A portion of an axial height of the respective blade is received in the air passageway of the air guiding member. Side inlets are defined between the cover plate and the air guiding member.

An angle between the trailing edge of the blade and the airflow-encountering line of the guiding rib is 10°-70°, thereby reducing blowing noise in the air outlet.

When the rotor turns, the annular magnet of the rotor induces the alternating magnetic fields created by the stator and attracts the magnetically conductive faces to thereby maintain rotational balance of the rotor.

Abstract: A fan wheel assembly includes at least three hub rings and a connecting member. Each outer circumference of the hub rings provides with extension fan blades. The connecting member serially connects the hub rings which are coaxially stacked in a longitudinal direction to constitute the fan wheel assembly. Each extension fan blade of one of the hub rings extends into two adjacent extension fan blades of the other two of the hub rings that each leading edge of one layer of the extension fan blades overlaps the other two layers of the extension fan blades along a longitudinal direction. Thereby, the overlapped extension fan blades can increase total blade-surface area of the fan wheel assembly.
