In addition, the heater 10 of the present invention is a heater 10, instead of performing heating to the place required by the user by heating the entire place (convection method heating) the existing heater when the user needs the place. At the same time, the local heating required by the user can be performed at the same time, so that the existing large-capacity heater can be replaced with a low-capacity heater, thereby realizing miniaturization.

And, as shown in Figure 7, if the user wants to be supplied with warm air into the sleeping bag 920 installed in the outdoor space, the heater 10 is installed next to the sleeping bag 920, and then to the sleeping bag 920 When the discharge unit 620 of the variable hot air supply passage 600 is connected to the connection portion 921 provided therein and the heater 10 is operated, the warm air discharged from the first discharge port 121 of the housing 100 is changed into the variable hot air. The inside of the sleeping bag 920 may be supplied through the discharge part 620 of the supply passage 600 to quickly and easily heat the sleeping bag 920 desired by the user. In this case, the connection part 921 provided in the sleeping bag 920 and the discharge part 620 of the variable hot air supply passage 600 may be connected to the above-described Velcro fastener.

In addition, as shown in Figure 8, if the user wants to heat the inside of the tent 930 installed in the outdoor space, the heater 10 is installed next to the tent 930, and then the connection portion provided in the tent 930 When the discharge unit 620 of the variable hot air supply passage 600 is connected to the 931 and the heater 10 is operated, the warm air discharged from the first discharge port 121 of the housing 100 is changed into the variable hot air supply passage ( The inside of the tent 930 may be supplied through the discharge part 620 of the 600 to quickly and easily perform heating of the inside of the tent 930 desired by the user. At this time, the heater 10 may be installed inside the tent 930 to perform heating, but the heater 10 of the present invention has a variable hot air supply passage 600 at the first discharge port 121 of the housing 100. Since it is detachably installed, it is preferable to install outside the tent 930 to increase the utilization of the space inside the tent 930 and to prevent the risk of fire.
