The scissor drive cylinder 22, the first thruster 7, the second thruster 8, the third thruster 9, the camera 10, and the drive motor 13 are all controlled by the control system. The control system can be connected to the water control platform through cables, so that the operator on the shore or on the ship can timely understand the underwater and surface conditions.

[0058] The utility model sets a camera 10 above the load-bearing beam 3, which can be used to observe complex water surface conditions. The camera 10 can swing relative to the load-bearing beam 3, that is, the height of the camera 10 relative to the load-bearing beam 3 can be adjusted. When in use, the camera 10 is erected. When not in use, the camera 10 is turned over and put close to the load-bearing beam 3. This embodiment provides two camera unfolding and retracting mechanisms 12. One camera unfolding and retracting mechanism 12 is as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 and attached Figure 4The camera support 11 can be automatically adjusted by driving the motor 13 to rotate. Figure 4 , the camera bracket 11 is rotated 90° to the left, the camera bracket 11 is close to the support frame 1, and the camera 10 is put away. When in use, the drive motor is started, and the drive motor drives the camera bracket 11 to rotate upward, and the camera bracket 11 is erected to form Figure 1 and Figure 3 state, at this time, the camera 10 is located above the load-bearing beam 3. When the load-bearing beam 3 floats on the water surface, the camera 10 is located above the water surface and can observe the surrounding situation. A guide frame can be arranged below the camera bracket 11, the guide frame is fixed to the support frame 1, a guide groove is arranged on the guide frame, a guide rod is fixed at the lower end of the camera bracket 11, the guide rod slides along the guide groove, and guides the rotation of the camera bracket 11. It can be set according to the needs;

[0059] Another camera unfolding and retracting mechanism 12 is shown in the attached Figure 5 , adopt the method of manually adjusting the camera bracket 11, Figure 5 The camera bracket 11 is in the upright state. At this time, the upper end of the locking tension spring 17 is passed through the limiting hole 20, and the limiting rod 19 can be pulled downward by the two locking tension springs 17 on both sides of the camera bracket 11, so that the limiting rod 19 slides downward along the guide slot 18, and the limiting rod 19 is inserted into the limiting slot 16. The limiting rod 19 is limited and fixed. The middle of the limiting rod 19 is cylindrical and can slide along the guide slot 18. The two ends of the limiting rod 19 are flat, so that the two ends of the limiting rod 19 cooperate with the guide slot 18 to move up and down, and cannot move left and right. After the limiting rod 19 is fixed, the camera bracket 11 is fixed in a vertical state and can be used. When it is not needed, the locking tension spring 17 is pulled downward. The upper end of the spring 17 is pulled out from the limit hole 20, and the limit rod 19 is manually lifted upward, so that the limit rod 19 moves upward along the guide slot 18, and the limit rod enters the arc guide slot 15 from the limit slot 16. At this time, the camera bracket 11 is manually rotated, and the camera bracket 11 is rotated downward to be close to the support frame 1. When the camera bracket 11 rotates 90°, it stops. The camera bracket 11 is in a nearly horizontal state. There is also a limit slot 16 at the lower end of the arc guide 15. At this time, the locking tension spring 17 is connected to the upper limit hole 20 of the limit rod 19, and the position of the camera bracket 11 is limited and fixed to realize the folding of the camera. There are two methods, one automatic control and the other manual control, which can be selected according to needs.

[0060] As attached Figure 6 and attached Figure 7 The operation driving mechanism 2 can be a scissor operation mechanism, including scissors 21 and a scissor driving cylinder 22. The scissor driving cylinder 22 drives the scissors 21 to open and clamp underwater obstacles or cables, and the scissor driving cylinder 22 drives the scissors 21 to close and cut the underwater obstacles or cables. The two methods can be selected and installed according to needs.

[0061] Before use, adjust the camera bracket 11 to the unfolded state, as shown in the attached Figure 6 As shown, the utility model is then hoisted into the water, the hoisting equipment is connected to the hoisting frame 6 through a hoisting rope, the posture of the utility model in the water is adjusted by the first propeller 7, the second propeller 8, and the third propeller 9, the water surface situation is observed by the camera 10, obstacles or cables are found, the first propeller 7, the second propeller 8, and the third propeller 9 are started, so that the utility model moves to the top of the target object, the scissor drive cylinder 22 is started, the scissors 21 are opened, and the scissors 21 are driven by the first propeller 7, the second propeller 8, and the third propeller 9 to clamp the target object downward and then close it to cut it into pieces or cut it, and the first propeller 7, the second propeller 8, and the third propeller 9 are started to move the scissors 21 to the top of the next target object to be cut into pieces or cut, and the operation is continued. The utility model can not only salvage heavy objects, but also cut and cut underwater heavy objects. The operation mode is diverse, which broadens the scope of use of the utility model.

[0062] Due to the adoption of the above structure, the utility model has the advantages of ingenious structure, being able to grab heavy targets, having various operation modes, being quick and convenient to adjust the underwater posture, and being able to observe the water surface conditions.
