Insofern sind diese zum einen wartungsintensiv durch die notwendige regelmäßige Überprüfung der unter Druck stehenden Komponenten und trotzdem reparaturanfällig. Aufgrund des Einsatzes von umweltgefährdeten Betriebsstoffen in solchen Systemen erfordern diese ferner einen regelmäßigen Austausch der Hydraulikschläuche, darüber hinaus ist der Wirkungsgrad eines solchen Antriebssystems vermindert.A disadvantage of such hydraulic drive systems for the feed device of known comminution devices is, on the one hand, the presence of many hydraulic interfaces on pipe and line connections with the associated frequent leaks during the operation of such systems. In this respect, these are maintenance-intensive on the one hand due to the necessary regular inspection of the pressurized components and are nevertheless prone to repairs. Due to the use of environmentally hazardous operating materials in such systems, these also require regular replacement of the hydraulic hoses, and the efficiency of such a drive system is reduced.

Insofern liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung mit einer Vorschubeinrichtung bereitzustellen, welche die obenstehend beschriebenen Nachteile herkömmlicher Zerkleinerungsvorrichtungen zumindest teilweise behebt.In this respect, the object of the present invention is to provide a comminution device with a feed device which at least partially eliminates the above-described disadvantages of conventional comminution devices.

Diese Aufgabe löst die Erfindung mit einer Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1. Die erfindungsgemäße Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Antriebseinrichtung der Vorschubeinrichtung zumindest zwei, insbesondere parallel zur Längsrichtung des Zerkleinerungsrotors, beabstandete und mittels einer Steuereinrichtung angesteuerte Elektro-Aktuatoren aufweist, die abtriebsseitig mittels einer sich insbesondere parallel zum Rotor erstreckenden Traverse verbunden sind, wobei die Traverse über eine federelastische Dämpfungseinrichtung in Wirkverbindung mit der Stempeleinrichtung steht, insbesondere zur Übertragung einer in Richtung zum Zerkleinerungsrotor gerichteten Kraft von der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung auf die Stempeleinrichtung.The invention solves this problem with a comminution device having the features of claim 1. The comminution device according to the invention is characterized in that the drive device of the feed device has at least two electric actuators which are spaced apart, in particular parallel to the longitudinal direction of the comminution rotor, and are controlled by a control device are connected on the output side by means of a traverse extending in particular parallel to the rotor, the traverse is in operative connection with the plunger device via a spring-elastic damping device, in particular for the transmission of a force directed in the direction of the comminution rotor from the traverse of the drive device to the plunger device.

Der erfindungsgemäßen Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung liegt die grundlegende Idee zugrunde, für die Antriebseinrichtung der Vorschubeinrichtung einen Antrieb mit durchgängiger, mechanischer Kraftübertragung, ausgehend von einem Elektromotor vorzusehen. Dabei kann der Antrieb der Vorschubeinrichtung zur temporären Energieaufnahme durch Anordnung einer federelastischen Dämpfungseinrichtung ausgebildet sein, wobei die potentielle federelastische Energie wieder abgegeben werden kann zur Bewegung der Stempeleinrichtung. Im Gegensatz zu den öl-hydraulischen Systemen der Vorschubeinrichtung herkömmlicher Zerkleinerungsvorrichtungen kann mit der erfindungsgemäßen Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung ein in Bezug auf die Antriebseinrichtung der Vorschubeinrichtung leckagefreier Antrieb mit verbessertem Wirkungsgrad bereitgestellt werden, wodurch darüber hinaus auf den Einsatz umweltgefährdender Betriebsstoffe verzichtet und der Wartungsaufwand erheblich reduziert werden kann. Dadurch, dass zwischen der Stempeleinrichtung und der Antriebseinrichtung eine federelastische Dämpfungseinrichtung zur Kraftübertragung geschaltet ist, können Bauteil der Aktuatoren wie Elektromotor und/oder Getriebeelemente bei stoßartigen Belastungen im Betrieb vor einer Überlast geschützt werden.The comminution device according to the invention is based on the basic idea of providing a drive for the drive device of the feed device with continuous, mechanical power transmission, starting from an electric motor. In this case, the drive of the feed device for temporary energy absorption can be designed by arranging a spring-elastic damping device, with the potential spring-elastic energy being released again for moving the stamping device. In contrast to the oil-hydraulic systems of the feed device of conventional comminution devices, the comminution device according to the invention can be used to provide a leak-free drive with improved efficiency in relation to the drive device of the feed device, which also means that the use of environmentally hazardous operating materials can be dispensed with and the maintenance effort can be significantly reduced. Since a spring-elastic damping device for power transmission is connected between the stamping device and the drive device, components of the actuators such as the electric motor and/or transmission elements can be protected against overload in the event of sudden loads during operation.

Die Angabe "Stempeleinrichtung" oder Stempel wird auf dem Gebiet auch als "Schiebereinrichtung" oder Schieber bezeichnet und kann allgemein eine Einrichtung meinen, die ausgebildet ist, eine Kraft auf das Zerkleinerungsgut auszuüben zum Bewegen desselben in Richtung zum Zerkleinerungsrotor. Der obenstehend angegebene Aufnahmebereich zur Aufnahme von Zerkleinerungsgut kann auch als Zerkleinerungsraum bezeichnet werden. Die Angabe "Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung" kann allgemein als Verbindungselement verstanden werden, welches die zumindest beiden Aktuatoren abtriebsseitig miteinander koppelt. Im Rahmen der Erfindung kann das Verbindungselement ausgebildet sein eine formschlüssige, kraftschlüssige oder stoffschlüssige Verbindung zwischen der Mehrzahl von Elektro-Aktuatoren bereitzustellen. Insbesondere bei einer linear beweglich angeordneten und angetriebenen Stempeleinrichtung kann vorgesehen sein, dass sich das Verbindungselement etwa parallel zur Längsrichtung des Rotors erstreckt, wobei die zumindest beiden Elektro-Aktuatoren sich etwa senkrecht zur Längsrichtung des Rotors erstrecken können und in Längsrichtung des Zerkleinerungsrotors zueinander beabstandet am Maschinengestell der Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung befestigt sein können. Dabei kann vorgesehen sein, dass die zumindest beiden Elektro-Aktuatoren die Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung etwa senkrecht und synchron zur Achse des Zerkleinerungsrotors linear bewegen.In general, an electric actuator is understood to mean an electric motor gear unit which, depending on the embodiment, can also have a plurality of gear and/or clutch elements connected in series. The term "stamp device" or stamp is also referred to as "slide device" in the field or slide and can generally mean a device which is designed to exert a force on the material to be comminuted in order to move it in the direction of the comminution rotor. The receiving area specified above for receiving material to be comminuted can also be referred to as the comminution space. The statement "traverse of the drive device" can generally be understood as a connecting element which couples the at least two actuators to one another on the output side. Within the scope of the invention, the connecting element can be designed to provide a positive, non-positive or material connection between the plurality of electric actuators. In particular in the case of a linearly movably arranged and driven stamping device, it can be provided that the connecting element extends approximately parallel to the longitudinal direction of the rotor, with the at least two electric actuators being able to extend approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the rotor and spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the comminuting rotor on the machine frame can be attached to the crushing device. It can be provided that the at least two electric actuators linearly move the traverse of the drive device approximately perpendicularly and synchronously to the axis of the comminution rotor.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung und weitere erfindungsgemäße Merkmale sind in der nachfolgenden allgemeinen Beschreibung, den Figuren, der Figurenbeschreibung sowie den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous developments of the invention and further features according to the invention are specified in the following general description, the figures, the description of the figures and the dependent claims.

Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Anordnung der federelastischen Dämpfungseinrichtung zwischen der Traverse bzw. dem Verbindungselement der Antriebseinrichtung und der Stempeleinrichtung so gestaltet ist, dass durch die federelastisehe Dämpfungseinrichtung eine Wirkverbindung sowohl bei einer Bewegung der Stempeleinrichtung in Richtung zum Rotor als auch in Richtung weg vom Rotor bereitgestellt ist. "Wirkverbindung" meint allgemein eine Verbindung zur Übertragung von Kräften und/oder Drehmomenten. Es kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass die durch die federelastische Dämpfungseinrichtung bereitgestellte Wirkverbindung zwischen Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung und der Stempeleinrichtung allein beim Antreiben bzw. dem Bewegen der Stempeleinrichtung in Richtung zum Rotor, jedoch nicht bei der Bewegung der Stempeleinrichtung durch Antreiben über die Traverse weg vom Rotor eingestellt ist, d.h. dass die durch die federelastische Dämpfungseinrichtung bereitgestellte Wirkverbindung richtungsabhängig eingerichtet sein kann.It can be provided that the arrangement of the spring-elastic damping device between the traverse or the connecting element of the drive device and the stamping device is designed in such a way that the spring-elastic damping device Damping device is provided an operative connection both in a movement of the punch device in the direction of the rotor and in the direction away from the rotor. "Active connection" generally means a connection for the transmission of forces and/or torques. It can also be provided that the operative connection provided by the spring-elastic damping device between the traverse of the drive device and the stamping device only when driving or moving the stamping device in the direction of the rotor, but not during the movement of the stamping device by driving via the traverse away from the rotor is set, ie that the operative connection provided by the spring-elastic damping device can be set up as a function of direction.

Zur Übertragung von Kräften bzw. Momenten bei der Bewegung der Stempeleinrichtung weg vom Zerkleinerungsrotor, , kann erfindungsgemäß neben der federelastische Dämpfungseinrichtung ein weiteres Kopplungs- oder Verbindungselement vorgesehen sein, das eine Wirkverbindung zwischen Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung und der Stempeleinrichtung bereitstellt, wobei das weitere Kopplungs- oder Verbindungselement eine Wirkverbindung bei einer Bewegung der Stempeleinrichtung in die besagte entgegengesetzte Richtung (relativ zur Stempelbewegung auf den Zerkleinerungsrotor hin) bereitstellt. Ein solches weiteres, zwischen Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung und der Stempeleinrichtung angeordnetes Kopplungs- oder Verbindungselement kann insbesondere eine Zugankereinrichtung sein, welche ausgebildet ist, allein die Kraft zum Zurückziehen der Stempeleinrichtung vom Rotor zu übertragen, jedoch zumindest über einen vorgegebenen relativen Verschiebeweg zwischen Stempeleinrichtung und Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung keine Wirkverbindung zum Nachvornebewegen der Stempeleinrichtung in Richtung zum Zerkleinerungsrotor bereitzustellen.In order to transmit forces or torques during the movement of the plunger device away from the comminution rotor, , according to the invention, in addition to the spring-elastic damping device, a further coupling or connecting element can be provided which provides an operative connection between the traverse of the drive device and the plunger device, with the further coupling or Connecting element provides an operative connection during a movement of the stamp device in said opposite direction (relative to the stamp movement towards the crushing rotor). Such a further coupling or connecting element arranged between the traverse of the drive device and the ram device can, in particular, be a tie rod device which is designed solely to transmit the force for retracting the ram device from the rotor, but at least over a predetermined relative displacement path between the ram device and the traverse of the Drive means provide no operative connection for moving forward the stamp means in the direction of the crushing rotor.

Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Aufnahme- bzw. Zerkleinerungsraum durch Abschnitte der Stempeleinrichtung, insbesondere ein Stempel-Plattenbereich bzw. eine Stempelplatte beschränkbar ist bzw. diese Abschnitte der Stempeleinrichtung Beschränkungsabschnitte des Aufnahmebereichs bzw. Zerkleinerungsraums der Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung darstellen. Die Stempeleinrichtung kann auf einem den Aufnahmebereich bzw. den Zerkleinerungsraum begrenzenden Bodenabschnitt beweglich, insbesondere linear beweglich angeordnet bzw. zwangsgeführt sein, wobei sich die Stempeleinrichtung beispielsweise mittels einer Rollenabstützung vom Bodenabschnitt abstützen kann. Hierzu kann die Stempeleinrichtung an ihrer zum Bodenabschnitt gewandten Unterseite beispielsweise eine Mehrzahl von Radelementen bzw. Räder umfassen, die eingerichtet sind, an diesem Bodenabschnitt abzurollen.It can be provided that the receiving or comminuting space can be restricted by sections of the stamping device, in particular a stamping plate area or a stamping plate, or these sections of the stamping device represent restricting sections of the receiving area or comminuting space of the comminuting device. The stamping device can be movably arranged or positively guided on a floor section delimiting the receiving area or the comminution space, in particular linearly movable, with the stamping device being able to be supported by the floor section, for example by means of a roller support. For this purpose, the stamping device can comprise, for example, a plurality of wheel elements or wheels on its underside facing the base section, which are set up to roll on this base section.

Eine Zwangsführung der Stempeleinrichtung kann beispielsweise bei der Einrichtung einer linearen Bewegung der Stempeleinrichtung in Richtung zum Zerkleinerungsrotor durch z.B. etwa senkrecht zur Längsachse des Zerkleinerungsrotors verlaufende, zueinander beabstandete Seitenabschnitte des Maschinengestells der Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung bereitgestellt werden, wobei Innenflächen dieser Seitenabschnitte vorzugsweise über eine Wirkungsbreite des Zerkleinerungsrotors beabstandet sein können und den Aufnahmeraum begrenzen. Die Stempeleinrichtung kann eine Wirkbreite aufweisen, welche im Wesentlichen gleich der Wirkbreite des Zerkleinerungsrotors ist. Als Wirkbreite ist dabei die Erstreckung gemeint, über welche der Rotor eine Zerkleinerung des Zerkleinerungsgutes durchführt bzw. die Stempeleinrichtung eine Zuführung des Zerkleinerungsgutes in Richtung des Zerkleinerungsrotors bewirken kann.Forced guidance of the stamping device can be provided, for example, when setting up a linear movement of the stamping device in the direction of the comminuting rotor, for example by spaced-apart side sections of the machine frame of the comminuting device running approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the comminuting rotor, with inner surfaces of these side sections preferably being spaced over an effective width of the comminuting rotor can and limit the recording space. The stamp device can have an effective width which is essentially equal to the effective width of the comminution rotor. The effective width is the extent over which the rotor carries out a comminution of the material to be comminuted or the plunger device can cause the material to be comminuted to be fed in the direction of the comminution rotor.

