The prior cross-flow fan is generally characterized in that a base is fixed, the whole machine body can swing around the base, and the machine body comprises a shell, and a volute, a volute tongue, a cross-flow impeller and a driving motor which are positioned in the shell. Because the whole machine body of the conventional cross-flow fan swings, the driving force required by the swinging of the conventional cross-flow fan is large, and the machine body of the conventional cross-flow fan is easy to swing after swinging for a long time under the action of gravity. And the driving mechanism for driving the whole machine body to swing is arranged in the machine body, so that the power line can be abraded, and even the potential safety hazard that the power line is abraded is caused. Since the whole body swings, only the base can be used for fixing or mounting, so that there is a certain difficulty in mounting the cross flow fan on a wall or a ceiling, and the use thereof is limited; in addition, the switch knob of the cross flow fan is generally installed on the top of the body, and the swing of the entire body causes difficulty in operating the switch knob by hand.

The fan assembly of claim 1 further comprising a second middle housing positioned between the top and bottom housings and a second cross-flow impeller and a second drive motor positioned within the housings, the second middle housing being spaced apart from the first middle housing, the second cross-flow impeller being positioned within the second middle housing, the second drive motor driving the second cross-flow impeller to rotate, the housings defining the through-holes, the second middle housing having a plurality of second air inlets and a plurality of second air outlets and having a second volute and a second volute tongue secured thereto, wherein the second middle housing is rotatable relative to the top housing under the drive of the synchronous motor.

3. The fan assembly of claim 1 or 2 wherein the first drive motor does not follow the rotation of the first mid-housing relative to the top housing.

4. A fan assembly as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein a fixing member is located within the housing.

5. A fan assembly as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the fixing member is located outside the casing.

6. The fan assembly of claim 2 wherein the first drive motor does not follow the rotation of the first midhousing relative to the top housing and the second drive motor does not follow the rotation of the second midhousing relative to the top housing.

7. The fan assembly of claim 2 wherein the synchronous motor comprises a first synchronous motor that simultaneously provides drive to relative rotation of the first and second middle housings through a gear train.

8. The fan assembly of claim 2 wherein the synchronous motors include a first synchronous motor and a second synchronous motor, the first synchronous motor having a rotational axis parallel to a rotational axis of the second synchronous motor, the first center housing rotating in the same direction relative to the top housing as the second center housing rotating in the same direction relative to the top housing when driven by the first and second synchronous motors.

9. The fan assembly of claim 2 wherein the synchronous motors include a first synchronous motor and a second synchronous motor, the first synchronous motor having a rotational axis parallel to a rotational axis of the second synchronous motor, the first center housing rotating in a direction opposite the direction the second center housing rotates in relation to the top housing when driven by the first and second synchronous motors.

10. The fan assembly of claim 2 wherein the synchronous motors comprise a first synchronous motor and a second synchronous motor, the shaft of the first synchronous motor being parallel to the shaft of the second synchronous motor; in the first synchronous driving operation mode, the direction of rotation of the first middle housing relative to the top housing is the same as the direction of rotation of the second middle housing relative to the top housing; in the second synchronous drive mode of operation, the first mid-section housing rotates in a direction opposite to the direction in which the second mid-section housing rotates relative to the top housing.
