- FIG. 15 a generally schematic end view of the rotors and the counter knife of a two-shaft shredder with knives with multiple cutting points according to the invention.
- a shredder 10 to which the present invention is not embodied is disclosed in U.S.P. FIGS. 1 to 3 shown.
- the main components of the shredder are a rotor 12 which carries knives 30, as described later, and a counter knife 14 which works in conjunction with the rotor to grind or crush material that is dumped into the room. in which the rotor and the counter knife converge.
- the counter-knife is generally stationary, although it can be flexibly supported so that it can "yield" to some degree when a very hard object (eg, a piece of metal or a stone) accidentally gets into the space between the rotor and the counter-knife In this case, the flexibility aims to prevent engine damage.
- the crushed or crushed material passes through a sieve 16 (FIG. FIG. 2 ) having openings sized to regulate the size of the particles of crushed material.
- the shredder 10 also has a hopper 18 for receiving material to be shredded, and a hydraulic ram 20 or the like for advancing the material into the space between the rotor and the counterknife. Gravity causes the material in the hopper 18 to fall down onto a horizontal plate 21, and the ram 20 pushes the material on the plate 21 toward the rotor 12.
- FIG. 3 Figure 12 is a plan view of a portion of the length of the rotor 12 and the counter knife 14.
- the rotor 12 is generally cylindrical, but its outer surface defines a series of circumferential ridges or ribs 22 which project radially outward.
- each rib has opposite side surfaces which are conical and which are inclined opposite to the rotor axis.
- the outer surface defines a series of alternating ones in the axial direction along the rotor Peaks (where the ribs 22 are located) and valleys between the peaks.
- the counter knife 14 has a series of teeth 24 which are axially aligned with the valleys between the ribs 22 of the rotor, such a tooth 24 per valley being provided in the rotor surface.
- V-shaped depressions or grooves 26 are provided between the teeth 24 of the counter knife, which are aligned axially on the ribs of the rotor.
- the rotor surface and the counter blade are generally configured complementary.
- a plurality of blades 30 axially aligned with the ribs 22 and the V-shaped recesses 26 in the counter blade 14 are mounted on the outer surface of the rotor. At least one blade 30 may be provided per rib 22. Each blade 30 has contiguous radially outer side surfaces 32 which terminate at a corner 34 (FIG. FIGS. 4A and 4B ) and form a general V-shape with the vertex of the V pointing radially outward. Each blade 30 has an upper surface 36. The junctures between the upper surface 36 and the side surfaces 32 form edges 38. The side surfaces 32 and top 36 all meet at a cutting point 40 (which is also considered to be a junction between the corner 34 and the edges 38 can) together.
- the knife 30 is a four-sided knife having four corners 34 each having a single cutting point.
- the knife 30 is fixed to the rotor 12 and oriented so that a corner 34 meshes with one of the V-shaped recesses 26 between the teeth 24 of the counter knife. Material that is fed into the space between the rotor and the counter knife is crushed by the knives 30 while the knives mesh with the counter knife.
- the cutting edges 38 are arranged approximately orthogonal to each other, but may also have a slight curvature, so that they are concave in the direction of rotation of the rotor, as in FIG. 3 shown, creating a scissor effect between the knives and the counter knife is promoted. Alternatively, the edges 38 may be straight.
- the blades 30 are circumferentially spaced around the rotor so that one or more of the blades always mesh with the counter blade.
- Each blade 30 is mounted by a screw 42 to a tool holder 44 which is secured to the rotor (for example, by welding or by a bolted connection).
- the tool holders 44 are mounted in pockets 46 which are cut into the rotor surface. The knives, if damaged or dull, can be removed and replaced with new knives.
- the knives 30 may have four corners 34 each shaped to mate with a groove 26 in the counter knife 14.
- the knives may be mounted on the rotor in any of four different rotational orientations, each of which provides a different one of the corners for engagement with the counter knife. When a corner becomes dull, the knife can be positioned to present a new corner.
- FIGS. 5 to 15 show various embodiments of the present invention, which is characterized by the use of knives with multiple cutting points instead of knives with a cutting point.
- the FIGS. 5A and 5B show such a multi-cutting knife 130 with two cutting points according to an embodiment of the invention.
