Abstract
This allows us to provide a dryer that suppresses the deterioration of drying performance. [Solution] The dryer according to the present disclosure comprises a housing, a storage tank for storing objects, a blower for blowing air into the storage tank, a collection device for collecting foreign matter from the air that has passed through the storage tank, an air passage connecting the blower, the storage tank, and the collection device, wherein the collection device comprises an inlet extending from an air intake port communicating with the storage tank, a swirling section communicating with the inlet and swirling the incoming air while sending it in a first direction, a mesh section provided downstream of the swirling section and having a cylindrical shape extending in the first direction, with a mesh that allows air to flow out from the inside to the outside of the cylindrical shape in at least a part of it, and an air passage member surrounding the outer circumference of the mesh section and having an exhaust port communicating with a rotating drum, wherein the exhaust port of the air passage member is positioned away from the circumferential surface of the mesh section in the first direction.
