Through the mounting plate 42 and the mounting holes 43, and in conjunction with the mounting bolts, the outer casing 1 can be fixed in the desired installation position.

[0025] Working Principle: In use, the mounting plate 42 and mounting holes 43, along with the mounting bolts, fix the outer casing 1 to the desired installation position. When fixing the inverter body 3, it is placed on two support seats 2. Then, the rotating plate 15 in the drive mechanism is turned. The rotating plate 15 drives the first transmission wheel 16 to rotate via the rotating rod 13. The first transmission wheel 16 drives the second transmission wheel 17 to rotate via the first transmission chain 18, thereby causing the left threaded rod 5 to rotate. The left threaded rod 5, through the cooperation of the third transmission wheel 19 and the second transmission chain 20, drives the right threaded rod 5 to rotate, thus achieving the rotation of both threaded rods 5. The rotation of the two threaded rods 5 causes the moving sleeve 6 to move under the cooperation of the moving rod 7 and the moving groove 9. The moving rod 7 then drives the pressure plate 8 to move, clamping the inverter body 3 and facilitating the installation of the inverter body 3. The anti-slip layer 41 enhances the friction between the pressure plate 8 and the inverter body 3, improving the stability of the installation. Similarly, it facilitates disassembly of the inverter body 3 during later maintenance and repairs, resulting in high disassembly efficiency. For heat dissipation, the cooling fan 32 in the heat dissipation mechanism can be activated. The rotation of the cooling fan 32 draws outside air into the inverter body 3, and then exhausts the heat from the outer casing 1 through the heat dissipation slot 10, achieving air circulation and excellent heat dissipation, thus avoiding any impact on its working efficiency. The first dustproof net 11 can be installed and disassembled through the cooperation of the placement slot 21, the first dustproof net 11, the limiting plate 22, the slot 23, the first locking plate 24, and the first locking slot 25, facilitating later cleaning and replacement. The first dustproof net 11 prevents dust from entering. The cooperation of the first sealing ring 26 and the first sealing slot 27 enhances the protection of the first dustproof net 11. The sealing of the connection with the placement slot 21 is achieved through the setting of the connecting housing 28, fixing plate 29 and fixing bolt 30 in the heat dissipation mechanism, which can fix the heat dissipation mechanism to the lower surface of the inverter body 3. The setting of the cover plate 33, the first connecting plate 34, the second connecting plate 35, the second clamping plate 36 and the second clamping groove 37 can realize the installation and removal of the cover plate 33, and then facilitate the cleaning and replacement of the second dustproof net 40 on the cover plate 33 in the future. The setting of the second dustproof net 40 can prevent dust from entering. The cooperation of the second sealing ring 38 and the second sealing groove 39 can enhance the sealing of the connection between the cover plate 33 and the connecting housing 28.
