The clothes dryer uses electric heating to evaporate and dry the moisture of washed clothes instantly, and can not be affected by the weather, thus bringing a lot of convenience to life.

[0003] However, during use, the motor has a certain noise due to its own vibration. The existing fixed-frequency motor has a vibration-absorbing assembly composed of multiple vibration-absorbing pieces. The vibration of the motor body is transmitted to the vibration-absorbing assembly connected to the motor body, thereby causing the vibration of the vibration-absorbing pieces. The vibration direction of the vibration-absorbing pieces is opposite to the vibration direction of the motor body, so as to offset the vibration of the motor body, thereby realizing the vibration-absorbing effect of the motor body.
