[0061] It is understandable that the shelf body 10 has a plurality of shelf parts 110 for placing items, and at least part of the shelf parts 110 is a sensing shelf part 130, that is, part of the shelf body 10 can be divided and separated as a sensing shelf part 130, so that this part can perform food shelf life monitoring reminders, and the remaining part has a conventional function of placing items as a conventional shelf part (it is understandable that the conventional shelf part and the sensing shelf part 130 need to be separated). The number of the sensing shelf parts 130 is not limited, and can be one or more, determined according to actual needs. Among them, when all of the plurality of shelf parts 110 of the shelf body 10 are set as sensing shelves 130, the number of sensing shelves 130 is multiple.

[0062] Optionally, the number of the shelf parts 110 is N, wherein the number of the sensor shelf parts 130 is 1 to N; N is a positive integer greater than 1. In this embodiment, the number of the sensor shelf parts 130 can be any positive integer in the range of 1 to N (including the endpoint values), which is determined according to actual needs.

[0063] Optionally, the number of the placement portions 110 is N, wherein the number of the sensor placement portions 130 is N-1 or N; N is a positive integer.

[0064] For example, in combination Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the shelf 110 includes a plurality of sensor shelves 130, and the plurality of sensor shelves 130 are arranged at intervals. That is, the shelf 110 is entirely configured as a sensor shelf 130, and is divided into a plurality of sensor shelves 130, so as to realize the partitioned storage of different items and the separate monitoring and reminder of the shelf life of different foods.

[0065] Optionally, combined Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there are multiple sensor mounting parts 130, which are spaced apart. There are multiple sensor groups 20, which are the same as the sensor mounting parts 130, and the sensor groups 20 and the sensor mounting parts 130 are arranged one by one.

[0066] In this embodiment, the number of sensor groups 20 is the same as the number of sensor shelves 130, and multiple sensor groups 20 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with multiple sensor shelves 130, so that each sensor shelf 130 is equipped with a corresponding sensor group 20, so as to achieve independent monitoring of each sensor shelf 130 and improve the accuracy of food monitoring on the shelf 1. The number of sensor shelves 130 can be determined according to actual needs.

Among them, the first shelf part 140 is a plurality of spaced support rods 112, and the second shelf part 150 is a storage plate 114. The shelf body 10 composed of the shelf parts 110 with two structural forms can be used to place different foods, thereby improving the utilization rate of the storage space of the shelf 1.

[0075] In some embodiments, the number of sensor groups 20 is the same as the number of sensor shelves 130, and the number of sensor groups 20 is set in one-to-one correspondence with the sensor shelves 130. The storage information obtained by one sensor shelf 130 corresponding to one sensor group 20 is convenient and simple.

[0076] Optionally, combined Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, when the sensor placement portion 130 includes a plurality of spaced support rods 112, and the sensor group 20 includes a plurality of sensors, the plurality of sensors may be disposed on one of the support rods 112, or may be disposed on different support rods 112.

[0094] Optionally, the display assembly 30 includes a display screen.

[0095] In this embodiment, a display screen is used as the display component 30 to facilitate multi-information interaction with the user. The weight and freshness of the food can be displayed on the display screen to show the user the storage information of the food.

[0096] Optionally, the display assembly 30 includes LED lights.

[0097] In this embodiment, LED lights are used as display components 30 to provide a simple and intuitive display method. Different colors of LED lights can be used to display the freshness of food. For example, when the LED light is red, it means that the food is expired; when the LED light is orange, it means that the food is about to expire; when the LED light is green, it means that the food is fresh. Using LED lights as display components 30 is simple and easy to understand, which can speed up the user's judgment speed for determining the status of food and improve the user's experience of using the rack 1. In addition, since LED lights have the advantages of low power consumption and long life, they can increase the service life of the rack 1 and reduce the energy consumption of the rack 1.

[0098] It should be noted that, in the storage information displayed according to the signal of the sensor group 20, the specific type of the stored information needs to be determined according to the specific display component 30.
