Abstract

A centrifugal heat dissipation fan including a housing and a blade wheel disposed in the housing is provided. The housing has two inlets on a rotation axial direction of the blade wheel and at least one outlet on a rotation radial direction of the blade wheel. The blade wheel has a hub and a plurality of metal blades disposed and surrounding to the hub. Each of the metal blades has a body, an upper bending plate and a lower bending plate, wherein the upper bending plate and the lower bending plate are movable relative to the body. An including angle of the upper bending plate relative to the body, and an including angle of the lower bending plate relative to the body are changeable along with the rotating speed of the blade wheel.

Claims (14)

1. A centrifugal heat dissipation fan, comprising:

a housing, having a pair of inlets and at least one outlet; and

a blade wheel, rotatably disposed in the housing, the inlets are located on a rotation axial direction of the blade wheel, the at least one outlet is located on a rotation radial direction of the blade wheel, the blade wheel has a hub and a plurality of metal blades disposed and surrounding to the hub, each of the metal blades has a body, an upper bending plate and a lower bending plate extending from opposite sides of the body, the upper bending plate and the lower bending plate respectively correspond to the corresponding inlets, and the upper bending plate and the lower bending plate are movable relative to the body, an including angle of the upper bending plate relative to the body and an including angle of the lower bending plate relative to the body are changed along with a rotating speed of the blade wheel respectively.

2. The centrifugal heat dissipation fan according to claim 1 , wherein the upper bending plate and the lower bending plate face the same side of the metal blades.

3. The centrifugal heat dissipation fan according to claim 1 , wherein the upper bending plate and the lower bending plate face a rotation direction of the blade wheel.

4. The centrifugal heat dissipation fan according to claim 1 , wherein the including angles between the upper bending plate and the lower bending plate and the body respectively increase as the rotating speed increases.

5. The centrifugal heat dissipation fan according to claim 1 , wherein the upper edge of the upper bending plate has a minimum gap d 1 relative to the inner top surface of the housing, and the lower edge of the lower bending plate has a minimum gap d 2 relative to the inner bottom surface of the housing, and d 1 >d 2 .

6. The centrifugal heat dissipation fan according to claim 5 , wherein the inlet area corresponding to the upper bending plate is larger than the inlet area corresponding to the lower bending plate.

7. The centrifugal heat dissipation fan according to claim 1 , wherein the radial dimensions of the upper bending plate and the lower bending plate account for 20% to 100% of the radial dimensions of each blade, wherein 0% is located at the end of each metal blades away from the hub.

8. The centrifugal heat dissipation fan according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of each metal blades is 0.1 mm.

9. The centrifugal heat dissipation fan according to claim 1 , wherein the metal blades include a section one, a section two and a section three, the section one is connected to the hub, the section two is connected between the section one and the section three, the upper bending plate and the lower bending plate are located in the section three, the size of the section one along the rotation axial direction is smaller than the size of the section two along the rotation axial direction, and the size of the section two along the rotation axial direction is smaller than the size of the section three along the rotation axial direction.

10. The centrifugal heat dissipation fan according to claim 9 , wherein the metal blades have gaps between the section two and the section three and steps along the rotation axial direction.

11. The centrifugal heat dissipation fan according to claim 1 , wherein the metal blades include a section one, a section two and a section three, the section one is connected to the hub, the section two is connected between the section one and the section three, the upper bending plate and the lower bending plate are located in the section three, the size of the section one along the rotation axial direction is smaller than the size of the section two along the rotation axial direction, and the size of the section two along the rotation axial direction is equal to the size of the section three along the rotation axial direction.

12. The centrifugal heat dissipation fan according to claim 11 , wherein the metal blades have shear interleaving between the section two and the section three and have no step along the rotation axial direction.
