In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0027] The present application embodiment provides a device for deploying ocean detection equipment, such as Figure 1As shown, the marine detection equipment deployment device includes a housing assembly 200, a support mechanism 300 and an angle adjustment mechanism 400. The housing assembly 200 is used to accommodate the support mechanism 300 and the angle adjustment mechanism 400. The sensor is placed on the support mechanism 300. The support mechanism 300 pushes the sensor out of the housing assembly 200 and penetrates the formation to achieve the deployment of the sensor. The angle adjustment mechanism 400 adjusts the angle of the support mechanism 300 so that the sensor is adjusted to a preset direction, ensuring the multi-directional deployment of the sensor, realizing the multi-directional detection of the formation space, providing more abundant and accurate seabed geological information, and facilitating the safe exploitation of natural gas hydrates.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the sensor involved in the present application includes a plurality of sensor short sections 100, the head and tail of two sensor short sections 100 are connected to each other through a conical structure at the end and a concave structure of a corresponding shape, and the sensor short sections 100 transmit signals by a flexible cable. Among them, the monitoring parameters of each sensor short section 100 are different, and the monitoring parameters include temperature, pressure, humidity, etc.

[0029] Furthermore, after each sensor pup section 100 penetrates the stratum, the optical cable of the outermost sensor pup section 100 is used to complete data transmission, thereby realizing the monitoring process.

[0030] In some examples, the supporting mechanism 300 and the angle adjustment mechanism 400 are located inside the housing assembly 200 , and the housing assembly 200 can protect the supporting mechanism 300 and the angle adjustment mechanism 400 .

[0031] Furthermore, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the housing assembly 200 includes a housing body 201, which is hollow and has a plurality of compartments separated from each other. Specifically, there are two compartments inside the housing body 201, namely a first compartment 2011 and a second compartment 2012.

[0032] Among them, the second compartment 2012 and the first compartment 2011 are distributed up and down, and the second compartment 2012 is at the top of the first compartment 2011, then the bottom wall of the first compartment 2011 corresponds to the bottom of the casing body 201, and the top wall of the second compartment 2012 corresponds to the top of the casing body 201. The support mechanism 300 and the angle adjustment mechanism 400 are in the first compartment 2011, and the second compartment 2012 is used to contain soluble substances. The soluble substances have a certain weight and serve as a counterweight for the marine detection equipment deployment device. It can be understood that during the sinking process of the marine detection equipment deployment device, the increased weight of the soluble substances is conducive to the sinking process of the device and improves the sinking efficiency.

[0033] At the same time, the second chamber 2012 is provided with a fluid channel 202, and the fluid channel 202 is formed as a hole structure that penetrates the side wall of the second chamber 2012. When the ocean detection equipment deployment device sinks to the target position, liquids such as seawater in the external environment enter the second chamber 2012 along the fluid channel 202, and soluble substances are dissolved in the liquid and taken away from the second chamber 2012 by the liquid, thereby reducing the overall weight of the ocean detection equipment deployment device. It can be understood that the reduction in the weight of the ocean detection equipment deployment device is conducive to the recovery of the device above the liquid surface of the water body.

[0034] Specifically, the soluble substance can be table salt. Table salt has a certain density and can significantly increase the weight of the marine detection equipment deployment device within a limited space, which is beneficial to the sinking of the device. Table salt dissolved in seawater will not cause a significant impact on the marine environment. In addition, the soluble substance can also be iron fertilizer. The density of iron fertilizer is greater than that of table salt, so the effect of increasing the weight of the marine detection equipment deployment device is more obvious. Iron fertilizer dissolved in seawater is beneficial to the maintenance of the marine ecological environment.

[0035] In some examples, the top wall of the second chamber 2012 is provided with a hatch 203, which can open or close the second chamber 2012 to facilitate the addition of soluble substances. The hatch 203 is provided with a hoisting structure 204 and a wiring structure 205, wherein the hoisting structure 204 is provided with a hoisting hole for connecting a cable to facilitate the hoisting process of the marine detection equipment deployment device; the wiring structure 205 is used to connect transmission components such as cables to facilitate the transmission process of power and information of the marine detection equipment deployment device.

