[0026] Furthermore, a multi-section hydraulic telescopic rod 13 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the rotating plate 3, the lower end of the multi-section hydraulic telescopic rod 13 passes through the lower surface of the mounting frame 1, a mounting plate 14 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the multi-section hydraulic telescopic rod 13, and a connecting line 15 is fixedly installed on the echo sounder body 2.

[0027] Furthermore, a second mounting groove 16 is provided on the lower surface of the mounting plate 14, and a fixing groove 17 is provided on the inner wall of the second mounting groove 16. An acoustic wave transmitter and receiver 18 is fixedly installed on the end of the connecting line 15 away from the echo sounder body 2. The acoustic wave transmitter and receiver 18 is a prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0028] Furthermore, the mounting frame 1 is first fixed by the top plate 6 and the rubber plate 8, and then the second micro motor 9 is started to rotate the rotating plate 3, driving the sound wave transmitter and receiver 18 to reach above the water surface, and then the multi-section hydraulic telescopic rod 13 drives the sound wave transmitter and receiver 18 close to the water surface to detect the underwater environment, thereby reducing the labor intensity of workers, thereby improving the work efficiency of workers and improving the utilization efficiency of the device.

[0032] Working principle: When using the surveying and mapping device, the device can be placed on the ship to be surveyed. After being placed on the ship, the first micro motor 5 can be started, and the output end of the first micro motor 5 rotates, driving the threaded rod 7 fixedly connected to its output end to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 7 drives the top plate 6 threadedly connected to it to move left, and the top plate 6 drives the rubber plate 8 fixedly connected to it to move left, and abuts against the inner wall of one side of the ship. Through the friction of the threaded rod 7, the mounting frame 1 and the ship are relatively fixed. After that, the second micro motor 9 can be started, and the output end of the second micro motor 9 is fixed. The rotating plate 3 connected thereto rotates, and the annular limiting plate 10 fixedly connected to the rotating plate 3 rotates inside the annular limiting groove 12, thereby causing the rotating plate 3 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating plate 3 drives the multi-section hydraulic telescopic rod 13 fixedly connected thereto to rotate, and the multi-section hydraulic telescopic rod 13 drives the mounting plate 14 fixedly mounted with its telescopic end to move, and moves to above the water surface outside the ship. After that, the multi-section hydraulic telescopic rod 13 is started, and the telescopic end of the multi-section hydraulic telescopic rod 13 drives the mounting plate 14 fixedly connected thereto to move downward, thereby causing the sound wave transmitter and receiver 18 on the mounting plate 14 to move toward The echo sounder 2 is connected to the water surface, and the sound waves reflected back are received, so that the received data are transmitted to the echo sounder body 2 through the connecting line 15, and the data is processed. The underwater environment at all places can be surveyed and mapped at all times, and there is no need for workers to hold the sound wave transmitter and receiver 18 to survey and map the underwater environment. It is easy to use. When fixing the sound wave transmitter and receiver 18, the circular plate 19 on the sound wave transmitter and receiver 18 is directly aligned with the fixing groove 17 and pushed in, so that the circular plate 19 enters the interior of the fixing groove 17 and the inclined surface of the T-shaped block 22 is aligned with the circular plate 19 on the fixing groove 17. When the circular plate 19 is completely inserted into the fixed groove 17, the extrusion of the T-shaped block 22 disappears, so that the spring 21 pushes the T-shaped block 22 out of the T-shaped groove 20 and into the fixed groove 17, thereby fixing the circular plate 19 and the sound wave transmitter and receiver 18. When disassembling, only the T-shaped block 22 needs to be pushed into the T-shaped groove 20 to remove the circular plate 19 and the sound wave transmitter and receiver 18. The installation and fixation are convenient, which improves the work efficiency of the workers.
