That is, in the indoor unit 2 of the above embodiment, the air outlet 25 is formed on the side surface, but the air outlet may be formed on the bottom surface.
  • a partition wall 54 is provided in the drain receiving portion 52 to form an inner groove portion 56 and an outer groove portion 58, and the inclination angle of the bottom portion of the outer groove portion 58 is larger than the inclination angle of the bottom portion of the inner groove portion 56. To do. Thereby, it is possible to reliably prevent the water level in the secondary region (outer groove portion 58) from rising in the drain receiving portion 52. Further, the drain received by the outer groove portion 58 is quickly flowed to the drain pump 60 side to shorten the time that the drain stays in the secondary side region (outer groove portion 58), so that the drain is scattered outside the indoor unit. Can be prevented.
  • the indoor unit 2 of the said embodiment blows off a wind in four directions, it is not limited to this structure.
  • the indoor unit may blow wind in two directions or may blow wind in one direction.
  • the indoor unit 2 of the said embodiment is used for the air conditioning apparatus 1 which performs both air_conditionaing
  • the indoor unit may be used in an air conditioner dedicated to cooling, or may be used in an air conditioner dedicated to heating.
  • the indoor unit of the air conditioning apparatus of the above embodiment includes a heat exchanger, a drain pan disposed below the heat exchanger, and a drain pump that discharges water accumulated in the drain pan to the outside.
  • the drain pan extends along the heat exchanger, and receives the water generated on the surface of the heat exchanger below the heat exchanger, and the heat exchanger from below.
  • An inner groove that is erected so as to abut and that receives the water in an upstream region in the air flow by partitioning the drain receiving portion into an upstream region and a downstream region in the air flow; and And a partition wall that forms an outer groove that receives the water in a downstream region of the air flow.
  • the bottom part of the outer groove part and the bottom part of the inner groove part each have an inclination that becomes a downward slope so that the water flows toward the drain pump.
  • the average inclination angle at the bottom of the outer groove is larger than the inclination at the bottom of the inner groove.
  • the partition wall by providing the partition wall, the primary region (the upstream region in the air flow blown from the indoor unit) and the secondary region (the downstream in the air flow) are provided. It is possible to prevent the drain (water from the heat exchanger) of the drain receiving portion from moving to the secondary side region (that is, moving from the inner groove portion to the outer groove portion) due to the pressure difference with the side region. Thereby, it can prevent reliably that the water level of the area
  • the bottom of the outer groove can be steeper than the bottom of the inner groove, so that the water (drain) received by the outer groove can flow quickly to the drain pump side. Can be shortened in the secondary region (outer groove portion). As a result, the drain can be effectively prevented from scattering outside the indoor unit.
  • the partition wall may have one or a plurality of communicating portions that communicate the outer groove portion and the inner groove portion.
  • the height position of the bottom portion of the outer groove portion at the position of the communication portion may be the same as or higher than the height position of the bottom portion of the inner groove portion at the position of the communication portion.
  • the communication portion may be arranged at a position shifted from a front position of the air outlet in the indoor unit.
  • the drain flowing through the outer groove portion can flow into the inner groove portion through the communication portion on the way to the drain pump. For this reason, the time during which the drain stays in the outer groove portion becomes shorter, and as a result, the drain in the outer groove portion can be more reliably prevented from scattering outside the indoor unit.
  • the height position of the bottom portion of the outer groove portion is the same as or higher than the height position of the bottom portion of the inner groove portion. For this reason, when the drain which flows through an outer groove part arrives at the position of a communicating part, it flows into an inner groove part from an outer groove part through a communicating part. As a result, the distance that the drain flows through the outer groove is shortened, and the time that the drain is in the outer groove is shortened.
  • the communication part is provided in the position shifted from the front position of the blower outlet of an indoor unit, compared with the case where it is provided in the front position, until the air which passed through the communication part is blown out from the blower outlet The pressure loss increases. Thereby, the flow volume of the air which blows off from the area
  • the outer groove portion may be partitioned into a plurality of sections in the longitudinal direction.
  • the communication portion may be disposed at a lower end position at which the bottom portion is lowest in each section of the outer groove portion.
  • the outer groove portion by dividing the outer groove portion into a plurality of sections, it is possible to provide a saw-toothed arrangement in which a height difference is provided between the end of the upstream section and the start of the downstream section in the adjacent sections. Thereby, the thickness of a drain pan can also be suppressed, making the inclination of the bottom part of an outer groove part (each section) steep.
  • the partition wall may have one or a plurality of communication portions that communicate the outer groove portion and the inner groove portion.
  • the outer groove portion may be partitioned into a plurality of sections in the longitudinal direction.
  • the height position of the bottom part of the outer groove part at the position of the communication part may be the same as or higher than the height position of the bottom part of the inner groove part at the position of the communication part.
  • the communication portion may be disposed at a lower end position at which the bottom portion is lowest in each section of the outer groove portion.
  • the distance that the drain can flow in the outer groove portion is shortened, and the time that the drain stays in the outer groove portion is shortened, so that the drain is more reliably scattered from the outer groove portion to the outside of the indoor unit. Can be prevented.
  • the outer groove portion by dividing the outer groove portion into a plurality of sections, it is possible to provide a saw-toothed arrangement in which a height difference is provided between the end of the upstream section and the start of the downstream section in the adjacent sections. Thereby, the thickness of a drain pan can also be suppressed, making the inclination of the bottom part of an outer groove part (each section) steep.
  • the bottom portion of the outer groove portion descends from the outer groove portion toward the inner groove portion at the position of the communication portion. You may have the inclination used as a gradient.
  • the drain that has flowed through the outer groove portion (each section) surely flows into the inner groove portion through the communication portion.
  • the indoor unit of the air conditioning apparatus of the above embodiment may include a blower that blows out air that has been sucked in from the lower side, and one or a plurality of air outlets that blow out the air to the outside.
  • the said heat exchanger may be arrange
  • the said blower outlet may be provided in the position corresponding to each said substantially square edge
