[0034] Please also refer to Figure 1-6 As shown, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a small animal automatic expelling device for a substation, comprising:

[0035] The integrated block 1 has a through slot 4 at the middle of the bottom end thereof, and a wire slot 5 is provided on the bottom surface of the through slot 4;

[0036] A control mechanism 12 is arranged on the surface of the integrated block 1, and the control mechanism 12 includes a central controller 124; the central controller 124 is electrically connected to a flashlight 2 and a buzzer 3;

[0037] An infrared transmitter 7, an infrared receiver 8 and a water collection tank 9 are arranged on the surface of the integrated block 1; a water spray nozzle 10 is arranged on the bottom surface of the water collection tank 9;

[0038] A water storage tank 17 is arranged in the integrated block 1 , and a diversion pump 16 is provided on one side of the water storage tank. The input end of the diversion pump 16 extends to the inside of the water storage tank 17 , and the output end is fixedly connected to the inside of the water collecting tank 9 .

[0039] It can be seen from the above settings that in the embodiment of the present invention, the integrated block 1 provides a location for installation and fixing of other structures. The design of the integrated block allows all components to be integrated together to form a compact unit, which is easy to install and maintain. The through slot 4 and the wire trough 5 are designed to allow small animals to pass through without contacting live equipment, while providing necessary space for other parts of the device (such as infrared transmitter 7 and infrared receiver 8) to reduce direct damage to small animals and protect the equipment of the substation. The control mechanism 12 is responsible for coordinating and controlling the expulsion action, and the central controller 124 receives signals from the infrared transmitter 7 and the infrared receiver 8, and initiates expulsion measures such as flashing and buzzing according to these signals. The infrared transmitter 7 and the infrared receiver 8 constitute a detection system for detecting whether the small animal attempts to pass through the through slot 4. When the small animal blocks the infrared signal, the infrared receiver 8 detects this change and sends a signal to the central controller 124 to trigger the expulsion action. The flashlight 2 and buzzer 3 are active defense measures of the expulsion device: when small animals are detected, the flashlight 2 and buzzer 3 will be activated to drive away the small animals through light and sound to prevent them from entering the dangerous area. The water collection tank 9 and the water nozzle 10 provide another means of expulsion: when small animals try to pass through the through slot 4, the water nozzle 10 will spray water to drive them away. Through this physical barrier, the expulsion effect is increased while reducing the harm to small animals. The water storage tank 17 and the diversion pump 16 constitute the water supply system of the device. The water storage tank 17 stores water, and the diversion pump 16 is responsible for transporting water from the water storage tank 17 to the water collection tank 9 for use by the water nozzle 10.

When the infrared receiver 8 cannot receive the infrared rays, the central controller 124 receives a blocking signal, starts the flash lamp 2 to flash, and the buzzer 3 buzzes to drive the animal away. At the same time, the central controller 124 starts the diversion pump 16 to extract water from the water storage tank 17.

[0045] Step S1, using an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver to detect whether a small animal attempts to pass through a predetermined area;

[0046] Step S2, when the small animal blocks the infrared light emitted by the infrared transmitter, causing the infrared receiver to be unable to receive the infrared light, the central controller identifies the small animal intrusion signal;

[0047] Step S3, based on the identified small animal intrusion signal, the central controller initiates expulsion measures, including emitting flashing lights and buzzing sounds, and starting the diversion pump to spray water, so as to expel the small animals from the predetermined area.

[0048] Specifically, during installation preparation: the integrated block 1 is adsorbed on the cable port of the switch cabinet by the magnetic suction cup 14, and the cable of the switch cabinet is discharged downward from the cable trough 5.