Zur Kopplung der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung und der Stempeleinrichtung kann wie beschrieben vorgesehen sein, dass die Traverse, die federelastische Dämpfungseinrichtung und die Stempeleinrichtung so zueinander angeordnet sind, dass die unter Vermittlung der federelastischen Dämpfungseinrichtung realisierte Wirkverbindung zwischen Traverse und Stempeleinrichtung bei einer Bewegung der Stempeleinrichtung in Richtung zum Zerkleinerungsrotors bereitgestellt und bei einer Bewegung der Stempeleinrichtung in entgegengesetzter Richtung aufgehoben ist. Eine solche Kopplung zwischen Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung und der Stempeleinrichtung kann insbesondere in solchen Ausführungsformen zweckmäßig sein, bei welchen die federelastische Dämpfungseinrichtung ein unterschiedliches Verhalten in Bezug auf Druck- und Zugbelastungen aufweist. Insbesondere in einem solchen Fall kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Wirkverbindung zwischen der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung und der Stempeleinrichtung bei der Bewegung der Traverse in zwei entgegengesetzte Richtungen durch unterschiedliche Kopplungseinrichtungen bereitgestellt wird, beispielsweise in eine Richtung hin zum Rotor mittels einer schon beschriebenen federelastischen Dämpfungseinrichtung und in die entgegengesetzte Richtung mittels einer starren Kopplung, die beispielsweise ab Erreichen einer vorgegebenen Beabstandung zwischen der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung der Vorschubeinrichtung und der Stempeleinrichtung wirkt und bei einer geringeren Beabstandung zwischen der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung und der Stempeleinrichtung eine freie Beweglichkeit zwischen Stempeleinrichtung und Antriebseinrichtung zulässt.In order to couple the traverse of the drive device and the stamping device, it can be provided, as described, that the traverse, the spring-elastic damping device and the stamping device are arranged in relation to one another in such a way that the operative connection between the traverse and stamping device, which is established by means of the spring-elastic damping device, occurs when the stamping device moves in the direction provided to the comminution rotor and canceled when the stamping device moves in the opposite direction. Such a coupling between the traverse of the drive device and the stamping device can be expedient in particular in those embodiments in which the spring-elastic damping device exhibits different behavior with regard to compressive and tensile loads. In such a case in particular, it can be provided that the operative connection between the traverse of the drive device and the stamping device is provided by different coupling devices during the movement of the traverse in two opposite directions, for example in a direction towards the rotor by means of an already described spring-elastic damping device and in the opposite direction by means of a rigid coupling, which acts, for example, once a predetermined spacing has been reached between the traverse of the drive device, the feed device and the stamping device and, with a smaller spacing between the traverse of the drive device and the stamping device, allows free mobility between the stamping device and the drive device.

Zur Kopplung der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung mit der Stempeleinrichtung kann vorgesehen sein, dass letztere eine zugeordnete und auch als Kopplungsplatte bezeichnete Kopplungstraverse, die sich insbesondere parallel zur Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung erstrecken kann, aufweist, wobei die Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung über die federelastischen Dämpfungseinrichtung mit der zugeordneten Kopplungstraverse der Stempeleinrichtung gekoppelt sein kann, derartig, dass sich die federelastische Dämpfungseinrichtung in zumindest einer relativen Betriebsstellung der beiden Traversen zueinander an beiden Traversen abstützt. Eine solche Betriebsstellung bzw. Betriebssituation kann beispielsweise eine sein, bei welcher die Stempeleinrichtung durch entsprechendes Bewegen der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung in Richtung zum Zerkleinerungsrotor bewegt wird. Eine solche Betriebssituation kann sich insbesondere dadurch auszeichnen, dass Energie in der federelastischen Dämpfungseinrichtung gespeichert wird, die genutzt werden kann, um trotz abgeschaltetem Motor des jeweiligen Aktuators einen Anpressdruck auf die Stempeleinrichtung auszuüben bzw. in einer nachfolgenden Betriebssituation diese Energie zu nutzen, um die Stempeleinrichtung in Richtung zum Zerkleinerungsrotor zu bewegen. Durch die beschriebene Gestaltung der Vorschubeinrichtung wird eine höhere Flexibilität bei der Ansteuerung der Antriebseinrichtung der Vorschubeinrichtung zur Optimierung des Zerkleinerungsvorganges beim Betrieb der erfindungsgemäßen Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung bereitgestellt.To couple the traverse of the drive device to the stamping device, it can be provided that the latter has an associated coupling traverse, also referred to as a coupling plate, which can in particular extend parallel to the crossbar of the drive device, wherein the crossbar of the drive device can be coupled via the spring-elastic damping device to the associated coupling crossbar of the stamping device, such that the spring-elastic damping device is in at least one relative operating position of the two crossbars to each other on both trusses. Such an operating position or operating situation can be, for example, one in which the stamping device is moved in the direction of the comminution rotor by correspondingly moving the traverse of the drive device. Such an operating situation can be characterized in particular by the fact that energy is stored in the spring-elastic damping device, which can be used to exert contact pressure on the stamping device despite the motor of the respective actuator being switched off, or to use this energy in a subsequent operating situation to push the stamping device to move towards the crushing rotor. The design of the feed device described above provides greater flexibility when controlling the drive device of the feed device in order to optimize the comminution process when the comminuting device according to the invention is operated.

Je nach Betrieb der erfindungsgemäßen Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung kann auch die Einrichtung eines Rückziehens der Stempeleinrichtung bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zur Erhöhung einer Beabstandung der Stempeleinrichtung zum Zerkleinerungsrotor zweckmäßig sein, insbesondere zum Neubefüllen des Zerkleinerungsraums. Insofern kann vorteilhafterweise vorgesehen sein, dass zwischen der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung und der Stempeleinrichtung, insbesondere zwischen der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung und der Kopplungstraverse der Stempeleinrichtung ein Mitnahmeelement wie ein Zuganker angeordnet ist. Ein solcher Zuganker kann beispielsweise einen oder mehrere Mitnahmebolzen umfassen zum Bewegen der Stempeleinrichtung weg vom Zerkleinerungsrotor durch entsprechendes Ansteuern der Antriebseinrichtung der Vorschubeinrichtung, wobei ein vorgegebener Freilauf zwischen der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung und der Stempeleinrichtung eingerichtet sein kann. Die Angabe Freilauf meint dabei, dass die Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung bis zu einer vorgegebenen Schwellstrecke weg von der Stempeleinrichtung bewegt werden kann, bevor eine Mitnahme der Stempeleinrichtung erfolgt.Depending on the operation of the comminution device according to the invention, it can also be expedient to retract the plunger device in the device according to the invention to increase the distance between the plunger device and the comminution rotor, in particular for refilling the comminution space. In this respect, it can advantageously be provided that between the traverse of the drive device and the stamping device, in particular between the traverse of the drive device and the coupling traverse a driver element such as a tie rod is arranged in the stamping device. Such a tie rod can, for example, comprise one or more driving bolts for moving the stamp device away from the crushing rotor by correspondingly controlling the drive device of the feed device, with a predetermined freewheel being able to be set up between the traverse of the drive device and the stamp device. The indication of free running means that the traverse of the drive device can be moved away from the stamping device up to a predetermined swelling distance before the stamping device is carried along.

Zweckmäßigerweise kann das Mitnahmeelement so zwischen der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung und der Stempeleinrichtung angeordnet sein, dass es das Aufeinanderzubewegen erlaubt und ein relatives Voneinanderwegbewegen bei Erreichen einer vorgegebenen Beabstandung blockiert.The entrainment element can expediently be arranged between the traverse of the drive device and the stamping device in such a way that it allows them to move towards one another and blocks a relative movement away from one another when a predetermined spacing is reached.

