Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a fan module, and more particularly to a fan module suitable for an electronic device. [Prior Art] In order to meet the requirements of high speed, high efficiency, light weight and shortness of today's electronic products, various portable electronic devices have become mainstream. As far as notebooks are concerned, since notebooks do not provide much space to accommodate the cooling system, how to improve the heat dissipation efficiency in a limited configuration space is one of the focuses of the industry. In general, notebook computers are usually equipped with a fan module to dissipate heat from the internal heating elements of the notebook. In order to reduce the weight and thickness of the overall structure, the upper cover and the bottom plate of the fan module for accommodating the cooling fan are designed to have a thin thickness, and the distance between the cooling fan and the upper cover and the upper cover and other structural components in the notebook computer The distance between them is also designed to be smaller. This design can be applied to ultra-thin type notebooks that emphasize thin and light portable. However, the thinner upper cover has a lower structural strength, and when the distance between the cooling fan and the upper cover is small and the distance between the upper cover and the structural member in the notebook computer is small, the upper one is easily caused by the structural member. The deformation caused by the compression causes the cooling fan to be pressed by the upper cover to affect the normal operation of the fan module. 201248019 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a fan module having better structural strength. The invention provides a fan module suitable for an electronic device. The fan module includes a bottom plate, an upper cover, a side wall, a heat dissipation fan and a casing.

The air inlet communicates with the receiving space. In an embodiment of the invention, the upper cover has an opening, the opening exposing the accommodating space, and the air inlet is connected to the accommodating space through the opening. In an embodiment of the invention, the housing and the bottom plate have a spacing to form an air outlet ‘air outlet for receiving the receiving space. In an embodiment of the invention, the fan module further includes a support column, the support column is located at the air outlet and supported between the bottom plate and the housing. In an embodiment of the invention, the housing has an extension connected to an edge of the housing. The support column is supported between the bottom plate and the extension. In an embodiment of the invention, the housing and the support post are integrally formed. 201248019 In the embodiment of the present invention, the upper cover and the bottom plate are made of metal. In an embodiment of the invention, the housing is made of plastic. In an embodiment of the invention, the upper cover is integrally formed with the housing. The invention provides a fan module suitable for an electronic device. The fan module includes a bottom plate, an upper cover, a side wall, and a cooling fan. The thickness of the first and second portions of the upper cover is greater than the thickness of a first portion of the upper cover. The side wall group is not between the upper cover and the bottom plate, and the side wall, the upper cover and the bottom plate constitute a receiving space. The cooling fan is disposed on the bottom plate and is located in the receiving space. In an embodiment of the invention, the upper cover is integrally formed with the side wall. In an embodiment of the invention, a structural member of the electronic device contacts the first portion. A gap is formed between the structural member and the second portion to form an air inlet, and the air inlet communicates with the receiving space. In an embodiment of the invention, the upper cover has an opening, the opening exposing the accommodating space, and the air inlet communicates with the accommodating space through the opening. In an embodiment of the invention, the upper cover and the bottom plate have a spacing to form an air outlet, and the air outlet communicates with the receiving space. In an embodiment of the invention, the fan module further includes a support column, wherein the support column is located at the air outlet and supported between the bottom plate and the upper cover. In an embodiment of the invention, the upper cover is integrally formed with the support post. In an embodiment of the present invention, the material of the upper cover and the bottom plate is 201248019. The metal is based on the above-mentioned fan module of the present invention, and the strength of the body can be increased, so that the upper cover is not easily generated when pressed. The heat radiating fan is pressed by the upper cover to maintain the fan module. The above features and advantages of the present invention can be more clearly understood. The following embodiments are described in detail below with reference to the drawings. [Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a fan module according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is an exploded view of the fan module of Figure 1. Referring to FIG. 1, the fan module 100 of the present embodiment includes a bottom plate 110, an upper cover 12A, a side wall 13A, a heat dissipation fan 140, and a housing 150. The side walls 13 are disposed between the upper cover 12 and the side plates 110, and the side walls 130, the upper cover 12 and the bottom plate 11 are formed into a receiving space 160. The heat dissipation fan 140 is disposed on the bottom plate 11A and located in the accommodation space 160. The housing 15 is stacked on the upper cover 12, and the upper cover 12 is disposed between the housing 150 and the bottom plate 110. The housing 15 and the upper cover can be assembled by attaching, locking or covering. In other embodiments, the housing 150 can be assembled to the upper cover 12 by other means, which is not limited by the present invention. Under the above arrangement, the housing 15 叠 stacked on the upper cover 12 增强 can enhance the overall structural strength, so that the upper cover 120 is less likely to be deformed when pressed. Thereby, the cooling fan 140 can be prevented from being pressed by the upper cover 12 to maintain the normal operation of the fan module 100. 201248019 The fan module 100 of the present embodiment is, for example, used in a notebook computer to perform an administrative heat on a heat generating component inside the notebook computer. In other embodiments, the fan module 1 can be used for other types of electronic devices. The invention is not limited thereto. 3 is a partial side elevational view of the fan module of FIG. 1 applied to an electronic device. In order to make the drawings clearer, FIG. 3 only shows the structural member 50 of the electronic device. The structural member 50 is, for example, a casing or an element adjacent to the fan module 1 in the electronic device, which is not limited by the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 3, in the present embodiment, the housing 150 covers a first portion 122 of the upper cover 120 and exposes a second portion 124 of the upper cover 120. The upper cover 12A has an opening 126 that exposes the receiving space 160. The structural member 5 is in contact with the housing 15A, and a gap is formed between the structural member 50 and the second portion 124 to form an air inlet 170'. The air inlet 170 communicates with the receiving space 16 through the opening 126. Further, as shown in Fig. 1, a gap is formed between the casing 120 and the bottom plate no to form an air outlet 180, and the air outlet 180 communicates with the accommodation space 16A. Therefore, when the fan module 100 is in operation, the heat dissipation airflow can enter the fan module 100' through the air inlet port 17 and is exhausted from the fan module through the air outlet 180 to facilitate heat dissipation. In the thinned electronic device, the arrangement positions of the fan module 1〇〇 and the structural member 5〇 are very close. The housing 15 is stacked on the upper cover 12A to increase the structural strength of the fan module 100, so that the upper cover 12 and the heat dissipation fan 14 are not pressed by the structural member 50 due to the thin design of the electronic device. In addition, the housing 15 is designed to cover only the first portion 122 of the upper cover 12〇 and expose the second portion 124 of the upper cover 12〇, and the air inlet 170 is formed between the upper cover 12〇201248019 and the structural member 50. The structural member 50 adjacent to the fan module 1〇〇 is prevented from obstructing the flow of the heat-dissipating airflow. The fan module 1〇〇 in this embodiment further includes a support post 19〇. The support post 190 is located at the air outlet 180 and supported between the bottom plate 11〇 and the housing 15〇 to further enhance the structural strength of the fan module 1〇〇.
