The first drive device drives the first swing arm 1 to swing, so that the winch assembly moves to the top of the detection equipment installed on the deck of the ship 7. The winch assembly moves to lift the detection equipment, the first drive device drives the first swing arm 1 to swing, so that the detection equipment moves outside the deck of the ship 7, and the second drive device drives the second swing arm 2 to swing around the first swing arm 1 until it is horizontal, so that the winch assembly drives the detection equipment to completely move out of the deck of the ship 7, and the winch assembly lowers the detection equipment, which can avoid the collision between the detection equipment and the deck of the ship 7.
