A plurality of second brushes 8 are movably installed on the second bracket 4. The brush surfaces of the first brushes 7 and the second brushes 8 are respectively in contact with the front and back surfaces of the fan 6. By respectively arranging the first bracket 3 and the second bracket 4 at the front and back of the fan 6, and through the arrangement of the first brushes 7 and the second brushes 8, when the motor 5 drives the fan 6 to rotate for heat dissipation, the front and back surfaces of the fan 6 respectively rub against the first brushes 7 and the second brushes 8, so that the two surfaces of the fan 6 are always in a clean state, and the dust cleaned is discharged by the wind generated by the rotation of the fan 6, thereby achieving the purpose of self-cleaning. Compared with the prior art, complex manual cleaning is avoided.

[0023] Specifically, in this embodiment, a protective cover 9 is movably installed on the back surface of the cabinet body 1. The protective cover 9 is located at the through hole 2.
