Der Rotorkörper des Rotors 70 setzt sich aus mehreren Rotorscheiben 130 mit insbesondere zwei unterschiedlichen Scheibendurchmessern zusammen, wobei die Rotorscheiben 130 nebeneinander dergestalt angeordnet sind, dass eine Rotorscheibe 13A mit einem größeren Rotordurchmesser auf eine Rotorscheibe 13B mit einem kleineren Rotordurchmesser folgt. Am Randbereich der mit einem vorbestimmten Abstand voneineinander montierten Rotorscheiben 13A und 13B sind die Hartmetallmesser 30 auf geeignete Weise befestigt, z.B. durch Schraub-, Klemm-, Niet-, Löt- oder sonstige an sich bekannte Verbindungsweise.The rotor body of the rotor 70 is composed of a plurality of rotor disks 130, in particular two different disk diameters, the rotor disks 130 being arranged side by side in such a way that a rotor disk 13A with a larger rotor diameter follows a rotor disk 13B with a smaller rotor diameter. At the periphery of the rotor disks 13A and 13B mounted at a predetermined distance from one another, the hard metal blades 30 are suitably fixed, e.g. by screwing, clamping, riveting, soldering or other known manner of connection.

Bei dem in den Fig. 9 und 10 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung sind die Messerschneiden 80 der Hartmetallmesser 30 in axialer Richtung 100 des Rotors in Reihe alternierend bzw. wechselweise dergestalt angeordnet, dass die winkelstellung unmittelbar benachbarter Messerschneiden 8 A und 8 B unterschiedlich ist.In the in the FIGS. 9 and 10 illustrated embodiment of the invention, the knife edges 80 of the hard metal blades 30 in the axial direction 100 of the rotor in series alternately or alternately arranged such that the angular position of immediately adjacent knife edges 8 A and 8 B is different.

Bei dem in Fig. 11 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung sind die Messerschneiden 8 C und 8 D der Hartmetallmesser 30 in Umfangsrichtung 110 des Rotors 70 alternierend bzw. wechselweise versetzt über den Umfang verteilt angeordnet.At the in Fig. 11 illustrated embodiment of the invention, the knife edges 8 C and 8 D of the hard metal blades 30 in the circumferential direction 110 of the rotor 70 are arranged alternately or alternately offset distributed over the circumference.

Durch die schräge Anordnung der Schneidwerkzeuge 80 zu den Rotorscheiben 130 wird ein Schnitt schräg zur Faser des Stammholzes 8 möglich, wodurch der Kraftaufwand vermindert wird. Die jeweilige Gegenschneide 120 ist ebenfalls schräg ausgebildet, um einen exakten Schnitt zu gewährleisten (vgl. Fig. 12).Due to the oblique arrangement of the cutting tools 80 to the rotor disks 130, a cut obliquely to the fiber of the trunk wood 8 is possible, whereby the effort is reduced. The respective counter-blade 120 is also obliquely formed to ensure an exact cut (see. Fig. 12 ).

In Fig. 13 und 14 ist ein weiteres bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung dargestellt. Die Zerkleinerungseinrichtung 9 ist vermittels einer in den Figuren 13 und 14 nur schematisch angedeuteten elektrischen Isolation 40 gegenüber der Zuführeinrichtung 2 elektrisch isoliert angeordnet bzw. ausgebildet. Beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Zerkleinerungseinrichtung 9 durch eine zwischen der Lagerung 31 der Zerkleinerungseinrichtung 9 und einem Chassis 50 vorgesehene Isolationsmatte oder Isolationsfolie 40 von den anderen Bauteilen der erfindungsgemäßen Holzzerkleinerungsmaschine elektrisch/magnetisch isoliert.In FIGS. 13 and 14 is shown a further preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention. The comminuting device 9 is arranged or formed in an electrically insulated manner relative to the feed device 2 by means of an electrical insulation 40, which is indicated only schematically in FIGS. 13 and 14. In the illustrated embodiment, the shredding device 9 is electrically / magnetically isolated by a provided between the storage 31 of the shredder 9 and a chassis 50 insulation mat or insulation film 40 from the other components of the wood shredder according to the invention.

Es ist eine auf die (nicht näher dargestellte) Antriebssteuerung der Zerkleinerungseinrichtung 9 wirkende Detektorschaltung 110 vorgesehen, welche ein von einem elektrisch leitenden oder magnetischen Fremdkörper 17 verursachtes und/oder beeinflusstes elektrisches oder magnetisches Signal detektiert, und als Reaktion hierauf die Antriebssteuerung der Zerkleinerungseinrichtung 9 im Sinne eines selbsttätigen Anhaltens, Abstellens oder Zurückfahrens der Zerkleinerungsvorrichtung 9 steuert.There is provided on the (not shown) drive control of the crusher 9 acting detector circuit 110 which detects a caused by an electrically conductive or magnetic foreign body 17 and / or influenced electrical or magnetic signal, and in response to the drive control of the crusher 9 in The sense of an automatic stopping, stopping or driving back the crushing device 9 controls.

Beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist zwischen der Zerkleinerungseinrichtung 9 und der Zuführeinrichtung 2 eine elektrische Spannung U angelegt. Wird nun ein metallischer Fremdkörper 17 eingezogen und berührt die Zerkleinerungseinheit 9 und ein anderes Bauteil der Holzzerkleinerungsmaschine, so wird der Stromkreis geschlossen und es kann ein elektrisches Signal von der Detektorschaltung 110 erfasst werden. Auf dieses Signal hin wird der Einzug durch die Fördereinrichtung 2 und/oder die Zerkleinerungseinheit 1 unverzüglich angehalten bzw. zurückgefahren, und auf diese Weise Schäden an der Maschine 9 verhindert. Durch einen zwischen die Schneideinrichtung 9 und die Zuführeinrichtung 2 eindringenden Fremdkörper 17 wird somit ein elektrischer Stromfluss durch die Detektorschaltung 110 erfasst und ausgewertet.In the illustrated embodiment, an electrical voltage U is applied between the shredder 9 and the feeder 2. If a metallic foreign body 17 is now drawn in and touches the comminution unit 9 and another component of the wood comminution machine, the circuit is closed and an electrical signal can be detected by the detector circuit 110. In response to this signal, the intake by the conveyor 2 and / or the comminution unit 1 is immediately stopped or retracted, and thus prevents damage to the machine 9. Thus, an electrical current flow through the detector circuit 110 is detected and evaluated by a foreign body 17 penetrating between the cutting device 9 and the feed device 2.
