungsgeräte, bei denen das jeweilige Schneidwerk mit seinem Gehäuse auf einem Untergestell ruht und ein Schnittgutauffangbehälter von der Gerätevorderseite her unter das Schneidwerksgehäuse in das Untergestell einschiebbar ist sowie Zwangsführungselemente am Behälter und am Untergestell zur Positionierung des Behälters unter dem Schneidwerk dienen.The invention relates to a document shredder or the like. Shredding equipment, where the respective cutting unit with its housing resting on a base and one Cuttings collecting container from the front of the device below the cutting unit housing can be inserted into the base frame as well as positive guidance elements on the container and on Base for positioning the container under the Serve cutting unit.

Bei derartigen Konstruktionen sind einerseits enge Toleranzen zwischen Schnittgutsammelbehälter, dem Untergestell und dem Gehäuse des Schneidwerkes vorgesehen, um das Austreten von Schneidpartikeln und Schnittstaub in die Raumluft zu minimieren oder um ein Schaltelement sicher betätigen zu können.
So ist zum Beispiel aus der DE 296 04 761 U1 ein Schriftgutvernichter bekannt, bei dem das Schneidwerk mit seinem Gehäuse auf einem Untergestell, welches als Standfuß mit zwei vorderseitig über einen bodenseitigen Mittelschenkel verbundene L-förmige Streben gestaltet ist, ruht und ein Schnittgutauffangbehälter von der Gerätevorderseite her unter das Gehäuse des Schneidwerks in das Untergestell einschiebbar ist. Im Bodenbereich des Behälters und am Untergestell sind miteinander in Eingriff bringbare Zwangsführungselemente angeordnet. Dabei sind im Boden des Behälters zwei Ausnehmung jeweils in Form einer Führungsnut vorgesehen, die korrespondierend zu kufenförmigen Abschnitten, den Führungsteilen des Standfußes angeordnet sind.
Die Kufen sind nach oben gekröpfte, vom Boden beabstandete Abschnitte des Standfuß und verlaufen im Wesentlichen über die gesamte Tiefe des Standfußes. Im vorderen Bereich sind die Kufen wieder in Richtung Boden abgewinkelt und bilden ein Auflager.
Der Behälter ist so im Standfuß geführt und gehalten, dass dessen oberer Rand an der Unterseite des Gehäuses des Schneidwerkes genau anliegt, mit Ausnahme einer Öffnung im vorderen, oberen Abschnitt des Behälters, durch die zum Beispiel eine Zeitung oder anderes nicht zu zerkleinerndes blattförmiges Material in den Behälter eingeführt werden kann.
Im oberen, inneren Abschnitt des Behälters ist noch ein rippenartiger Nocken vorgesehen, der mit einem an bzw. in der Unterseite des Gehäuses angeordneten Sicherheitsschalter in Wirkverbindung steht.
Durch diese Bauart wird zwar mit verhältnismäßig geringem technische Aufwand eine gute Betätigung und Wirksamkeit des Sicherheitsschalters erzielt, jedoch ist zu dessen ständiger Verfügbarkeit der Umgebungsbereich des Sicherheitsschalters nach jeder Entleerung des Behälters gründlich von anhaftenden Schneidpartikeln oder Schneidstaub zu reinigen, da sonst Blockaden oder Fehlfunktionen des Sicherheitsschalters eintreten. Die ständig offene Einwurföffnung steht zudem im Widerspruch zu der ansonsten genauen Anlage des Gehäuses auf dem Behälter, weil durch diese unverschlossene Einwurföffnung Schneidstaub und Schneidpartikel in die Raumluft entweichen können. Zudem erschweren die engen Platzverhältnisse ein verkantungsfreies, leichtes Einsetzen des Behälters in das Untergestell nach dessen Entleerung. Zur Entnahme ist das Gehäuse mit einer Hand anzuheben und mit der anderen Hand der Behälter zu entnehmen.
In such constructions, on the one hand, close tolerances are provided between the clippings container, the underframe and the housing of the cutting unit in order to minimize the escape of cutting particles and cutting dust into the room air or to be able to actuate a switching element safely.
For example, a document shredder is known from DE 296 04 761 U1, in which the cutting unit rests with its housing on a base frame, which is designed as a base with two L-shaped struts connected on the front via a base-side central leg, and a clippings collecting container from the The front of the device can be inserted into the chassis under the housing of the cutting unit. In the bottom region of the container and on the base frame, positive guidance elements that can be brought into engagement with one another are arranged. In this case, two recesses are provided in the bottom of the container in the form of a guide groove, which are arranged corresponding to skid-shaped sections, the guide parts of the base.
The runners are cranked sections of the stand spaced from the floor and run essentially over the entire depth of the stand. In the front area, the runners are angled towards the floor again and form a support.
The container is guided and held in the stand in such a way that its upper edge lies precisely against the underside of the housing of the cutting unit, with the exception of an opening in the front, upper section of the container through which, for example, a newspaper or other sheet-like material that cannot be shredded can be inserted the container can be inserted.
In the upper, inner section of the container there is also a rib-like cam which is operatively connected to a safety switch arranged on or in the underside of the housing.
Although this type of construction achieves good operation and effectiveness of the safety switch with relatively little technical effort, the surrounding area of the safety switch must be thoroughly cleaned of adhering cutting particles or cutting dust after each emptying of the container, since otherwise blockages or malfunctions of the safety switch must be cleaned enter. The constantly open opening also contradicts the otherwise precise installation of the housing on the container, because cutting dust and cutting particles can escape into the room air through this unlocked opening. In addition, the limited space makes it difficult to tilt the container into the base frame easily after it has been emptied. To remove it, lift the housing with one hand and remove the container with the other hand.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Neuerung besteht deshalb darin, durch geeignete einfache Maßnahmen vornehmlich am Behälterund Untergestellboden die eingangs aufgeführten Unzulänglichkeiten zu beseitigen.The task of this innovation is therefore to through suitable simple measures, primarily on the container and Base shelf the listed at the beginning Eliminate shortcomings.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe generell durch die im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Mittel und Maßnahmen. Die Unteransprüche enthalten hierzu vorteilhafte bauliche Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen des neuen Raumformgedankens, der zudem anhand von Zeichnungen weitestgehend schematisch dargestellt und anhand dieser Darstellungen im folgenden noch im Detail und der Funktion her näher erläutert ist. This task is generally solved by the im Claim 1 specified means and measures. The Sub-claims contain advantageous structural Refinements and developments of the new The idea of spatial form, which is also based on drawings largely shown schematically and based on this Representations below in detail and function is explained in more detail.

