Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of toilet accessories, and in particular to a toilet retractable drying device. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of smart toilets, people have increasingly higher requirements for the functional experience of smart toilets. Existing smart toilet warm air drying devices are mainly fixed in position, with fixed air outlets or using blade structures to swing the air outlet to change the air direction and increase the area blown by the air outlet. However, the warm air drying device is fixed, and the air outlet is fixed, which is far away from the buttocks being washed. This results in the warm air drying function being unable to dry or having low drying efficiency and long drying time, which can no longer meet the drying effect expected by consumers for the warm air drying function, becoming a pain point for both the industry and consumers. In order to solve this pain point, this utility model provides a drying device with a telescopic air duct. Utility Model Content
