A centrifugal fan includes a housing and an impeller. A top side of the housing has a main air inlet. A bottom side of the housing has a holder, a board, and plural supporting ribs connecting the holder and the board. The holder, the board, and the supporting ribs define a first secondary air inlet and a second secondary air inlet. In the extending direction of the central axis of the impeller, the impeller projects an upper projection to the top side, and projects a lower projection to the bottom side. The size of the upper projection is greater than the size of the main air inlet. At least one portion of the outer edge of the first secondary air inlet, the outer edge of the lower projection and the central axis are arranged in sequence.

Centrifugal fan

A fan module is adapted to be disposed on a mainboard. The fan module includes a base, a stator unit, a circuit board, a first restriction structure and a second restriction structure. The base includes a mounting shaft and a base opening, wherein the mounting shaft has an axis. The mounting shaft is telescoped in the stator unit. The circuit board is coupled to the stator unit, wherein the circuit board includes a circuit board connection port. The first restriction structure restricts the circuit board, wherein the first restriction structure is arranged on the first straight line, and the first restriction structure is disposed a first distance away from the axis. The second restriction structure restricts the circuit board, wherein the second restriction structure is arranged on the second straight line, the second restriction structure is disposed a second distance away from the axis.

Fan module

A centrifugal fan is disclosed and includes a lower case, an impeller and an upper case. The lower case includes a bottom plate and a sidewall. The impeller is disposed on the bottom plate. The upper case is assembled with the sidewall to form an outlet. The upper case is formed by stamping and includes a first plane, an inlet and a grille. When the impeller is rotated, an airflow flowing from the inlet to the outlet is formed. The grille is protruded outwardly from the first plane, and includes a connecting frame and plural ribs. A spacing height is formed between the connecting frame and the inlet. Each rib has a first end connected to the connecting frame and a second end connected to the first plane. A pair of notches are disposed adjacent to two opposite lateral edges of the second end of the corresponding rib, respectively.
