[0028] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with specific embodiments, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0029] Implementation method 1: Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 5, the dehooker with precise delivery function comprises a shell 1, a hook body 2 arranged at the front end of the shell 1, and a driving mechanism 3 arranged inside the shell 1, wherein a control box 4 is arranged on one side of the rear portion of the shell 1, a control mechanism 5 is arranged inside the control box 4, and a positioning mechanism 6 is arranged outside the control box 4, the input end of the control mechanism 5 is serially connected to the positioning mechanism 6, and the output end of the control mechanism 5 is electrically connected to the driving mechanism 3, and the driving mechanism is mechanically connected to the hook body 2 by mechanical transmission; the control mechanism 5 comprises a main control board 51, a single-chip processor 52, a wireless transceiver module 53, a pulse signal receiving circuit module 54, a channel switch module 55, a storage module 56, and a power conversion module 57 integrated on the main control board 51; the positioning mechanism 6 comprises a GPS locator 61, a speed sensor 62, a current meter 63 and a radar position sensor 64. Specifically, as for the selection of functional component models, the single-chip microcomputer processor 52 adopts the STM32F series 103C8T6 chip, the wireless transceiver module 53 adopts the SX1278 433MHz RF data transmission module in the form of LoRa wireless communication, the pulse signal receiving circuit module 54 adopts the integrated RX-TP-L4 pulse signal receiving integrated circuit module, and the channel switch module 55 adopts the AD9854 multi-channel DDS switching module; the GPS locator 61 adopts the SPS855 ocean locator, the speed sensor 62 adopts the WTGAHRS3 six-axis inertial speed sensor, the current meter 63 adopts the BES--PSC30F-S04 flow velocity and direction sensor, and the radar position sensor 64 adopts the TOF-N10 deep-water level radar probe.
