Meanwhile, the fan unit 50 may be configured to include a mixed flow fan. In the present embodiment, the fan unit 50 is a fan, but the spirit of the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the fan unit may be formed as an axial flow fan.

The fan unit 50 includes a hub 51a located at the center and a plurality of fan blades 51b coupled to the outside of the hub 51a. The outer circumferential surface of the hub 51a may be inclined and the diameter of the hub 51a may be reduced in a direction toward the inlet 30. [ The outer circumferential surface of the hub 51a is inclined so that the air sucked into the entrained fan 51 can be discharged obliquely toward the first discharge port 21. [

The fan blades 51b coupled to the outer circumferential surface of the hub 51a may be arranged to be equidistantly spaced along the outer circumferential surface of the hub 51a. The fan blade 51b forms a pressure gradient in the forward and backward directions of the extruder fan 51 in the process of rotating together with the hub 51a to form a constant air flow.

The duct 52 is provided in a circular shape surrounding the extruder fan 51 and can form an air flow path so that the air sucked by the extruder fan 51 can flow to the first discharge port 21. [
