<p>To provide a hot press forming apparatus and a hot press forming method which are capable of shortening time required from start of heating a blank to termination of forming the blank, that is suitable for die quenching, and a hot press forming apparatus downsizable and a hot press forming method suitably executed in the downsized hot press forming apparatus. A hot press forming apparatus 1 that hot press forms a blank to process the blank into a formed product comprises: a conduction heating mechanism 3 installed in the hot press forming apparatus 1, the conduction heating mechanism clamping the fed blank at a predetermined conducting position P1 so as to be in a conveyance-stopped state, and performs conduction heating onto the blank; a die quenching type hot press mechanism 4 installed in the hot press forming apparatus 1 and disposed thermally isolated downstream of the conduction heating mechanism 3, the hot press mechanism 4 hot pressing the blank subjected to conduction heating at a predetermined processing position P2; and a conveying mechanism 5 installed in the hot press forming apparatus 1. The conveying mechanism 5 conveys the blank subjected to conduction heating at least from the conducting position P1 to the processing position P2, to supply the blank to the hot press mechanism 4.</p> |
