When the two heating modules 74 start to operate, the electrical energy will be quickly converted into heat energy, and the generated heat will be conducted to the heating pipe 75. At the same time, the fan 8 continuously operates to suck the external gas from the gas inlet 71 into the heating box 7. In the process of the gas entering the heating box 7, the gas will be double-filtered in sequence through the dust screen 72 and the filter core 73. The filtered gas is heated by the heating pipe 75, and then sent into the connecting pipe 4 by the fan 8, so that the heated gas is finally sprayed from the nozzle body 41 to dry, thereby removing the residual moisture in the nozzle body 41. After drying, the fan 8 and the heating module 74 are turned off, and the second valve 91 is rotated counterclockwise to close the gas conveying pipe 9.
