Abstract
This clothing processing device comprises: a housing; a tub provided inside the housing; and a drying device which is provided at the upper side of the tub and comprises a hot air supply device for supplying heated air into the tub and a discharge device for discharging the air discharged from the tub to the outside of the housing. The hot air supply device comprises: a drying heater; a supply fan for blowing the air heated by the drying heater to the tub; a supply case provided to form a supply flow path through which the air blown by the supply fan flows to the tub; and a protruding part protruding to the inside of the supply flow path so as to interfere with the current of air flowing from the supply fan to the drying heater.
