The micro switch 42 is turned on and off to give a control signal, so that the rotating shutter 6 stops rotating at 180° or 90°. When the rotating shutter 6 rotates to the 180° closed state, the two rotating shutters 6 are parallel to block the front of the air outlet 40. At this time, the air is discharged from both sides, and the air is discharged from the air outlet grilles 14 on the left and right sides of the main unit. Figure 2a When the left and right two rotating shutters 6 are rotated to 90 °, the two rotating shutters 6 are vertically located on the left and right sides of the air outlet 40, and the wind is discharged forward at this time, and the wind is discharged from the air outlet mesh plate 12, such as Figure 2b As shown, the air inlet and outlet are shown by the arrows in the figure; in addition, when heating is needed, the PTC heating element 5 works to blow out warm air and is used as a heater; the host 1 can be selected to shake its head left or right or not according to needs.

[0033] Because it has dual air ducts and uniform air output, it only needs to run at a low speed to achieve the effect of single-duct high-speed operation, which greatly reduces noise and improves the user's sleep quality. The air outlet direction is adjustable, making it flexible and convenient to use. It also has a heating function, making it convenient to use as a heater in cold seasons.

[0034] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention.
