[0025] The following paragraphs describe the present invention in more detail by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the drawings are simplified and not to exact proportions, and are only used for the purpose of conveniently and clearly explaining the embodiments of the present invention.
[0026] Where there are descriptions involving “first”, “second”, “third”, etc. in this utility model, the descriptions of “first”, “second”, “third”, etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and do not specifically refer to the order or sequence, nor are they used to limit this utility model. They are only used to distinguish components or operations described with the same technical terms, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of a fan cover that is easy to maintain provided by an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 1As shown, the fan cover that is easy to maintain includes a fan protective cover 11 and a fan mounting seat 12. The fan mounting seat 12 and the fan protective cover 11 are both located outside the container and are connected to the container. The fan mounting seat 12 is used to fix the fan (not shown in the figure). The internal hollow of the fan protective cover 11 forms a mounting cavity. The fan mounting seat 12 is located in the mounting cavity, that is, the fan protective cover 11 covers the fan and the fan mounting seat 12. A first vent 21 connected to the interior is opened at a corresponding position of the container. A second vent 117 connected to the external environment is opened on the fan protective cover 11. The fan draws air from the second vent 117 and sends it into the container through the first vent 21, or the fan draws air from the first vent 21 and discharges it through the second vent 117, thereby achieving heat dissipation and cooling of the container. Since the fan is installed outside the container with the fan mounting seat 12, it does not occupy the space inside the container. Moreover, when the fan needs maintenance, it can be carried out outside the container without entering the container, which increases the maintenance operation space and is convenient for maintenance. The fan protective cover 11 covers the fan to prevent dust and water, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the fan. In this embodiment, the fan protective cover 11 is bolted to the container and can be removed during maintenance.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the easily maintainable fan cover provided by the present embodiment also includes a filter assembly 13. The filter assembly 13 can be connected to the fan guard 11 or the fan mounting base 12, corresponding to the position of the second vent 117 and communicating with the fan, thereby filtering impurities in the air outside the container and preventing clogging when the fan is sucked in. In this embodiment, the fan guard 11 can be attached to the outer wall of the container, and the filter assembly 13 is removably connected to the fan guard 11 and located below the fan guard 11. The second vent 117 can be provided at the bottom of the fan guard 11.

In this embodiment, the first side plate 112 and the first support plate 115 are integrally formed, and the second side plate 113 and the second support plate 116 are integrally formed. The first support plate 115 and the second support plate 116 can increase the strength of the first side plate 115 and the second side plate 116 and can be used to support the filter assembly 13.
[0031] Please refer to Figure 3 , is a schematic diagram of a fan mounting base provided by an embodiment of the present utility model. The fan mounting base 12 includes a front mounting member 121 and a rear mounting member. The front mounting member 121 is in the shape of a vertical flat plate and is parallel to the outer wall of the container. A third vent 1211 is provided at the center of the front mounting member 121. A plurality of fixing holes for fixing the fan are provided circumferentially around the third vent 1211. The fan is installed on a side away from the container. After the fan is installed, the air outlet is coaxial with the third vent 1211. The rear mounting part includes a top plate 122, a bottom plate 123 and a rear plate 124. The top plate 122 and the bottom plate 123 are vertically connected to the front mounting part 121 and are relatively located above and below the fan. The rear plate 124 is connected to the top plate 122 and the bottom plate 123 and is located behind the fan. The rear plate 124 is parallel to the front mounting part 121. The side of the top plate 122 close to the front mounting part 121 is bent upward, and the strength is increased by the bent part and is bolted to the front mounting part 121. The side of the top plate 122 away from the front mounting part 121 is connected to the top of the rear plate 124. The bottom plate 123 has the same structural dimensions as the top plate 122 and is symmetrically arranged. Both the top plate 122 and the bottom plate 123 are provided with an exhaust port 1221, wherein the position of the exhaust port on the bottom plate 123 corresponds to the position of the second ventilation port 117, and the fan draws or exhausts air through the exhaust port 1221. The left and right sides of the rear plate 124 are bent toward the front mounting member 121 to increase strength. A retaining hole 1241 is provided at the center of the rear plate 124. The back of the fan is connected to the rear plate 124 through the retaining hole 1241, thereby improving the stability of the fan installation. In this embodiment, the rear mounting member is made of sheet metal integrally formed.
[0032] Please refer to Figure 4 , is a schematic diagram of a filter assembly provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The filter assembly includes a filter screen 131 and a bracket 132. The filter screen 131 is embedded in the bracket 132. The bracket 132 is in the shape of a frame with a hollow center. The frame body around it can hold up the filter screen 131. The hollow center is used for air circulation. When the filter screen 131 needs to be replaced, it can also be directly pulled out from the hollow center of the bracket 132 for replacement. Figure 5 As shown, the filter assembly 13 is located at the bottom of the fan protective cover 11 and is located on the first support plate 115 and the second support plate 116. It is supported by the first support plate 115 and the second support plate 116, and the top of the filter assembly 13 is lower than the bottom of the sealing plate 114, that is, the filter assembly 13 is located below the sealing plate 114. When the filter assembly needs to be replaced and repaired, or when the fan needs to be maintained, the filter assembly 13 can be pulled out from the bottom of the sealing plate 114 to perform the corresponding maintenance operation. Specifically, the bracket 132 and the first support plate 115 and the second support plate 116 can also be connected by bolts to fix them to prevent the filter assembly 13 from vibrating and sliding when the fan is running.
