  As shown in FIGS. 1 (A) and 2 (A), the second panel 22 is disposed adjacent to and below the first panel 21 and has a rectangular shape when viewed from the front. The lower frame 242 of the first panel 21 and the upper edge 221 of the second panel 22 face each other in the vertical direction. As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the second panel 22 has a display unit 81 that displays the operation mode of the air conditioner 10 by turning on, blinking, or turning off the lamp.

  The upper edge portion 221 of the second panel 22 has an upper edge surface 221s whose dimension in the left-right direction is larger than that in the front-rear direction. The upper edge surface 221s is at a position facing the lower frame 242 of the first panel 21. On the upper edge surface 221s, a water receiving portion 51, a pair of water conduits 55, a rear side wall portion 56, a plurality of partition walls 57, and the like are formed.

  The water receiving part 51 is a part that can receive and retain water flowing down along each decorative bar 41. The water receiver 51 is integrally formed with a main part constituting the second panel 22 by a molding method such as injection molding. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5A, the water receiver 51 extends along the left-right direction (horizontal direction) immediately below the plurality of decorative bars 41 of the first panel 21. The water receiver 51 is provided in an area where the condensed water flowing down from all the decorative bars 41 can be received. The water receiver 51 is provided on the front side of the upper edge surface 221s.

  In the present embodiment, the water receiving portion 51 is configured to be continuous in the horizontal direction so as to cover all the decorative bars 41 from below as shown as a groove portion 53 described later, but is not limited thereto. For example, a plurality of independent water receivers 51 may be provided for each makeup bar 41, and the plurality of makeup bars 41 are divided into several groups, and a plurality of independent water receivers for each group. 51 may be provided.

  The water receiver 51 includes a plurality of grooves 53 that are recessed downward and extend in parallel with each other. Each groove portion 53 extends in a crossing direction that intersects the blowing direction of the air blown from the air blower outlet 11. In the present embodiment, the intersecting direction is a direction substantially orthogonal to the air blowing direction. The plurality of grooves 53 are formed by a plurality of protrusions 54 (54a, 54b) protruding upward from the upper edge surface 221s. Each groove portion 53 extends toward a water conduit 55 described later, and guides the water retained in the water receiving portion 51 to the water conduit 55. At least one of the plurality of grooves 53 has an end communicating with the water conduit 55 in the horizontal direction. In other words, the end of the groove 53 is open in the horizontal direction.

  The upper end of the front-side convex portion 54a located on the most front side is higher than the upper ends of other convex portions 54b located on the back side. The rearmost groove 53 is defined by a wall surface 54c of the upper edge surface 221s. The upper end portion of the wall surface 54c is positioned higher than the upper end portions of the plurality of convex portions 54b between the wall surface 54c and the front side convex portion 54a. Thereby, a space for accommodating condensed water is formed between the inner wall surface 54c of the front side convex portion 54a and the wall surface 54c, and the condensed water accommodated in the accommodating space is formed on the outer surface (front side) of the second panel 22. It is configured so that it does not easily flow down to the surface.

  The width of each groove 53 is not particularly limited. By appropriately adjusting the width of each groove portion 53, the dew condensation water easily diffuses in the longitudinal direction of the groove portion 53 due to, for example, a capillary phenomenon. Thereby, the water retention function of the water receiver 51 can be enhanced. Further, in the present embodiment, since the water receiving part 51 includes a plurality of groove parts 53, compared with the case where the water receiving part 51 includes only a single groove part, the width of each groove part 53 is reduced and water retention by capillary action is performed. Condensed water can be dispersed in a wide range of the water receiver 51 while enhancing the function. As a result, the dew condensation water is less likely to spill out of the water receiver 51.

  A plane partitioned by the rear side wall portion 56 and the plurality of partition walls 57 is formed on the rear side of the wall surface 54c. This plane is substantially the same height as the wall surface 54c. The back side wall portion 56 is located on the most back side of the upper edge surface 221s and is erected upward from the upper edge surface 221s. The back side wall portion 56 has a length similar to that of the water receiving portion 51 and extends in the left-right direction to the vicinity of the pair of water conduits 55.

  The plurality of partition walls 57 are arranged on the upper edge surface 221s with a predetermined interval in the left-right direction. Each partition wall 57 has an end portion on the back side connected to the back side wall portion 56, and is erected in a rib shape upward from the upper edge surface 221s. As a result, a region on the back side of the water receiving portion 51 is formed with a plurality of spaces surrounded on three sides by the back side wall portion 56 and the partition wall 57. Each space can also retain a part of the water retained in the water receiver 51.

  One water conduit 55 is provided on the right side of the upper edge surface 221s, and the other water conduit 55 is provided on the left side of the upper edge surface 221s. Since these water conduits 55 have substantially the same structure except that they are symmetrical with each other, only the structure of the right-side water conduit 55 shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B will be described. The water conduit 55 plays a role of guiding the water retained in the water receiving portion 51 to the drain pan 34 (FIG. 1) as a water accommodating portion. The flow path of the dew condensation water between the water conduit 55 and the drain pan 34 may be, for example, the inner surface of the second panel 22. Further, for example, a guide channel in which both sides in the horizontal direction are partitioned by a guide wall (not shown) may be formed between the water guide channel 55 and the drain pan 34.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (B), the water conduit 55 has a bottom surface 551 which is a part of the upper edge surface 221s. The bottom surface 551 is at a position lower than the upper ends of the plurality of convex portions 54 forming the groove portion 53. The water guide channel 55 has a wall portion 58 erected upward from an edge on the back side of the bottom surface 551, a wall portion 59 erected upward from an edge portion on the front side and a right edge portion of the bottom surface 551, and And a partition wall 57 located on the rightmost side. Between the wall portion 59 and the partition wall 57, the right end portion of the water receiving portion 51 is disposed, and as described above, at least one end portion of the plurality of groove portions 53 is connected to the water conduit 55. And communicate in the horizontal direction. Further, a water conduit outlet 55a is formed between the wall portion 58 and the wall portion 59. The lower edge portion of the water conduit outlet 55a is at a position lower than the upper end of the wall portion 58 and the upper end of the wall portion 59, and is at the same height as the bottom surface 551.

  Condensed water that has flowed into the water conduit 55 from the groove portion 53 follows the route indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 5B, for example, and reaches the water conduit outlet 55a, and then, as described above, the water conduit 55 and the drain pan 34 Is accommodated in the drain pan 34 through a flow path (not shown) between the two. The water conduit 55 may have a structure in which the water conduit outlet 55a is lower than the end of the groove 53. Thereby, the dew condensation water is easily guided by the water conduit outlet 55a.

  The second panel 22 shown in FIG. 5A includes, for example, an unillustrated upper mold for forming the upper edge 221, an unillustrated front mold for forming the front shape, and a rear surface shape. The main part including the water receiving part 51 can be integrally formed by using an approximately back mold and an unillustrated lower mold for forming the lower edge part 222. On the other hand, if a plurality of groove portions 53 as in the present embodiment is formed at the lower end portion of the first panel 21 shown in FIG. 4, there are a plurality of decorative bars 41, a plurality of groove portions 25, and the like.
