Self-adaptive seabed lander based on load-rejectable foot pads

Abstract

The invention discloses a self-adaptive seabed lander based on load-rejectable foot pads, and belongs to the technical field of deep sea exploration. The seabed lander comprises a buoyancy frame, a support mechanism and a release mechanism. The support mechanism comprises a plurality of telescopic support legs, a leveling control system and the load-rejectable foot pads; the telescopic support legs are symmetrically arranged at the bottom edge of the buoyancy frame; the leveling control system comprises an attitude sensor module and a control host, the attitude sensor module acquires externalattitude data of the seabed lander and transmits the data to the control host, and the control host controls and adjusts the lengths of the telescopic support legs to adjust the seabed lander horizontal; the load-rejectable foot pads as counterweights are arranged at the bottom ends of the telescopic support legs respectively. The release mechanism comprises acoustic releasers connected with the load-rejectable foot pads. The self-adaptive seabed lander has the advantages that the attitude of the lander during landing is adjusted in real time through the telescopic support legs to prevent thelander from falling down, and the lander adapts to various complicated seabed environments; the load-rejectable foot pads can be used as both ballasts and landing supports.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of deep sea exploration, in particular to an adaptive seabed lander based on throwable foot pads. Background technique

[0002] Most of the earth's surface is covered by seawater, which can reach 71% of the earth's surface. In the case of dwindling land resources, marine resources have gradually become the focus of resource development. There are abundant reserves of proven marine mineral resources, chemical resources, biological resources and marine power resources. At present, humans have detected an average ocean depth of about 3,700 meters, and the deepest Mariana Trench in the world has reached a depth of about 11,000 meters. There are abundant resources in the deep sea and marine life that humans have not yet understood. In order to explore the deep sea The seabed requires advanced seabed observation technology. Most of the traditional ocean observation methods cannot realize real-time, continuous, a...
