  • Patent number: 7520452
    Abstract: A paper shredder enables to control power consumption and achieve energy saving by realizing a torque characteristic of low torque at high speed or high torque at low speed keeping an output of a motor within a steady level. This circuit adopts a paper shredder structured with a driving motor for a rotary cutter having an inverted linear flow characteristic between rotation speed and torque and a control circuit composed of a detecting block for said rotation speed of the motor, a voltage control block for restricting a voltage output of the motor within a certain range in accordance with the rotation speed, and a current and voltage detecting block for monitoring a current flow of the motor.

  • Patent number: 6686712
    Abstract: A motor network control system is provided which is capable of reducing the wiring length of a power cable and in which upon replacement of a motor or an inverter of a specific motor unit, no adverse influence is exerted on the other motor units. A power cable 7 and a communication cable 8 connecting between a plurality of motor units 30a-30c, each of which includes a motor 4, an inverter 5 and a communication part 6, extend successively from a power supply 1 and a network control computer 2, respectively, to the respective motor units 30a-30c in such a manner that the motor units are connected with each other in a cascade manner from a preceding one to a following one. In addition, each of the motor units includes a connection board 11 on which an inverter 5 and a communication part 6 are installed.
