Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of underwater detection and technology, and specifically is a seabed high-precision imaging device suitable for an underwater mobile platform. Background Art

[0002] Mineral resources on the seabed are often accompanied by special topographic features. When conducting deep-sea economic mineral resource exploration and scientific investigation, it is first necessary to obtain accurate seabed topographic features of the exploration area. At present, the commonly used means of conducting seabed topography and geomorphology surveys mainly include ship-borne geophysical acoustics, multi-beam detection near the seabed, and geological sampling surveys. These methods have the advantages of long measurement distance and large range, and can map the topographic features of the seabed thousands of meters below. However, the defect is that the accuracy of the acquired seabed topography is low, usually with a resolution of tens of meters to hundreds of meters, so it is necessary to deploy underwater detection equipment for deep exploration.

[0003] When the existing high-precision seabed imaging device of the underwater mobile platform is in use, if the underwater environment is relatively harsh, the propeller of the subsequent thruster is easy to suck in debris, causing the equipment to fail to operate, and in severe cases, the thruster may be damaged, resulting in inability to use normally. At the same time, insufficient protection reduces the safety of the underwater detection device. For this reason, we propose a high-precision seabed imaging device suitable for underwater mobile platforms. Utility Model Content
