The balance assembly includes a balancing ring, a balancer, an identification member and a first detection member. The balancing ring has a chamber defined therein. The balancer is movably arranged in the chamber and includes a rotating member and a driving member. The driving member is connected to the rotating member and configured to drive the rotating member to rotate to drive a movement of the balancer within the chamber. A relative movement between the first detection member and the identification member occurs during the movement of the balancer.
