Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of SMC sheet drying oven rack technology, and in particular to an SMC sheet drying oven rack. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of composite material processing, SMC (sheet molding compound) sheets are an important raw material for manufacturing automotive parts, electrical appliance housings, and other products. The drying quality of SMC sheets directly affects the precision of subsequent molding processes and product performance. Traditional SMC sheet drying equipment typically adopts a fixed oven rack structure, mainly composed of an internal support base, a fixed-height bracket, and a simple clamping device. The bracket is fixedly installed on the internal support base, and the sheet is fixed in place by the clamping device before the drying operation.

[0003] However, the fixed supports of the oven racks in existing drying equipment cannot rotate the sheet, causing hot air to only contact a local surface of the sheet. This often results in over-drying at the edges and under-drying in the center. This problem is particularly prominent for large-sized sheets, where the uniformity of drying in the thickness direction is more pronounced, which seriously affects the consistency of the resin curing degree of the sheet.

[0004] Secondly, the fixed and non-adjustable height of the support frame necessitates frequent replacement of the appropriate drying rack when dealing with different specifications of SMC sheets (such as various types with thicknesses of 0.5–5 mm and widths of 1–3 m). This not only increases equipment procurement costs but also reduces production efficiency due to downtime for rack replacement. Furthermore, traditional clamping devices often employ bolt fastening or rigid claw structures, requiring individual bolt tightening during sheet installation and reverse operation during disassembly. This results in lengthy loading and unloading times for single batches of sheets, leading to high labor intensity and low efficiency for workers. Utility Model Content
