The invention discloses a ceiling type ventilation fan. The ceiling type ventilation fan comprises an air ventilating structure. The air ventilating structure comprises a multi-vane impeller, a snail shell, an impeller drive motor and a motor installation frame. The snail shell comprises a shell body, an air inlet and an air outlet. The multi-vane impeller is arranged inside the shell body in the vertical direction. The motor installation frame is arranged above the multi-vane impeller and is separated from the multi-vane impeller. The bottom middle area, away from the direction of the multi-vane impeller, of the shell body protrudes and forms a first concave portion. The air inlet is formed in the bottom of the first concave portion, and the air inlet and the first concave portion form a first annular boss-shaped structure. The lower end of the multi-vane impeller extends into the first annular boss-shaped structure, is opposite to the air inlet, and is further isolated from the inner wall of the first concave portion and the air inlet. Under the conditions that the ventilation fan is communicated with a long outdoor pipeline or the external wind pressure is large, the multi-vane impeller can be prevented from touching the motor installation frame or the snail shell, and when the multi-vane impeller of the same performance is adopted, air reverse flow and abnormal sounds are reduced.
