[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a vacuum-based SMC new material production device includes an equipment base 1 and a front conveyor belt 101 and a rear conveyor belt 102 disposed at the front and rear ends of the equipment base 1. The equipment base 1 includes a base plate 11 and a support frame 12. The support frame 12 is installed on the upper surface of the base plate 11 and is fixedly connected to the base plate 11. A positioning seat 2 is also fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base plate 11. A swing arm frame 3 is also installed on the positioning seat 2. The swing arm frame 3 is rotatably connected to the positioning seat 2. An angle motor 4 that drives the swing arm frame 3 to rotate is also fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base plate 11. A disc frame 5 is fixedly installed on the outer end of the swing arm frame 3. An adsorption component 6 is fixedly installed on the disc frame 5. A vacuum pump 7 connected to the adsorption component 6 is fixedly installed on the positioning seat 2. A drying component 8 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support frame 12. By setting up a front conveyor belt 101 and a rear conveyor belt 102, the transport of new SMC materials is facilitated. During use, the front conveyor belt 101 transports the SMC product to be heated to a designated position, and after heating, the SMC product is moved to the rear conveyor belt 102, achieving continuous production. The equipment base 1 is designed with a seat plate 11 and a support frame 12 working together. During use, the support frame 12 stably supports the drying assembly 8. Simultaneously, the angle motor 4 drives the swing arm frame 3 to rotate, moving the adsorption assembly 6 to different positions, facilitating the transfer of adsorbed SMC products between the front conveyor belt 101, the drying assembly 8, and the rear conveyor belt 102. A vacuum pump 7 is connected to the adsorption assembly 6, utilizing vacuum technology to adsorb the new SMC material, improving adsorption stability. The drying assembly 8 dries the adsorbed and transferred material, ensuring production quality.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the positioning seat 2 includes a seat housing 21 and a support frame 22. The support frame 22 is vertically fixed to the upper end face of the seat plate 11, and the seat housing 21 is installed on the upper end face of the support frame 22. The seat housing 21 and the support frame 22 are integrally formed. The integrally formed seat housing 21 and support frame 22 of the positioning seat 2 provide a stable structure, which can provide reliable support and positioning for the swing arm frame 3 and ensure the stability of the swing arm frame 3's rotation.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the swing arm frame 3 includes a housing part 31 and a horizontal plate 32. The housing part 31 is rotatably mounted in the base housing 21, and the horizontal plate 32 is mounted on the head of the housing part 31 and is fixedly connected to the housing part 31. This structural design allows the swing arm frame 3 to rotate flexibly and accurately move the adsorption assembly 6 to the desired position.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the adsorption assembly 6 includes a frame 61 and a suction cup assembly 62. The suction cup assembly 62 is evenly installed in the frame 61 along the circumferential direction and is fixedly connected to the frame 61. By designing the adsorption assembly 6 into a structure where the frame 61 and the suction cup assembly 62 cooperate, the suction cup assembly 62 is evenly installed in the frame 61 along the circumferential direction during use, enabling multi-point adsorption of the SMC new material, improving the firmness and uniformity of adsorption, and preventing the material from falling off during transfer. The frame 61 includes an outer frame ring 611 and an inner frame 612 for mounting the suction cup assembly 62. The inner frame 612 is evenly installed on the inner side of the outer frame ring 611 along the circumferential direction, and is integrally formed with the outer frame ring 611. The integrally formed outer frame ring 611 and inner frame 612 of the frame 61 provide high structural strength, providing a stable mounting base for the suction cup assembly 62 and ensuring the overall stability of the adsorption assembly 6. The suction cup assembly 62 includes a vertical tube 621 and a flexible suction cup 622. The vertical tube 621 is fixedly mounted on the inner frame 612, and the flexible suction cup 622 is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the vertical tube 621. The flexible suction cup 622 of the suction cup assembly 62 can better adhere to the surface of the SMC new material, enhance the adsorption effect, and at the same time avoid damage to the material surface.

[0030] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the drying assembly 8 includes a concave outer frame 81, an upper heating plate 82, and a lower heating plate 83. The concave outer frame 81 is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the support frame 12. The upper heating plate 82 and the lower heating plate 83 are symmetrically installed on the upper and lower sides of the inner side of the concave outer frame 81. The symmetrical installation of the upper heating plate 82 and the lower heating plate 83 on the upper and lower sides of the inner side of the concave outer frame 81 in the drying assembly 8 enables simultaneous heating of the SMC new material from both the top and bottom, achieving uniform drying and improving drying efficiency and quality.

[0031] In this embodiment, during actual use, the new SMC material is conveyed to the adsorption assembly 6 via the rear conveyor belt 102. The vacuum pump 7 is activated, causing the flexible suction cups 622 of the adsorption assembly 6 to generate a vacuum adsorption force, thus adsorbing the new SMC material. The angle motor 4 is activated, driving the swing arm frame 3 to rotate, moving the adsorption assembly 6 with the adsorbed SMC material into the drying assembly 8. The upper heating plate 82 and lower heating plate 83 of the drying assembly 8 are activated, simultaneously heating and drying the new SMC material from both above and below. After drying, the angle motor 4 drives the swing arm frame 3 to rotate again, moving the adsorption assembly 6 above the front conveyor belt 101. The vacuum pump 7 is then turned off, allowing the new SMC material to fall onto the rear conveyor belt 102 and be conveyed out by it. This achieves efficient adsorption and transfer of the new SMC material and uniform drying, improving production quality and efficiency.

[0032] The above are preferred embodiments of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any obvious improvements, substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
