Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner internal fan structure, and in particular to a fan module installation structure. Background Technology
[0002] With global energy shortages and increasing environmental awareness, energy conservation has become a focus across all industries. In the industrial sector, energy consumption of industrial air conditioning systems has always been a significant issue. To address this problem, energy-efficient industrial air conditioning systems have emerged. Traditional industrial air conditioners typically have their fan modules located at the top, and most utilize sheet metal bending technology. The overall frame consists of a top and bottom section, plus four supporting columns. While the top and bottom are formed from a single piece of sheet metal, this design ensures strength, but results in high material costs. Furthermore, the integrated processing and installation process makes subsequent disassembly, inspection, and maintenance inconvenient. Utility Model Content
