         2 . The indoor unit of the air conditioner as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the base is connected to the air passage cover plate, and is positioned on a side, back on to the bottom shell, of the air passage cover plate. 
     
     
         3 . The indoor unit of the air conditioner as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the evaporator comprises:
 an evaporator body; and   a bottom frame, provided below the evaporator body, a plurality of drain holes is provided in the bottom frame.   
     
     
         4 . The indoor unit of the air conditioner as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the drain holes are divided into multiple rows of drain holes, and the drain holes in every two adjacent rows are provided in a staggered manner. 
     
     
         5 . The indoor unit of the air conditioner as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the at least two air passages comprise a first air passage and a second air passage adjacent to the first air passage, and an electric box mounting part is provided between the first air passage and the second air passage. 
     
     
         6 . The indoor unit of the air conditioner as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein a first upper volute tongue is provided on a side, close to the second air passage, of a first end of the first air duct, a second upper volute tongue is provided on a side, close to the first air passage, of a first end of the second air passage, and the first upper volute tongue and the second upper volute tongue are provided on one side of the electric box mounting part respectively. 
     
     
         7 . The indoor unit of the air conditioner as claimed in  claim 5 , further comprising a first wiring passage extending from the electric box mounting part to two sides of the electric box mounting part.
