[0018] The accompanying drawings of the present invention will further illustrate the system architecture of the present invention and the connection relationship between the components to help understand the implementation of the present invention.

[0019] Figure 1 : A schematic diagram of the overall architecture of the system of the present invention shows the data flow relationship between the various components. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In the following description, a large number of specific details are provided to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features well known in the art are not described.

[0021] This embodiment provides a waste cooking oil management system based on AI technology, which aims to achieve efficient monitoring, intelligent analysis and transparent management of waste oil. The system consists of multiple modules, and each module realizes real-time data transmission and processing through wireless communication and cloud computing. Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0022] Step 1: Installation of oil-water separator and intelligent pressure sensor base The oil-water separator is installed at the point where the kitchen waste oil is generated, such as the canteen and the kitchen, to store the kitchen waste oil-water mixture and separate the oil and water. An intelligent pressure sensing base is installed under the oil-water separator, which is equipped with a pressure sensor to detect the real-time weight change of the oil-water separator.

[0023] Step 2: Data transmission of wireless communication module The intelligent pressure sensor base integrates a wireless communication module, through which the weight data of the oil-water separator is transmitted to the cloud database in real time. The wireless communication module ensures the real-time and accuracy of the data for subsequent data analysis.

[0024] Step 3: Data analysis of AI processing module The AI ​​processing module is deployed on the cloud server. The module receives weight data from the intelligent pressure sensor base and calculates the amount of waste cooking oil using the difference in oil and water density. When the amount of waste cooking oil reaches the preset maintainable value, the AI ​​processing module automatically generates a maintenance notification and sends it to the worker terminal display APP in the responsible area.

[0025] Step 4: Execution of maintenance operations Workers receive maintenance notifications through the terminal display APP and go to the designated location to perform oil-water separator replacement and maintenance operations according to the prompts. After completing the maintenance, workers upload on-site photos and maintenance records through the APP. The uploaded data is synchronized to the cloud database for subsequent traceability and management.

[0026] Step 5: Intelligent adjustment of maintenance cycle The AI ​​processing module dynamically adjusts the maintenance cycle of the oil-water separator based on the latest weight data and maintenance records. If no updated weight data is received within the new cycle, the system will remind workers to take the initiative to go for maintenance to ensure the continued stable operation of the system.

[0027] Step 6: Tracking of waste cooking oil management information Paste the corresponding cloud data QR code at each waste cooking oil production point (i.e. waste oil provider, such as a company canteen, catering store, etc.). By scanning the QR code, you can display the waste cooking oil provider information, equipment maintenance records, and waste cooking oil tracking data at that location. This function ensures the transparency and traceability of the waste cooking oil management process, helping to prevent waste oil from illegally entering the sewer network or re-entering the food chain.

[0028] It should be noted that in this embodiment, for the specific structure and implementation of equipment such as oil-water separators, intelligent pressure sensor bases, AI processing modules, etc., ordinary technicians in the technical field can make corresponding adjustments according to actual needs without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0029] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
