[0002] In the field of ocean development, the detection of underwater structures is an important part. During the preparation and long-term service of concrete members, various environmental loads and accidental loads are easy to cause the expansion and cracking of the concrete inside, accompanied by the rusting of the steel bars, which seriously affects the safety and functionality of the concrete structure.

[0003] For example, the invention patent with publication number CN119595664A uses a traditional single-beam sonar or multi-beam sonar as the main equipment for underwater detection. The sonar is carried on an underwater propeller, which can perform nondestructive testing on underwater members. However, there are some problems when it is used underwater:

[0027] The two second linear motors 150 are both installed on the rotating seat 130 and arranged in a linear shape, so that the second linear motor 150 can rotate with the rotor of the driving motor 120, so as to adjust the included angle between the second linear motor 150 and the first linear motor 140, so that the first linear motor 140 and the second linear motor 150 can be kept in parallel state when the device moves underwater, so as to reduce the resistance during the movement of the device underwater, and the first linear motor 140 and the second linear motor 150 can be kept in perpendicular state when the device detects the underwater concrete member, so that the underwater transducer 151 and the hydrophone 141 are arranged in a Mills cross array at this time.

[0028] The moving slide of each of the two second linear motors 150 is installed with an underwater transducer 151, so that the moving slide can drive the transducer 151 to slide along the length direction of the second linear motor 150, so as to adjust the position of the transducer 151 in the length direction of the second linear motor 150.

[0029] The underwater robot 200 in the embodiment adopts prior art, such as the underwater robot disclosed in the announcement No. CN209972747U, wherein a plurality of groups of thrusters are installed on the robot body, the thrusters can provide driving force in at least three directions, so as to realize control of the position and posture of the underwater robot, full-angle hovering control and movement control.

[0030] The laser ranging probe 131 in the embodiment is an underwater laser range finder of SXCJ-PI type of Hangzhou Lanke Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd.

[0037] Working principle

[0038] In the working process of the present application, the following steps are performed:

[0039] Step one, the position of the underwater transducer 151 on the second linear motor 150 and the position of the hydrophone 141 on the first linear motor 140 are adjusted according to the size of the underwater concrete member.

As shown in FIG. 4, when detecting the underwater concrete member, two transducers 151 radiate sound wave signals to a strip-shaped area on the surface of the member, and two hydrophones 141 receive echo signals of a strip-shaped area. Therefore, when the hydrophone 141 receives the echo signal of the transducer 151, there is a rectangular intersection area between the two strip-shaped areas, so that the echo signals of multiple measurement points on the entire strip can be obtained by using one-time emission of the sound wave signal.
