[0013] Beneficial effects:

[0014] This design introduces a novel air-cooled box-type chiller unit. By installing a cleaning component on the outside of the filter screen, during the filter cleaning process, the control panel controls the output ends of two sets of drive motors to rotate the threaded rod along the inside of the threaded seat. This, in turn, drives the support frame and cleaning brush to clean the filter screen along both the inside and outside.

A suction pipe 411 is provided on the outside of the three-way pipe 410. A suction head 412 is provided on one side of the suction pipe 411.

[0023] like Figure 1-2As shown, there are two sets of cooling fans 2, which are symmetrically distributed. A protective net is installed on the outside of the cooling fans 2. The heat dissipation window and the filter screen 3 are connected by bolts. A control panel is installed on the outside of the chiller casing 1. The control panel has control buttons and a display screen on the outside. The control panel has a control circuit board and a battery inside, which facilitates the control of the cleaning component 4 to clean the filter screen 3.

[0024] like Figure 2-4 As shown, there are two sets of drive motors 41, which are symmetrically distributed. The drive motors 41 are connected to the chiller casing 1 by bolts. There are two sets of sliding holes 42, which are symmetrically distributed. The output end of the drive motor 41 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 43.
