Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Dokumentenvernichter mit einem von einem Elektromotor angetriebenen Schneidwerk und einem ggf. durch das Schneidgut betätigten Schalter für den Elektromotor.The invention relates to a document shredder with a by an electric motor driven cutting unit and one if necessary, the switch for the electric motor operated by the material to be cut.

Solche Dokumentenvernichter sind z.B. aus dem Dokument DE-A-3819285 bekannt.Such document shredders are e.g. from the document DE-A-3819285 known.

Derartige Dokumentenvernichter, worunter hier Vernichter für alle möglichen Arten von Flachmaterial, Abfällen o. dgl. zu verstehen sind, werden entweder von mechanischen Schaltern oder von Lichtschranken, Berührungsschaltern o. dgl. in Gang gesetzt und wieder abgeschaltet. Die insbesondere bei kleineren Einheiten verwendeten Elektromotoren sind meist Einphasen-Wechselstrommotoren oder Universalmotoren, d.h. Kommutatormotoren. Ihre Einschaltung erzeugt eine Stromspitze, die auf das Versorgungsnetz zurückwirkt und andererseits auch Funkstörungen verursacht. Gewisse derartige Störungen werden meist akzeptiert, wenn sie eine bestimmte Zahl in einer vorgegebenen Zeiteinheit nicht überschreiten. Wenn diese "Knackrate" aber aufgrund der hohen Leistung und der Möglichkeit, aufeinanderfolgende zahlreiche Einzelblätter in einen Dokumentenvernichter einzugeben, zu hoch steigt, muß hier abgeholfen werden.Such document shredders, including shredders for all kinds of flat material, waste or the like are understood either by mechanical switches or of light barriers, touch switches or the like set and switched off again. The especially with smaller ones Electric motors used in units are mostly single-phase AC motors or universal motors, i.e. Commutator motors. Their activation generates a current spike that affects the supply network and on the other hand also Caused radio interference. Certain such disorders will occur mostly accepted when they have a certain number in one do not exceed the specified time unit. If those "Click rate" but due to the high performance and the possibility successive numerous single sheets in one Entering document shredders that rise too high must be here be remedied.

Entstörmittel, die diese Störungen ausschalten oder ihre Wirkungen beseitigen, sind sehr aufwendig und häufig wirtschaftlich bei Kleingeräten, die insbesondere eine hohe Knackrate verursachen, kaum tragbar.Interference suppression devices that eliminate these interference or their Eliminating effects is very complex and often economical for small devices that are particularly high Cause crack rate, hardly portable.

AUFGABE UND LÖSUNGTASK AND SOLUTION

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, einen Dokumentenvernichter der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, bei dem das Problem der Netzrückwirkung und Funkstörung auf möglichst einfache und wenig aufwendige Art beseitigt oder zumindest verbessert ist.The object of the invention is therefore a document shredder of the type mentioned at the beginning, in which the Problem of network interference and radio interference on possible simple or inexpensive way eliminated or at least is improved.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Schalter für den Elektromotor eine einen Phasendetektor enthaltende variable Verzögerungsschaltung aktiviert, die ein im Motorstromkreis vorgesehenes elektronisches Schaltglied zur Schaltung im Null-Durchgang der Netzspannung ansteuert.This object is achieved in that the Switch for the electric motor and a phase detector containing variable delay circuit activated, the an electronic switching element provided in the motor circuit for switching in the zero crossing of the mains voltage controls.

Der den Betrieb auslösende Schalter, also entweder ein mechanischer, von Hand betätigbarer Schalter, ein vom Schneidgut betätigter Mikroschalter oder ein Ausgangsschalter einer Lichtschrankensteuerung schaltet also den Motor nicht direkt. Die Schaltung wird vielmehr zur Aktivierung eines Phasendetektors verwendet, der z.B. den nächsten Null-Durchgang der Netzspannung ermittelt und dann den Motor einschaltet. Die Motorspannung läuft also zusammen mit der Netzwelle hoch und eine Funkstörung oder Netzrückwirkung auslösende Spannungsspitze unterbleibt. Es wird somit nicht, wie bei einer normalen Entstörung, die entstehende Störung beseitigt, sondern es wird die Ursache einer Störung, nämlich die Spannungsspitze, vermieden. Spezielle Entstörglieder können also entfallen, wenn der Motor nicht selbst beim Lauf Störungen verursacht.The switch that triggers the operation, i.e. either on mechanical, manually operated switch, one of the Micro-operated switch or an output switch a light barrier control does not switch the motor directly. Rather, the circuit is used to activate a Phase detector used, e.g. the next zero crossing the mains voltage and then switches on the motor. The motor voltage therefore runs together with the mains shaft high and causing radio interference or network interference No voltage peak. It will not, as with a normal interference suppression that eliminates the interference that arises, but it becomes the cause of a disturbance, namely the Voltage spike, avoided. Special suppressors can So if the engine does not malfunction even when running caused.

