Shredding device

Abstract

The system cannot detect whether the paper shredder box is loaded, and if the user forgets to load the box, there is a risk that the shredded paper fragments will be scattered inside and outside the aircraft. [Solution] The shredding device comprises a shredding unit for shredding paper, a paper box for storing the paper scraps and detachable from the housing, a weight sensor provided on the lower side of the paper box for measuring the weight of the paper scraps, a control unit for controlling the measurement by the weight sensor, a notification unit for notifying the user of the measurement result by the weight sensor, a door that is opened when the paper box is removed from the housing, and an open / close detection sensor for detecting the opening and closing of the door. The control unit is characterized in that, after the open / close detection sensor determines that the door is in a closed state, it performs a measurement by the weight sensor and makes an error determination that the paper box is not loaded into the housing if the result of the measurement falls below a standard value.
