Measuring this first time delay provides a basis for subsequent calculations of the distance between underwater objects and the sonar devices. In the underwater environment, various objects may exist, generating numerous echoes. By selecting the echo corresponding to the mooring mooring as the target echo, interference from other irrelevant objects is eliminated, improving the accuracy and specificity of positioning and avoiding positioning errors caused by echoes from other objects. In-depth analysis of the target echo, combined with previously determined time delay information, utilizes the principles and algorithms of sonar detection to calculate the mooring mooring's specific underwater position, providing a basis for comparison with the designed position. By comparing the current position of the mooring mooring with the designed position, the deviation can be identified, providing direction for subsequent adjustment measures, reducing the deviation between the mooring mooring deployment position and the designed position, and ensuring the accuracy of floating buoy mooring deployment.

The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0062] First embodiment:
[0063] Combination Figure 1 A method for positioning a floating beacon mooring includes the following steps:
