That is, since the bet including pet hair generated during drying is filtered by the filter FI provided in the passage 11P through the bet inlet 113 and is resupplied through the bet supply unit 114, Maintain the cleanliness of the drying space DS in which pets are accommodated.

1 to 4, the passage part 11P includes a drying space DS and a fan FA for moving the air (exhaust) of the passage part 11P, but the fan FA circulates the internal air. It may be disposed at the rear end of the filter FI based on the path. In more detail, the fan FA introduces the bet from the drying space DS into the passage part 11P through the bet inlet 113, and the bet supply part 114 in the passage part 11P again Through the drying space (DS). That is, the internal air circulation path is the drying space DS-the internal air inlet 113-the passage part 11P-the internal air supply part 114-the drying space DS.

In this way, the fan FA is provided at the rear end based on the inner air circulation path of the filter FI, so that only the inner air filtered through the pet's hair, etc. is passed, so that foreign matter can be prevented from being trapped in the fan FA. There is (extending the life of the fan (FA)).

1 and 4, the housing 11 includes an internal air discharge unit 115 provided at the rear end of the filter FI based on the circulation path of the internal air, and the door 12 enters through the outside air. The part 121 may be provided. That is, there is an advantage that fresh outside air can be supplied to the drying space DS in which the pet is seated by the door 12 including the outside air inlet 121 in a state in which the housing 11 and the door 12 are combined. . Here, the outside air means the atmosphere outside the dryer (dry space DS and passage part 11P).

At this time, when the internal air of the drying space DS and the passage part 11P is not discharged to the outside of the dryer (dry room), the hair of the pet generated during drying in the drying space DS is the outside air inlet 121 It may flow out to the outside of the dryer. Therefore, the housing 11 includes an internal air discharge unit 115 provided at the rear end of the filter FI, so that the pressure of the internal air in the drying space DS is always below atmospheric pressure and is dried through the external air inlet 121 There is an advantage in that hairs (hairs of pets generated during drying) in the space DS are prevented from flowing out of the dryer, and fresh outside air is allowed to flow into the drying space DS.

In addition, as described above, a single filter FI is provided between the air inlet 113 and the air supply 114, and is provided between the air inlet 113 and the air discharge 115, so that the filter FI Without the need to provide a plurality of, the pet hair generated during drying is filtered with only one filter (FI) and supplied to the drying space (DS), and the outside of the drying room (housing 11 and the outside of the drying space DS) ) Can be discharged, there is an advantage that the cost related to the filter (FI) is saved because there is no need to purchase a plurality of filters (FI) and maintain the plurality of filters (FI).

It is preferable that the air discharge part 115 is provided at a rear end of the fan FA in proximity to the fan FA. That is, the bet in the passage part 11P in which the fan FA is provided is closer to the fan FA from the rear end of the fan FA, the faster the moving speed in the direction of the internal air circulation path is, and the distance from the fan FA is farther. Since the moving speed in the direction of the inside air circulation path is slow, the inside air discharge unit 115 is provided at a position close to the rear end of the fan FA, so that the inside of the dryer as seen through the inside air discharge unit 115 is smooth. Fresh outdoor air may be easily introduced into the drying space DS through the outdoor air inlet 121 by being discharged into the air.
