    摘要: The present application discloses an impeller for a centrifugal fan and a centrifugal fan. The impeller comprises a support member and several vanes. The support member has an inner wall that defines a hollow portion. The several vanes are arranged inside the hollow portion, each of the several vanes is connected with the inner wall and extends along the axial direction of the support member, and the several vanes are arranged along the circumferential direction of the support member. Each of the several vanes is bent and comprises a front edge, a tail edge, a convex suction surface, and a concave pressure surface, the suction surface and the pressure surface are arranged to oppose each other, and the front edge and the tail edge are arranged to oppose each other, wherein the tail edge is connected with the inner wall of the support member, and wherein several protrusions are provided on the suction surface, and the several protrusions are arranged to be close to the front edge. The protrusions can regulate the flow of a fluid immediately when the fluid contacts the vanes. During the flow regulation process, a large vortex in the fluid can be divided into several small vortices. Such small vortices have smaller friction resistance, and the kinetic energy dissipated from the motion of the small vortices themselves can be partially cancelled out, thereby reducing the noise of the impeller and improving the performance of the centrifugal fan.
