The deck unit establishes a power supply and communication link with the tow body and the intelligent winch through the cable, the tow cable and the intelligent winch.
[0037] S2: After the ship arrives at the investigation sea area, the intelligent winch is controlled through a wireless remote control terminal to collect the cable, and the tow body is lifted to a certain height above the deck (higher than the height of the stern deck fence).
[0038] S3: The L-shaped boom 6 of the intelligent winch is controlled through a wireless remote control terminal to rotate 180 degrees, and the tow body is lifted to the water surface (higher than the height of the stern deck fence).
[0039] S4: Control the intelligent winch through the wireless remote control terminal to release the cable and put the towed body into the water. The water entry depth is determined according to the investigation work requirement.
[0040] S5: Operate on the deck unit, set the profile depth range, work speed and profile quantity according to the investigation work plan.
[0041] S6: After the setting, accelerate the ship to the investigation plan speed, start the system automatic profile sampling work; the deck unit repeatedly controls the intelligent winch to complete the fast cable release and cable collection according to the release and collection speed control model.

[0045] Start the winch and send the cable release command. According to the speed control formula, send the speed instruction once every second. At the same time, according to the received temperature, conductivity and depth data, judge whether the depth reaches the set depth lower limit value in real time. After reaching, send the stop command to control the motor to slow down and brake. After the motor stops, send the cable collection command and the motor rotates in the opposite direction to collect the cable.
