AI Technical Summary
Since there is only one door body for the vertical freezer, the cooling capacity of each floor of storage space is easily lost when opening the door to pick up items, resulting in large temperature fluctuations in the cabinet and increasing the energy consumption for cooling.
A flip mechanism is designed, including a baffle, a shaft seat, a limiting assembly and a push block. The baffle can rotate and switch its horizontal or vertical posture. The limiting assembly restricts its reverse rotation when the baffle is vertical, and avoids cooling capacity loss.
The vertical posture of the baffle effectively blocks the space above the shelf, avoids cooling capacity loss, reduces refrigeration energy consumption, and reduces temperature fluctuations.
