[0041] The technical scheme of the utility model will be described in detail below in combination with two specific embodiments.

[0042] Embodiment one

[0047] When the drying mode is executed, the drying fan 32 is started to make the airflow circulate before the inner cylinder 22 and the drying air duct 31. The moisture flow in the inner cylinder 22 is discharged from the cylinder opening and enters the drying air duct 31.

The evaporator 34 is used for condensing and dehumidifying the moisture flow. The condenser 35 and the carbon nanotube heating member 33 are both used for heating the airflow. The hot airflow enters the return air inlet at the rear end of the outer cylinder 21 to complete a cycle.

[0048] It should be noted that if it is a clothes dryer, there is only one containing cylinder (also known as a drying cylinder), and there is no outer cylinder 21. In addition, the heat pump module can be cancelled. In this case, other types of dehumidifying members (such as coolers with condensing channels, etc.) can be used to condense and dehumidify the moisture flow, or the moisture flow can be directly discharged to the outside of the cabinet 11, etc. Such flexible adjustments and changes do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present application and should be limited within the protection scope of the present application.

[0052] Preferably, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 The carbon nanotube heating member 33 of the utility model further comprises an outer shell 332, the carbon nanotube heating element 331 is installed in the outer shell 332, the first end surface of the outer shell 332 is provided with an air inlet 3321, the second end surface of the outer shell 332 is provided with an air outlet 3322, and the carbon nanotube heating element 331 is located between the air inlet 3321 and the air outlet 3322.

[0053] Exemplarily, the carbon nanotube heating element 331 is arranged close to the air inlet 3321 of the outer shell 332, the airflow in the drying air duct 31 enters the outer shell 332 of the carbon nanotube heating member 33 from the air inlet 3321, is heated when flowing through the carbon nanotube heating element 331, and is then discharged from the air outlet 3322.