In einer zweckmäßigen Ausführungsform kann vorgesehen sein, dass die federelastische Dämpfungseinrichtung unter Vorspannung zwischen der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung und der Stempeleinrichtung, insbesondere zwischen der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung und der Kopplungstraverse der Stempeleinrichtung eingespannt ist. Vorzugsweise kann dabei vorgesehen sein, dass die Einspannung so ausgeführt ist, dass bei einer Bewegung der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung in Richtung zum Zerkleinerungsrotor bzw. der Stempeleinrichtung eine weitere Komprimierung der federelastischen Dämpfungseinrichtung erfolgen kann, während beim Auftreten einer entgegengesetzten Bewegung der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung relativ zum Zerkleinerungsrotor bzw. der Stempeleinrichtung keine relative Bewegung zwischen der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung und der Stempeleinrichtung erfolgt, u.U. um unzulässige Zugbelastungen der federelastischen Dämpfungseinrichtung zu vermeiden.In an expedient embodiment, it can be provided that the spring-elastic damping device is clamped under pretension between the traverse of the drive device and the stamp device, in particular between the traverse of the drive device and the coupling traverse of the stamp device. Provision can preferably be made for the clamping to be designed in such a way that when the traverse of the drive device moves in the direction of the shredding rotor or the punch device, further compression of the spring-elastic damping device can take place, while when the traverse of the drive device moves in the opposite direction relative to the Crushing rotor or the stamp device no relative movement between the traverse of the drive device and the stamp device takes place, possibly to impermissible To avoid tensile loads on the spring-elastic damping device.

Je nach Ausführungsform kann die federelastische Dämpfungseinrichtung unterschiedlich gestaltet sein, beispielsweise in der Art einer Druckfeder z.B. eine Schraubendruckfeder oder einer Blattfeder. In einer besonders zweckmäßigen Ausführungsform kann die federelastische Dämpfungseinrichtung einen oder mehrere Elastomerkörper, insbesondere topf- oder zylinderartige Elastomerkörper aufweisen. Dabei kann vorgesehen sein, dass der bzw. die Elastomerkörper endstämmig an der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung bzw. einer Zwischenplatte und/oder der Stempeleinrichtung, insbesondere einer Kopplungstraverse der Stempeleinrichtung befestigt sind, derartig, dass sie eine Komprimierung des bzw. der Elastomerkörper bei der Bewegung der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung in Richtung zum Zerkleinerungsrotor erlauben, jedoch bei einer Bewegung der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung in entgegengesetzter Richtung verhindert ist, dass eine vorgegebene Zugkraft auf den bzw. die Elastomerkörper wirkt zur Vermeidung einer Beschädigung des bzw. der Elastomerkörper.Depending on the embodiment, the spring-elastic damping device can be designed differently, for example in the form of a compression spring, e.g. a helical compression spring or a leaf spring. In a particularly expedient embodiment, the spring-elastic damping device can have one or more elastomer bodies, in particular cup-shaped or cylinder-shaped elastomer bodies. Provision can be made for the elastomer body or bodies to be fastened at the end to the traverse of the drive device or an intermediate plate and/or the stamping device, in particular a coupling traverse of the stamping device, in such a way that compression of the elastomer body or bodies occurs during the movement of the Allow Traverse of the drive device in the direction of the crushing rotor, but is prevented when moving the Traverse of the drive device in the opposite direction that a predetermined tensile force acts on the or the elastomer body to avoid damage to the elastomer body or bodies.

Zur Kompensation eventuell vorhandener Fluchtfehler zwischen den zumindest beiden Aktuatoren senkrecht zur Bewegungsrichtung der Stempeleinrichtung kann zweckmäßigerweise vorgesehen sein, dass die Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung in ihrer Längsrichtung teleskopartig, umfassend zumindest zwei ineinander steckbare Traversenelemente ausgebildet ist, welche in Längserstreckung der zusammengesetzten Traverse zueinander im Wesentlichen frei bewegbar sind. Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Traverse dreiteilig aufgebaut ist mit einem Mittenelement sowie zwei Endelementen, die jeweils endstämmig teleskopartig zum Mittelteil in Längsrichtung der Traverse verschiebbar angeordnet sind zur Bereitstellung der beschriebenen Kompensation von Fluchtfehlern zwischen den beiden Aktuatoren etwa senkrecht zur Bewegungsrichtung der Stempeleinrichtung. In ähnlicher Weise kann zur Kompensation von Fluchtfehlern der zumindest beiden Aktuatoren in Bewegungsrichtung der Traverse der Antriebsrichtung vorgesehen sein, entsprechende Loslager für die Aktuatoren zur Lagerung am Maschinengestell der erfindungsgemäßen Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung vorzusehen, die innerhalb vorgegebener Grenzen eine gegenseitige Verschiebung der Aktuatoren zueinander, insbesondere parallel zur Antriebsrichtung der Stempeleinrichtung ermöglichen.To compensate for any misalignment between the at least two actuators perpendicular to the direction of movement of the stamping device, it can expediently be provided that the traverse of the drive device is telescopic in its longitudinal direction, comprising at least two traverse elements that can be plugged into one another and which can essentially be freely moved relative to one another in the longitudinal extent of the assembled traverse are. In particular, it can be provided that the traverse is constructed in three parts with a middle element and two end elements, each telescopic end stem to the central part in the longitudinal direction Traverse are slidably arranged to provide the described compensation of misalignment between the two actuators approximately perpendicular to the direction of movement of the stamping device. In a similar way, to compensate for misalignments of the at least two actuators in the direction of movement of the traverse of the drive direction, provision can be made for corresponding loose bearings for the actuators to be mounted on the machine frame of the comminution device according to the invention, which, within predetermined limits, allow the actuators to move relative to one another, in particular parallel to the drive direction allow the stamping device.

Ein Fluchtfehler zwischen den zumindest beiden Aktuatoren in Bezug auf eine senkrechte Richtung zu einer Ebene, die aufgespannt wird durch die Bewegungsrichtung der Stempeleinrichtung und die Längserstreckung des Zerkleinerungsrotors kann durch eine Langlochführung des obengenannten Zugankers oder Mitnahmebolzens erreicht werden, wobei diese Langlochdurchführung insbesondere an der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung angeordnet sein kann.A misalignment between the at least two actuators in relation to a direction perpendicular to a plane that is spanned by the direction of movement of the punch device and the longitudinal extension of the shredding rotor can be achieved by guiding the aforementioned tie rod or driving bolt in a slot, with this slot being carried out in particular on the traverse of the Drive device can be arranged.

Die zumindest beiden Elektro-Aktuatoren der Antriebseinrichtung der Vorschubeinrichtung können zur Drehmomentabstützung am Maschinengestell befestigt sein. Vorzugsweise können die zumindest zwei Elektro-Aktuatoren jeweils an einer Außenseite des Maschinengestells angebracht sein, sodass ein direkter Kontakt mit dem Zerkleinerungsgut vermieden werden kann. Beispielsweise kann jeweils eine der Elektro-Aktuatoren an der Außenseite einer den Aufnahmeabschnitt bzw. Zerkleinerungsraum der Zerkleinerungsrichtung festlegende Seitenwandung angeordnet sein. Vorzugsweise kann dabei vorgesehen sein, dass ein jeweiliges motorenseitiges Ende eines insbesondere langgestreckten Aktuators jeweils dem Zerkleinerungsrotor zugewandt ist, sodass die Aktuatoren in Hauptlastrichtung zum Zerkleinerungsrotor hinziehend befestigt sein können.The at least two electric actuators of the drive device of the feed device can be fastened to the machine frame for torque support. The at least two electric actuators can preferably each be attached to an outside of the machine frame, so that direct contact with the material to be comminuted can be avoided. For example, in each case one of the electric actuators can be arranged on the outside of a side wall that defines the receiving section or comminution space of the comminution direction. It can preferably be provided that a respective motor-side end of an in particular elongated actuator is connected to the comminution rotor is facing, so that the actuators can be attached to the crushing rotor pulling in the main load direction.

