Abstract

An indoor unit of an air conditioner capable of increasing safety in the opening/closing operations of a movable panel. The indoor unit (2) of the air conditioner comprises a front grill (60), a second panel (72), a drive machine, and a second panel supporting member (68). The front grill (60) further comprises a first suction port (27) in the front surface. The second panel (72) is installed so as to cover the first suction port (27), and opens the first suction port (27) by moving apart from the first suction port (27) and closes the first suction port (27) by moving close to the first suction port (27). The drive machine generates a drive force for moving the second panel (72). The second panel supporting member (68) further comprises a gear part and a plate part. The gear part transmits the drive force of the drive machine to the second panel (72). The plate part is installed on the outside of the gear part, and closes a clearance between the second panel (72) and the front grill (60) when the second panel (72) is opened.