Die Systemdarstellung nach Fig. 1 zeigt zunächst einmal rein schematisch bzw. anordnungsmäßig einen Aktenvernichter o.ä. Zerkleinerungsgeräte, bei denen das jeweilige Schneidwerk mitsamt seinem Gehäuse auf einem kasten- oder rahmenartigen Untergestell mit festem Boden ruht und der Behälter von der offenen Gerätevorderseite her unter das Schneidwerksgehäuse in das Untergestell eingeschoben ist.The system representation according to FIG. 1 first shows once purely schematically or in terms of arrangement Document shredder or similar Shredding equipment, where the respective cutting unit together with its housing on a box or frame-like base with a solid base rests and the container from the open front of the device forth under the cutting unit housing in the base frame is inserted.

Gemäß den Detaildarstellungen nach Fig. 2 und 3 liegt das Besondere der vorliegenden Neuerung generell darin, daß im Bodenbereich 4a und 3b von Behälter 4 und Untergestell 3 miteinander in Eingriff bringbare Zwangsführungselemente FN und FZ angeordnet sind, wobei in spezieller baulicher Ausgestaltung als Zwangsführungselement mindestens eine in den Be- hälterboden 4a eingebrachte Führungsnut FN und ein hierzu korrespondierender Führungszapfen FZ o. dgl. auf dem Boden 3b des Untergestells 3 dient. Für die praktische Ausführung sinnvoll ist allerdings die Anordnung der Zwangsführungselemente FN und FZ mit gegenseitigem Horizontalabstand auf beiden Seiten der Behälterböden 3b und 4a.According to the detailed representations according to FIGS. 2 and 3 what is special about this innovation in general in that in the bottom area 4a and 3b of container 4 and base 3 can be brought into engagement with one another Forced guidance elements FN and FZ arranged are, with a special structural design as a positive guidance element at least one in the Container bottom 4a introduced guide groove FN and a corresponding guide pin FZ o. The like. On the floor 3b of the base 3 is used. However, it makes sense for the practical implementation the arrangement of the positive guidance elements FN and FZ with mutual horizontal spacing on both sides the container bottoms 3b and 4a.

