Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of obtaining seabed sediment samples, and specifically relates to a release mechanism and method for a deep-water visible and controllable light sediment columnar sampling system. Background Art
[0002] The main equipment for obtaining seafloor sediment samples includes column samplers, grab samplers, and multi-tube samplers. Compared with the latter two surface sediment samplers, column samplers can obtain long column samples of sediment with a longer time span and richer information records.
[0003] Existing columnar samplers can be divided into two categories according to the energy supply method: non-controllable and controllable. The former means that the sampler only relies on its own kinetic energy to penetrate into the seabed sediment, and the working process is not controlled by the device on the carrying platform; the latter means that the sampler is equipped with an auxiliary power source, and sampling can be completed through corresponding operations on the carrying platform. my country's scientific research ships are currently mainly equipped with two types of non-controllable samplers, namely valve gravity samplers and piston gravity samplers, and the sampling depth is generally short. Due to the large size and complex assembly of these two samplers, the entire sampling process requires a lot of human resources, which makes the overall operation difficult and inefficient. Moreover, these devices lack auxiliary power sources, visual and positioning components, so they cannot monitor the sampler in real time and operate accurately during the sampling process, and can only perform blind sampling. Controllable samplers mainly involve a variety of visible and controllable sediment samplers, which mainly use reciprocating tamping devices for sampling, such as the "A deep-sea pneumatic reciprocating tamping device" with a publication date of May 22, 2013 and a publication number of CN 103115792A, but this device cannot be released; for example, the "A deep-water visual and controllable ultra-long gravity piston sampling system" with a publication date of May 22, 2013 and a publication number of CN 103115798A, the device can be released, but the storage method of the release cable needs to occupy the space of the tamping hammer body, which has certain difficulty requirements on the sealing of the tamping hammer body.
[0004] In summary, the controllable columnar sampling systems developed at home and abroad have no release device under the condition that the hammer structure is relatively simple and non-hollow. In terms of the release of the outer layer of the sampler body, there is no or very little precedent for research and application in China. Summary of the invention

[0050] The release method of the release mechanism of the deep-water visual controllable light sediment columnar sampling system of the present invention is as follows: the sampler controls the communication unit 45 to detect the seabed height and bottom conditions through the altimeter 21 and the downward-looking camera 22, controls the release cylinder 27 to complete the release action, and after the release, the sampler controls the tamping action of the hammer unit 20 to complete the sampling work, and fully utilizes the kinetic energy and the deep-sea hydraulic hammer tamping dual power combination in the process. The specific steps include:
[0051] Step 1: The release mechanism is assembled before release. After the mechanism is lowered to the seabed, the shore control unit on the research vessel (the shore control unit of the present invention is a prior art) transmits the signal through the ship communication cable 1, through the communication soft cable 52 and the communication terminal 11 to the sampler control communication unit 45, observes the values of the altimeter 21 and the downward-looking camera 22, determines the bottom position and bottom quality through the altimeter 21 and the downward-looking camera 22, and transmits the signal to the shore control unit through the sampler control communication unit 45;
[0052] Step 2: According to the preset release height, after the sampler control communication unit 45 receives the release command from the shore control unit, it controls the release cylinder 27 to pull and release, and the rotating shaft 9 between the lifting hole C43 on the four-corner disk swivel 4 and the sampler body mounting seat 48 is retracted along with the release cylinder 27, completing the four-corner disk swivel 4 from the sampler body mounting seat 48;

[0057] The present invention combines the external gravity release method with the power combination of the deep-sea hydraulic hammer, that is, the sampling process includes two processes: early gravity penetration and later ramming sampling. The use of the external gravity release method greatly reduces the difficulty of manufacturing the deep-sea hydraulic hammer. The configuration of the hydraulic hammer ramming mechanism enables the sampler to complete the ultra-long, continuous, low-disturbance deep-sea sediment columnar sample collection work without significantly increasing its own weight.
