The working principle of a clothes dryer is to use a heating element to generate heat inside the dryer, thereby evaporating and drying the moisture in the clothes. Although this type of clothes dryer can dry clothes, some bacteria may not be killed because the clothes are not exposed to sunlight, and the drying effect is not as good as normal sunlight. Therefore, some clothes dryers that can disinfect clothes have appeared on the market, but their structures are generally complex, and production, assembly and subsequent maintenance are relatively troublesome. The actual use effect is poor, and the user experience is not good. Utility Model Content
