Abstract
A cooling fan acts as a light shield to block light from shining therethrough, and also provides good air circulation. An impeller, which is a key constituent component of the fan, is split into a front stage impeller and a rear stage impeller. The front stage impeller has front stage blades, and the rear stage impeller has rear stage blades. Each of the front stage blades overlaps with the adjacent blades of the rear stage blades so as to cover the gaps between the sides of the rear stage blades. With this arrangement, the incident light beams are blocked by the blades, and also the constituent components can be released easily from the dies after molding. Still further, the air circulating characteristic is not degraded in the light shield fan of the present invention.
