Therefore, it is necessary to address the specific challenges of each project by employing survey vessel systems and specialized equipment and methods. Existing measurement methods use a layback approach for positioning.

[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 This invention discloses a floating towed positioning system 1 for stratigraphic measurement of shallow sea wind farm sites, comprising a survey vessel 10, a seabed site stratigraphic profile measuring device 20, a navigation and positioning device 30, a floating towed device 40, and a power supply device 50. The survey vessel 10 floats on the water surface. The seabed site stratigraphic profile measuring device 20, the navigation and positioning device 30, and the power supply device 50 are all mounted on the survey vessel 10. The floating towed device 40 is towed to the stern of the survey vessel 10 by a rope. The survey vessel 10, the seabed site stratigraphic profile measuring device 20, and the navigation and positioning device 30 are all electrically connected to the power supply device 50. The seabed site stratigraphic profile measuring device 20 includes a seismic source 21, which is located at the bottom of the floating towed device 40. The navigation and positioning device 30 includes an antenna 31, which is located at the bottom of the floating towed device 40. At the top, antenna 31 is positioned corresponding to seismic source 21; seabed site stratigraphic profile measuring device 20 is used to measure the seabed site stratigraphic profile of the shallow sea cable and the distribution of influencing metal obstacles; navigation and positioning device 30 is used to provide spatial position for survey vessel 10 and seismic source 21, and to provide spatial position of the site stratigraphic profile for the shallow sea; power supply device 50 is used to supply power to survey vessel 10, seabed site stratigraphic profile measuring device 20 and navigation and positioning device 30; compared with traditional shallow sea site stratigraphic profile measurement and positioning methods, it can effectively complete the measurement and high-precision positioning of intertidal site stratigraphic profile, has high efficiency and intelligence and flexible operability, improves the stability and reliability of data acquisition during shallow sea seabed site stratigraphic profile measurement and high-precision positioning operations, and improves the measurement accuracy of shallow sea seabed site stratigraphic profile.

[0033] Among them, the power supply device 50 adopts a fast-charging mobile power supply with a power of more than 2000W, which eliminates the noise of the survey environment compared to the generator.

[0034] Specifically, the floating towed positioning system 1 for strata measurement at shallow sea wind farm sites can be used by small survey vessels in shallow seas of sea state 4 and below to conduct surveys of wind power routes and substation wind farm sites. It keeps the strata positioning of wind power routes and substation wind farm sites stable, with the positioning accuracy of the seabed strata within ±20cm, thereby improving the quality of strata positioning measurement data and enhancing the technical level.

[0035] The survey vessel 10 has a length greater than 10m, a width greater than 5m, and a draft less than 1m. Antenna 31 is installed at the top of the floating towing device 40, and the seismic source 21 is installed at the bottom of the floating towing device 40. Antenna 31 is located directly above the seismic source 21. There is no deviation between antenna 31 and seismic source 21 in the X and Y directions, therefore, no layback (distance) correction is required.

[0036] For example, the seabed site stratigraphic profile measuring device 20 adopts the G-882 marine magnetic system, which facilitates rapid installation and deployment of the equipment.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the seabed site stratigraphic profile measuring device 20 also includes a deck unit and a hydrophone. Both the seismic source 21 and the hydrophone are wired to the deck unit, which is placed in the engine room of the survey vessel 10. The seismic source 21 is connected to the deck unit via a first cable and is connected to the first winch of the survey vessel 10 via the first cable. The seismic source 21 is towed at the stern of the survey vessel 10. The hydrophone is connected to the deck unit via a second cable and is connected to the second winch of the survey vessel 10 via the second cable. The hydrophone is towed at the stern of the survey vessel 10.

[0038] The hydrophone is positioned opposite the seismic source 21. The seismic source 21 is connected to one end of the first cable, and the other end of the first cable is connected to the deck unit via the first winch. The hydrophone is connected to one end of the second cable, and the other end of the second cable is connected to the deck unit via the second winch.

