  • Patent number: 9518584
    Abstract: An exemplary centrifugal fan includes a housing and an impeller received in the housing. The housing defines an air inlet and an air outlet thereof. Airflow driven by the impeller flows out of the housing via the air outlet. The housing further defines an opening adjacent to one end of the air outlet. The ambient air out of the centrifugal fan enters the housing via the opening, and flows out of the housing via the air outlet.

  • Patent number: 9388826
    Abstract: An exemplary heat dissipating fan includes a frame and an impeller rotatably 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 define an air inlet therebetween. The top cover, the bottom plate and the sidewall cooperatively define an outlet therebetween. The air outlet is generally adjacent to and substantially perpendicular to the air inlet.

  • Publication number: 20130213615
    Abstract: An exemplary heat dissipation device includes a base, spaced fins, a bracket, a shaft and a first impeller. The base directly contacts a heat-generating source. The fins are mounted on the base to dissipate heat transferred from the base by nature convection and thermal radiation. The bracket is mounted on the fins and includes a rotor. The shaft is engaged with the rotor and is located above of the fins. The first impeller is located at above of the bracket and engaged with a top end of the shaft. Heat generated by the heat-generating source is absorbed by the base and then is transferred to the fins for dissipation. Air around the fins and the base is heated and moves upwards to drive the first impeller to rotate.
