[0034] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 , the area of the air inlet grille 101 of the second air inlet surface 10b is greater than the area of the air inlet grille 101 of the first air inlet surface 10a, the air outlet surface 10c is arranged corresponding to the first air inlet surface 10a, and the air outlet grille 102 is located at the side of the air outlet surface 10c away from the second air inlet surface 10b, because the air outlet surface 10c is arranged corresponding to the first air inlet surface 10a, the second air inlet surface 10b will suck more air, which is helpful to balance the overall air duct design, avoid the generation of vortex in the air duct, ensure the stability of the gas flow, and can correspondingly reduce the working noise of the tower fan.
[0035] In an embodiment, the area of the air outlet grille 102 of the air outlet surface 10c is smaller than the area of the air inlet grille 101 of the first air inlet surface 10a and the area of the air inlet grille 101 of the second air inlet surface 10b, in this way, the area of the air outlet grille 102 is smaller than the area of the air inlet grille 101, under the same air flow, the speed of the air passing through the smaller air outlet grille 102 will increase, so that a higher dynamic pressure is generated at the air outlet surface 10c, thereby improving the wind power of the air outlet surface 10c, while ensuring that there is enough air inlet area to reduce the resistance when the air enters, thereby reducing the noise of the tower fan during operation.
[0036] Further, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, the tower fan further comprises a first air guide arc plate 11 and a second air guide arc plate 12, the first air guide arc plate 11 is connected to the air outlet grille 102 and extends towards the first air inlet face 10a in a curved manner, and the second air guide arc plate 12 is connected to the air outlet grille 102 and extends towards the second air inlet face 10b in a curved manner, specifically, the curved faces of the first air guide arc plate 11 and the second air guide arc plate 12 can be adapted to the arc faces of the wind wheel assembly 20, so as to improve the air flow efficiency of the air duct, reduce the resistance, thereby reducing the noise and improving the energy efficiency of the tower fan, at the same time, the curved extension of the first air guide arc plate 11 and the second air guide arc plate 12 towards the corresponding air inlet face helps to guide the air flow of the air outlet face 10c back to the air inlet face, forming effective air circulation, above, by optimizing the air flow path, the air guide arc plate helps to reduce the noise and vibration generated by the air flow in the air duct, so that the tower fan runs more quietly and stably.
