For example, the second end of the third pipeline 423 is clamped connected with the first end of the first pipeline 421, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the pipeline and the heating body 43. The heating body 43 is an electric heating wire or a heat pump.
[0041] In this embodiment, the fan 41 blows out the air, and the heating body 43 heats the air. The hot air can heat the clothes to be dried, accelerate the evaporation of the internal moisture, and be taken away by the hot air, thereby improving the drying efficiency.
[0042] Third embodiment:
[0043] Based on the second embodiment, the air supply device 4 of the second embodiment is further optimized and refined in the third embodiment.
[0044] As shown in Figure 2 , the second pipeline 422 further includes a baffle 4221 and a baffle ring 4223. The baffle 4221 is rotatably arranged in the second pipeline 422. The baffle ring 4223 is arranged in the second pipeline 422, and the position corresponds to the outside of the baffle 4221. For example, the upper end of the baffle 4221 is horizontally provided with a shaft body 4222, and the both ends of the shaft body 4222 pass through the both sides of the first air inlet 11, so that the baffle 4221 rotates in the vertical plane 312.
