[0028] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 In the embodiment, the first air cavity 14 is close to the first air outlet 11, the second air cavity 15 is close to the motor 2, the first air cavity 14 and the second air cavity 15 are distributed along the axial direction of the shell 1, and both utilize the spiral shape of the shell 1 to guide airflow.
[0029] Optionally, the first air inlet 13 and the first impeller 3 are connected with the air inlet cover 16, the air inlet cover 16 is contained in the first air cavity 14, and the air inlet cover 16 is used for separating the inlet air flow and the outlet air flow in the first air cavity 14.
[0030] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 In the embodiment, the air inlet cover 16 guides the air in the first air inlet 13 into the first impeller 3, when the motor 2 drives the first impeller 3 to rotate, the first impeller 3 does work on the air, the gas enters the impeller center from the air inlet of the first impeller 3, and is radially thrown to the edge of the first impeller 3 under the action of centrifugal force.
[0031] Optionally, the first air cavity 14 and the second air cavity 15 are provided with the partition plate 17, the second air inlet 171 is arranged on the partition plate 17, the second air inlet 171 is used for intercommunicating the first air cavity 14 and the second air cavity 15, the first impeller 3 and the partition plate 17 are arranged at intervals and form a channel for gas flow between the partition plate 17, so that the gas in the first air cavity 14 flows through the channel and enters the second air inlet 171.
[0032] As shown in the drawings, Figure 3 , 4As shown in Figure 6, in this embodiment, the partition plate 17 is used to separate the first air chamber 14 and the second air chamber 15. The diameter of the second air inlet 171 is smaller than the diameter of the first impeller 3.

The width of the first blades 31 is larger, which generates a large air volume and low air pressure. The width of the second blades 41 is smaller, which generates a small air volume and high air pressure.
[0040] Optionally, the first blade 31 is a backward-curved blade, and the second blade 41 is a radial blade or a forward-curved blade, so that the wind pressure generated by the first impeller 3 is less than the wind pressure generated by the second impeller 4.
