A plurality of L-shaped arms are securely formed and substantially extend out from the seat, and provided with a first portion parallel to the seat and a second portion rectangular to the seat. A flange is securely formed on the top of the second portions of the arms. The flange is able to conduct air flow and lower the turbulence of air flow in the vicinity of the periphery of the fan so as to enhance the efficiency of the fan. The flange also integrates the supporting plates, so that even only two diagonal supporting plates are fastened by screws to a frame, the rest of the supporting plates are fastened accordingly and can not vibrate any more.
