Centrifugal fan and clothing dryer

Abstract

A centrifugal fan and a clothing dryer. The centrifugal fan includes a housing as well as an impeller and a worm tongue disposed in the housing. The housing has an air inlet and an air outlet. The volute tongue includes a first volute tongue and a second volute tongue that are stacked and staggered. The first volute tongue cuts the air blown from the impeller and guide the air to the air outlet when the impeller rotates forward. The second volute tongue cuts the air blown from the impeller and guide the air to the air outlet when the impeller rotates backward. When the impeller rotates, the first volute tongue or the second volute tongue can cut the air blown from the impeller and guide the air to the air outlet, so that the centrifugal fan can blow out air when the impeller rotates forward and backward.
