[0030] In a specific implementation, as shown in FIG4 , rotating rods 16 are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the air induction chamber 10 through bearings, blades 17 are installed on the rotating rods 16 , and a graphene coating 21 is coated on the inner wall of the casing 1 .

[0031] In a specific implementation, as shown in FIG7 , heat dissipation components 14 are provided inside both sides of the casing 1. The heat dissipation components 14 include a conductive sheet 1401, a metal plate 1402 and a heat dissipation block 1403. The conductive sheet 1401 and the heat dissipation block 1403 are respectively welded on both sides of the metal plate 1402. A receiving cavity is provided inside both sides of the casing 1. A card slot and a heat dissipation groove are provided on both sides of the receiving cavity.

Since the inner wall of the casing 1 is coated with a graphene coating 21, it is able to absorb part of the heat generated inside the casing 1, thereby being able to achieve natural heat dissipation from multiple aspects.

[0037] Example 3:

[0038] This embodiment provides an installation structure for a natural heat dissipation inverter, including a housing 1 and a front cover 2. Connecting pieces 28 are welded on both sides of the housing 1, and connecting grooves 29 are opened on both sides of the rear side of the front cover 2.