[0036] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the first chamber 2011 is provided with a conical tip, which extends to the outside of the first chamber 2011. When the marine detection equipment deployment device sinks to a preset position, the tip is convenient for breaking through the stratum, which is conducive to the insertion of the entire device, thereby stabilizing the position of the marine detection equipment deployment device underwater.

[0037] In some examples, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the housing assembly 200 further includes a sleeve component 206 , which is formed into a cylindrical structure and sleeved on the outside of the housing body 201 .

[0038] The sleeve component 206 is slidably connected to the housing body 201 and can move along the axial direction of the housing body 201. As the sleeve component 206 moves, the sleeve component 206 can block or open the fluid channel 202. When the sleeve component 206 blocks the fluid channel 202, the fluid channel 202 is in a blocked state to prevent external liquid from flowing into the second chamber 2012; when the sleeve component 206 opens the fluid channel 202, the fluid channel 202 is in an open state to facilitate external liquid to flow into the second chamber 2012.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to ensure the sliding connection process between the sleeve component 206 and the housing body 201, a guide assembly is provided between the sleeve component 206 and the housing body 201. The guide assembly includes a slide rail 207 and a recessed portion 208. The slide rail 207 protrudes from the outer wall of the housing body 201 and extends along the axial direction of the housing body 201. The recessed portion 208 is located on the inner wall of the sleeve component 206. The slide rail 207 and the recessed portion 208 are engaged with each other and form a sliding connection. Then, the sleeve component 206 slides along the slide rail 207, thereby changing the height of the sleeve component 206 relative to the housing body 201.

[0040] In some examples, in order to facilitate the sensor short section 100 to push out the housing assembly 200, the side wall of the first chamber 2011 includes a plurality of columns 209, each column 209 is arranged at intervals, and the area between each column 209 is formed as a hollow portion, and the sensor short section 100 pushes out the housing assembly 200 along the hollow portion, and then penetrates into the formation. At the same time, the mutually spaced columns 209 can also prevent some marine organisms from entering the first chamber 2011, and prevent the marine organisms from damaging the support mechanism 300 and the angle adjustment mechanism 400 inside the first chamber 2011.

[0041] Furthermore, before the sinking process of the marine detection equipment deployment device, the sleeve component 206 slides and covers the periphery of the second compartment 2012 to block the fluid channel 202, prevent liquid from entering the second compartment 2012, ensure that the marine detection equipment deployment device always has a large weight during the sinking process, and also facilitate the sensor short section 100 to penetrate into the formation through the hollow part; after the marine detection equipment deployment device sinks to the target position and the sensor short section 100 penetrates into the formation, the sleeve component 206 slides and covers the periphery of the first compartment 2011 to open the fluid channel 202, so as to facilitate liquid to enter the second compartment 2012, so as to reduce the overall weight of the marine detection equipment deployment device. At the same time, the sleeve component 206 covers the hollow parts of the side wall of the first compartment 2011, so as to isolate the first compartment 2011 from the external environment, thereby protecting the support mechanism 300 and the angle adjustment mechanism 400 in the first compartment 2011.

[0042] In some examples, such as Figure 4As shown, the bottom wall of the second chamber 2012 is formed into a cone, and the tip of the cone bottom wall protrudes toward the hatch cover 203. At the same time, the fluid channel 202 is located at a relatively small height within the second chamber 2012, and the soluble substance has a tendency to slide down along the cone bottom wall, thereby moving toward a position close to the fluid channel 202, thereby avoiding the residue of the soluble substance as much as possible.

[0043] In some examples, such as Figure 6 As shown, the support mechanism 300 is used to place the sensor short section 100, and the support mechanism 300 is located inside the housing body 201. The support mechanism 300 includes a pushing assembly, which can receive the sensor short section 100 and push the sensor short section 100 along the hollow portion, and finally penetrate into the formation.

