Abstract
An air deflection component includes a deflector and an air deflection bar assembly connected to an inner side of the deflector and including two air deflection bars spaced apart from each other in a width direction of the deflector. Each of the two air deflection bars is configured to deflect an airflow flowing from the inner side to an outer side of the deflector in a direction facing away from another one of the two air deflection bars. An airflow channel is formed between the two air deflection bars.
