[0098] Under the pulling of the steel wire pull rope 343, the heat exchanger body 200 is slowly lifted, at this time, the locking structure 346 can be opened according to the need, so that the heat exchanger body 200 moves to the set position along the sliding guide rail 345, the locking structure 346 is locked at the position of the sliding pulley 344, after the locking is completed, the steel wire pull rope 343 slowly becomes a relaxed state, the two ends of the heat exchanger body 200 are close to the frame body 310, the sealing baffles 230 on the two sides of the heat exchanger body 210 are close to the frame sealing plate 320, and the adjustment is completed, correspondingly, at this time, the second cooling unit can be started and used to provide refrigerant for the evaporator body 330.
[0099] In addition, it should be noted that the heat exchanger body 200 is slidably arranged on the evaporator structure 300, the heat exchanger body 200 can be pulled out through the steel wire pull rope 343, so as to replace the heat exchanger body 200 or replace the evaporator structure 300, which facilitates maintenance and repair, and improves the maintainability and reliability of the machine room air conditioner.
