Abstract
The hooking system of the lid (4) to the sliding plate comprises grooves (27) provided in the heating ceramic plate (11), to accommodate rails made of refractory steel. These rails (26) enable on the one hand to fix the ceramic plate (11) below the metal plate (10), via tension rods (14) and, on the other hand, to hook the lid (4), using H-section parts (22) that nest into T-shaped grooves (25) of the said rails and in identical T-shaped grooves provided opposite to one another in the upper section of the lid (4).
Claims12
A hooking system arrangement of a forming tool lid attached on a sliding plate of a hot forming press, wherein the lid has a T-shaped groove formed therein and the sliding plate includes a water-cooled upper metal plate and a lower ceramic plate positioned below the metal plate, the ceramic plate having a plurality of heating elements, the hooking system arrangement comprising:
- a plurality of H-section parts,
- a plurality of tension rods;
- and
- a plurality of rails that are inserted in corresponding reception grooves formed in the ceramic plate,
- wherein each rail, which has a T-shaped groove formed therein, is engaged by a corresponding tension rod to fix the ceramic plate onto the metal plate, and
- wherein a corresponding H-section part is provided in the T-shaped groove of the lid and the T-shaped groove of the rail to fasten the lid to the ceramic plate.
