Abstract:
1. A work tank of an electric discharge machining device comprising: a tank body having an open front surface and an openable and closable door, in which a workpiece for electric discharge machining is taken in and out of the tank body while the front surface of the tank body not being closed by the door, and a machining fluid for the electric discharge machining is stored in the tank body with the front surface of the tank body being closed by the door; a pair of handle bars that are placed right and left of the tank body, each of which includes a rotation central shaft axially supported by a side surface of the tank body so as to be slidable in a front-back direction at a back end part thereof and a hanging unit provided in a protruding manner at an intermediate portion thereof, and is rotatable about the rotation central shaft serving as an axis; a handle that is installed between front end parts of the pair of handle bars; a pair of door stays that are placed at right and left of the tank body so as to be hung from the handle bars by the hanging unit and the door is installed between one of the paired door stays and the other one of the door stays; a guide rail that moves up and down the door stay hung from each handle bar and the door in a predetermined range according to rotation of the handle bars and that can move the door stay and the door having reached a highest point backward with respect to a position at a time of an up-down movement; a load receiving unit that supports a load of the door stay and the door that are guided by the guide rail having been moved backward with respect to the position at the time of the up-down movement; and a stopper that restricts downward rotation and a frontward movement of each handle bar at a predetermined rotation position when the handle bars are rotated downward in a state where the load of the door stay and the door is supported by the load receiving unit, wherein the door is guided by the guide rail to reach the highest point and closes the front surface of the tank body when moved backward with respect to the position at the time of the up-down movement.
