To provide a clothes drying machine and a washing and drying machine, which effectively solve the entanglement of the clothes in a drying process.
The clothes drying machine includes a first air duct 9 with a first blowoff opening 8 opened at a rear side of a drum 1 for storing clothes; and a second air duct 11 with a second blowoff opening 10 opened at a front side of the drum 1, the second blowoff opening having a smaller cross-sectional blowing area than that of the first blowoff opening 8; wherein an air duct is selectively switched between the first air duct 9 and the second air duct 11 in a drying process based on a result of determination by the entanglement determination section which determines if an entanglement of clothes has occurred in the drum 1, and where the first air duct 9 is selected, drying air of larger airflow quantity than that where the second air duct 11 is selected is spouted from the first blowoff opening 8, and where the second air duct 11 is selected, drying air at higher pressure and higher speed is spouted from the second blowoff opening 10 than that where the first air duct 9 is selected.