Die besondere Gestaltung der zumindest zwei Elektro-Aktuatoren kann spezifisch auf das Zerkleinerungsgut angepasst sein. Es hat sich jedoch herausgestellt, dass für übliche Zerkleinerungsgüter ein solcher Elektro-Aktuator jeweils einen Elektromotor mit nachgeschaltetem Untersetzungsgetriebe aufweisen kann, das ausgangsseitig vorzugsweise an ein Schraubgetriebe angeschlossen sein kann, wobei das Schraubgetriebe abtriebsseitig mit der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung verbunden sein kann. Vorzugsweise können beide Elektro-Aktuatoren baugleich ausgebildet sein, wobei das Schraubgetriebe eine Kugelgewindespindel umfassen kann zur Minimierung von Reibungsverlusten innerhalb der Antriebe. Als Untersetzungsgetriebe kann beispielsweise ein Planetengetriebe eingerichtet sein, was eine besonders kompakte Bauweise des Aktuators ermöglicht. Es liegt jedoch auch im Rahmen der Erfindung, die zumindest beiden Elektro-Aktuatoren ohne Untersetzungsgetriebe auszubilden, derart, dass die Welle des Elektromotors direkt das Schraubgetriebe antreibt. Der rein elektromechanische Aufbau eines solchen Aktuators wird bei allen beschriebenen Ausführungsformen insbesondere durch die beschriebene federelastische Dämpfungseinrichtung gegen unzulässige Stoßbelastungen geschützt, wobei die federelastische Dämpfungseinrichtung kraft- und/oder drehmomentübertragend zwischen der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung und der Stempeleinrichtung angeordnet sein kann.The special design of the at least two electric actuators can be specifically adapted to the material to be comminuted. It has been found, however, that for normal material to be comminuted, such an electric actuator can have an electric motor with a downstream reduction gear, which can preferably be connected to a helical gear on the output side, with the helical gear being able to be connected to the traverse of the drive device on the output side. Both electric actuators can preferably be of identical construction, with the helical gear being able to comprise a ball screw spindle in order to minimize friction losses within the drives. A planetary gear, for example, can be set up as the reduction gear, which enables a particularly compact design of the actuator. However, it is also within the scope of the invention to design the at least two electric actuators without a reduction gear, such that the shaft of the electric motor directly drives the helical gear. The purely electromechanical design of such an actuator is protected against impermissible impact loads in all of the described embodiments, in particular by the resilient damping device described, with the resilient damping device being able to be arranged between the traverse of the drive device and the stamping device so as to transmit force and/or torque.

Bei der Verwendung eines jeweiligen Kugelgewindeantriebs für die zumindest zwei Elektro-Aktuatoren kann zweckmäßigerweise vorgesehen sein, dass eine jeweilige Kugelumlaufmutter an einem zugeordneten Längsendabschnitt der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung angeordnet bzw. daran befestigt ist, sodass sich die Kugelumlaufmutter mit daran befestigter Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung bei einer Drehung der jeweiligen Schraubspindel bewegt, die am Maschinengestell gelagert sein kann. Dabei kann das motorabgewandte Ende eines jeweiligen Elektro-Aktuators über ein Loslager am Maschinengestell befestigt sein mit einer beschränkten Bewegungsmöglichkeit parallel zur Bewegungsrichtung der Stempeleinrichtung zum Ausgleich eventueller Fluchtfehler bei der Herstellung und/oder Anordnung der zumindest beiden Elektro-Aktuatoren am Maschinengestell bzw. im Betrieb der erfindungsgemäßen Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung.When using a respective ball screw drive for the at least two electric actuators can be expediently provided that a respective recirculating ball nut an associated longitudinal end section of the traverse of the drive device is arranged or attached thereto, so that the recirculating ball nut moves with the traverse of the drive device attached thereto when the respective screw spindle, which can be mounted on the machine frame, rotates. The end of a respective electric actuator facing away from the motor can be attached to the machine frame via a floating bearing with a limited possibility of movement parallel to the direction of movement of the stamping device to compensate for any misalignments during the manufacture and/or arrangement of the at least two electric actuators on the machine frame or during operation of the crushing device according to the invention.

Vorzugsweise kann bei der erfindungsgemäßen Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung eine Steuerung der Antriebseinrichtung der Vorschubeinrichtung in Abhängigkeit der Drehmomentlast des Antriebes des Zerkleinerungsrotors durchgeführt werden. Hierzu kann eine zentrale Steuereinrichtung vorgesehen sein, welche sowohl den Antrieb der Vorschubeinrichtung als auch den Antrieb des Zerkleinerungsrotors in Abhängigkeit der jeweiligen Betriebssituationen steuert. Insbesondere kann die Steuerung ausgebildet sein, eine Überlastung bzw. Blockade des Zerkleinerungsrotors zu vermeiden.In the crushing device according to the invention, the drive device of the feed device can preferably be controlled as a function of the torque load of the drive of the crushing rotor. For this purpose, a central control device can be provided, which controls both the drive of the feed device and the drive of the comminution rotor depending on the respective operating situation. In particular, the controller can be designed to avoid overloading or blockage of the comminution rotor.

Wie obenstehend schon dargestellt, kann die zwischen der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung der Vorschubeinrichtung und der Stempeleinrichtung angeordnete federelastische Dämpfungseinrichtung angeordnet und eingerichtet sein, Energie zum Bewegen der Stempeleinrichtung in Richtung zum Zerkleinerungsrotor in einer ersten Betriebssituation durch elastisches Verformen aufzunehmen, insbesondere zur Bereitstellung einer Anpresskraft auf die Stempeleinrichtung bei feststehenden Aktuatoren, ohne dass zwingend die Elektromotoren der zumindest beiden Aktuatoren bestromt werden müssen. Diese Vorgehensweise kann beispielsweise in Betriebssituationen, bei welchen der Zerkleinerungsrotor im Bereich einer Überlastschwelle arbeitet, zweckmäßig sein. Dabei kann der Antrieb der Vorschubeinrichtung ausgeschaltet bleiben, da ein notwendiger Anpressdruck des Zerkleinerungsgutes über die Stempeleinrichtung in Richtung zum Zerkleinerungsrotor durch die in der federelastischen Dämpfungseinrichtung gespeicherten Energie bereitgestellt ist. In entsprechender Weise kann in einer anderen Betriebssituation die federelastische Dämpfungseinrichtung wie beschrieben angeordnet und eingerichtet sein, durch elastisches Verformen bzw. Rückformen gespeicherte Energie wieder freizusetzen, insbesondere zum Bewegen der Stempeleinrichtung in Richtung zum Zerkleinerungsrotor. Die durch die federelastische Dämpfungseinrichtung speicherbare und wiederabgebbare Energie ermöglicht insofern eine verbesserte Funktionalität beim Betrieb der erfindungsgemäßen Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung.As already explained above, the spring-elastic damping device arranged between the traverse of the drive device of the feed device and the stamping device can be arranged and set up to absorb energy for moving the stamping device in the direction of the comminution rotor in a first operating situation by elastic deformation, in particular to provide a pressing force on the Stamping device for fixed actuators without the need for the electric motors at least both actuators must be energized. This procedure can be expedient, for example, in operating situations in which the comminuting rotor is working in the range of an overload threshold. The drive of the feed device can remain switched off since a necessary contact pressure of the material to be comminuted is provided via the punch device in the direction of the comminution rotor by the energy stored in the spring-elastic damping device. Correspondingly, in another operating situation, the spring-elastic damping device can be arranged and set up as described to release stored energy again through elastic deformation or reshaping, in particular for moving the stamping device in the direction of the comminution rotor. The energy that can be stored and released again by the spring-elastic damping device thus enables improved functionality during operation of the comminution device according to the invention.