Diese Art der Störungsvermeidung ist besonders bei Dokumentenvernichtern vorteilhaft, weil sie naturgemäß für einen sehr starken Stoßbetrieb ausgelegt sein müssen und auch derart betrieben werden. Sie müssen ein hohes Anlaufdrehmoment haben und werden oft bis an die Leistungsgrenze ihrer Elektromotoren und darüber hinaus belastet.This type of malfunction avoidance is particularly important for document shredders advantageous because they are natural for you very strong surge operation must be designed and also operated like this. You need a high starting torque often have and will reach the limits of their performance Electric motors and beyond.

Bei vielen Auslösungen, beispielsweise bei der Lichtschrankensteuerung, ist es zweckmäßig, einen Nachlauf vorzusehen, damit die beispielsweise am Dokumenteneinlaß vorgesehene Lichtschranke das einlaufende Blatt noch zu Ende schneidet, nachdem das Ende die Lichtschranke schon passiert hat. In diesem Falle würde die Verzögerungsschaltung von einem entsprechenden Nachlaufglied der Lichtschrankensteuerung für ein verzögertes Ausschalten aktiviert werden.With many triggers, for example with light barrier control, it is advisable to provide a wake, thus the one provided for example at the document inlet Light barrier cuts the incoming sheet to the end, after the end has already passed the light barrier. In in this case the delay circuit would be of one corresponding follower of the light barrier control for a delayed switch-off can be activated.

Es ist zweckmäßig, mit dem elektronischen Schaltglied einen mechanischen Schalter so zu kombinieren, daß der Schaltzeitpunkt vom elektronischen Schaltglied bestimmt wird, z.B. durch Reihenschaltung. Dies vermeidet zwar seltene, aber mögliche Störfälle, z.B. den Fall, daß ein Halbleiter des elektronischen Schaltgliedes z.B. infolge einer Überspannung durchlegiert und somit nicht mehr ansteuerbar ist. Dieser mechanische Schalter würde dann jedoch vor bzw. nach der Ein- bzw. Ausschaltung wirksam werden und somit stromlos schalten.It is useful to have one with the electronic switching element mechanical switch to combine so that the switching time is determined by the electronic switching element, e.g. through series connection. This avoids rare, but possible accidents, e.g. the case that a semiconductor of electronic switching element e.g. due to an overvoltage alloyed and is therefore no longer controllable. This mechanical switches would then, however, before or after the or switch-off take effect and thus switch off.

Das elektronische Schaltglied kann beispielsweise durch einen Brückengleichrichter realisiert werden, der von einem in der Brückendiagonale liegenden Transistor gesteuert wird. Als Phasendetektor kann ein auf "Null Volt" ansprechender Vergleicher eingesetzt werden.The electronic switching element can, for example, by a Bridge rectifier can be realized by one in the Bridge diagonal lying transistor is controlled. As Phase detector can be a comparator responsive to "zero volts" be used.

Diese und weitere Merkmale gehen außer aus den Ansprüchen auch aus der Beschreibung und den Zeichnungen hervor.These and other features go beyond the claims also from the description and the drawings.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is explained in more detail below. The only description figure shows:
a schematic diagram of the control of a shredder.

BESCHREIBUNG DES AUSFÜHRUNGSBEISPIELSDESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT

Ein Aktenvernichter 11 enthält ein Schneidwerk 12 mit Schneidwalzen 13, deren ggf. gezahnte Schneidscheiben 14 ineinander eingreifen und somit ein Schneidgut 15 in Streifen oder Partikel 16 zerschneiden können. Zur Einschaltung ist einerseits ein mechanischer, manuell betätigbarer Vor- und Rückwärtsschalter 17 vorgesehen und andererseits eine Lichtschrankenschaltung, die Sensoren 18 an einem Einfüllschacht 19 des Aktenvernichters und eine entsprechende Lichtschrankensteuerung 20 aufweist. Diese gibt ein Ausgangssignal, das den die Schneidwalzen antreibenden Motor 21 in Gang setzt und, ggf. über ein Verzögerungsglied nach einer Nachlaufphase von beispielsweise 2 Sekunden, wieder ausschaltet, nachdem das Ende des Schneidgutes 15 die Lichtfühler 18 passiert hat.A shredder 11 includes a cutter 12 Cutting rollers 13, whose toothed cutting disks 14 intermesh and thus a material to be cut 15 in strips or can cut particles 16. To turn on on the one hand a mechanical, manually operable pre and Reverse switch 17 provided and on the other hand a light barrier circuit, the sensors 18 on a feed chute 19 of the document shredder and a corresponding light barrier control 20 has. This gives an output signal that starts the motor 21 driving the cutting rollers and, possibly via a delay element after a lag phase of for example 2 seconds, switches off again after the end of the material to be cut 15 has passed the light sensor 18.

Bei dem Motor handelt es sich im Ausführungsbeispiel um einen Einphasen-Wechselstrommotor (Asynchronmotor) mit einem den Anlauf ermöglichenden Kondensator 22. Es könnte aber auch ein Universalmotor, d.h. ein Kollektor-Reihenschlußmotor vorgesehen sein.In the exemplary embodiment, the motor is a Single-phase AC motor (asynchronous motor) with one Capacitor enabling start-up 22. But it could also be a Universal motor, i.e. a collector series motor is provided his.

