Abstract

A fan cover includes a base plate, a frame, and a number of ribs. The frame is made of a number of ring-shaped portions with different diameters and concentrically arranged. A number of strip-shaped portions are radially formed among the ring-shaped portions to connect the ring-shaped portions together. The ribs connect the frame to the base plate at an angle. A number of ventilation holes are defined in the frame.
