The invention provides a stepped volute structure, a centrifugal fan and an air blowing device. In the stepped volute structure, a plurality of volute tongues and volute volute-tongue side wall surfaces are arranged in a stepped mode and extend in the thickness direction from an air inlet to a shell. The distances from the volute volute-tongue side wall surfaces to a front blade disc are graduallyincreased, so that on the height volute section nearby the front blade disc, the overall width of a volute diffusion section is reduced, namely the volute tongues and the volute volute-tongue side wall surfaces are closer to a volute throat side wall surface. Since high-speed airflow impact is close to the volute-tongue side wall surfaces, the situation that a negative pressure area is generatedlike a traditional centrifugal volute is avoided, generation of whirling airflow is restrained, and thus an eddy current whirling area of a diffusion section of the traditional centrifugal volute is eliminated. After the whirling airflow area on the height volute section nearby the front blade disc is cut off, the disturbance of the whirling airflow on normal acting and air exhausting of the volute is eliminated, and thus the air volume is increased; and meanwhile eddy current noise disappears accordingly, and thus noise is reduced.