[0044] In some examples, such as Figure 7 As shown, the pushing assembly includes a plurality of pushing components 301, specifically, two pushing components 301 are provided. There is a gap between the two pushing components 301, and the gap is used to receive and temporarily accommodate the sensor short section 100. The two pushing components 301 can rotate, and the rotation directions are opposite. Since the pushing components 301 are in contact with the sensor short section 100, there is a certain friction between the two. When the pushing components 301 rotate, the two pushing components 301 will drive the sensor short section 100 to move, thereby pushing the sensor short section 100 out, and causing the sensor short section 100 to penetrate into the formation. Specifically, the pushing components 301 are formed as friction wheels.

[0045] Furthermore, the support mechanism 300 further includes a storage tank 302 and a launch tube, wherein the storage tank 302 is used to store the sensor short section 100. The middle section of the launch tube is provided with an open loading area, the sensor outlet of the storage tank 302 is connected to the loading area, and the position of the loading area is the position of the gap between the two pushing components 301.

[0046] During operation, the sensor subsection 100 is guided from the storage compartment 302 to the loading area, that is, located in the gap between the two pushing components 301. As the pushing components 301 rotate, the sensor subsection 100 moves along the launch tube under the action of friction and is pushed out of the launch tube.

[0047] In addition, a notch is provided at the edge of the pushing component 301. The notch exists on the end face of the pushing component 301 facing the storage compartment 302. The notch is used to guide the sensor short section 100 to the gap between the two pushing components 301 and avoid the path for the sensor short section 100 to enter the gap between the two pushing components 301, thereby ensuring that the sensor short section 100 is loaded in place.

[0048] In some examples, such as Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the angle adjustment mechanism 400 is disposed inside the housing assembly 200, and the angle adjustment mechanism 400 is used to adjust the angle of the support mechanism 300. Since the sensor short section 100 is placed on the support mechanism 300, the sensor short section 100 is adjusted to a preset direction during this process. It can be understood that the support mechanism 300 is connected to the housing assembly 200 through the angle adjustment mechanism 400.

[0049] It is worth noting that the angle adjustment mechanism 400 can jointly adjust the angle of the support mechanism 300 in multiple degrees of freedom, so that the sensor short section 100 can be adjusted to any preset direction, not limited to vertical placement, and then the housing assembly 200 can be pushed out.

[0050] In some examples, such as Figure 8 As shown, the angle adjustment mechanism 400 includes a base 401 and a first angle adjustment component. The base 401 is formed into a ring structure with a hollow portion.

[0051] Meanwhile, the support mechanism 300 also includes a workbench 303, which is used to place the sensor. It can be understood that each push component 301 is rotatably connected to the workbench 303 and is approximately parallel to the workbench 303; the launch tube is arranged on the workbench 303 and extends linearly on the surface of the workbench 303; the storage tank 302 is also connected to the workbench 303 and stands upright on the workbench 303. In addition, the workbench 303 and the angle adjustment mechanism 400 are distributed up and down, and the workbench 303 is at the top of the angle adjustment mechanism 400, that is, the support mechanism 300 is at the top of the angle adjustment mechanism 400.

[0052] Furthermore, the first angle adjustment assembly connects the workbench 303 and the base 401. Under the action of the first angle adjustment assembly, the workbench 303 forms a rotational connection with the base 401. As the workbench 303 rotates relative to the base 401, the orientation of the transmitting tube fixed on the workbench 303 also changes, thereby adjusting the orientation of the sensor sub 100.

[0053] In some examples, the first angle adjustment assembly includes a first drive assembly and a transmission bracket 404, and the transmission bracket 404 is slidably connected to the base 401 on one hand, and fixedly connected to the workbench 303 on the other hand. Specifically, the inner wall of the base 401 is provided with a guide rail, and the guide rail surrounds the base 401 approximately, and the transmission bracket 404 includes an upper part and a lower part connected to each other, and the upper part and the lower part clamp the guide rail to form a sliding connection. It can be understood that the upper part extends in the direction of the workbench 303 and is connected to the workbench 303.

[0054] Furthermore, both the upper part and the lower part extend to the outside of the base 401, and are connected to the first drive assembly in a clamping manner at the periphery of the base 401. The first drive assembly includes a first driver 402 and a first transmission component 403. Specifically, the first driver 402 uses a motor, the first transmission component 403 uses a gear, the base 401 is formed into a circular ring structure, and the outer wall of the base 401 is provided with gear teeth meshing with the first transmission component 403.

