    Abstract: An air nozzle includes a housing and an airflow regulation apparatus. The housing includes a target air outlet and an air inlet. Air flow enters the housing through the air inlet and leaves the housing through the target air outlet. The airflow regulation apparatus is located at the target air outlet and is capable of moving between a first position and a second position. The airflow regulation apparatus exerts a greater resistance against the air flow in the first position than it exerts against the air flow in the second position. When the airflow needs to be reduced, the airflow regulation apparatus is regulated to the first position to increase the resistance against the air flow at the target air outlet. When the airflow needs to be increased, the airflow regulation apparatus is regulated to the second position to reduce the resistance against the air flow at the target air outlet.
