A paper shredder motor cooling assembly having a paper shredder motor coupled to a fan shaft, an enclosure surrounding the paper shredder motor and having selected input and selected output vents to control airflow to the paper shredder motor, a fan coupled to the fan shaft, communicating with the selected input vents or the selected output vents; when the paper shredder motor is operating, the rotor shaft turns the fan to generate a differential air pressure between the selected input vents and the selected output vents, removing heat from the motor. A duty cycle of greater than 50% is obtained. The fan can be coupled to the motor by speed increasing gearing, attached to the cutter blade assembly, such that the fan turns faster than the motor. The fan also can be attached to the motor shaft. An input fan and an output fan can be used.

An air extraction and heat dissipation structure for paper shredders, wherein the outer wall of the main handle is inlaid with switch button, the right side of the handle is connected with the power cord hook, the end of the handle is fixed with the connecting rod, and the bottom end of the rod is connected with a main body. The motor is arranged on the inner side of the heat dissipation port, the end of the motor is connected with the dust suction device, at the lower left end of which the dust storage chamber is arranged, and a dust suction channel is fixed at the right end of the chamber. The bottom end of the channel is connected with rollers, the left side of the rollers is provided with a suction cup, and the surface of the suction cup is provided with a dust suction port for paper shredders.

The paper shredder simultaneously shreds both manually inserted sheets of paper and sheets of paper that are placed in an auto-feeder input tray. Immediately above the shredding mechanism the input path is bifurcated. One branch extends essentially straight up from the blades and leads to a manual input slot. A second branch extends at an angle towards the rear of the shredder where an auto-feed roller lies at the bottom of an auto-feed slot. When a stack of paper is placed into the slot, the bottom of the stack rests against the auto-feed roller which grasps the top sheet and pulls it under the roller. The roller then pushes the sheet down the angled throat where a curved surface bends the sheet downwards and into the shredding mechanism.

An automatic shredder having an upper shredder cover, a lower shredder cover, a first paper box, a second paper box, a shredder cover plate, a paper pressing plate, a paper pressing roller set, a paper pick-up roller set, a paper inlet, a cutter shaft set, a drive motor, a shell and a waste paper barrel. The automatic shredder adopts a bent paper box to change the length of to-be-shredded paper by means of the flexibility and bendability of paper and the features of paper pick-up rollers on one side, is extremely simple and economical, and changes the flat paper placement structure of existing automatic shredders.

A shredder includes a housing having a throat for receiving at least one article to be shredded, and a shredder mechanism received in the housing and including an electrically powered motor and cutter elements. The shredder also includes a detector that is configured to detect a thickness of the at least one article being received by the throat, and a controller that is configured to operate the motor to drive the cutter elements to shred the at least one article and to set a flutter threshold higher than the predetermined maximum thickness threshold, if the detected thickness is less than a predetermined maximum thickness threshold. The controller is also configured to thereafter continuously detect the thickness of the at least one article being inserted into a throat of the shredder; and to perform a predetermined operation responsive to the thickness detector detecting that the thickness of the at least one article is greater than the flutter threshold.

The present invention discloses a shredding mechanism, a shredding device and a control system and method thereof. The shredding mechanism comprises a shredding component and an adjusting component, wherein the shredding component is used to shred materials, the adjusting component and the shredding component define an operation space for shredding operation, and the adjusting component and the shredding component are configured to be able to move relative to each other so as to change the size of the operation space. The present invention also discloses a shredding device and a control system and method thereof. The shredding mechanism and device according to the present invention feature improved safety, convenience and service life.

An illustrated view of an exemplary cardboard shredder for compressing and shredding cardboard is presented. The cardboard shredder provides a shredder for cardboard to facilitate recycling while reducing storage space needed before cardboard enters a recycling stream and cutting out the middleman, thus the recycler receives uncontaminated cardboard since it is not mixed in with other materials. The manufacturer receives clean shredded cardboard for reuse, reducing headcount for the plant by reducing and eliminating their shredders being jammed with plastic. The cardboard shredder further saves space in residential and commercial spaces and increases intervals between container emptying, thus making recycling of cardboard easier while saving time and money. The carboard shredder is designed to fit over standing large garbage cans to eliminate double handling of the cardboard prior to recycling. The cardboard shredder further accommodates larger sizes of product to be shredded than a conventional paper shredder encouraging recycling of cardboard.