Nachdem der Schalter 17 betätigt ist und über ihn die Drehrichtung des Motors bestimmt wird, wird die Einschaltung von einem elektronischen Schaltglied 23 bestimmt, das in Reihe mit dem Motor-Zweig des mechanischen Schalters 17 in der Stromzuführung zum Motor liegt. Es handelt sich dabei um einen vier Dioden enthaltenden Brückengleichrichter 24, in dessen Brücken-Diagonale ein Transistor 25 angeordnet ist. Er wird von einem Phasendetektor 26 angesteuert, der Teil einer variablen Verzögerungsschaltung 27 ist, die von der Lichtschrankensteuerung 20 aktiviert wird.After the switch 17 is actuated and the direction of rotation via it the motor is determined, the activation of an electronic switching element 23 determines that in series with the motor branch of the mechanical switch 17 in the Power supply to the motor is. It is about a bridge rectifier 24 containing four diodes, in whose bridge diagonal a transistor 25 is arranged. He is driven by a phase detector 26, which is part of a variable delay circuit 27, which is controlled by the light barrier 20 is activated.

FUNKTIONFUNCTION

Die Funktion ist wie folgt:The function is as follows:

Mit dem Schalter 17 wird die Maschine in Betriebsbereitschaft geschaltet. Der Schalter 17 schließt den Stromkreis zum Motor M. Wird nun der Maschine ein Schneidgut 15 zugeführt, so gibt die Lichtschrankensteuerung 20 EIN-Signal an die variable Verzögerungsschaltung 27. Der Phasendetektor 26 ermittelt nun den nächsten Null-Durchgang der Netzspannung und schaltet in diesem Moment den Transistor 25 ein. Der Gleichrichter 24 wird damit aktiviert und der Motor 21 beginnt zu arbeiten. Der Spannungs- und Stromanstieg im Motor ist dabei entsprechend dem sinusförmigen Anstieg der Netzwelle sanft und erzeugt keine Spannungsspitzen aufgrund der im Motor und anderen Vorrichtungsteilen enthaltenden Induktivitäten oder Kapazitäten.With the switch 17, the machine is ready for operation switched. The switch 17 closes the circuit to the motor M. If a cutting material 15 is now fed to the machine, there are the light barrier control 20 ON signal to the variable Delay circuit 27. The phase detector 26 now determines the next zero crossing of the mains voltage and switches in the transistor 25 at this moment. The rectifier 24 is activated and the engine 21 starts to work. The voltage and current rise in the motor is corresponding the sinusoidal rise of the mains wave gently and generates no voltage peaks due to the in the motor and other parts of the device containing inductors or Capacities.

Sobald das Schneidgut 15 die Lichtschranke passiert hat, wird von der Lichtschrankensteuerung 20 aus eine Nachlaufzeit von beispielsweise zwei Sekunden gestartet. Ist diese beendet, so gibt die Lichtschrankensteuerung 20 der variablen Verzögerungsschaltung das AUS-Signal. Der Phasendetektor ermittelt wiederum den nächsten Null-Durchgang der Netzspannung und schaltet zu diesem Zeitpunkt den Transistor 25 aus. Der Gleichrichter 24 ist deaktiviert und der Aktenvernichter ist ausgeschaltet. Die von der variablen Verzögerungsschaltung bewirkte Ein- und Ausschaltverzögerung ist also vom Zeitpunkt des den Vorgang auslösenden Signals (z.B. Ansprechen der Lichtschranke) in Relation zum Netzfrequenz-Takt abhängig und liegt also normalerweise zwischen Null und einer hundertstel Sekunde.As soon as the material to be cut 15 has passed the light barrier, a follow-up time of for example started two seconds. If this is finished, so gives the light barrier control 20 of the variable delay circuit the OFF signal. The phase detector determines again the next zero crossing of the mains voltage and turns off transistor 25 at this time. The Rectifier 24 is deactivated and the document shredder is switched off. The one from the variable delay circuit The on and off delay caused is therefore from the time of the signal triggering the process (e.g. addressing the Light barrier) in relation to the mains frequency cycle and is usually between zero and one hundredth Second.

Als elektronisches Schaltglied sind auch andere Schaltelemente wie Thyristoren, TRIAC, IGBT's etc. möglich. Es sollte ein elektronisches Schaltglied sein, das im Nulldurchgang schaltbar ist oder, wenn es sich um ein anders aufgebautes Relais handelt, müßte durch die Verzögerungsschaltung die Eigenzeit des Relais berücksichtigt werden.Other switching elements are also electronic switching elements such as thyristors, TRIAC, IGBT's etc. possible. It should be an electronic switching element that is at zero crossing is switchable or if it is a different structure Relay is acting, should the delay circuit Proper time of the relay are taken into account.

Die Erfindung benötigt also keine normalerweise zur Minimierung von Störungen verwendete RC-Filter oder LC-Filter und vermeidet trotzdem EMV-Störungen.The invention therefore does not normally need to be minimized RC filters or LC filters used by interference and nevertheless avoids EMC interference.
