Patent Literature 1: Japanese Patent No. 3141867 Patent Literature 2: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2015-169389 Patent Literature 3: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2016-099090 Patent Literature 4: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2016-183794 Patent Literature 5: Japanese Patent No. 4932916 Patent Literature 6: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2012-063133 Patent Literature 7: Japanese Patent No. 4604536 Patent Literature 8: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-315538 Patent Literature 9: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2013-104592 Bulletin

In an air conditioner having a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view, the width of the casing relative to the height of the casing (chassis) tends to be large, and drainage of drainage is difficult. That is, a drainage pipe is generally provided at the left end or the right end of the air conditioner. The height position in the up-down direction of the drain pan is set to be higher on either the left end side or the right end side of the air conditioner, and set to be lower on the other side. The drain pan is configured such that a portion between the left end side and the right end side is linearly inclined, and the drain pipe is connected to a lower portion of the drain pan.

For example, in an air conditioner having a long shape with a box height of less than 25 cm and a box width of 1 m or more, the vertical difference between the left and right ends becomes smaller, and the distance between the left and right ends is smaller. The distance between them also becomes longer. Along with this, the inclination of the drain pan also becomes slower (close to horizontal). For example, when installing an air conditioner, the air conditioner (drain pan) may be installed in a state where the air conditioner (drain pan) is slightly inclined, and there is a possibility that the drainage received by the drain pan cannot be quickly discharged outside without stagnation. That is, in the air conditioner provided with the above-mentioned structure, the tolerance range of a setting error becomes easy to become small.

In addition, when a drainage pipe is provided at the left end or the right end of the air conditioner, it is easy to waste the processing of the drainage pipe or the refrigerant pipe. For example, consider an air conditioner in which piping is removed from the right side of the box. When the air conditioner of this type is installed so that the left side of the cabinet is adjacent to the wall surface of the room, for example, on the rear side of the air conditioner, the pipe must be spread from the right side of the cabinet to the left. When the width of the air conditioner is more than 1m, the required length of the piping also increases with the width, which not only increases the cost of products or installation, but also wastes valuable earth resources such as copper or aluminum.

The purpose of this specification is to disclose an air conditioner that can sufficiently ensure the allowable range of installation errors and has a structure that can efficiently handle piping.
