In the present embodiment, the optimum environmental parameter is one or more of a temperature parameter, a humidity parameter, or a gas composition parameter.
In the embodiment, the storage effect of the food materials is determined by various factors, the storage requirements of different food materials are different, and some food materials are greatly influenced by temperature, for example, some food materials needing quick freezing are suitable for being stored in the compartment 2 with lower temperature but not suitable for the compartment 2 with higher temperature, and suitable temperature parameters, especially the optimal temperature parameters, need to be set for the food materials; some food materials need a dry or wet storage environment, for example, most fruits and vegetables are suitable for being stored in an environment with high humidity, which is beneficial to keeping the moisture in the fruits and vegetables, and the food materials need to set a suitable humidity parameter, especially an optimal humidity parameter; some food materials are easily oxidized, some food materials emit odor in the storage process, particularly some food materials have strong pungent odor such as fishy smell and cowy smell, and the food materials with pungent odor are more suitable for being stored in a certain compartment 2 independently but not suitable for being stored in the same compartment 2 together with other food materials. Therefore, the optimal environmental parameter is one or more of a temperature parameter, a humidity parameter or a gas composition parameter to meet the specificity requirements of different food materials.
The environment parameter setting module 5 is connected to the inventory management module 3 and the environment data module 4 in a communication manner, and can set a target environment parameter according to the condition of the food material stored in the compartment 2. If the second food material is stored in the target compartment 2 storing the first food material, determining a second optimal environmental parameter of the second food material, and based on the first optimal environmental parameter and the second optimal environmental parameter. The environment parameter setting module 5 can set an optimal target parameter according to the respective optimal environment parameters of the first food material and the second food material, so that the set new target environment parameter can maximally balance the storage requirements of the newly-placed first food material and the originally-stored second food material.
When the intermediate value of the first optimal environmental parameter and the second optimal environmental parameter is taken, the intermediate value may be an average value of the first optimal environmental parameter and the second optimal environmental parameter, or may be selected as appropriate in consideration of other factors, for example, factors such as the number of the first food material and the second food material are considered, and in some embodiments, the weight of more food materials may be appropriately increased when the target environmental parameter is set. In other embodiments, the parameters for adjusting the weight of the first optimal environmental parameter and the second optimal environmental parameter include, but are not limited to, one or more factors of the type, amount, weight, shelf life, maturity, etc. of each of the first food material and the second food material. For example, the setting result of the target environmental parameter can be determined by the types of food materials by increasing the weight of the types of food materials.
Therefore, the food material storage system 100 with the storage device 1, the in-store management module 3, the environment data module 4 and the environment parameter setting module 5 can intelligently improve the storage effect of food materials, ensure the taste and flavor of the stored food materials and improve the use experience of users.
The food material storage system 100 further comprises a spatial chamber setting module 6, and if the target chamber 2 storing the first food material is the spatial chamber 2, the spatial chamber setting module 6 sets the target environmental parameter of the spatial chamber 2 to the first optimal environmental parameter.
In this embodiment, if the compartment 2 for storing the first food material is originally empty, the factors of the second food material do not need to be considered, and the spatial chamber setting module 6 directly adjusts the parameters such as the temperature of the current storage compartment 2 to the first optimal environmental parameters of the first food material, so as to achieve the optimal storage effect of the first food material.
The food material storage system 100 further includes a prompting module 7, which prompts the user to select an execution environment parameter setting module 5 or a compartment recommending module 8 if the second food material is stored in the target compartment 2 storing the first food material. The prompt module 7 in this embodiment may be in one or a combination of several types of prompt forms such as voice prompt, display screen text prompt, or light prompt.
The compartment recommendation module 8 is configured to recommend one or more other compartments 2 that match the first optimal environmental parameter to a degree exceeding a threshold. In this embodiment, the user may select the execution environment parameter setting module 5 or the compartment recommendation module 8, and when the user selects the execution environment parameter setting module 5, the target environment parameter of the target compartment 2 is determined based on the first optimal environment parameter and the second optimal environment parameter; when the user selects to execute the compartment recommending module 8, recommending another relatively suitable compartment 2 for the first food material, wherein the relatively suitable judgment criterion is whether the current environmental parameter of the compartment 2 is matched with the first optimal environmental parameter, and if the matching degree exceeds the threshold value, recommending the compartment 2 as the matched other compartment 2 or one of the other compartments 2. Through setting up suggestion module 7, the user can select to change room 2 or reset current room 2's environmental parameter according to the condition of self, preference, and the mode is more nimble, is favorable to improving user's use and experiences.
The user may select the execution environment parameter setting module 5 or the compartment recommendation module 8 through a voice interaction manner, or interact with the user through an operation interface provided by the food material storage system 100, or may take other forms, which is not limited herein.

For example, after the user puts the grain into the target compartment 2 (the temperature adjustment range of the target compartment 2 is 0-7 degrees, and the humidity adjustment range is 20-99%), if the vegetables are already put in the target compartment 2 (the temperature of the target compartment 2 is 3 degrees, and the humidity is 90%) and the first optimal environmental parameter of the grain does not match the currently set environmental parameter of the target compartment 2, the prompting module 7 gives a prompt: if the humidity of the current target compartment 2 is not suitable for storing grains, the target environmental parameters are adjusted or the grains are replaced into other compartments 2. If the user selects to adjust the target environmental parameters, the food material storage system 100 adjusts the humidity to an intermediate humidity of 90% of the optimal humidity of vegetables and 65% of the optimal temperature of grains of 40% through the environmental parameter setting module 5 and informs the user of the result; if the user selects to replace the grain to another compartment 2, the food material storage system 100 performs an operation of displaying the recommended another compartment 2 to the user at the library management module 3, requesting the user to replace the compartment 2, and modifying the compartment information for storing the grain to the replaced another compartment 2 when it is detected that the replacement of the compartment 2 is completed.
