The structure of the collection box control module 210 for this purpose is illustrated in FIG. 7, and its operation and structure will be described later with reference to FIG. 7.

The inlet 220 is a path through which waste cooking oil is introduced, and is opened at the request of an authenticated user. To this end, when the reader 284 installed outside the housing 280 recognizes user information from a card or mobile terminal that stores user information and transmits it to the collection box control module 210, the collection box control module 210 It receives user information and determines whether the user is permitted to put waste cooking oil into the collection box, and determines whether to open the input port 220 based on the result. That is, the inlet 220 is opened and closed under the control of the collection box control module 210, and is controlled to be opened only at the request of a pre-registered user to input waste cooking oil.

The manure member 230 is detachably installed at the lower part of the inlet 220 and filters out foreign substances 30 contained in the waste cooking oil introduced through the inlet 220. For this purpose, the strainer member 230 is implemented as a dense chain, and is attached to a chain strainer 231 detachably fixed inside the waste cooking oil collection box 200, and a traction mechanism that moves the center of the chain strainer 231 up and down. When the center of the chain strainer 231 is pulled upward by the member 232 and the traction member 232, a foreign matter catcher ( 233).

The traction rope (232-2) can be wound or unwound by external force applied through or rotational force applied by a motor, etc.

Figure 5 shows a state in which the winding unit 232-3 unwinds the traction rope 232-2 and the center of the chain strainer 231 sags downward, thereby filtering out foreign substances 30 contained in waste cooking oil. 6, the winding portion (232-3) winds the traction rope (232-2) so that the center of the chain strainer (231) is pulled upward, so that foreign matter flows down the surface of the chain strainer (231) and into the foreign matter receiver (233). It illustrates the collected state.

At this time, when the winding unit 232-3 repeats the operation of winding or unwinding the traction rope 232-2 to move the center of the chain strainer 231 up/down and deforms the chain strainer 231, the chain strainer 231 is deformed. Foreign matter adhered to the surface of the strainer 231 can be easily separated and collected in the foreign matter receiver 233.

For this purpose, the collection box control module 210 monitors the permeation amount of waste cooking oil passing through the strainer member 230, and if the permeation amount is less than the preset standard permeation amount, it is determined that the filtration state of the chain strainer 231 is not good. An external force may be applied to the traction member 232 so that the traction member 232 raises the center of the chain strainer 231 upward. For example, when the permeation amount of waste cooking oil passing through the manure member 230 is less than the reference permeation amount, the collection box control module 210 applies rotational force to the winding unit 232-3 to wind up the traction rope (232-2). By doing so, the center of the chain strainer 231 is raised to the top, or by repeatedly applying rotational force in both directions to the winding portion 232-3 to repeat the operation of winding or unwinding the traction rope 232-2, the chain strainer 231 Foreign substances stuck to the surface can be easily separated.
