The invention provides a deep-sea rare earth deposit mine collecting car and an operation method thereof. According to the method, a double-S-shaped reciprocating collection path is planned through an intelligent controller on the basis of a mining vehicle carrying a multi-stage collection device and aiming at the characteristic that deep sea rare earth is enriched in a sheet and multi-layer mode. According to the difference between the depth and compactness of the sediments, three stages of cutter suction units are adopted for layered collection: the first stage is used for 0-2m surface soft sediments, and the rotating speed of a reamer is 200-400r / min; the second stage is used for 2-4m middle-layer compact sediments, and the rotating speed is 350-600r / min; the third stage is used for 4-10m deep high-strength sediment, and the rotating speed is 500-700r / min. The terrain, posture and pressure are monitored in real time during operation, the posture, speed and obstacle avoidance of the vehicle body are automatically adjusted, and stable collection is achieved. The method has the advantages of accurate layering, comprehensive coverage, small environmental disturbance and high reliability, and is suitable for efficient, safe and environment-friendly collection of deep sea rare earth deposits.
