[0002] PLC is a computer control system specially used for industrial automation control. PLC solves many problems existing in traditional relay control systems. PLC can perform various complex automation control tasks according to pre-set logical rules and conditions by using programmable logic controllers. PLC can process and control input and output signals, as well as communicate with sensors, actuators and external devices to realize automatic control and data processing of various industrial processes. When using PLC controllers, heat dissipation structures such as fans are required.

[0003] The existing fan heat dissipation structure, after long-term use, the rotation of the fan will cause dust and debris in the air to deposit on the fan blades and heat sinks, which will increase wind resistance and cause the fan to be unable to generate sufficient airflow, resulting in a decrease in the heat dissipation effect. Dust, debris, etc. will accumulate on the external heat dissipation net. The existing heat dissipation net structure is fixed and not easy to clean. The accumulation will cause the heat dissipation net to be blocked, hindering the flow of air. The air cannot smoothly pass through the heat dissipation net to contact the heat sink, and the thermal conductivity will be affected, which will cause the PLC temperature to be too high, affecting its stability and life.
