Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/CN2023/124330, filed on Oct. 12, 2023, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. FIELD The present disclosure relates to the field of ventilator technologies, and more particularly, to a ventilator and a vehicle having the same. BACKGROUND In the related art, when it is necessary for a ventilator to ventilate, an upper cover plate is usually rotated by a predetermined angle to expose a vent. Such a solution, due to a certain limitation of an opening angle of the upper cover plate, will result in a smaller amount of ventilation at the vent, which in turn result in low exhaust efficiency and poor exhaust performance of the ventilator. SUMMARY The present disclosure aims at solving one of the above technical problems in the related art at least to some extent. To this end, the present disclosure provides a ventilator. When a vent is exposed, there is a large amount of ventilation at the vent. The present disclosure further provides a vehicle having the ventilator as described above. A ventilator according to embodiments of the present disclosure includes a housing assembly, a fan blade, a first drive device, a cover plate assembly, an air guide sleeve, and a controller. The housing assembly internally has a first accommodation space. Further, the housing assembly has a vent. The fan blade is mounted in the first accommodation space. The first drive device is mounted in the first accommodation space and configured to drive the fan blade to rotate about a rotation axis of the fan blade. The cover plate assembly is provided at a side of the housing assembly. The air guide sleeve is provided between the cover plate assembly and the housing assembly. The air guide sleeve is configured to be lifted or lowered relative to the housing assembly to expose or cover the vent. A second accommodation space is defined by the air guide sleeve and the cover plate assembly. The controller is electrically connected to the first drive device. According to the ventilator of the embodiments of the present disclosure, by lifting or lowering the air guide sleeve relative to the housing assembly, the vent can be exposed or covered. Such a way of exposing the vent has less influence on an amount of ventilation at the vent, and thus the ventilator has high exhaust efficiency and superior exhaust performance. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the ventilator further includes a second drive device. The second drive device is configured to drive the air guide sleeve to lift and lower. The second drive device is electrically connected to the controller. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second drive device includes a lifting motor and a screw rod.

The nut is screwed with the screw rod to drive the nut to move in an extending direction of the screw rod when the screw rod rotates. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the air guide sleeve has an air guide wall located at an end of the air guide sleeve close to the vent. The air guide wall is constructed into an arc-shaped sectorial structure recessed towards the cover plate assembly. A central part of the air guide wall protrudes towards the vent relative more than an edge of the air guide wall. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the housing assembly includes a housing body, a panel, and a protective sleeve. The housing body has a body vent. The panel has a panel through opening. The protective sleeve is located at a side of the housing body facing away from the cover plate assembly. The protective sleeve and the housing body pass through the panel through opening and are connected and fixed to each other. The protective sleeve has a protective vent connected to the body vent to form the vent. The air guide sleeve is configured to expose or cover the body vent. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the housing body includes a housing body portion and a body connection cylinder connected to each other. The protective sleeve includes a protective body portion and a protective connection cylinder connected to each other. The body connection cylinder is threadedly connected to the protective connection cylinder in a sleeved manner. The panel is arranged around the body connection cylinder and the protective connection cylinder, and located between the housing body portion and the protective body portion. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a surface of the housing body portion facing towards the panel includes a first mounting surface. A surface of the panel facing towards the housing body portion includes a second mounting surface. The first mounting surface is spaced a
