The invention discloses an external grounding early warning device for a ship. The device comprises an
underwater detection main body, a retracting and releasing mechanism and a control device, the
underwater detection main body comprises a tow fish, a front-scan
sonar is arranged at the front end of the tow fish, side-scan sonars are arranged on two sides of the tow fish, a water tank is connected to the upper part of the tow fish, an
electromagnet is arranged at the top of the water tank, a high-pressure gas tank is connected to the front end of the water tank through a plurality of
control valves, and a one-way valve is arranged at the rear end of the water tank;
data lines and power supply lines of the front scanning
sonar, the side scanning
sonar, the control valve and the
electromagnet are all connected to the watertight connector. The retracting and releasing mechanism is arranged on the stem and comprises a base, a supporting arm and a retracting and releasing reel, the supporting arm extends out of the stem, and the retracting and releasing reel is used for retracting and releasing the
underwater detection body; the device is comprehensive in detection and convenient and fast to fold and unfold, sinking and floating can be controlled through density adjustment of a water tank, an
electromagnet soft layer is attached in an anti-skid mode, an ear hanging bolt protection
rope is prevented from being lost, and the grounding early warning accuracy and reliability are effectively improved.
