Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of complex environment geological exploration and emergency geological disaster monitoring, and in particular to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) aviation seismograph. Background Art

[0002] Seismic array-based methods have developed rapidly in recent years and are widely used in global and regional studies of the Earth's internal structure, earthquake geological hazards, and oil and gas field exploration and development. Traditionally, seismic array deployment has been manual, but in harsh environments like deserts and snowy plateaus, where human living conditions and road access are limited, deployment is extremely challenging and often endangers the health and safety of personnel involved.

[0003] After a major earthquake, due to road damage and communication interruption, it is difficult for ground personnel to reach the epicenter in the first time to conduct accurate monitoring of geological disasters such as earthquake aftershocks and landslides.

[0004] Although the parachute-dropped seismometers in the existing technology replace the traditional manual ground deployment through aerial scattering, breaking through the restrictions of road traffic and construction environment, and can carry out seismic array deployment work in uninhabited areas such as deserts, Gobi, and alpine snowfields, reducing the risks of field construction, there is still a defect that the equipment is difficult to recover and the equipment dropped to the ground cannot be recovered in time.
