[0059] In an optional embodiment, a partition is also provided between the main storage space 310 and the independent storage space 330 to facilitate the placement of shallow wire baskets or other shallow cargo pallets in the main storage space 310, with the bottom partition serving a supporting function.

[0060] It should be noted that the partition can be detachably installed between the main storage space 310 and the independent storage space 330.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the freezer main door 110 is a transparent glass sliding door, which facilitates the display of items in the main storage space 310.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, a pad 240 is provided on the inside of the independent storage door 200 to improve sealing.

[0063] In an optional embodiment, ventilation openings are provided on the sidewall of the workspace 320.

[0064] Working principle: A shallow wire mesh basket or other shallow cargo tray is placed in the main storage space 310, covering the entire glass display surface, that is, the display surface below the main door 110 of the freezer, maximizing the display of items inside the freezer. At this time, by opening and closing the independent storage door 200, items that need to be frozen can be placed in the independent storage space 330, achieving maximum display while facilitating access to items at the bottom. The independent storage door 200 is opened as follows: rotating the independent rotating handle 210 causes the pull cable 414 to rotate, causing the locking block 412 to disengage from the locking groove 421, thereby allowing the connecting rod 420 to rotate freely, thus unlocking the independent storage door 200. During the opening of the independent storage door 200, under the action of the first slider 430 and the first spring 431, the independent storage door 200 will not fall rapidly. When the independent storage door 200 is opened to the bottom, under the action of the second slider 440 and the second spring 441, it plays a buffering role, avoiding damage to the hinge 230 or causing the independent storage door 200 to hit the ground. The independent storage door 200 is closed as follows: rotate the independent storage door 200 to close it. When closed, the locking block 412 is aligned with the locking groove 421. The locking block 412 is locked in the locking groove 421, preventing the connecting rod 420 from rotating, thereby locking the independent storage door 200 and realizing the automatic locking function.
