  • Publication number: 20120274256
    Abstract: A motor having a first portion configured to turn in a forward direction, a second portion coaxially mirrors the first portion; and a central fan between the first and second portions, and forcing air through the portions. A thermoelectric cooler element, thermally coupled to the portion is configured to cool the motor. A motor controller is electrically coupled to the first and second portions, and operates a portion in response to a condition sensed by the motor controller. The condition sensed by the motor controller is a motor torque, a motor speed, a motor casing temperature, or a zoned motor casing temperature. A method includes detecting a motor operational command; selecting a motor operational state using motor portion responsive to the motor command; sensing a heating state of a motor portion; and providing a cooling state to the motor portion responsive to the heating state.

  • Publication number: 20110039478
    Abstract: A grinding composition for sharpening shredder blades of a shredder includes, based on total weight of the grinding composition, from 51 to 65 wt % of a grinding powder; from 5 to 35 wt % of a viscous grease agent; and from 3 to 30 wt % of at least one functional additive. A grinding sheet formed from the composition is used as a grinding product alone or in a bag. The composition is sealed in a bag and used as a grinding product. A process for manufacturing the latter grinding product employs an automatic form-fill-seal packaging machine. The shredder blades of a paper shredder are sharpened satisfactorily by the grinding composition as the grinding sheet or grinding product is shredded. The useful life of shredders is cost effectively extended while providing convenience in use that saves time and labor.

  • Patent number: 7494077
    Abstract: A two-way self-lock paper shredder has a functional switch (11), a shredding mechanism (10), a control circuit power source (2) electrically connected to the said functional switch (11), as well as the following control circuits: a CPU (1), a motor-driving circuit (8), a reverse detection circuit (9), a paper-in detection circuit (5), and an unlocking circuit (4). If there is neither an input of paper-in signal nor an input of reverse signal after the paper is shredded, the said paper-in detection circuit (5) will transfer a self-lock signal to said CPU (1) and then the CPU (1) begins timing. When the duration of said self-lock signal exceeds the preset value, the CPU (1) will shut off the motor-driving circuit (8) and the paper shredder will be self-locked. The aforesaid unlocking circuit (4) contains an unlocking key, and reset of the said unlocking key can unlock the paper shredder. The present utility model enhances the safety of the paper shredder efficiently, so as to avoid unnecessary hidden trouble.