Damit das in der Aufgabenstellung eingangs genannte leichte und verkantungsfreie Einführen des Schnittgutauffangbehälters in das Untergestell optimal gewährleistet ist, sieht die Neuerung weiterhin vom Detail her noch vor, daß die zur Behälterrückseite 4b hin offene Führungsnut FN eine sich konisch verjüngende Einführzone EZ aufweist, an die sich ein parallelwandiger Zentrierkanal ZK und im weiteren Verlauf zur Behältervorderseite 4c hin eine nochmalige, konische Verjüngung KV zur eigentlichen Feinzentrierzone FZZ hin anschließt und die ebenfalls kanalartig ausgebildete Feinzentrierzone FZZ an ihrem Ende eine vom Behälterboden 4a aus aufsteigende Erweiterung H aufweist, die in der Behälterendlage (Fig. 1) haubenartig auf dem zugeordneten Führungszapfen FZ des Untergestellbodens 3b aufsitzt. Durch Zug an der Behältergriffschale 5 nach vorn in Pfeilrichtung P1 kann der Behälter 4 nun in eine leichte KippstellungSo that the easy and tilt-free insertion of the clippings collecting container into the base frame, which is mentioned in the task at the beginning, is optimally provided, the innovation also provides in detail that the guide groove FN, which is open towards the rear side 4b of the container, has a conically tapering insertion zone EZ, in which a parallel-walled centering channel ZK and in the further course to the front of the container 4c a further, conical taper KV connects to the actual fine centering zone FZZ and the channel-like fine centering zone FZZ has at its end an extension H rising from the container bottom 4a, which in the end position of the container (Fig 1) sits like a hood on the associated guide pin FZ of the base 3b. By pulling the container handle 5 forward in the direction of arrow P 1 , the container 4 can now be in a slight tilt position

K in Fig. 1 gebracht werden zum Einwerfen von nichtvertraulichem Schriftgut bzw. sonstigem Knüllpapier etc.K in Fig. 1 are brought in to throw in non-confidential items Documents or other crumpled paper etc.

Die Entnahme des Behälters 4 aus dem Untergestell 3 erfolgt durch leichtes Anheben desselben in Pfeilrichtung P2 in Fig. 1 ebenfalls an der Griffschale 5.The container 4 is removed from the underframe 3 by slightly lifting it in the direction of the arrow P 2 in FIG. 1, likewise on the handle shell 5.

Die in ihrem Querschnitt kanalartige Vorzentrierzone ZK, die zudem noch einen gegenüber dem Behälterboden 4a zur Behälterrückseite 4b hin leicht ansteigenden Verlauf AV aufweist, bewirkt beim Einsetzen bzw. Entnehmen des Schnittgutauffangbehälters 4, daß dieser auf dem Führungszapfen FZ gleitend etwas angehoben wird und somit nur geringen Schubwiderstand besitzt.The channel-like precentering zone ZK, which also one opposite the container bottom 4a Slightly rising towards the back of the container 4b Course AV, causes when inserted or Removing the clippings container 4 that this Sliding slightly raised on the guide pin FZ is and thus has only low thrust resistance.

Letztlich wichtig für die Gesamtfunktion ist noch, daß an einer der Behälterseiten im oberen vorderen Bereich eine sog. Schaltfahne angebracht ist, die im Zusammenwirken mit einem Endschalter eine Antriebsstillsetzung der Schneidwalzen 1 bewirkt, wenn der Schnittgutauffangbehälter 4 gemäß Pfeilrichtung P2 (in Fig. 1) aus dem nach vorn 3a hin offenen Untergestell 3 entnommen wird.Ultimately, it is still important for the overall function that a so-called switching flag is attached to one of the container sides in the upper front area, which, in cooperation with a limit switch, causes the cutting rollers 1 to stop when the clippings collecting container 4 according to arrow direction P 2 (in FIG. 1 ) is removed from the base frame 3, which is open towards the front 3a.

In gleicher Weise wirkt die Schaltfahne auch, wenn zum Einwerfen von Knüllpapier oder anderen nichtvertraulichen Unterlagen der Behälter 4 gemäß Pfeilrichtung P1 aus seiner Endposition (Fig. 1) nach vorn herausgekippt wird; bei diesem Bewegungsvorgang wirken die Führungszapfen FZ als Drehpunkte und der hintere Behälterrand als Begrenzungsanschlag für die Kippbewegung, wodurch der Behälter 4 nach dem Loslassen von allein wieder in seine ursprüngliche Position zurückfällt. The switching flag also acts in the same way if the container 4 is tipped forward from its end position (FIG. 1) in accordance with the direction of the arrow P 1 in order to insert crumpled paper or other non-confidential documents; During this movement process, the guide pins FZ act as pivot points and the rear edge of the container acts as a limit stop for the tilting movement, as a result of which the container 4 automatically falls back into its original position after being released.
