[0067] Example 2:
[0068] A deep-sea sunken target detection device is an underwater device specially designed for underwater detection of deep-sea sunken or buried targets and has a certain disposal capability. The device can rely on the mother ship for power supply and conduct long-term detection of my country's offshore and deep-sea sunken targets, thereby obtaining information on sunken targets in relevant sea areas of my country, which is of great significance to the research on information security of relevant sea areas of my country.
[0069] A novel deep-sea submerged target detection device primarily utilizes an ROV as its platform, employing an ROV chassis equipped with a crawler mechanism and an adaptive lifting jet detection arm. The ROV platform is primarily powered by hydraulic drive, and its thrusters are configured with vertical and horizontal thrusters, giving the device significant vertical and longitudinal motion power underwater. This allows it to easily navigate obstacles (such as trenches, slopes, and irregularly shaped underwater obstacles) while traveling underwater, enhancing its flexibility, maneuverability, and adaptability during underwater operations. The ROV platform incorporates the power system, optical system, and positioning and navigation systems commonly used in such devices. A manipulator is integrated into the rear of the ROV, offering wide-range handling capabilities and capabilities such as cable diameter measurement and cable cutting. The ROV chassis incorporates a lightweight underwater crawler mechanism driven by a hydraulic motor and equipped with an underwater speed feedback sensor that provides real-time feedback on the rotational speed of each crawler track, enabling the crawler track to move forward, backward, turn, and even turn in place. The ROV platform chassis also integrates an underwater adaptive lifting jet detection arm, which adopts a mechanical feedback detection method and has the function of maintaining adaptive detection arm force, which can improve the accuracy of underwater target detection.

The adaptive elevating jet detection arm is also integrated into the lower portion of the ROV chassis. This arm features high-flow underwater jetting capabilities; hydraulic cylinders for vertical and horizontal movement; adaptive force maintenance; sensing of minute force changes; and the ability to automatically generate tension curves.

The group of downward spraying nozzles 17 installed on the probe rod 15 integrate the probe arm nozzle protection sleeve 16, and the nozzles 17 are installed inside the probe arm nozzle protection sleeve 16, so as to prevent the nozzles 17 from knocking and damaging the target object during the lifting process of the probe arm 4 detecting the target object. The inclination sensor 20 is installed on the middle piece of the probe rod 15, and is used for measuring the angle during the lowering process of the probe arm 4.

An accumulator (27) is installed on the rodless cavity circuit of the oil cylinder in the hydraulic system of the adaptive lifting probe arm (4) for setting the force of the adaptive lifting probe arm (4). When the force of the adaptive lifting probe arm (4) exceeds the set value of the accumulator (27), the accumulator (27) stores energy and the adaptive lifting probe arm (4) swings upward. When the force of the adaptive lifting probe arm (4) is less than the set value of the accumulator (27), the adaptive lifting probe arm (4) returns to the initial set position. A pressure sensor (32) is installed on the rodless cavity circuit of the oil cylinder in the hydraulic system of the adaptive lifting probe arm (4) to monitor the pressure of the rodless cavity of the adaptive lifting probe arm (4) in real time.
