Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a high-protection external rotor centrifugal fan, including an external rotor motor 1 and a fan wheel 2. The fan wheel 2 includes a disc 21 and a cover 22. The disc 21 and the cover 22 are connected by a plurality of fan blades 23. The disc 21 is fitted onto the rotor 11 of the external rotor motor 1. The feature is that it also includes a waterproof cover 3. The waterproof cover 3 has an inwardly protruding mounting sleeve 31 at its center. The waterproof cover 3 is fitted onto the end cover 12 of the external rotor motor 1 through the mounting sleeve 31. The waterproof cover 3 covers the disc 21 above or below it. The inner side of the waterproof cover 3 has at least one first annular boss 32 protruding towards the disc 21.

The first annular boss 32 and the second annular boss 24 form a multi-layer waterproof structure, which can improve the protection capability of the external rotor centrifugal fan, greatly improve the dustproof and waterproof performance, and improve the reliability of the product.

[0028] The outermost second annular boss 24 has a larger diameter than all the first annular bosses 32.

[0029] The number of the first annular protrusion 32 and the second annular protrusion 24 are both two. A first groove 321 is formed between two adjacent first annular protrusions 32, and a second groove 241 is formed between two adjacent second annular protrusions 24. One of the second annular protrusions 24 is embedded in the first groove 321, and one of the first annular protrusions 32 is embedded in the second groove 241.
