Abstract

A heat dissipation fan suited for being assembled in an electronic device is provided. The heat dissipation fan includes a hub and a plurality of fan blades disposed at and surrounding the hub. The fan blade has ductility and flexibility, and any two fan blades next to each other are in different thickness.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A heat dissipation fan, adapted to be disposed in an electronic device, the heat dissipation fan comprising:
a hub; and
a plurality of fan blades, surrounding and disposed at the hub, wherein the fan blades have ductility and flexibility, and any two of the fan blades next to each other have different thicknesses,
wherein each of the fan blades is a sheet-like structure with constant thickness and the fan blades comprise at least three thicknesses.

2. The heat dissipation fan according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the fan blades is metal.

3. The heat dissipation fan according to claim 1 , further comprising a housing disposed in the electronic device, the hub and the fan blades are received in the housing, the housing has a tongue portion disposed on one side of an air outlet of the heat dissipation fan.

4. The heat dissipation fan according to claim 1 , wherein the hub and the fan blades are located on a reference plane and rotated on the reference plane, and the fan blades are respectively assembled on the hub in a direction orthogonal to the reference plane.

5. The heat dissipation fan according to claim 4 , wherein the hub has a lateral surface orthogonal to the reference plane, and the fan blades are extended radially from the lateral surface.

6. The heat dissipation fan according to claim 4 , wherein the hub has a lateral surface orthogonal to the reference plane, and the fan blades are extended at an oblique angle relative to the lateral surface.

7. The heat dissipation fan according to claim 1 , wherein each of the fan blades has an arc-shaped contour with respect to a radial plane of the hub, and a concave surface of the arc-shaped contour faces a rotation direction of the fan blades.

8. The heat dissipation fan according to claim 1 , wherein the fan blades are equidistantly disposed at the hub.

9. The heat dissipation fan according to claim 1 , wherein each of the fan blades has a thickness of less than 0.5 mm.

10. The heat dissipation fan according to claim 1 , wherein the number of the fan blades is greater than or equal to 50.
