The invention discloses a lever linkage shutter evaporator, comprising an evaporator composed of an evaporating pipe, a fin arranged on the evaporating pipe, and a feed pipe and an air return pipe connected with the evaporating pipe, wherein a water collecting groove, a drainage outlet and a support leg are arranged below the evaporator, a defrosting water pipe, a top cap plate are arranged abovethe evaporator, wind shields are arranged at two sides of the evaporator, shutters as well as linkage rods, pull rods and levers which are used for pushing and pulling the opening and closing actionsof the shutters are arranged on the wind shields, and a fixed baffle board is arranged above the shutters; the blades of the shutters are welded by a metal sheet strip with a Z-shaped section and a metal sheet strip with an L-shaped section, and are formed by extending thin-wall hollow square pipes at two wings, and teflon end plates are arranged between the blades and the wind shields. The evaporator provided by the invention has the main advantages that the blades of the shutters are strong in torsional rigidity, easy to laminate, and not frozen, an automatic water-washed frost program of the evaporator can orderly operate, the defrosting water flow is large, the defrosting time is shortened, and the operating efficiency and refrigerating capacity of the evaporator are improved.
