[0093] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the air duct assembly 30 defines an air duct, the support 40 is provided with a first connecting part 401, and the water pan 50 is provided with a second connecting part 503, the first connecting part 401 and the second connecting part 503 are connected to connect the water pan 50 to the support 40, and the water pan 50 is not directly connected to the air duct assembly 30.

[0094] As shown in Figure 8 , the air duct assembly 30 comprises an air duct piece 301 and an air outlet frame 302.

[0095] The fixing of the water pan 50 on the support 40 is realized through the connection of the first connecting part 401 and the second connecting part 503, and the water pan 50 is not directly connected to the air duct assembly 30. The air duct assembly 30 is a main force-bearing component in the indoor unit, and since the water pan 50 is not directly connected to the air duct assembly 30, the impact of the shaking of the air duct assembly 30 on the water pan 50 is small during transportation, and the stress on the support 40 is small, so that connecting the water pan 50 to the support 40 can reduce the damage probability of the water pan 50 during transportation of the indoor unit.

[0096] The water pan 50 is not directly connected with the air duct assembly 30, which means that the water pan 50 and the air duct assembly 30 are not connected by welding, bonding, clamping or other means, nor are they connected by additional connecting parts such as screws or magnets.

[0097] Optionally, as shown in Figure 3 , the water pan 50 has a gap 60 with the air duct assembly 30.

[0098] The gap 60 is provided between the water pan 50 and the air duct assembly 30, so that a buffer space is formed between the water pan 50 and the air duct assembly 30. When the air duct assembly 30 is shaken by external force during the transportation or handling of the indoor unit, the water pan 50 is not affected by the shaking of the air duct assembly 30 due to the existence of the buffer space, thereby avoiding the damage or rupture of the water pan 50 and affecting the normal operation of the indoor unit.

[0099] Optionally, as shown in Figure 3 , the water pan 50 includes a first water receiving section 501 and a second water receiving section 502, the first water receiving section 501 is arranged below the bracket 40, and the second water receiving section 502 is arranged below the air duct assembly 30.

[0100] The first water receiving section 501 is located below the bracket 40 and is used to receive the condensed water generated by the components (such as the indoor heat exchanger) arranged on or above the bracket 40, and the second water receiving section 502 is located below the air duct assembly 30 and is used to receive the condensed water generated by the air duct assembly 30. The first water receiving section 501 and the second water receiving section 502 are connected in communication, so that only one drain hole can be provided on the water pan 50, that is, the condensed water received by the first and second water receiving sections can be discharged outside the machine through a common drain hole.

[0101] Optionally, the first water receiving section 501 and the second water receiving section 502 are in the same plane, which facilitates the timely and rapid discharge of the condensed water in the first water receiving section 501 and the second water receiving section 502.

[0102] Optionally, as shown in Figure 5 , the water pan 50 is provided with a first connecting rib 504 protruding towards the bracket 40, and the second connecting part 503 is arranged on the first connecting rib 504.

[0103] The water pan 50 is located below the bracket 40, and the upper surface of the water pan 50 is provided with a first connecting rib 504, and the second connecting part 503 is arranged on the first connecting rib 504. The first connecting rib 504 is arranged to connect the water pan 50 and the bracket 40, and can enhance the strength of the water pan 50, improve the bearing capacity of the water pan 50, and make the connection between the water pan 50 and the bracket 40 more firm.

[0104] The first connecting rib 504 is located below the bracket 40. The first connecting rib 504 extends in the up-down direction, and the second connecting part 503 is arranged at the top end of the first connecting rib 504.

[0105] As shown in Figure 6 , the bracket 40 is provided with a second connecting rib 405 protruding towards the water pan 50, and the first connecting part 401 is arranged on the second connecting rib 405.

[0106] The bottom wall of the bracket 40 protrudes downward to form a second connecting rib 405, so as to increase the distance between the bracket 40 and the water pan 50, and reduce the influence of the shaking of the bracket 40 on the water pan 50.

[0107] Optionally, the number of the second connecting part 503 is multiple, and the multiple second connecting parts 503 are sequentially arranged along the circumference of the water pan 50. The number of the first connecting part 401 is equal to that of the second connecting part 503 and corresponds one by one. As shown in Figure 3 , the number of the second connecting part and the first connecting part is two.

[0108] The multiple second connecting parts 503 arranged on the water pan 50 can further enhance the stability of the water pan 50 fixed on the bracket 40, prevent the damage or deformation of the water pan 50 caused by external force during the transportation of the air conditioner indoor unit, and thus ensure the normal use of the water pan 50.

[0109] The first connecting part 401 and the second connecting part 503 can be connected by screws, clamped or bonded.

[0110] Optionally, the indoor unit further comprises an indoor heat exchanger, and the indoor heat exchanger is arranged between the bracket 40 and the air duct assembly 30.

[0111] Optionally, the bracket 40 is arranged at the rear side of the air duct assembly 30, so as to facilitate the installation of the indoor heat exchanger on the bracket 40.

[0112] Optionally, the indoor unit further comprises an air inlet grille defining an air inlet, and the bracket 40 is connected with the air inlet grille.

[0113] In this way, the weight of the indoor heat exchanger is mainly transferred to the air inlet grille by the bracket 40, so that the bracket 40 bears less force, and thus the shaking of the bracket 40 during the transportation of the indoor unit will not cause damage to the water pan 50.

[0114] Optionally, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the bracket 40 comprises a receiving part 402 arranged between the water pan 50 and the indoor heat exchanger. The receiving part 402 defines a water receiving groove 404 corresponding to the indoor heat exchanger. The water receiving groove 404 is provided with a water outlet 403 in communication with the water pan 50.

[0115] The receiving part 402 is located below the indoor heat exchanger and is not above the first water receiving section 501. In this way, the condensed water generated by the indoor heat exchanger first drips into the water receiving groove 404, and then falls into the water pan 50 through the drain port 403, avoiding water splashing or drop noise caused by water directly falling into the water pan 50.
