[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the detector has the function of collecting odors and trace elements in the air for analysis, and the air outlets are all opened obliquely downward.
[0021] Through the setting, the detector collects the odor and trace elements in the air for analysis to determine whether decay or other conditions occur. Since the air outlet holes are opened obliquely downward, it is convenient for water to drip in.
[0022] The kitchen storage environment monitoring device based on the Internet of Things provided by the present invention has the following advantages:
[0023] First, the food is classified in order in the partition slots between the partition plates. Through the operation of the exhaust fan, the air around the food can enter the empty slots through the exhaust holes.

The water source outside can be filtered by the water purifier 18, so that the sprayed water can be made cleaner. The purified water is delivered from the water purifier 18 to the delivery pipe 19. Inside the tube 16, when the humid air enters the empty groove 7, most of the moisture in the air can be blocked by the absorbent pad 8, thereby avoiding affecting the operation of the exhaust fan 6. The blocked water can be collected by the water collecting tank 9 to avoid accumulation. The exhausted air can be discharged to the outside of the storage cabinet 1 through the air outlet 10. At the same time, water droplets will appear during the exhaust process of the air outlet 10, which can be collected by the collection box 20. The odor and trace elements in the air are collected by the detector 5 for analysis to analyze whether rot or the like occurs. Since the air outlet 10 is opened at an angle downward, it is convenient for water to drip down.
