[0030] According to the automatic wire-reeling and wire-releasing system of the embodiment of the present application, Figure 1As shown, it includes: a control module 14, a wire-retracting device, a wire-length detection module and a shell 1. The wire-retracting device includes a driving mechanism and a cable 21. The control module 14 is electrically connected to the driving mechanism for controlling the operation of the driving mechanism. The driving mechanism drives the connecting cable 21 for retracting and releasing the cable 21. A wire outlet is provided on the shell 1. The wire-retracting device and the wire-length detection module are both arranged in the shell 1. One end of the cable 21 extends out of the wire outlet and is electrically and fixedly connected to the underwater detection device 34. The wire length detection module is used to detect the retracted and released length of the cable 21. The wire length detection module is communicatively connected to the control module 14.

[0031] In this embodiment, the control module 14 controls the wire retracting and releasing device to retract and release the cable 21, and the wire length detection module can accurately detect the retracted and released length of the cable 21 and feed back to the control module 14, so as to control the retracted and released length of the cable 21. Compared with the traditional wire retracting and releasing device, the automatic wire retracting and releasing system of the embodiment of the present application can accurately control the retracted and released length of the cable 21.

[0032] It should be noted that a water depth sensor 35 and a bottom distance sensor 36 are installed on the underwater detection device 34. The underwater detection device 34 feeds back the water depth and bottom distance information to the control module 14. The control module 14 automatically retracts and releases the cable 21 according to the preset water depth or bottom distance setting value, and adjusts the underwater depth position or the distance to the bottom of the water.

[0033] It can be understood that the housing 1 includes a first side plate 7, a second side plate 13, a bottom plate 37 and an outer cover 38. The bottom plate 37 is provided with supporting feet 29.

The encoder 2 and the encoder 2 are installed in the housing 1 through a first pressing block 4. The encoder 2 clamps the cable 21 through the encoder wheel 3, thereby realizing the counting of the retracted and released length of the cable 21.

[0039] In this embodiment, the length of the retracted cable 21 is measured by the encoder 2 and fed back to the control module 14 , so that the control module 14 can accurately control the retracted length of the cable 21 .

In addition, since the first motor driver 32, the first motor 20 and the first transmission assembly 5 also drive the cable 21 to arrange the cable, the cable 21 arranges the cable stably and the efficiency is high.

[0042] It can be understood that the cable arrangement assembly includes a reciprocating screw rod 10, a reciprocating slide rod 11, a cable arranger 12 and a first end cover 23. The reciprocating screw rod 10 is fixed in the housing 1 through the first end cover 23. The cable arranger 12 is installed on the reciprocating slide rod 11 and is slidably connected to the reciprocating slide rod 11.

The first connector 16 is electrically connected through the conductive slip ring 26, and the conductive slip ring 26 is electrically connected to the second connector 18. The second connector 18 is used to connect to the host computer, and the host computer communicates with the underwater detection device 34 through the cable 21 and provides power.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the second transmission assembly includes a driving wheel 27, a driven wheel 33 and a belt 28.

The driven wheel 33 is fixedly connected to the transmission screw.

[0048] In this embodiment, when the second motor 24 is working, the output shaft of the second motor 24 drives the driving wheel 27 to rotate, the driving wheel 27 drives the driven wheel 33 to rotate through the belt 28, and the driven wheel 33 drives the reciprocating screw rod 10 to rotate. Since the reciprocating screw rod 10 is threadedly connected to the cable arranger 12, the cable arranger 12 can reciprocate on the reciprocating screw rod 10, thereby arranging the cable 21.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, a first roller 8 and a second roller 9 are provided in the housing 1 , and one end of the cable 21 is wound around the first roller 8 and the second roller 9 and extends out from the cable outlet.

[0050] In this embodiment, during the process of retracting and releasing the cable 21, the cable 21 is guided by the first roller 8 and the second roller 9, so that the cable 21 retracts and releases more smoothly.

[0051] It should be noted that the first roller 8 and the second roller 9 are relatively arranged on both sides of the cable arrangement device 12 , so that the cable 21 can smoothly pass through the cable arrangement device 12 .
