Abstract: 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.

The feed device has a spring energy store and a cylinder-piston unit. The cylinder-piston unit has a piston that separates a displacement chamber from a compensation chamber. A passage cross-section between the displacement chamber and the compensation chamber can be changed in a load-dependent manner by a piston disk that can be applied at a piston end side. The tension force of the tension spring of a minimal effective length is between 1.5 and 3.5 times the total static friction force of the sliding door leaf and the resistance of the cylinder-piston unit at the maximum passage cross-section.

Abstract: A door opener capable of controlling the door closing speed includes a driving device and a generator mode operating module electrically connected to the driving device. The driving device includes a motor which can be supplied with power to pivot a door from an open position to a closed position. The driving device detects the position of the door by a switch. When pivotal movement of the door is achieved without supplying power to the door, the pivotal movement sets the generator mode operating module to a generator mode or a non-generator mode. In the generator mode, the motor is impeded by the electromagnetic resistance, such that the pivoting speed of the door is reduced. In the non-generator mode, the motor is not impeded by the electromagnetic resistance, such that the pivoting speed of the door is increased.
