The power supply battery transmits signals and energy to the sensor-locking integrated processing unit 2 via the top aviation connector. Multiple bottom aviation connectors are fixedly connected to the bottom of the sensor-locking integrated processing unit 2, and the underwater sensor is connected to these connectors. The power supply battery is electrically connected to the power management circuit, which is connected to the microcontroller, switches A, B, and C, and a vibration sensor. Switch A is electrically connected to the underwater sensor. Multiple positioning rods 4 are fixedly connected to the outside of the sensor-locking integrated processing unit 2 housing. The bottom slots of the positioning frame 3 are nested around the positioning rods 4 to achieve the installation and positioning of the positioning frame 3. (Refer to...) Figure 2 The power supply battery, after being converted from 12V to 5V via BUCK, powers switch B. The 5V then goes through 5V to 12V via BOOST to power switches A and C. Finally, the 5V is stepped down to 3.3V via an LDO circuit to power the microcontroller and vibration sensor. In the power management circuit, the microcontroller controls the underwater sensor's on / off state via switch A, the communication module's on / off state via switch B, and the battery latch's pop-out via switch C.

Figure 3 The system's operating logic is as follows:
[0036] S1: Power on the system and initialize it. Turn on switch B via MCU control. At this time, start the communication module, send startup information to the host, and request system configuration information.
[0037] S2: The MCU receives the system configuration information sent by the host;
[0038] S3: The MCU determines whether the electromagnetic lock has finished cooling. If yes, it proceeds to S4; otherwise, it returns to S3.
[0039] S4: The MCU determines whether the communication module has received the Bluetooth unlock signal. If yes, the control switch C is turned on; otherwise, proceed to S5.

[0047] In S1, a startup message is sent to the host. After receiving the message, the host determines the device location, device number, and other information, and at the same time sends preset information such as the sensor wake-up time interval to the device.
[0048] In S5, it is determined whether a magnetic snap switch trigger signal has been received. After receiving the trigger signal, in order to prevent false triggering, the MCU delays for 3 seconds and then checks again in S10. If it is received, the process continues.
[0049] In S3-S7, the system checks whether electromagnetic lock unlocking is required.
[0050] In S8-S9, sensor data packets are automatically sent to the host at regular intervals, and the host can know whether the sensor is currently functioning properly through the design of flag bits;
[0051] In S10-S11, the device is detected as stolen by the vibration sensor signal; if stolen, the stolen information is sent to the host and the device’s current GPS location information is continuously sent; until the device is recovered, the device is restarted after recovery, and the stolen status is lifted after S1.
