Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A door open and close mechanism for opening and closing a plurality of doors in a machine tool including a cover. The door open and close mechanism includes a linkage mechanism and a slide mechanism. The linkage mechanism is disposed between an operation door and an intermediate door. The linkage mechanism associates the intermediate door with the opening and closing of the operation door. The slide mechanism is disposed between the operation door and the linkage mechanism. The slide mechanism enables the operation door alone to open and close by a predetermined moving distance. When the operation door is operated to open and close within the moving distance, the operation door alone opens and closes by the slide mechanism. When the operation door is operated to open and close beyond the moving distance, the intermediate door opens and closes in association through the linkage mechanism.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A door open and close mechanism for opening and closing a plurality of doors in a machine tool including a cover to open and close an opening portion using the plurality of doors, the plurality of doors including an operation door operated to open and close and at least one intermediate door, the door open and close mechanism comprising: a linkage mechanism disposed between the operation door and the intermediate door, the linkage mechanism associating the intermediate door with the opening and closing of the operation door; and a slide mechanism disposed between the operation door and the linkage mechanism, the slide mechanism enabling the operation door alone to open and close by a predetermined moving distance, wherein when the operation door is operated to open and close within the moving distance, wherein the operation door alone opens and closes by the slide mechanism, and when the operation door is operated to open and close beyond the moving distance, the intermediate door opens and closes in association through the linkage mechanism, wherein the linkage mechanism uses a rack and pinion mechanism, wherein the rack and pinion mechanism includes a moving side rack disposed on a side of the operation door, a fixed side rack disposed on a side of the cover, a first pinion disposed on a side of the intermediate door and meshing with the moving side rack, and a second pinion disposed coaxially with the first pinion and meshing with the fixed side rack, and wherein the slide mechanism is disposed between the operation door and the moving side rack.
