If marine surveying and mapping is not included in surveying and mapping science, then in terms of the discipline system, surveying and mapping science is incomplete. Discovering underwater obstacles to ensure the safe navigation of ships. Secondly, when a ship is sailing along the coast, if it is impossible to determine the ship's position by a relatively accurate method, then the approximate ship's position can be obtained by observing the bearing of a certain object and the water depth measured at that time.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the anti-collision assembly includes a mounting plate. A mounting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the winding belt. Mounting grooves are fixedly installed at the tops of the two mounting plates. Connecting rods are fixedly installed inside the two mounting grooves.

[0015] 1. After installing the winding assembly, start the drive motor, which drives the movable rotating rod to rotate, and the movable rotating rod drives the winding rod to rotate. The winding rod extends the winding belt into the ocean, eliminating the need for manual winding by staff, making it more convenient to use.

[0016] 2. By installing the anti-collision component, an impact force is applied to the surface of the anti-collision plate. The anti-collision plate drives the connecting bar downward, and the connecting bar will hit the sliding block to slide above the connecting rod. The sliding block uses the spring elasticity at both ends to buffer the pressure, which can better protect the depth sounder and prevent it from being damaged by a huge collision.

[0017] 3. Through the installation of the depth sounding component, the interior of the transducer emits ultrasonic waves to map the interior of the ocean. The piezoelectric effect of the piezoelectric ceramic with the same resonant frequency as the piezoelectric piece is used, and the conductive column converts the electrical energy into mechanical vibration. Usually, the ultrasonic generator generates ultrasonic waves, which are converted into mechanical vibrations by the ultrasonic transducer. Ultrasonic waves are then generated by the ultrasonic derivation device and the ultrasonic receiving device. The signal cable transmits the information to the interior of the controller, making the depth sounder's ocean mapping effect better. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] With the above structure: Start the driving motor 42. The driving motor 42 drives the threaded rod 43 to rotate. The positioning nut 44 is adjusted above the threaded rod 43 and extends out to the position where sounding is required, facilitating the adjustment of the position where the transducer 71 conducts surveying and mapping.

[0032] Furthermore, the winding component 5 includes a servo motor 51. The servo motor 51 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the C-shaped plate 45.

The connecting bar 66 will hit the sliding block 64 to slide above the connecting rod 63.
