Of course, the mounting edge 321 can also be directly connected to the front of the housing assembly 1, so as to achieve the purpose of hanging the rear air guide plate 32 above the corresponding secondary air inlet 102.

[0036] Furthermore, the air guide assembly 3 also includes a reinforcing bracket 33, which is in a "Z" shape or a "concave" shape. The left and right ends of the mounting section 311 of the front air guide plate 31 are respectively connected to the front side of the outer shell assembly 1 through the reinforcing bracket 33 to further enhance the mounting strength of the front air guide plate 31.

[0037] Example 2
