Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of paper shredders, and in particular relates to a small paper shredder. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the information age, the protection of personal privacy and business secrets has become increasingly important. In daily office or home environments, when dealing with no longer needed documents, people often choose to use shredders to destroy them to prevent the leakage of sensitive information. However, traditional shredder designs often have some obvious shortcomings:

[0003] 1. Large size: Most paper shredders on the market have complex internal structures and require a large storage space to accommodate the shredded paper residue. As a result, the overall size is relatively large. This not only takes up valuable desktop or floor space, but also limits its application possibilities in small space environments.

[0004] 2. Single Function: Traditional shredders primarily focus on physically destroying paper materials, prioritizing practical performance over design and other value-added services. For example, in today's society, people increasingly prioritize the intelligence of devices and the ability to display additional information, yet existing products fall short in this regard. Furthermore, many shredders are bulky and unattractive, making them difficult to integrate into modern office or home decor.

[0005] Therefore, based on some of the above situations in the prior art, this application has been further designed and improved. Utility Model Content

[0029] Specifically, the housing 10 comprises several components connected by snap fasteners. This design simplifies the production and assembly process and makes repairs or component replacements more convenient and efficient. It also enhances the appearance of the shredder, making it more compact and aesthetically pleasing. Control buttons 15 are located on the top of the housing 10. This design allows users to intuitively perform basic operations such as starting and stopping the device, improving the user experience. Furthermore, placing the buttons on the top reduces the possibility of accidental touches.

[0030] In order to further improve the user experience of the shredder, a battery compartment 16 is provided at the bottom of the shell 10. Users can not only connect the power supply through the power supply interface module 14 in a fixed position, but also choose to operate the machine by installing a battery without an external power supply, which is suitable for more scenarios. Support feet 17 are provided at the bottom of the shell 10, and the height of the battery compartment 16 is higher than the support feet 17. Placing the battery compartment 16 at a higher position can avoid potential safety hazards caused by reasons such as the water cup being knocked over. At least two interfaces are provided on the power supply interface module 14. Providing multiple types of power supply interfaces (such as USB, Type-C, etc.) makes the shredder compatible with different types of power cords or mobile power supplies, enhancing its scope of application and convenience.

[0031] In the present application, the shredder mechanism 20 includes an assembly frame 21, on which are mounted two sets of interlocking shredder shafts 22. The assembly frame 21 includes a guide member 23, one end of which is mounted on the paper inlet 11 and the other end is mounted on the paper outlet 12. A guide channel 24 is provided in the middle of the guide member 23, and the interlocking portion of the two sets of shredder shafts 22 is located within the guide channel 24. A gear transmission group 25 is provided on one side of the assembly frame 21, and the two sets of shredder shafts 22 are connected and driven by the gear transmission group 25. The gear transmission group 25 is driven by a drive motor 26. This design eliminates the need for storing shredded paper strips, which helps reduce the size of the shredder and makes the internal structure of the shredder compact and reasonable.
