Here, the upper end of the drying box may be opened, the receiving portion may have the outlet, the mounting portion, and the inlet port formed therein. A lid part mounted on an upper end of the storage part; And a water supply unit provided at the bottom of the storage unit and storing the water accumulated on the bottom of the storage unit.

In one embodiment, the lid portion may be provided with a sterilizing filter.

Here, the lid portion may be provided with a filter accommodating portion accommodating a sterilizing filter, and the inlet may be formed toward the filter accommodating portion.

The drying box may include a drain plate provided at a connection portion between the storage portion and the water receiving portion and having a drain port constituting a passage through which the water accumulated in the bottom of the storage portion is discharged to the water storage portion.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the guide unit includes a guide duct having an inlet mounted on the air discharge unit, an outlet formed downward, and an internal flow path through which dehumidified air discharged from the air discharge unit flows, And the object arranging unit may include a hanger provided at an outlet of the guide duct and configured to catch the object to be dried.