Um eine synchrone Bewegung der Traverse der Antriebseinrichtung durch die zumindest beiden Aktuatoren bereitzustellen, kann zweckmäßigerweise vorgesehen sein, dass eine Steuerung der Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung ausgebildet ist, Lagermessungen an beiden Aktuatoren durchzuführen, um die jeweiligen Elektromotoren zum gewünschten synchronen Antrieb anzusteuern. Diese Lagemessung kann in der Motorsteuerung der Elektro-Aktuatoren integriert sein, z.B. durch das Ausbilden der Elektromotoren der Elektro-Aktuatoren als Servomotoren, welche Sensoren zur Positionsbestimmung aufweisen.In order to provide a synchronous movement of the traverse of the drive device by the at least two actuators, it can expediently be provided that a control of the comminution device is designed to carry out bearing measurements on both actuators in order to control the respective electric motors for the desired synchronous drive. This position measurement can be integrated in the motor control of the electric actuators, e.g. by designing the electric motors of the electric actuators as servomotors, which have sensors for position determination.

Zweckmäßigerweise kann in einer Ausführungsform auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Steuerung ausgebildet ist bei Erreichen eines vorgegebene Lastmomentes eine mechanische Bremsvorrichtung zur Festsetzung der Stempeleinrichtung auszulösen.Expediently, it can also be provided in one embodiment that the controller is designed to trigger a mechanical braking device to fix the stamp device when a predetermined load moment is reached.

Diese Vorgehensweise ist insbesondere in solchen Betriebssituationen vorteilhaft, bei welchen der Vorschub der Stempeleinrichtung gestoppt werden muss, da der Zerkleinerungsrotor an einer Belastungsgrenze arbeitet und/oder eine Lastmomentschwelle des Antriebs der Vorschubeinrichtung erreicht ist.This procedure is particularly advantageous in those operating situations in which the feed of the stamping device has to be stopped because the shredding rotor is working at a load limit and/or a load torque threshold of the drive of the feed device has been reached.

Figur 1 zeigt eine erfindungsgemäß gestaltete Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung 1 in einer Aufsicht einer prinziphaften Darstellung. In der beschriebenen Ausführungsform ist die Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung 1 zum Zerkleinern von Hausmüll ausgebildet und weist ein etwa quaderförmiges Maschinengestell 2 auf mit zwei Seitenblechen 20a, 20b, zwischen welchen ein Zerkleinerungsrotor 3 über nicht dargestellte Lager drehbar gehalten ist. Der Zerkleinerungsrotor 3 weist über seine Wirkungsbreite an seinem Umfang eine Vielzahl von nicht dargestellten Zerkleinerungswerkzeugen auf. Dabei bildet ein Bodenblech 40 sowie Innenseitenflächen 21a, b der Seitenbleche 20a, b einen Aufnahme- bzw. Zerkleinerungsraum 4 für das Zerkleinerungsgut. Das Maschinengestell 2 weist unterhalb des Zerkleinerungsrotors 3 einen Fallraum auf, in welchem das vom Rotor 3 zerkleinerte Material nach unten in einen in Figur 1 nicht sichtbaren Auffangbehälter fällt. Im Betrieb wird Zerkleinerungsgut in den Aufnahmeraum 4 eingeführt und kann beispielsweise aufgrund einer vorgegebenen Neigung des Bodenbleches 4 in Richtung zum Zerkleinerungsrotor 3 rutschen, an welchem es in bekannter Weise, u.U. im Zusammenwirken mit fest am Gestell angebrachten Gegenmessern zerkleinert wird. In der Darstellung der Figur 1 ist der Antrieb des Zerkleinerungsrotors 3 nicht gezeigt, beispielsweise können an den Seitenblechen 20a, b angesetzte elektromotorische Antriebe zur Anwendung kommen, die auf den Zerkleinerungsrotor angeflanscht sind. figure 1 shows a crushing device 1 designed according to the invention in a top view of a basic representation. In the embodiment described, the crushing device 1 is designed for crushing household waste and has an approximately cuboid machine frame 2 with two side plates 20a, 20b, between which a crushing rotor 3 is rotatably supported via bearings (not shown). The comminution rotor 3 has a large number of over its range of action on its circumference not shown crushing tools. A base plate 40 and inner side surfaces 21a, b of the side plates 20a, b form a receiving or comminuting space 4 for the material to be comminuted. The machine frame 2 has a drop space below the shredding rotor 3, in which the material shredded by the rotor 3 falls downwards into a figure 1 falls out of the visible collection container. During operation, material to be comminuted is introduced into the receiving space 4 and can, for example due to a predetermined inclination of the base plate 4, slide in the direction of the comminution rotor 3, on which it is comminuted in a known manner, possibly in cooperation with counter knives fixed to the frame. In the representation of figure 1 the drive of the comminution rotor 3 is not shown;

Um sicherzustellen, dass sich das im Aufnahme- bzw. Zerkleinerungsraum 4 befindliche Zerkleinerungsgut mittels der am Zerkleinerungsrotor 3 befindlichen Zerkleinerungswerkzeuge verarbeitet wird, weist die erfindungsgemäße Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung 1 eine Vorschubeinrichtung 5 auf, die einen Stempel 80 umfasst, der hier je nach Ausführungsform quaderförmig oder keilförmig gestaltet sein kann und auf dem Bodenblech 40 senkrecht zur Achse des Rotors 3 verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Der Stempel 80 begrenzt in der beschriebenen Ausführungsform mit einer dem Zerkleinerungsrotor 3 zugewandten Begrenzungsabschnitt, der im Folgenden auch als Stempelplatte 81 bezeichnet wird, den Aufnahmeraum 4. Durch das Verschieben des Stempels bzw. des Schiebers 80 kann insofern der Aufnahmeraum vergrößert oder verkleinert werden, beispielsweise zur Vorbereitung einer Neufüllung des Aufnahmeraums bzw. zum Schieben des Zerkleinerungsgutes in Richtung zum Zerkleinerungsrotor 3.In order to ensure that the material to be comminuted in the receiving or comminution space 4 is processed by the comminution tools on the comminution rotor 3, the comminution device 1 according to the invention has a feed device 5 which includes a plunger 80 which, depending on the embodiment, is cuboid or wedge-shaped can be and is arranged on the bottom plate 40 perpendicular to the axis of the rotor 3 slidably. In the embodiment described, the plunger 80 delimits the receiving space 4 with a delimiting section facing the crushing rotor 3, which is also referred to below as the plunger plate 81. By moving the plunger or the slide 80, the receiving space can be enlarged or reduced, for example to prepare for refilling the receiving space or for pushing the material to be shredded in the direction to the shredding rotor 3.

Zum Antreiben des Stempels 80 weist die Vorschubeinrichtung 5 in der beschriebenen Ausführungsform 2 jeweils an einem Seitenblech 20a, b des Maschinengestells 2 angeordnete, baugleich ausgebildete Aktuatoren auf. Diese umfassen jeweils einen Elektromotor 50a, b, dessen Motorwelle ein als Planetengetriebe 51a, b ausgebildetes Untersetzungsgetriebe antreibt, das abtriebsseitig mit einer Kugelgewindespindel 52a, b verbunden ist, auf welcher eine Kugelumlaufmutter 53a, b verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Beide wie beschrieben aufgebaute Aktuatoren sind abtriebsseitig, d.h. hier an ihrer jeweiligen Kugelumlaufmutter 53a, b, mittels einer parallel zur Längsachse des Rotors verlaufenden Traverse 70 verbunden. Eine mechanische Kopplung zwischen der Traverse 70 und dem Stempel 80 erfolgt durch mehrere, in Fig. 1 nur symbolhaft dargestellte federelastische Dämpfungseinrichtungen 7a, b.In order to drive the ram 80, the feed device 5 in the described embodiment 2 has actuators of identical construction which are arranged on a side plate 20a, b of the machine frame 2. These each comprise an electric motor 50a, b, whose motor shaft drives a reduction gear designed as a planetary gear 51a, b, which is connected on the output side to a ball screw spindle 52a, b, on which a recirculating ball nut 53a, b is slidably arranged. Both actuators constructed as described are connected on the output side, ie here on their respective recirculating ball nut 53a, b, by means of a traverse 70 running parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rotor. A mechanical coupling between the traverse 70 and the stamp 80 is effected by several, in 1 resilient damping devices 7a, b shown only symbolically.

