The invention relates to the technical field of dish washing machines, and provides a drying machine and a dish washing machine. The drying machine comprises an inner container, the side wall of the inner container is connected with an air inlet mechanism and an exhaust mechanism, the air inlet mechanism comprises an air inlet pipe, the side wall of the inner container is provided with an air inlet hole and an exhaust hole, the air inlet hole and the exhaust hole are distributed at different heights, and the air inlet pipe is connected with the air inlet hole; the exhaust mechanism comprises an exhaust motor and an exhaust pipe, and the two ends of the exhaust pipe are connected with the exhaust motor and the exhaust hole respectively. After tableware in the dish washing machine is rinsed, outside air enters the inner container through the air inlet hole, the exhaust motor pumps the air in the inner container through the exhaust hole, and the air is exhausted outside through the exhaust pipe; the air inlet hole and the exhaust hole are distributed at different heights, so that air convection is formed in the inner container, the drying effect is greatly improved, energy consumption is lowered, air convection is smooth, noise is low, the structure is simple, and potential safety hazards are avoided.