[0055] During operation, the first driver 402 drives the first transmission component 403 to rotate. As the gears cooperate, the first transmission component 403 rotates around the edge of the base 401, thereby driving the transmission bracket 404 to rotate around the base 401. During this process, the workbench 303 also rotates around the base 401, thereby changing the orientation of the sensor short section 100, and in this way, the angle adjustment of the first degree of freedom is completed.

[0056] In some examples, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the angle adjustment mechanism 400 also includes a second angle adjustment component, which is used to connect the housing body 201 and the base 401. The second angle adjustment component includes a transmission shaft 406 and a second driver 405. Specifically, the second driver 405 uses a motor, and the transmission shaft 406 is formed as a rod-shaped structure, and the transmission shaft 406 has a certain length. When the housing body 201 is kept in a vertical state, the transmission shaft 406 is kept in a horizontal state.

[0057] Furthermore, the second driver 405 is connected to the inner wall of the housing body 201, and the transmission shaft 406 is connected to the output end of the second driver 405 and is used to connect to the base 401. The transmission shaft 406 is used to transmit the torque of the second driver 405 on the one hand, and to support the base 401 and the components carried by the base 401 on the other hand. The second driver 405 drives the transmission shaft 406 to rotate, and drives the base 401 to rotate around the transmission shaft 406. As the base 401 rotates, the transmission bracket 404 and the workbench 303 also change their angles, and in this way, the angle adjustment of the second degree of freedom is completed.

[0058] In some examples, such as Fig. 9As shown, the angle adjustment mechanism 400 further includes a bearing bracket 407 and a third angle adjustment component, and the bearing bracket 407 is located in the hollow part of the base 401. The transmission shaft 406 is connected to the bearing bracket 407, and the transmission shaft 406 is connected to the base 401 through the bearing bracket 407. Since the position of the transmission shaft 406 is stable, during the angle adjustment process of the third degree of freedom, the base 401 will rotate relative to the transmission shaft 406. In order to avoid interference between the transmission shaft 406 and the base 401, the base 401 is provided with an avoidance opening, which corresponds to the position of the transmission shaft 406 and avoids the space for the transmission shaft 406 to pass through.

[0059] Furthermore, the third angle adjustment component is disposed on the supporting bracket 407 , and the supporting bracket 407 is rotatably connected to the base 401 via the third angle adjustment component, so as to adjust the angle of the base 401 .

[0060] In some examples, the third angle adjustment component includes a third drive component and a second transmission component 410, wherein a force axis 411 is fixedly connected to the hollow portion of the base 401, and the force axis 411 is formed as a rod-shaped structure. Both ends of the force axis 411 are respectively fixedly connected to opposite sides of the inner wall of the base 401, so that the extension path of the force axis 411 passes through the center position of the base 401.

[0061] Furthermore, two parallel arms are provided on opposite sides of the support bracket 407, and the two arms are connected to each other, so that the support bracket 407 forms a "U"-shaped structure. The force axis 411 passes through the two arms of the support bracket 407 and forms a rotation connection.

[0062] At the same time, the second transmission component 410 is fixedly connected to the force shaft 411 and is located between the two arms, so the force shaft 411, the second transmission component 410 and the base 401 together form a moving whole. The third drive assembly is connected between the two arms and is in transmission connection with the second transmission component 410. Specifically, the third driver 408 uses a motor, the second transmission component 410 uses a gear, and the third transmission component 409 also uses a gear, and the second transmission component 410 and the third transmission component 409 form a gear set.

[0063] During operation, the third driver 408 drives the third transmission component 409 to rotate, and drives the second transmission component 410 to rotate. The second transmission component 410 then drives the base 401 and the workbench 303 to rotate around the force axis 411, thereby completing the angle adjustment of the third degree of freedom.

[0064] Based on the above-mentioned ocean detection equipment deployment device, various embodiments of the detection equipment deployment method of the present invention are proposed below.

