PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance drying efficiency and to shorten drying time by disposing an aperture having an opening/closing lid in a part of a blasting path for heating the air after condensing and removing moisture with a heater and feeding the air into a drying chamber, adopting a structure to automatically open the opening/closing lid and providing the outside of the opening/closing lid with a cover. SOLUTION: During the drying work of clothes, the hot air heated by the heater 7 is circulated and the moisture content (moisture) generated by the evaporation of the moisture content flows through a filter 11 and is condensed by a heat exchange fan 6. The air from which the moisture content is removed is refluxed through this circulation wind path into the drying chamber 42 of a drum. At this time, the drying degree of the clothes is detected by a humidity sensor, or the like. When a prescribed drying value is attained, a motor is activated and the opening/closing lid 17 is turned in a direction (left direction) where the aperture 211 is opened via an eccentric cam, or the like. Part of the circulation wind path is changed in its direction by opening of the opening/closing lid 17 on the inner side of the outer cover 25 covering the aperture 211 to discharge the air outside the machine. Also, the outdoor air is mixed with the circulating air introduced into a vent path which is the circulation wind path.
