Next, push the air guide 11 from the rear end of the air duct 2 to the front end of the air duct 2, and fix it by screwing it into the first positioning hole 17 and the first screw hole 18. Then, install the assembled mounting bracket 8 into the air duct 2, and fix it to the rear end of the air guide 11 by screwing it into the second positioning hole 19 and the second screw hole 20. Finally, fasten the front cover 5 and the rear cover 6 and install the handle 3.

[0033] Furthermore, a rotating connector 21 for connecting the handle 3 is provided at the lower end of the mounting bracket 8. A rotating positioning member 22 is provided inside the rotating connector 21. A rotating connecting shaft 23 for passing through the rotating connector 21 and connecting to the rotating positioning member 22 is provided at the upper end of the handle 3. A limiting protrusion 24 is provided on one side of the rotating connector 21. A limiting baffle 25 for abutting against the limiting protrusion 24 is provided at one end of the rotating connecting shaft 23. The limiting protrusion 24 and the limiting baffle 25 limit the rotation range of the handle 3 to 0° to 90°. When the handle 3 rotates, the rotating connecting shaft 23 will drive the rotating positioning member 22 to rotate. The rotating positioning member 22 is provided with a positioning groove. When it rotates to the positioning groove position, the rotation angle of the handle 3 can be limited and positioned for easy gripping by the user.

[0034] Specifically, a drive circuit board 26 is provided on one side of the mounting bracket 8, a main control circuit board 27 is provided inside the handle 3, a button 28 is provided on the side wall of the handle 3, and a power connector 29 is provided at the bottom of the handle 3 for connecting a power cord.
