As shown in conjunction with fig. 1 to 8, an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a fan, including: the volute tongue component 41 and the wind wheel 42, wherein the wind wheel 42 is arranged in the volute tongue component 41; wherein, the distance between the wind wheel 42 and the volute tongue component 41 is H, and H is more than or equal to 10mm.
By adopting the fan provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the wind wheel 42 is arranged in the volute tongue component 41, and the volute tongue component 41 not only plays a role in fixing the wind wheel 42, but also plays a role in guiding airflow direction. When defrosting, under the condition that the damp and hot air flow flowing out of the evaporator cavity flows through the fan, the temperature of the damp and hot air flow is higher than that of the fan and water vapor is carried, and due to the structural design that the distance between the wind wheel 42 and the volute tongue component 41 is larger than or equal to 10mm, the damp and hot air flow can be prevented from being blocked by the volute tongue component 41 when flowing through the fan, so that water drops carried by the damp and hot air flow or formed condensed water are prevented from remaining in the volute tongue component 41 to cause icing.
Optionally, the wind wheel 42 includes: the plurality of anchor mounting parts are detachably connected with the volute tongue component 41; wherein, the distance between a foot installation part and the volute tongue component 41 is greater than or equal to H.
The wind wheel 42 is detachably connected with the volute tongue assembly 41 through a ground leg mounting part. In general, the wind wheel 42 includes three anchor mounting portions, which are arranged in an equilateral triangle structure, so as to ensure the stability of the connection between the wind wheel 42 and the volute tongue component 41.
The wind wheel 42 also includes blades with the foot mounts located outboard of the blade edges. By the distance between the ground leg mounting portion and the volute tongue component 41 being greater than or equal to H, that is, greater than or equal to 10mm, it is possible to further avoid that water droplets carried by the flowing air flow or driven condensed water is blocked by the ground leg mounting portion and remains in the volute tongue component 41.
In practice, the foot mounting portion and the volute tongue assembly 41 may be connected by fasteners.
Optionally, the wind wheel 42 includes a first anchor mounting portion 421, and the volute tongue assembly 41 includes: a first volute 411; the first volute tongue 412 and the first volute 411 define a first fan air outlet 413; the distance between the first volute tongue 412 and the first foot mounting portion 421 is H.

One end of the first volute tongue 412 and the first volute 411 enclose a first fan air outlet 413, and the other end thereof is disposed close to the wind wheel 42, especially close to the first anchor mounting portion 421. In the case that the hot and humid air flows through the first volute tongue 412, if the distance between the first volute tongue 412 and the first leg mounting portion 421 is small, the hot and humid air is easily blocked by the first volute tongue 412 and the first leg mounting portion 421, so that the problem that the carried water drops or the driven condensed water remain and easily cause icing is caused. Therefore, by designing the distance between the first volute tongue 412 and the first anchor mounting portion 421 to be greater than or equal to 10mm, the air flow can smoothly flow out of the first fan air outlet 413, and the carried water drops or the driven condensed water is prevented from being blocked to cause icing.
In addition, the distance between the first volute tongue 412 and the wind wheel 42 or the first leg mounting portion 421 is much smaller than the distance between the wind wheel 42 and the first volute 411 and other areas of the first volute tongue 412. Therefore, in the case that the distance between the first volute tongue 412 and the first leg mounting portion 421 is H, the distances between the wind wheel 42 and the first volute 411 and other areas of the first volute tongue 412 are all larger than H, so that smooth flow of the hot and humid air is ensured, and blockage is avoided.
Alternatively, the first anchor mounting portion 421 is located on the air outlet side of the wind wheel 42, and is located on the airflow path of the first fan air outlet 413.
