AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
In existing technologies, the fan needs to be removed from the air conditioner unit for maintenance, which makes maintenance inconvenient.
Method used
The design incorporates a rotatable fan module that can open or close relative to the main body. When closed, the fan module drives airflow through the heat exchanger for heat exchange and is connected to the main body via hinges or L-shaped clips. The fan within the fan module can be pre-installed and controlled independently.
Benefits of technology
It enables maintenance without disassembling the fan, improving maintenance convenience and assembly efficiency. It also allows for the independent start-up and shutdown of fan modules as needed, simplifying the maintenance process.

Abstract
This utility model provides an air conditioner, comprising a body, a fan module, and a heat exchanger, with the heat exchanger mounted on the body. The fan module is rotatably mounted on the body, allowing it to open or close relative to the body. When closed relative to the body, the fan module drives airflow through the heat exchanger, facilitating heat exchange between the air and the heat exchanger. Compared to existing technologies that require disassembling the fan for maintenance, this utility model's openable fan module allows for maintenance simply by opening the module, eliminating the need for fan disassembly and simplifying repairs. Furthermore, the fan module can be pre-installed individually, improving overall assembly efficiency and saving installation time. Additionally, different fan modules are controlled by different control modules and power switches, enabling individual fan module start / stop. This allows for the activation of the corresponding fan module based on required airflow, or the independent power disconnection of a single fan module for individual maintenance.
