[0002] The hollow ramming hammer is a commonly used device in engineering construction and geological exploration. The hammer head is driven by liquid to rapidly impact and drop, generating impact force. The impact force is transmitted to the sampling pipe, so that the sampling pipe drills into the seabed. Through sampling, information of the seabed ground or foundation engineering work is obtained. Therefore, the traditional device is not perfect. There is no facility for preventing rebound of the hollow ramming hammer during work and guiding and limiting the hollow ramming hammer. The hollow ramming hammer is easy to deviate during rebounding. The sampling position deviates. The hollow ramming hammer for seabed structure sampling and detection and the operation method thereof can provide convenience for workers.

[0003] The existing hollow ramming hammer has the following defects:

[0004] 1. US8994527B2 discloses a seabed sampling device and method. The disclosed seabed sampling device and method mainly consider how to make the device simple and relatively small in size, and reduce the manufacturing and exploration cost. The problem of conveniently supporting and limiting the hollow ramming hammer is not considered, which reduces the stability of the sampling process.

[0005] 2. US7690252B2 discloses a seabed sampler. The disclosed seabed sampler mainly considers how to be used for rising and falling in the liquid in the box and for measuring the fluid depth at the seabed sampler position. The problem of conveniently adjusting the position on the seabed is not considered, which reduces the precision of the collection position.

[0006] 3. CN105064363A discloses a deep-sea underwater powerful hammer. The disclosed seabed sampler mainly considers that a fully enclosed shell is adopted, which can realize impact operation in deep-sea underwater. The function is relatively single. The seabed structure sampling is generally only matched with the deep-sea seabed structure sampling to increase the sampling depth. The problem of cleaning the seabed surface of the sampling position is not considered, which reduces the sampling standard.

[0007] 4. CN108844768A discloses a deep-sea ramming hammer with built-in pullable bidirectional buffer. The disclosed deep-sea ramming hammer with built-in pullable bidirectional buffer mainly considers how to adopt a fully enclosed shell to improve the durability and the convenience of maintenance. The problem of conveniently understanding the depth of the sampling pipe into the seabed is not considered, which reduces the practicality. SUMMARY