Der beschriebene Antriebsabschnitt der Vorschubeinrichtung 5 ist zur Klarheit der Darstellung in Figur 2 im Detail und alleine gezeigt. Wie aus der Figur hervorgeht, ist etwa senkrecht zu den Kugelgewindespindeln 52a, b und insofern in der beschriebenen Ausführungsform parallel zur Rotorachse, siehe Figur 1, die Traverse 70 angeordnet, welche die beiden Elektro-Aktuatoren abtriebsseitig miteinander verbindet. Die Traverse 70 ist in der beschriebenen Ausführungsform dreiteilig mit einem hohlen Mittelteil 71 und zwei in das hohle Mittelteil einsteckbare Seitenteile 72a, b ausgebildet. Beide Seitenteile 72a, b sind teleskopartig in das hohle Mittelteil 70 eingesteckt und zur Bereitstellung einer Kompensation eventueller Fluchtfehler der Teile zueinander, insbesondere auch während des Betriebes, in Richtung zur Rotorachse verschiebbar angeordnet. An das Mittelteil 71 der Traverse 70 bzw. einer zugeordneten Zwischenplatte 77 sind innenseitig mehrere, in Querrichtung der Traverse sich erstreckende, tonnenförmige und in Längsrichtung zur Traverse beabstandete Elastomerkörper 74a, b befestigt, die zusammen eine federelastische Dämpfungseinrichtung innerhalb des Kraftweges der Vorschubeinrichtung 5 von der Traverse 70 der Antriebseinrichtung zur Stempeleinrichtung 80 bereitstellen. Darüber hinaus ist an der Traverse 70 ein hier zwei Mitnahmebolzen umfassender Zuganker 75 angeordnet, der in noch zu beschreibender Art zur Kraftübertragung zwischen der Traverse 70 und des Stempels 80 wirkt. In Figur 2 auch dargestellt sind die beiden Lager 60a, b und 61a, b für die beiden Aktuatoren, wobei die motornahen Lager 60a, b als Festlager und die motorentfernten Lager 61a, b als Loslager mit einer Bewegungsmöglichkeit in Bewegungsrichtung (X-Richtung) des Schiebers 80 angeordnet bzw. ausgebildet sind.The described drive section of the feed device 5 is shown in FIG figure 2 shown in detail and alone. As can be seen from the figure, is approximately perpendicular to the ball screw spindles 52a, b and in this respect parallel to the rotor axis in the embodiment described, see figure 1 , the traverse 70 is arranged, which connects the two electric actuators to one another on the output side. In the embodiment described, the traverse 70 is constructed in three parts with a hollow middle part 71 and two side parts 72a, b that can be inserted into the hollow middle part. Both side parts 72a, b are inserted telescopically into the hollow central part 70 and arranged to be displaceable in the direction of the rotor axis to compensate for any misalignment of the parts with respect to one another, in particular also during operation. To the middle part 71 of the traverse 70 or an associated intermediate plate 77, several barrel-shaped elastomer bodies 74a, b, which extend in the transverse direction of the traverse and are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the traverse, are fastened on the inside, which together form a spring-elastic damping device within the force path of the feed device 5 from the traverse 70 of the drive device to the stamping device provide 80. In addition, a tie rod 75 is arranged on the traverse 70, here comprising two driving bolts, which acts in a manner yet to be described to transmit force between the traverse 70 and the stamp 80. In figure 2 The two bearings 60a, b and 61a, b for the two actuators are also shown, with the bearings 60a, b close to the motor being arranged as fixed bearings and the bearings 61a, b remote from the motor being arranged as floating bearings with a possibility of movement in the direction of movement (X direction) of the slide 80 or are trained.

Figur 3 zeigt den Ausschnitt der Ankopplung der Traverse 70 an den in Figur 2 linken Aktuator in einer vergrößerten Darstellung. Erkennbar ist das Mittenelement 71 der Traverse, in welches das Seitenteil 72a eingeschoben ist, das endstämmig eine Gabelaufnahme 73a umfasst, die ausgebildet ist, die hier zylindrisch ausgebildete Außenmantelfläche der Kugelumlaufmutter 53a zu umgreifen. Diese weist einen dem Loslager 61a zugewandten radialen Flansch 54a auf, über welchen die Arme der Gabelaufnahme 73a mit der Kugelumlaufmutter 53a verschraubt sind zur Mitnahme der Traverse 70 bei der Bewegung der Kugelumlaufmutter auf der zugeordneten Kugelgewindespindel 52a. Wie aus Figur 3 ferner hervorgeht, liegen die Gabelarme der Gabelaufnahme 73a seitlich an dem Flansch 54a der Kugelumlaufmutter an zur Bereitstellung eines optimalen Lastabtrages in Hochlastrichtung, d.h. bei der Bewegung der Kugelumlaufmutter 53a in Richtung zum Zerkleinerungsrotor. Dagegen erfolgt der Lastabtrag bei der Bewegung der Kugelumlaufmutter 53a in entgegengesetzter Richtung allein über die Verbindungsbolzen zwischen den Gabelarmen des Seitenelements 72a und des Flansches 54a. Die in Figur 3 nicht dargestellte Ankopplung des zweiten Aktuators erfolgt in gleicher Weise. figure 3 shows the detail of the coupling of the traverse 70 to the in figure 2 left actuator in an enlarged view. The central element 71 of the traverse can be seen, into which the side part 72a is inserted, which includes a fork mount 73a at the end stem, which is designed to encompass the cylindrical outer surface of the recirculating ball nut 53a. This has a radial flange 54a facing the loose bearing 61a, via which the arms of the fork mount 73a are screwed to the recirculating ball nut 53a to entrain the traverse 70 when the recirculating ball nut moves on the associated ball screw spindle 52a. How out figure 3 It is also apparent that the fork arms of the fork mount 73a lie laterally against the flange 54a of the recirculating ball nut to provide optimum load transfer in the high-load direction, ie when the recirculating ball nut 53a moves in the direction of the crushing rotor. On the other hand, the load transfer takes place during the movement of the recirculating ball nut 53a in the opposite direction solely via the connecting bolts between the fork arms of the side element 72a and the flange 54a. In the figure 3 not shown coupling of the second actuator takes place in the same way.

