Abstract
An exemplary heat dissipating fan includes a frame and an impeller rotatablely received in the frame. The frame includes a base and a top cover disposed on the base, the base includes a bottom plate a peripheral sidewall. The sidewall extends between the bottom plate and the top cover, and the base and the top cover cooperatively defines a receiving space. The impeller is rotatably received in the receiving space. The top cover, the bottom cover and the sidewall cooperatively defines an air inlet therebetween. The top cover, the bottom plate and the sidewall cooperatively defines an outlet therebetween. The air outlet is generally adjacent to and substantially perpendicular to the air inlet.
Claims20
A heat dissipating fan, comprising:
- a frame comprising a base and a top cover disposed on the base, the base comprising a bottom plate, a first sidewall, a second sidewall connecting to the first sidewall, and a third sidewall spaced from the first sidewall and the second sidewall;
- an impeller rotatably received in the frame;
- an air inlet, the top cover, the bottom plate, the first sidewall and the third sidewall cooperatively defining the air inlet therebetween;
- and
- an air outlet, the top cover, the bottom plate, the second sidewall and the third sidewall cooperatively defining the air outlet therebetween.
