Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of underwater geophysical exploration, and in particular relates to an accessory for retracting and releasing objects in the ocean. Background Art

[0002] Underwater geophysical exploration is a specialized exploration technology for underwater environments. Geophysical instruments offer significant advantages in this field. They leverage physical phenomena and principles to locate and measure underwater targets with high precision. Compared to traditional excavation or drilling methods, geophysical instruments are generally non-invasive. This means they can conduct exploration without disrupting the underwater environment or geological structures, thus reducing environmental disturbance and damage. This is crucial for protecting underwater ecosystems and cultural heritage. Geophysical instruments can rapidly collect large amounts of data and perform real-time processing and analysis. Using geophysical instruments can significantly improve safety in dangerous or inaccessible underwater areas. Geophysical instruments offer a variety of detection capabilities, measuring various physical parameters such as resistivity, spontaneous potential, magnetic field, gravity, and seismic waves. This makes them suitable for a variety of underwater geophysical exploration tasks, including marine resource exploration, underwater archaeology, and marine environmental protection.

[0003] The underwater environment is complex and ever-changing, with varying depths, current velocities, and seabed topography. Using geophysical instruments for exploration can help scientists and engineers better understand the underwater environment and provide a scientific basis for the planning and implementation of underwater projects. The ocean is one of Earth's greatest resource repositories, rich in mineral and biological resources. Using geophysical instruments for underwater resource exploration can help discover new resource reserves. Using geophysical instruments for marine environmental monitoring and protection can help promptly identify and resolve marine environmental issues, safeguarding the health and stability of marine ecosystems. Geophysical instruments offer significant advantages and are essential for underwater geophysical exploration. They not only help scientists and engineers better understand the underwater environment, discover new resource reserves and cultural heritage, but also provide strong support for marine environmental protection. Therefore, their widespread use in underwater geophysical exploration is essential.

[0004] Currently, underwater geophysical instruments are primarily deployed using platforms such as ships, submersibles, or drones. These platforms are capable of carrying the instruments to a designated underwater location and dropping them to a predetermined depth. With technological advancements, unmanned submersibles and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) have become widely used in the deployment process. The recovery of underwater geophysical instruments also typically relies on platforms such as ships, submersibles, or drones. After the survey mission is completed, these platforms will proceed to the instrument's deployment location and retrieve it to the surface or land using tools such as robotic arms and cables. For some small or lightweight geophysical instruments, devices such as buoys or airbags can also be used to automatically raise them to the surface after completing their mission, facilitating their recovery.

[0005] Although the deployment and retrieval technology of underwater geophysical instruments has made certain progress, it still faces some technical challenges. At present, although foreign brands of geophysical instruments take into account the convenience of deployment and retrieval, when China uses foreign brands of geophysical instruments for operations, it can only rent them, which greatly limits the use of geophysical instruments. Domestic geophysical instruments do not have special deployment and retrieval accessories, which limits the use of domestic geophysical instruments and reduces the accuracy of domestic detectors. In order to prevent the geophysical instrument from tipping over during the deployment and retrieval process, ropes are used. However, the ropes used in the existing technology can easily cause the geophysical instrument to not be guaranteed to be deployed in the right position, and because the geophysical instrument breaks out of the ground in an instant during the retrieval process, the ropes connected to it are easily worn, and the ropes used in the existing technology have a short service life.