Zur Darstellung der Kopplung der Traverse 70 der Antriebseinrichtung mit dem Schieber 80 wird im Folgenden auf die Figuren 1, 2 Bezug genommen. Der Schieber oder Stempel 80 ist in der beschriebenen Ausführungsform beispielsweise keilförmig ausgebildet mit einer zum Rotor hingewandten Stempelplatte 81 und mit einer zur Traverse 70 der Antriebseinrichtung gewandten Kopplungsplatte oder Kopplungstraverse 82. Diese Kopplungsplatte oder Kopplungstraverse 82 begrenzt den Schieber rückwärtig in Richtung zur Traverse 70 der Antriebseinrichtung und wirkt als Anlagefläche für die rotorzugewandten Stirnseiten der Elastomerkörper 74a - d, siehe Figur 2. Bodenseitig weist der Schieber 80 mehrere nicht sichtbare Laufräder auf, die sich an einer zugeordneten Laufschiene bzw. dem Bodenblech 40 der Aufnahme abstützen. Wie insbesondere aus Figur 2 hervorgeht, ist der Schieber 80 durch die Seitenbleche 20a, b in einer Richtung senkrecht zur Rotorachse zwangsgeführt. Die rotorabgewandten Stirnseiten der Elastomerkörper 74a - d können mit der Traverse 70 direkt oder wie in der beschriebenen Ausführungsform über eine Zwischenplatte 77 indirekt verbunden sein, beispielsweise mittels einer stoffschlüssigen Verbindung durch Verkleben oder Anvulkanisieren. Die Elastomerkörper 74a - d sind in der beschriebenen Ausführungsform nicht mit der Kopplungsplatte 82, siehe Figur 1, verbunden, sondern können je nach Betriebssituation beabstandet zur Kopplungsplatte angeordnet sein, insbesondere beim Zurückziehen des Schiebers weg vom Zerkleinerungsrotor 3 oder an der Kopplungsplatte 82 anliegen, insbesondere beim Bewegen des Schiebers 80 in Richtung zum Zerkleinerungsrotor.To illustrate the coupling of the traverse 70 of the drive device with the slide 80 is referred to below figures 1 , 2 referenced. In the embodiment described, the slide or ram 80 is wedge-shaped, for example, with a ram plate 81 facing the rotor and with a coupling plate or coupling traverse 82 facing the traverse 70 of the drive device. This coupling plate or coupling traverse 82 delimits the slide at the rear in the direction of the traverse 70 of the drive device and acts as a contact surface for the faces of the elastomer bodies 74a-d facing the rotor, see FIG figure 2 . On the bottom side, the slider 80 has a number of non-visible running wheels, which are supported on an assigned running rail or the bottom plate 40 of the receptacle. Like in particular figure 2 shows, the slider 80 is constrained by the side plates 20a, b in a direction perpendicular to the rotor axis. The end faces of the elastomer bodies 74a-d facing away from the rotor can be connected to the traverse 70 directly or, as in the embodiment described, indirectly via an intermediate plate 77, for example by means of a cohesive connection by gluing or vulcanizing. The elastomeric bodies 74a-d are not connected to the coupling plate 82 in the described embodiment, see FIG figure 1 , Connected, but can be arranged spaced from the coupling plate depending on the operating situation, in particular when the slide is pulled back away from the crushing rotor 3 or on the coupling plate 82, in particular when the slide 80 is moved in the direction of the crushing rotor.

Zum Zurückziehen des Schiebers weg vom Zerkleinerungsrotor ist ein Zuganker 75 vorgesehen, welcher in der beschriebenen Ausführungsform die beiden sich parallel zur Bewegungsrichtung des Schiebers 80 erstreckenden Mitnahmebolzen 76a, b umfasst, die sich an der Rückseite der Traverse 70 der Antriebseinrichtung und an der Rückseite der Kopplungsplatte 82 abstützen. Der zwischen der Traverse 70 und dem Schieber 80 angeordnete Zuganker 75 ist so ausgebildet, dass bei einer Bewegung des Schiebers in Richtung weg vom Zerkleinerungsrotor die Elastomerkörper 74a - d gerade keine Zugkräfte erfahren, während sie ein Aufeinanderzubewegen der Traverse 70 in Richtung des Schiebers 80 erlauben. Somit können bei einer Bewegung der Traverse 70 in Richtung zum Rotor bzw. Schieber 80 die rotorzugewandten Stirnseiten der Elastomerkörper 74a - d in Kontakt zur Kopplungsplatte 82 des Schiebers 80 gelangen und daraufhin die Elastomerkörper in Abhängigkeit einer Wechselwirkung der Stempelplatte 81 mit im Aufnahmeraum befindlichen Zerkleinerungsgut komprimiert und damit elastische Energie in den Elastomerkörpern gespeichert werden. Diese Energie kann je nach Betriebssituation genutzt werden, um beispielsweise bei ausgeschaltetem Antrieb einen Anpressdruck auf das Zerkleinerungsgut aufrechtzuerhalten oder die gespeicherte Energie zur Bewegung des Schiebers und damit des Zerkleinerungsgutes in Richtung zum Rotor freizugeben.To pull the slide back away from the shredding rotor, a tie rod 75 is provided, which in the described embodiment includes the two driver bolts 76a, b, which extend parallel to the direction of movement of the slide 80 and are located on the rear side of the traverse 70 of the drive device and on the rear side of the coupling plate 82 support. The tie rod 75 arranged between the traverse 70 and the slide 80 is designed in such a way that when the slide moves away from the comminution rotor, the elastomer bodies 74a-d are not subjected to any tensile forces, while they allow the traverse 70 to move towards one another in the direction of the slide 80 . Thus, when the traverse 70 moves in the direction of the rotor or slide 80, the end faces of the elastomer bodies 74a - d facing the rotor can come into contact with the coupling plate 82 of the slide 80 and the elastomer bodies can then be compressed depending on an interaction of the stamp plate 81 with the material to be comminuted in the receiving space and thus elastic energy can be stored in the elastomer bodies. Depending on the operating situation, this energy can be used, for example to maintain a contact pressure on the material to be shredded when the drive is switched off, or to release the stored energy to move the slide and thus the material to be shredded in the direction of the rotor.

In einer nicht dargestellten Ausführungsform kann auch vorgesehen sein, die Mitnahmebolzen in Bezug auf ihre Länge so einzustellen, dass die Elastomerkörper 74a - d in jeder Betriebssituation vorgespannt sind, beispielsweise um eine bestimmte Kennlinie der Elastomerkörper einzustellen. Der Zuganker wirkt auch in dieser Ausführungsform insbesondere beim Zurückziehen des Schiebers zur Übertragung der Bewegung der Traverse 70 auf den Schieber zur Vermeidung einer Zugbelastung auf die Elastomerkörper.In an embodiment that is not shown, it can also be provided that the length of the driving bolts is adjusted in such a way that the elastomer bodies 74a-d are pretensioned in every operating situation, for example in order to set a specific characteristic curve of the elastomer bodies. In this embodiment too, the tie rod acts in particular when the slide is pulled back to transmit the movement the traverse 70 on the slide to avoid a tensile load on the elastomer body.

In einer weiteren nicht dargestellten Ausführungsform kann auch vorgesehen sein, zwischen der Traverse 70 der Antriebseinrichtung und der Kopplungsplatte 82 des Stempels bzw. des Schiebers 80 eine oder mehrere Stahlfedern anzuordnen, wobei diese Stahlfedern wieder an einem der Teile Traverse bzw. Zwischenelement oder Kopplungsplatte befestigt sind, während sie an der anderen Stirnseite unbefestigt sind. Auch in dieser Ausführungsform dient ein Zuganker, unter Umständen identisch aufgebaut wie in der vorher beschriebenen Ausführungsform zur Vermeidung von unter Umständen zerstörerisch auf das Dämpfungselement wirkenden Zugkräften.In a further embodiment that is not shown, one or more steel springs can also be arranged between the traverse 70 of the drive device and the coupling plate 82 of the ram or the slide 80, with these steel springs again being attached to one of the parts of the traverse or intermediate element or coupling plate , while they are unfastened on the other end. In this embodiment, too, a tie rod is used, which under certain circumstances is constructed identically to the previously described embodiment, in order to avoid tensile forces which under certain circumstances have a destructive effect on the damping element.
