Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document cutting apparatus for finely cutting paper provided with an outlet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a front door of a document cutting device is opened,
An outlet for using a power supply around the document cutting device is installed. These have a function to stop the power supply to the motor of the document cutting device when the door open signal is detected, in order to prevent the power consumption from being exceeded due to the simultaneous use of the power of both the motor and the outlet. .

[0003]

As described above, if an outlet is provided in the door of the document cutting apparatus, the door must be opened each time the outlet is used. When the door is opened, paper debris within the door often scatters around the document cutting device. Also, while the outlet was in use, the door had to be kept open, which hindered traffic. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a document cutting device that can use an outlet with a door closed while having a function of preventing power consumption from being excessive.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is directed to a document cutting apparatus provided with a cutter driven by a motor. An outlet for supplying power to another electrical product provided to be exposed to the document cutting device, and a changeover switch for enabling power to be supplied to one of the motor and the outlet. This is a document cutting device characterized by the following.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described based on embodiments with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a document cutting device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic circuit diagram of power supply to a motor and an outlet of the document cutting device of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, an insertion section 2 for inserting paper is provided on the upper surface of the document cutting device 1. A cutter for cutting paper is provided below the insertion section 2, and has a structure for cutting paper inserted from the insertion section 2. The cutter unit is configured to be rotationally driven by the motor 3 adjacent to the cutter unit when cutting the paper. Similarly, an operation button 4 for operating the rotation and stop of the motor 3 is provided on the upper surface. A door 5 is attached to the front side surface so that it can be opened and closed. A box 6 for storing paper waste is removably mounted in the door. Above the opening, a power switch 7 and a door open / close detection switch 8 are provided. When the door 5 is closed, the power switch 7 is closed by the door 5 and cannot be operated.

An outlet 9 is provided on the lateral side surface. The outlet 9 remains exposed even when the door 5 is closed. In a first embodiment described later, a switch 10 is mounted beside the switch. However, in the second, third, and fourth embodiments to be described later, a mechanism in which the switch 10 is not provided beside the outlet 9 is used.

[0010] As shown in FIG. 2, the circuit configuration is such that power can be supplied to either the motor 3 or the outlet 9 by the changeover switch 11. When the changeover switch 11 is at the terminal A, electric power is supplied to the motor 3, and when the changeover switch 11 is at the terminal B, electric power is supplied to the outlet 9. Actually, there are other circuits such as a control circuit for the motor 3, but they are not directly related to the present invention, and therefore, description thereof is omitted.

A first embodiment will be described. In the first embodiment, the changeover switch 11 is the switch 1 shown in FIG.
It corresponds to 0. That is, the power can be supplied to the motor 3 or the outlet 9 by operating the switch 10. In a specific usage example, with the power switch 7 of the document cutting apparatus 1 being ON, the switch 10 is turned on to either the motor 3 or the outlet 9 to be used. Thereby, either one can be used.

A second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, the switch 10 is not provided. Here, a relay switch (not shown) is operated by the operation ON and OFF of the operation button 4, and the relay switch plays a role of the changeover switch 11. A specific use example is the power switch 7
When the operation button 4 is turned ON in the state of ON, the changeover switch 11 enters the terminal A side by the relay. As a result, the motor 3 is driven to cut the paper. When the operation button 4 is turned off, the changeover switch 11 enters the terminal B side by the relay. As a result, no power is sent to the motor 3, and power is supplied to the outlet 9. That is, when the operation button 4 is not ON, the outlet 9
Is always supplied with power.

Next, a third embodiment will be described. In the third embodiment, the power switch 7 functions as the changeover switch 11 as it is. A specific use example is the power switch 7
Is turned on, the changeover switch 11 enters the terminal A side, and power is supplied to the motor 3. When the power switch 7 is turned off, the switch 11 enters the terminal B side, and power is supplied to the outlet 9. in this case,
The power switch 7 does not function to turn on / off the power, but functions as a changeover switch.

A fourth embodiment will be described. In the fourth embodiment, the switch 10 is not provided. A sensing unit that senses the presence or absence of a power plug in the outlet 9 plays a role of the changeover switch 11. In a specific usage example, when the power plug is inserted into the outlet 9 while the power switch 7 is turned on, the sensor unit detects that the power plug is inserted, and the changeover switch 11 enters the terminal B side and the outlet 9 Is supplied with power. When the power plug is unplugged from the outlet 9, the switch 11 enters the terminal A side, and power is supplied to the motor 3.

These embodiments are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to these four embodiments as long as they have the same function.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The outlet can be used with the document cutting device door closed. In addition, power consumption does not exceed.