[0065] like Fig.10 As shown, Fig.10It is a flow chart of a detection equipment deployment method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The detection equipment deployment method can be applied to the above-mentioned marine detection equipment deployment device. The detection equipment deployment method includes but is not limited to step s110, step s120, step s130 and step s140.

[0066] Step s110, loading soluble substances into the ocean exploration equipment deployment device, releasing the device from the operating vessel by gravity, and allowing the device to penetrate into the reservoir in the resource area.

[0067] In some examples, the ocean detection equipment deployment device needs to be loaded with soluble substances before the sinking process. First, the hatch cover 203 is opened, and the soluble substances are loaded through the top opening of the second chamber 2012; after the loading is completed, the hatch cover 203 needs to be tightly closed to prevent liquid from seeping in through the hatch cover 203.

[0068] Furthermore, after the soluble material is loaded, the cable connects the hoisting structure 204 to the hoisting equipment on the operating vessel, and the ocean detection equipment deployment device is gravity-released from the operating vessel through the cable. Since the ocean detection equipment deployment device is loaded with soluble material for counterweight, the sinking efficiency of the ocean detection equipment deployment device can be improved. When the ocean detection equipment deployment device sinks to the target position, the tip of the bottom of the ocean detection equipment deployment device is inserted into the reservoir of the resource area to complete the underwater positioning of the device.

[0069] In step s120 , the workboat issues a control command to drive the angle adjustment mechanism 400 to perform a comprehensive movement to adjust the angle of the support mechanism 300 .

[0070] In some examples, the work vessel sends a control instruction to the ocean detection equipment deployment device, and the control instruction includes a preset deployment direction of the sensor pup section 100 .

[0071] Among them, when the ocean detection equipment deployment device receives the instruction, the first driver 402 drives the first transmission component 403 to rotate, and the first transmission component 403 rotates around the edge of the base 401, thereby driving the transmission bracket 404 and the workbench 303 to rotate around the base 401, and realizing the angle adjustment of the first degree of freedom. The second driver 405 drives the transmission shaft 406 to rotate, and drives the base 401 and the workbench 303 to rotate around the transmission shaft 406, and realizes the angle adjustment of the second degree of freedom. The third driver 408 drives the third transmission component 409 to rotate, and drives the second transmission component 410 to rotate, and the second transmission component 410 then drives the base 401 and the workbench 303 to rotate around the force axis 411, and realizes the angle adjustment of the third degree of freedom.

[0072] It can be understood that, under the combined angle adjustment of three degrees of freedom, the sensor pup section 100 can be adjusted to any preset deployment direction to improve monitoring accuracy.

[0073] Step s130, the pushing component pushes out the sensor so that the sensor penetrates into the formation at a preset angle.

[0074] In some examples, after the sensor sub 100 is adjusted to a preset direction, the pushing assembly pushes the sensor sub 100 out of the launch tube through friction, passes through the housing assembly 200 to reach the formation, and finally penetrates the formation at any preset angle.

[0075] Step s140, after the operation is completed, the liquid in the environment contacts the soluble substance and the ocean detection equipment deployment device is recovered.

[0076] In some examples, when the operation is completed, the marine detection equipment deployment device needs to be recovered, and the sleeve component 206 slides on the housing body 201 to avoid the fluid channel 202. The liquid in the surrounding environment automatically enters the second chamber 2012 along the fluid channel 202 according to the hydraulic pressure. In the second chamber 2012, the soluble substance dissolves in the liquid and is taken away from the second chamber 2012, thereby reducing the overall weight of the marine detection equipment deployment device, making it easier to tow the device underwater to above the liquid surface.

[0077] In some selectable embodiments, the function / operation mentioned in the block diagram may not occur in the order mentioned in the operation diagram. For example, depending on the function / operation involved, the two boxes shown in succession can actually be executed substantially simultaneously or the boxes can sometimes be executed in reverse order. In addition, the embodiment presented and described in the flow chart of the application is provided by way of example, for the purpose of providing a more comprehensive understanding of technology. The disclosed method is not limited to the operation and logic flow presented herein.

Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present application. In addition, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
