The application integrates the functions of waste paper shredding, paper scrap softening and extrusion, greatly expands the practicability of the equipment compared with the traditional paper shredder, and reduces the process and cost of subsequent secondary treatment of paper scraps.

[0030] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the cutting unit includes two cutting shafts 7, each of which is sleeved with a mounting sleeve 8, the outer periphery of the mounting sleeve 8 is sleeved with a plurality of cutting mounting rings 9, the outer periphery of the mounting sleeve 8 is provided with a groove 10, the inner periphery of the cutting mounting ring 9 is provided with a protrusion corresponding to the groove 10, the cutting mounting ring 9 is provided with a plurality of crushing knives 11, the cutting mounting rings 9 on the two cutting shafts 7 are arranged in a staggered manner, ensuring the crushing effect, the lower part of the two cutting shafts 7 is provided with a driving member, the two cutting shafts 7 are driven to move by the driving member, so as to adjust the distance between the crushing knives 11 on the two cutting shafts 7 to meet the cutting needs of different types of waste paper.

[0031] Further, the cutting unit further includes two mounting plates 3, each of which is provided with two mounting blocks 4, the four mounting blocks 4 are connected with two conveying rollers 6 through the main shaft 5, the two conveying rollers 6 are located directly above the two cutting shafts 7, realizing stable conveying of the waste paper.

[0032] As shown in the figure, Figure 6 The side of the shredding box body 1 is provided with two groups of driving units, the driving unit includes a motor 24, the output shaft of the motor 24 extends into the shredding box body 1 and is provided with a synchronous wheel two 25, one end of the main shaft 5 and the cutting shaft 7 is provided with a synchronous wheel one 23, the synchronous wheel two 25 and the two synchronous wheel one 23 are sleeved with a synchronous belt 26, one side of the inner wall of the shredding box body 1 is provided with a tensioning wheel 27 for tensioning the synchronous belt 26, ensuring stable transmission.
