The first to third pins 133a, 133b and 133c of the first to third pins 133a, 133b and 133c may be installed in the second frame receiving part 225. The sum of the widths of the first to third pins 133a, 133b and 133c provided in the second frame receiving part 225 may be smaller than the width B of the second frame receiving part 225. [

The first to third pins 133a, 133b, and 133c may be seated on the left side (reference to FIG. 6) of the second rim seating part 225. The left side portion may refer to a side of the side portion of the second edge receiving portion 225 that is closer to the first edge receiving portion 224 than a direction of the width (B).

5, the length of the portion of the heat exchanger installed in the third edge mounting portion 226 of the heat exchanger 130 may be relatively short.

5 and 6 together, the mounting position of the heat exchanger 130 in the second rim seating part 225 can be changed with respect to one base 200 structure. Therefore, even if the length or size of the heat exchanger 130 is variable according to the capacity or size of the outdoor unit, the shared base 200 can be used.

7 is a plan view showing another embodiment in which a heat exchanger is installed on the base of the outdoor unit according to the embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, a heat exchanger 130c according to another example may be installed in the shared base 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The heat exchanger 130c may have a shape that is bent many times so as to be seated on the first to third rim seating portions 224, 225, and 226.

The heat exchanger 130c includes first to third pins 133a, 133b and 133c which are respectively coupled to the heat exchange pipes 131 arranged in three rows. A plurality of the first to third fins 133a, 133b, and 133c may be installed along the direction in which the three rows of heat exchange pipes 131 are bent.

That is, some of the first to third pins 133a, 133b, and 133c of the first to third pins 133a, 133b, and 133c may be installed in the first frame receiving portion 224 . The direction in which the first to third pins 133a, 133b and 133c are installed, that is, the extension direction of the heat exchanger 130, which is seated in the first rim seating part 224, 110a and form a direction substantially perpendicular to the air flow f1 flowing through the suction panel 110. [

The first to third pins 133a, 133b and 133c of the first to third pins 133a, 133b and 133c may be installed in the second frame receiving part 225. The sum of the widths of the first to third pins 133a, 133b and 133c provided in the second frame receiving part 225 may be smaller than the width B of the second frame receiving part 225. [

The direction in which the first to third pins 133a, 133b and 133c of the other part are installed, that is, the extension direction of the heat exchanger 130 which is seated in the second rim seating part 225, (110b), and is formed obliquely with respect to the air flow (f2) flowing through the suction panel (110).

Accordingly, the heat exchanging area of the air passing through the heat exchanger 130 seated in the second rim seating part 225 can be increased. As a result, there is an advantage that heat exchange performance can be improved.

Since the width of the second rim seating part 225 can be made sufficiently large and the position or the shape of the heat exchanger 130 installed in the second rim seating part 225 can be changed, The heat exchanger 130 having various sizes or shapes can be applied.
