Abstract

The present invention provides an indoor unit (2a) of an air conditioner capable of further reducing the possibility of damaging the indoor appearance. An indoor unit (2a) of an air conditioner has a casing main body (23) and a front panel (24a). The casing body (23) has an outlet (26) through which air blown into the room passes. When viewed from the front, the front panel (24a) covers the air outlet (26), and the front panel (24a) is used to open and close the air outlet (26). In addition, the front panel (24a) has a larger projected area than the air outlet (26) when viewed from the front in a state in which the air outlet (26) is closed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an indoor unit of an air conditioner. Background technique [0002] In recent years, indoor units of air conditioners for adjusting indoor air have been widely used. Since such an indoor unit is arranged indoors, it is often seen by occupants and the like. Therefore, it is important that the indoor unit does not impair the aesthetics of the room.
