[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a support frame 103 is fixedly mounted on the air outlet side of the outer frame 1. The support frame 103 is used to limit the assembly and positioning of the fan blade assembly 101.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the dust filter limiting assembly 2 is fixedly assembled on the air inlet side of the outer frame 1. The dust filter limiting assembly 2 includes a fixing plate 201, which is inserted and assembled on the air inlet side of the outer frame 1. The fixing plate 201 assembles and fixes the second dust filter 202.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a second dust filter 202 is fixedly connected inside the fixed plate 201. The second dust filter 202 performs secondary dust filtration on the air guided by the fan blade assembly 101 during rotation.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, multiple positioning sleeves 203 are integrally formed on the side of the fixing plate 201 close to the outer frame 1, and the multiple positioning sleeves 203 are all inserted and assembled on the air inlet side of the outer frame 1. The fixing plate 201 is assembled and limited by the insertion and cooperation between the positioning sleeves 203 and the outer frame 1.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the linkage cleaning component 3 is mounted on the outside of the fixed plate 201. The linkage cleaning component 3 includes a positioning frame 301, which is fixedly mounted on the air inlet side of the outer frame 1. The positioning frame 301 assembles and fixes the first dust filter 302 and the connecting outer plate 311.

[0039] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown, spacers 307 are evenly distributed between multiple first fixing ear plates 305 and second fixing ear plates 306. The spacers 307 serve to connect and limit the first fixing ear plates 305 and second fixing ear plates 306. Multiple sets of fixing bolts 308 are fixedly connected between the multiple first fixing ear plates 305 and second fixing ear plates 306. The first fixing ear plates 305 and second fixing ear plates 306 are assembled and fixed using the multiple sets of fixing bolts 308.
[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, a first dust filter 302 is fixedly connected to the side of the positioning frame 301 opposite to the outer frame 1. The first dust filter 302 filters the air entering the outer frame 1.
[0041] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, a linkage shaft 303 is rotatably mounted inside the positioning frame 301. The linkage shaft 303 serves to connect the fan blade assembly 101 and the linkage shaft 303, so that the linkage shaft 303 can rotate synchronously with the rotation of the fan blade assembly 101.
[0042] It is worth noting that the linkage shaft 303 and the fan blade assembly 101 are fixedly connected by adhesive or welding. By connecting and fixing the linkage shaft 303 to the positioning frame 301, the linkage shaft 303 can rotate synchronously with the rotation of the positioning frame 301.
[0043] Preferably, the linkage shaft 303 and the fan blade assembly 101 are connected by adhesive bonding.
[0044] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown, multiple sets of evenly distributed cleaning plates 304 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the linkage shaft 303, and the cleaning plates 304 are configured in conjunction with the first dust filter 302.

The connecting outer plate 311 serves to connect the first dust filter 302 and the positioning frame 301.
[0048] In addition, the connecting outer plate 311 has multiple assembly through holes corresponding to the positioning through holes. The connecting outer plate 311 is assisted in assembly and fixation by means of assembly bolts 102 passing through the assembly through holes.
[0049] A chassis includes a cooling fan and a chassis body 4, with a side panel 5 fixedly mounted on one side of the chassis body 4.
[0050] In practical use, the cooling fan can be fixedly installed inside the chassis body 4 by means of threaded connection between the mounting bolt 102 and the chassis body 4. During the operation of the cooling fan, the rotation of the fan blade assembly 101 will drive the airflow, thereby dissipating heat from the chassis body 4.
[0051] When outside air enters the outer frame 1 under the guidance of the fan blade assembly 101, it is filtered by the first dust filter 302 and the second dust filter 202. The filtered air can then provide auxiliary cooling for the chassis body 4. Simultaneously, the fan blade assembly 101 rotates, causing the linkage shaft 303 to rotate synchronously. This linkage shaft 303 drives the cleaning plate 304 and cleaning brush 309 to rotate and clean the first dust filter 302, reducing the risk of dust blockage and ensuring the stability of the ventilation and dust filtration of the first dust filter 302.
[0052] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0053] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
