Self-floating seabed-based observation platform

Abstract

The invention discloses a self-floating seabed-based observation platform which comprises a platform housing and a support arranged inside the platform housing, wherein monitoring equipment and acoustic release transponders are mounted on the support, the platform housing comprises an upper layer platform and a lower layer platform, the support is arranged in the upper layer platform, the upper layer platform is detachably connected with the lower layer platform through a mechanical tripping gear, due to the adoption of the technical scheme, the upper platform and the lower platform are combined to form a set of internally-built flow guiding structure, after being put from a water surface, the self-floating seabed-based observation platform can effectively prevent rolling during a falling process, and that an observation platform can fall onto the bottom stably can be ensured; the two shallow water acoustic release transponders are combined together with the mechanical tripping gear, and the two-stage tripping gear is designed, namely each acoustic release transponder can be independent from the upper layer platform, and the upper layer platform and the lower layer platform loaded with equipped can are divorced for floating.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a seabed observation device, in particular to a self-floating seabed-based observation platform. Background technique [0002] The ocean plays a pivotal role in the survival and development of human beings. With the exploration and development of marine resources in our country, the application of underwater observation instruments is increasing day by day. Due to the complex working environment and harsh conditions, the traditional deck winch and submersible buoy system can no longer meet the requirements of this special environment. [0003] At present, the monitoring methods for the deep water environment are not perfect, and the data obtained by various traditional technical means are limited. Therefore, the collection of large-depth near-bottom in-situ observation data is particularly important. However, all kinds of observation instruments must first be integrated on a carrying platform that can provide protection and h...

Problems solved by technology

The submersible buoy is usually composed of a buoy, a cable for hanging instruments and equipment, an acoustic releaser and the counterweight connected below. It is easy to salvage and recover multiple equipments; the disadvantage is that the observation equipment is far away from the seabed

The seabed base is usually composed of a bracket with instruments and equipment, an acoustic releaser, a recovery cable, and a counterweight. The advantage is that the equipment carried can be observed close to the seabed; the disadvantage is that it is difficult to ensure its bottoming posture when it is released. Or it is difficult to recover if it is trapped in the silt; when recovering, it is necessary to use a lifting device to pull it up through the recovery cable, which is difficult to operate; at the same time, the carrying capacity of the traditional seabed foundation is limited, and often only one or two types of equipment can be installed