[0039] During use, both the seismic source 21 and the hydrophone are located in the water. The seismic source 21 is used to transmit sound wave signals, and the hydrophone is used to receive sound wave signals. The seismic source 21 transmits the collected sound wave signals to the hydrophone through the deck unit. The hydrophone converts the received sound wave signals into electrical signals and transmits the electrical signals to the deck unit. The deck unit converts and processes the received electrical signals to obtain the seabed site stratigraphic profile data of the shallow sea cable.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the navigation and positioning device 30 also includes a third cable and a receiver. The receiver is placed inside the engine room of the survey vessel 10, and the antenna 31 is connected to the receiver via the third cable.

[0041] For example, the navigation and positioning device 30 may use the BeiDou satellite navigation system; of course, the navigation and positioning device 30 may also use the GPS global positioning system.

[0042] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the floating towing device 40 includes two barrel-shaped floats 41, a bracket 42, a flange 43, and a connecting rod 44. The two barrel-shaped floats 41 are arranged opposite each other and connected by the bracket 42. The top end of the connecting rod 44 is connected to the bottom end of the bracket 42 through the flange 43. The bottom end of the connecting rod 44 is connected to the seismic source 21. The antenna 31 is connected to the flange 43 through a support rod 45. The bottom end of the support rod 45 is connected to the top end of the bracket 42 through the flange 43. The top end of the support rod 45 is connected to the antenna 31. The antenna 31 is correspondingly arranged with the seismic source 21. The bracket 42 is towed to the stern of the survey vessel 10 by a rope.

[0043] Specifically, the center line of the connecting rod 44 is set parallel to the center line of the support rod 45. In some feasible ways, the center line of the connecting rod 44 is set collinear with the center line of the support rod 45.

[0044] The support rod 45 is longer than 2m, which avoids interference from the survey vessel 10 and the floating towing device 40, and ensures that the positioning accuracy meets the measurement specifications.

[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bracket 42 is H-shaped.

[0046] The bracket 42 includes a first mounting rod 421 and two second mounting rods 422. The two second mounting rods 422 are spaced apart. The first mounting rod 421 is located between the two second mounting rods 422. The first mounting rod 421 and the two second mounting rods 422 together form an I-shape. The opposite ends of the second mounting rods 422 are respectively connected to two barrel-shaped floats 41. The first mounting rod 421 is located between the two barrel-shaped floats 41.

[0047] Specifically, the centerline of the first mounting rod 421 is perpendicular to the centerline of the second mounting rod 422. The flange 43 is located at the middle of the first mounting rod 421 extending along its centerline. The top end of the connecting rod 44 is connected to the bottom end of the first mounting rod 421 through the flange 43, and the bottom end of the support rod 45 is connected to the top end of the first mounting rod 421 through the flange 43.

[0048] by Figure 2 Taking the orientation shown as an example, a connecting ring 423 is provided on the side of the second mounting rod 422 located at the top, away from the first mounting rod 421. One end of the rope is connected to the connecting ring 423, and the other end of the rope is connected to the stern of the survey vessel 10.

[0049] Continue to refer to Figure 4 Another embodiment provides a measurement method for the floating towed positioning system 1 for geological surveying of shallow sea wind farm sites as described above, including the following steps:

[0050] S1. Analyze basic data on wind, waves, currents, and fishery activities in the shallow sea wind power working area.

[0051] S2. Install a floating positioning system for geological surveying at shallow sea wind farm sites.

[0052] Specifically, the seabed site stratigraphic profile measuring device 20, navigation and positioning device 30, and power supply device 50 are mounted on the survey vessel 10, and the floating towing device 40 is towed to the stern of the survey vessel 10 by a rope, so as to form a shallow sea wind farm site stratigraphic measurement floating towing positioning system 1.

[0053] S3. Conduct navigation tests on the survey vessel 10.

[0054] Test content: The survey vessel 10 maintains a yaw distance of ±1m at a speed of 4 knots or less;

[0055] Test standard: The yaw rate of the investigated vessel 10 is within ±1m when the current direction is different.

[0056] 1) Install the antenna 31 of the navigation and positioning device 30 (DGPS) at the center of the floating towing device 40, which is directly above the source 21.

