[0002] The multi-beam sounding system, also known as a strip sounding system, is an important acoustic device in a research vessel, which detects the topography of the seabed by using the propagation characteristics of sound waves in water. The multi-beam box body bears the installation and use of the multi-beam device and ensures the normal use of the multi-beam function.
[0003] The multi-beam measurement accuracy is mainly affected by internal system error factors and external environmental interference factors. Among them, the external factors affecting the multi-beam measurement accuracy include sea state factors, improper human operation, multi-beam instrument self-noise, underwater noise, ship bottom bubbles, sound wave interference of other equipment, disturbance of surrounding ships to water, and influence of seabed bottom on sound waves.
[0004] The polar research vessel sails in the polar ice zone for a long time, and compared with the conventional water area, the floating ice in the polar ice zone will impact the multi-beam box body to deform. At the same time, the ice blocks are gathered under the box body due to the seawater, and the gas between the ice blocks and the box body is compressed sharply to easily generate bubbles. The generation of bubbles weakens the transmission and reception of multi-beam sound waves, and further affects the detection accuracy of the multi-beam. SUMMARY

By arranging the through-sea balance pipe on the multi-beam box body, the damage of the multi-beam device caused by the impact of floating ice is prevented, and the generation of bubbles in the box body is avoided to affect the measurement accuracy of the multi-beam device.
