Abstract
A volute component includes a back shell and side shells. Rear edges of the side shells are connected to the back shell. The volute component further includes a water receiver connected to a lower end of the back shell at a rear side of the back shell. The back shell and the side shells form a cross-flow channel. The side shells are arranged at two sides of the cross-flow channel in an axial direction of the cross-flow channel. An air channel inlet is formed between front edges of the side shells. A water-receiving sink with an open top is formed between the water receiver and the back shell, and is configured to receive water dripping along the back shell.