[0057] Specifically, the antenna 31 is mounted on the top of the first mounting rod 421 via the support rod 45, and the antenna 31 is set in correspondence with the vibration source 21.

[0058] 2) Activate the navigation and positioning device 30 for navigation and record the marked trajectory.

[0059] 3) Arrange east-west and north-south survey lines in the routing area. The east-west survey lines are 200m long and spaced 15m apart, for a total of 3 lines. The north-south survey lines are 200m long and spaced 15m apart, for a total of 3 lines.

[0060] 4) The navigation software in the navigation and positioning device 30 directs the captain to run the survey line at a speed of 2-4 knots while maintaining a yaw distance of ±1m.

[0061] 5) Analyze the offset of each survey line and issue a comparison report.

[0062] S4. Conduct data quality testing on the seabed site stratigraphic profile measuring device 20.

[0063] Test content: Adjust the seismic source 21 and hydrophone cable length of the seabed site stratigraphic profile measuring device 20 to ensure that the positioning is accurate and without deviation from the site stratigraphic profile.

[0064] Completion criteria: The seismic source 21 and hydrophone of the seabed site stratigraphic profile measuring device 20 are towed to the stern of the survey vessel 10 and will not affect the background of the site stratigraphic profile.

[0065] 1) Determine a flat test area based on the stratigraphic profile of the water depth site.

[0066] 2) By controlling the winch of the survey vessel 10, adjusting the cable length of the seismic source 21 and the hydrophone, the deviation range of the positioning (i.e. the measurement position of the strata) from the site stratum profile is determined, and at the same time, the stability of the seismic source 21 under the floating towing device 40 during the navigation of the survey vessel 10 is tested.

[0067] 3) Test whether the data from the seabed site stratigraphic profile measuring device 20 is normal.

[0068] S5. Lay out the survey lines.

[0069] Specifically, the survey lines are laid out in parallel with a 1:2000 scale, with a spacing of 20m between the survey lines.

[0070] S6. The seabed site stratigraphic profile measuring device 20 is used to measure and test the site stratigraphic profile and the distribution of obstacles.

[0071] Underway survey: After the seismic source 21 of the seabed site stratigraphic profile measuring device 20 and the floating towing device 40 enter the water, the survey vessel 10 should maintain a speed of 2-4 knots to avoid stopping or reversing.

[0072] Before the formal measurement operation, the navigation and positioning device 30 was connected and debugged. Different energy levels, excitation frequencies, and measurement ranges were selected to measure and test the site strata profile and the distribution of obstacles.

[0073] S7. After the measurement is completed, check the full coverage and data quality of the seabed site stratigraphic profile measuring device 20 in the SonarWiz software to check the integrity of the data.

[0074] S8. Process and analyze the collected site stratigraphic profile data.

[0075] Specifically, the site stratigraphic profile data collected by the seabed site stratigraphic profile measuring device 20 is processed to remove interference signals on the profile, so as to achieve the best display effect and analyze the site stratigraphic profile and the distribution of obstacles.

[0076] S9. Compile the stratigraphic profile of the seabed site and the distribution map of obstacles, and write a technical report on the results.

[0077] By adopting the measurement method of the floating towed positioning system 1 for stratigraphic measurement of shallow sea wind farm sites, researchers engaged in stratigraphic profile measurement and high-precision positioning of shallow sea wind farm sites have a clear method to follow. Compared with traditional methods for stratigraphic profile measurement and positioning of shallow sea sites, this measurement method is scientific and can easily measure the stratigraphic profile of the site between the wind turbine and the booster station, and between the booster station and the land terminal within a water depth of 15 meters. The measurement process is standardized and the measurement results are accurate and reliable, providing a new standard for stratigraphic profile measurement and high-precision positioning operations of shallow sea wind farm sites.

At the bottom of the towing device 40, the navigation and positioning device 30 includes an antenna 31, which is set at the top of the floating towing device 40 and is correspondingly set with the seismic source 21. The measurement process is as follows: working condition analysis - equipment installation - underway test - data quality test of the seabed site stratigraphic profile measurement device 20 - survey line layout - underway measurement - data integrity check - site stratigraphic profile data processing and analysis - map and report compilation.
