Abstract:
1. A wall-hung type indoor unit of an air conditioner, comprising: a casing configured to be attached to a wall of a room and having an air inlet for indoor air at a front side thereof; and a receiving device provided at a lower portion of the casing and configured to receive a signal transmitted from a remote controller, the receiving device being mounted on a first substrate disposed within the casing, the casing having a first surface facing the receiving device, the first surface being inclined upward so as to form an angle of 30 degrees or less with respect to a horizontal plane disposed at a lower end of the first surface in a state in which the casing is attached to the wall, the receiving device being disposed such that a longitudinal centerline of the receiving device is inclined forward with respect to an inclined plane, the inclined plane being perpendicular to the first surface and intersecting the longitudinal centerline at the first surface, the longitudinal centerline of the receiving device being perpendicularly arranged relative to the first substrate and being directed diagonally downward with a lower end of the longitudinal centerline being located farther from the wall of the room than an upper end of the longitudinal centerline, the inclined plane intersecting the horizontal plane to define four quadrants, and the longitudinal centerline of the receiving device being inclined forward with respect to the inclined plane such that the receiving device is only disposed in an upper one of the four quadrants closest to the wall in the state in which the casing is attached to the wall.
