[0002] In the prior art, the sealing mode between the door of the clothes dryer and the drum of the clothes dryer is that a hollow sealing strip is installed in the installation groove of the front support of the clothes dryer. When the door of the clothes dryer is closed, the inner frame plane of the door of the clothes dryer extrudes the hollow sealing strip, and the contact surface of the hollow sealing strip is always in close contact to form a seal. Since the hollow sealing strip is filled with air, in the process of closing the door, as the door closing angle gradually decreases, the hollow sealing strip is extruded and deformed more and more, and the air in the hollow sealing strip is extruded out. When the door is closed to the final position, the hollow sealing strip is extruded to the maximum deformation, and the door closing angle at this time is called 0 degree angle.

[0003] However, when the clothes dryer is closed, especially when the door lock that can be pushed to pop open the door is used, the door closing angle is required to be more than 0 degree angle when the door is closed, so as to overcome the spring force in the door lock and make the lock tongue of the door lock reach the rotation angle of the locked door. Then, the user removes the door closing force, and the door is pushed back to 0 degree angle under the action of the spring force of the door lock. Since the periphery of the sealing strip cannot be fixed on the front plate, the sealing strip will turn inward when the door is closed, which affects the sealing property of the sealing strip and causes the problem of poor sealing property of the door body.

[0004] Therefore, the present application is provided. SUMMARY
