Abstract
A centrifugal fan mounted in a laptop computer is assembled to include a casing having an intake opening and a horn-shaped outlet opening for increasing the air outflow, an impeller rotatably mounted in the casing with a reduced diameter and bared inner space for increasing the air capacity, and fan blades attached to the impeller, wherein each of fan blades is chipped at the rim for lowering the noise.
Claims6
A centrifugal fan for use in cooling a laptop computer comprising:
- a casing having an intake opening and an outlet opening;
- and,
- an impeller rotatably mounted in said casing, the impeller having a base and plural fan blades arranged and disposed on a periphery of an upper surface of said base to define a space at a central portion of said base for increasing intake airflow capacity and heat dissipation, said plural fan blades partially-protruding from an edge of said base, each of said plural fan blades being chipped in an outer edge thereof to form a gap in a rim thereof, said gap of each said fan blade being within said intake opening of said casing for reducing noise.
