Abstract

An indoor unit of an air-conditioning apparatus includes a first heat exchanger inclined forward and downward, a second heat exchanger provided below the first heat exchanger, a drain pan provided below the second heat exchanger, and a blocking member covering an area between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger and also a part of the first heat exchanger from a front side. The first heat exchanger has at least one heat exchanging unit. An upper edge of the blocking member is higher than a front edge at a lower end of the heat exchanging unit disposed at a front-most side.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An indoor unit of an air-conditioning apparatus, the indoor unit comprising:
 a first heat exchanger inclined forward and downward;   a second heat exchanger provided below the first heat exchanger;   a drain pan provided below the second heat exchanger; and   a blocking member covering an area between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger and also a part of the first heat exchanger and also a part of the second heat exchanger from a front side,   the first heat exchanger having at least one heat exchanging unit,   the heat exchanging unit including   a plurality of first heat-transfer fins arranged apart from each other in a left-right direction, and   a plurality of first heat-transfer pipes extending through the plurality of first heat-transfer fins,   an upper edge of the blocking member being higher than a front edge at a lower end of the heat exchanging unit disposed at a front-most side and being higher than a first heat-transfer pipe disposed at a lowest position among the plurality of first heat-transfer pipes in the heat exchanging unit disposed at the front-most side,   the second heat exchanger including   a plurality of second heat-transfer fins arranged apart from each other in the left-right direction, and   a plurality of second heat-transfer pipes extending through the plurality of second heat-transfer fins,   the blocking member including a claw unit for securing the blocking member, the claw unit being hooked to at least two of the plurality of first heat-transfer pipes and the plurality of second heat-transfer pipes.   
     
     
         2 - 4 . (canceled) 
     
     
         5 . The indoor unit of an air-conditioning apparatus of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the blocking member is made of at least one of resin and metal.
