The output ends of the two reducers 15 are fixedly connected to one end of each of the two shredding shafts 13. The output ends of the two servo motors 14 are fixedly connected to the input ends of the two reducers 15. Through the power provided by the two servo motors 14 in conjunction with the shredding box 12, and the reduction in speed and increase in torque of the reducers 15, the two shredding shafts 13 can be driven to rotate simultaneously towards the center position, ensuring the smooth operation of the metal shredding process.
[0027] The fixed frame 1 has a sliding connection to the movable frame 3 inside. The outer surfaces of the two screws 2 are threaded to the inner wall of the movable frame 3. The left side of the shredding box 12 is fixedly connected to two positioning frames 16. The left side of the two positioning frames 16 is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixed frame 1. The positioning frames 16 can fix the position of the fixed frame 1, so that the fixed frame 1 and the shredding box 12 are firmly connected, ensuring the stability of the fixed frame 1 in use.
[0028] The upper surface of the movable frame 3 is fixedly connected to the feeding frame 4. The inner bottom wall of the feeding frame 4 is an inclined surface with a certain angle. The right side of the feeding frame 4 is in contact with the left side of the fixed frame 1. One side of the two positioning frames 16 is fixedly connected to the feeding hood 17. The bottom surface of the feeding hood 17 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the shredding box 12. The left side of the feeding hood 17 is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixed frame 1. The feeding hood 17 can better receive metal waste, making it smoother when the metal waste enters the shredding box 12 for shredding.
[0029] Two guide rails 5 are fixedly connected to the left side of the fixed frame 1. The sides of the two guide rails 5 that are close to each other are in contact with the front and back of the feeding frame 4, respectively. Roller frames 6 are fixedly connected to the front and back of the feeding frame 4 and the front and back of the moving frame 3, respectively. Each roller frame 6 is slidably connected inside the guide rail 5. Two guide plates 18 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shredding box 12. The upper surfaces of the two guide plates 18 are inclined surfaces with a certain angle. The two guide plates 18 are respectively set above the two shredding shafts 13. The guide plates 18 can guide the metal waste into the shredding box 12, so that the metal waste can smoothly enter between the two shredding shafts 13 and be shredded smoothly.
[0030] A dual-axis motor 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixed frame 1. Connecting rods 8 are fixedly connected to both output ends of the dual-axis motor 7. A support frame 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the shredding box 12. Four mounting plates 20 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support frame 19. The support frame 19 can support the position of the device. The mounting plates 20, together with bolts and other fasteners, can fix the position of the device and increase the installation firmness of the device.
[0031] One end of each of the two connecting rods 8 is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear 9, and the bottom end of each of the two screws 2 is fixedly connected to a second bevel gear 10. The two second bevel gears 10 are respectively meshed with the two first bevel gears 9. The bottom surfaces of each of the two servo motors 14 are fixedly connected to a stabilizing seat 21. The opposite sides of the two stabilizing seats 21 are respectively fixedly connected to the front and back of the shredding box 12. The stabilizing seat 21 can increase the stability of the servo motor 14, making the servo motor 14 run more stably and reliably, and ensuring that the servo motor 14 can smoothly drive the shredding shaft 13 to rotate.
[0032] The upper surface of the fixed frame 1 is provided with a feeding port 11. The outer surfaces of the two connecting rods 8 are rotatably connected to two limiting frames 22. The upper surface of each limiting frame 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixed frame 1. The limiting frame 22 can increase the rotational stability of the connecting rods 8 without affecting the rotation of the connecting rods 8, and ensure the normal operation of the transmission of the connecting rods 8.
[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, the dual-axis motor 7 and servo motor 14 are first connected to an external power supply and controller. When metal scrap needs to be fed into the metal shredder for crushing, simply put the metal scrap into the feeding rack 4. Then, the dual-axis motor 7, in conjunction with the fixed frame 1, can drive the first bevel gear 9 to rotate via the connecting rod 8. The rotation of the first bevel gear 9, in conjunction with the second bevel gear 10, can drive the screw 2 to rotate. This, in turn, can drive the moving frame 3 and the feeding rack 4 to move upwards until the feeding rack 4 is parallel to the discharge port 11. Utilizing the inclined surface inside the feeding rack 4, the metal scrap can automatically pass through the discharge port 11 and the feed hood 17, falling into the shredding box 12 for shredding. This makes the metal shredder safer and more convenient to use. The metal scrap that needs to be shredded can be easily fed into the shredder for crushing without the need for an additional forklift to lift the metal scrap, which improves the safety and convenience of feeding the metal shredder. After the metal scrap falls into the shredding box 12, the power provided by the two servo motors 14, in conjunction with the shredding box 12 and the speed reduction and torque increase of the reducer 15, can drive the two shredding shafts 13 to rotate simultaneously towards the center position, ensuring the smooth progress of the metal shredding work. Finally, the roller frame 6 slides up and down inside the guide rail 5, which can improve the load-bearing capacity of the feeding frame 4 and the moving frame 3, and prevent the excessive force between the moving frame 3 and the screw 2 from causing the screw 2 to bend and deform. This makes the feeding frame 4 more stable and reliable when feeding metal scrap, further improving the smoothness and safety of the automatic feeding of the metal shredder.
