How to efficiently and lowly collect and lift underwater target objects has always been a technical problem.

A method of raising a catch from a subsea collection system according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein, The operation steps are as follows: Step 1, when the system is deployed, the air compressor (22) continuously supplies air to the air chamber (14) at a constant rate through the pipe cable system (3); Step 2, the mechanical claw (18) grabs the collection mesh bag (13) in the mesh bag storage tank (16), and the connecting ring (137) of the collection mesh bag (13) is sleeved on the pipe cable system (3); Step 3, the mechanical claw (18) aligns the outlet of the quantitative air pump (15) with the air inlet of the air bag (138) through the mechanical hand, opens the quantitative air pump (15), and injects a certain amount of air to make the air bag (138) full; Step 4, the mechanical claw (18) moves and stretches on the control arm (17), grabs the traction rope (136), and makes the collection mesh bag (13) slide to the upper side of the storage basket (12) on the pipe cable system (3); Step 5, the electromagnetic relay of the electromagnetic oscillator (122) is started, so that the meshed bottom plate (131) of the collection mesh bag (13) is adsorbed to the electromagnetic oscillator (122), and the installation is completed; Step 6, the submarine collecting robot (1) performs collecting operation, and the target collection falls into the collection mesh bag (13) through the collecting conveying pipe (11), and the infrared sensor (123) continuously works; Step 7, when the infrared sensor (123) is shielded for a long time, the oscillation module of the electromagnetic oscillator (122) horizontally oscillates for a period of time t, so as to shake the collected target collection, and the infrared sensor (123) continuously monitors; Step 8, whether the infrared sensor (123) is shielded is determined; Step 8.1, when the infrared sensor (123) is no longer shielded, the cycle continues from step 6; Step 8.2, when the infrared sensor (123) is still continuously shielded, the submarine collecting robot (1) stops working; Step 9, the mechanical claw (18) moves to the upper of the collection net bag (13), the hook of the support sleeve rod (135) is taken off from the earring of the magnetic force support rod (133), the net bag (132) is closed under the magnetic attraction of the two magnetic force support rods (133), the mechanical claw (18) is retracted; Step 10, the electromagnetic relay of the electromagnetic oscillator (122) is closed, the collection net bag (13) and the target collection object in it are floated under the buoyancy of the air bag (138), based on the sleeve connection of the connecting ring (137) and the pipe cable system (3), the pipe cable system (3) is used as a cableway, and floats under the buoyancy; Step 11, the mechanical claw (18) enters the working cycle of step 1; at the same time, the monitoring system on the water surface support ship (2) monitors whether the collection net bag (13) full of target collection objects appears in the moon pool; Step 12, after the collection net bag (13) full of target collection objects is found, the collection mechanical claw (23) unloads the connecting ring (137) of the collection net bag (13) full of target collection objects from the pipe cable system (3), and grabs the collection net bag (13) full of target collection objects into the storage cabin (24) for storage, and the collection is completed.
