The invention discloses a volute for a centrifugal fan. The volute comprises a front cover and a rear cover which are parallel to each other, and a ring wall connected between the front cover and the rear cover, wherein an air outlet is formed among the front cover, the rear cover and an annular wall, a plane which is perpendicular to the front cover and the rear cover, penetrates through the annular wall, and is parallel to the air outlet is used as a section, on the section, a molded line of the annular wall comprises two line segments connecting the corresponding end portions of a front cover type line and a rear cover type line, and the middles of the line segments are more protruded out of the volute relative to the two ends. The invention further discloses a centrifugal fan using the volute. Compared with the prior art, the volute has the advantages that the annular wall can meet the characteristics that the flow speed of an outlet of an impeller is large in the middle, and small on the two sides, the non-uniform impact of the outlet air flow to the annular wall is weakened, airflow turbulence caused by mutual interference among air flow is reduced, circulation flowing caused by mutual interference among the air flow is eliminated, vortexes are eliminated, the performance of the fan can be effectively improved, and pneumatic noise is reduced.
