An air blower comprising: a housing (200), where an air inlet (203) is provided on the housing (200) and air is introduced via the air inlet (203); a motor (300) arranged within the housing (200); an axial flow fan driven by the motor (300) to rotate around a fan axis and to produce an airflow; an air blowing pipe (422) connected to the housing (200) and provided with an air outlet (601), where the airflow is blown out from the air outlet (601); and a duct (400) used for guiding the airflow to move towards the air outlet (601). An airflow channel (602) is provided within the housing (200) and the air blowing pipe (422). The airflow channel (602) comprises an upstream area(201) between the air inlet (203) and the axial flow fan and a downstream area (202) between the axial flow fan and the air outlet. The motor (300) is provided in the upstream area (201). The duct (400) is provided in the downstream area (202).
