Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Schaltklappe
nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a switching flap
according to the preamble of
In das Schneidwerksgehäuse an dessen Unterseite integrierte Schaltklappen zum Zwecke der Antriebsstillsetzung bei gefülltem Schnittgutsammelbehälter sind an sich bekannt und bislang derart ausgebildet, dass ihre Bewegung über mehr oder minder aufwendige Hebel- und Gestängeteile samt zugehörigen Lagerungen auf einer mit der Antriebssteuerung verbundenen Endschalter übertragen wird.Integrated in the cutting unit housing on the underside Switch flaps for the purpose of stopping the drive when the clippings container is full known per se and so far trained in such a way that its Movement over more or less elaborate lever and Rod parts including associated bearings on one with the Drive control connected limit switch is transmitted.
So ist aus der GB-A-2 138 700 eine Vorrichtung zum Zerkleinern von Materialien, wie Dokumenten etc. bekannt, bei der ein auf einem Untergestell stehender Aktenvernichter eine Ausgabeöffnung hat, aus der Zerkleinerungsgut in einen Korb fällt. Eine schwenkbar gelagerte und von einem Kniehebelmechanismus federnd belastete Klappe dient gleichzeitig als Füllstandsfühler gegen Überfüllung des Korbes und als Verschluss der Ausgabeöffnung. Auf diesen Füllstandsfühler - Schaltklappe - wirkt ein externes Federelement, welches über ein Segment, das auch den Schalter betätigt, mit der Schaltklappe in Wirkverbindung steht und an dem Segment über eine weitere Gelenkstelle verbunden ist.GB-A-2 138 700 is a device for comminuting of materials, such as documents, etc., known in the one on a shredder standing under a stand Has output opening, from the shredded material into a basket falls. A swivel and one The toggle mechanism serves as a spring-loaded flap at the same time as a level sensor against overfilling the basket and as a closure of the dispensing opening. On this Level sensor - switching flap - acts as an external one Spring element, which has a segment, which is also the switch actuated, is operatively connected to the switching flap and on the segment is connected via another joint.
Die Hauptnachteile dieser bekannten Ausführungen liegen dabei vor allem in einem hohen baulichen Fertigungs- und Montageaufwand verbunden mit relativ großer Störanfälligkeit, bedingt durch die Stangen, Hebel etc.The main disadvantages of these known designs are especially in a high structural manufacturing and Assembly effort combined with relatively high susceptibility to faults, due to the rods, levers etc.
Die vorliegende Erfindung hat sich daher die Aufgabe gestellt, eine baulich und montagemäßig äußerst einfache Schaltklappenausführung zu schaffen, die praktisch ohne Lagerungen auskommt und absolut störungsunanfällig und somit betriebssicher arbeitet.The present invention therefore has the task of an extremely simple construction and assembly Flap valve design to create the practically without Bearing needs and absolutely insensitive to faults and therefore works reliably.

Die Darstellungen in den Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen zunächst
erläuternd den Grundaufbau der neuen Ausführung dahingehend,
daß auf der Unterseite 2a eines Schneidwerksgehäuses
2 seitlich neben dem Schnittgutaustrittsspalt
"SP" eine bewegliche, auf den Motorendschalter
"E" wirkende Schaltklappe 1 angeordnet ist. The representations in FIGS. 1 and 2 show first
explanatory of the basic structure of the new version in that
that on the underside 2a of a
Das in diesen Figuren 1 und 2 gezeigte Schneidwerkgehäuse 2
ist mit seiner Unterseite 2a, die an sich einem
Schnittgutsammelbehälter zugewandt ist, nach oben - also auf
dem Kopf liegend - gezeigt, so dass die Schaltklappe 1 besser
sichtbar ist.The
Neu und zur Lösung der mit der Erfindung gestellten Aufgabe
dienlich ist hierbei nun, dass die Schaltklappe 1 über
entsprechende Anschlussstellen 3, 4 und 5, 6 in die
Gehäuseunterseite 2a einsteckbar ist, unmittelbar oberhalb der
Steckverbindungen 3, 4 und 5, 6 eine sich über ihre ganze
Länge 4 erstreckende federnde Gelenkstelle "B" aufweist und auf
ihrer dem Schnittgutaustrittsspalt "SP" abgewandten Seite 1 a
eine als Schaltnocken für die Betätigung des die
Antriebsstillsetzung bewirkenden Endschalters "E" dienende
Rippe "S" o. dgl. trägt. Dabei ist unter oberhalb zu verstehen,
dass die sich unmittelbar an die Steckverbindungen 3 und 4
anschließende Gelenkstelle "B", in der in Figur 2 gezeigten
Darstellung, dort oberhalb der Anschlussstellen 3 und 4 befindet.New and to solve the problem posed by the invention
It is useful here that the
In spezieller baulicher Ausgestaltung ist dabei vorgesehen, dass
die steckbaren Anschlussstellen als kraftschlüssige
Schnappverbindungen 3 und formschlüssige Führungszapfen 4
an der, dem Gehäuse zugewandten, Schaltklappenunterkante 1 b sitzen, die
Gehäuseunterseite 2a dazu korrespondierende
Aussparungen 5 und 6 aufweist und die, bezüglich der
Darstellung in Fig. 2 betrachtet, unmittelbar oberhalb der
Steckverbindungen 3, 4 und 5, 6 sich parallel zur
Gehäuseunterseite 2a erstreckende federnde Gelenkstelle als
sog. Biegenut "B" in die Materialdicke "D" eingebracht ist. Die
Rückstellkraft der Schaltklappe 1 wird also über die Elastizität
und Geometrie des betreffenden Werkstoffes erzielt, so dass
weder zusätzliche Rückstellelemente noch Lagerungen oder
Stellhebel samt störanfälligen Übertragungsgestängen
für die neue Lösung erforderlich sind.In a special structural design, it is provided that
the pluggable connection points as
In spezieller und vorteilhafter baulicher Ausgestaltung ist
weiterhin vorgesehen, dass der Schaltnocken "S" durch eine
Aussparung 2b an der Gehäuseunterseite 2a auf den
Endschalter "E" wirkt und die Bewegung der Schaltklappe 1 in
Richtung auf den Endschalter "E" durch eine sich an die
Oberfläche 2c der Gehäuseunterseite 2a in ihrer Endstellung
anliegende weitere Anschlagrippe "R" begrenzt ist; hierdurch
entfällt unnötiger Druck auf den Endschalter "E" und seine
Befestigungselemente.In a special and advantageous structural design
further provided that the switching cam "S" by a
Recess 2b on the bottom of the housing 2a on the
Limit switch "E" acts and the movement of the
Weiterhin ist es bei der neuen Schaltklappe 1 noch sinnvoll,
dass Schaltnocken "S" und begrenzende Anschlagrippe "R" auf
der gleichen Seite der Oberfläche 1a der Schaltklappe 1 sowie,
von der die Anschlusselemente 3 und 4 aufweisenden
Schaltklappenkante aus gesehen (S.Fig. 3 bis 5), auf der anderen Seite der
Biegenut "B" sitzen, was eine rationelle und somit preisgünstige
Herstellung der Schaltklappe 1 samt Biegenut "B",
Schaltnocken "S", Anschlagrippe "R" und steckbaren
Anschlusselementen, Schnappverbinder 3 und
Führungszapfen 4, als einstückiges Kunststoffformteil ohne
mechanische Nachbearbeitung ermöglicht. Furthermore, with the
