[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical scheme of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with embodiments.

It should be noted that the detection device in the present application has a detection probe, but the specific type of the probe is not limited, for example, it can be an ultrasonic probe or an electromagnetic wave probe, and the present application does not make specific limitation, but only improves the anti-side blowing capacity of the probe after being inserted into the ground.
[0021] Figure 2 The structure diagram of the probe part 200 is shown; Figure 2 In the present application, the probe part 200 comprises a protective shell 210 and a probe 220 installed in the protective shell 210, and a gravity ball 230 is arranged at the bottom of the protective shell 210 and can roll; when the protective shell 210 is tilted to one direction by the fluid side blowing, at this time, the protective shell 210 is subjected to the force in the same direction as the fluid, and the gravity ball 230 is subjected to the interference of gravity, so that the gravity ball 230 moves in the opposite direction relative to the protective shell 210, that is, the gravity ball 230 applies a force to the protective shell 210 in the opposite direction of the fluid, so as to offset the tilting trend of the protective shell 210; the protective shell 210 has a cylindrical structure, that is, the cross section of the protective shell 210 is circular, and the gravity ball 230 can move in any direction to adapt to the side blowing in any direction; the bottom wall of the protective shell 210 has a semispherical recess 211, and the gravity ball 230 is arranged in the semispherical recess 211; due to the arrangement of the semispherical recess 211, the gravity ball 230 is located at the lowest point of the semispherical recess 211 in the initial state, that is, at the central axis of the protective shell 210, at this time, if the protective shell 210 is tilted in any direction, the lowest point of the semispherical recess 211 changes, so as to change the position of the gravity ball 230, and at the same time, the gravity ball 230 also applies a resistance to the protective shell 210 to prevent the protective shell 210 from tilting, which is beneficial to maintaining the stable posture of the probe part 200, and after the protective shell 210 is reset, the gravity ball 230 is automatically reset to the lowest point of the semispherical recess 211, that is, on the central axis of the protective shell 210; a perforation 212 for allowing the cable to pass through is formed at the top of the protective shell 210; in actual use, the cable can pass through the perforation 212 to be connected with the probe 220 to realize signal transmission.
[0022] It should be noted that although the protective shell 210 is arranged outside the probe 220 to form a composite structure in the present application, the protective shell 210 itself does not interfere with the detection accuracy of the probe 220, for example, when the probe 220 is an ultrasonic probe, the protective shell 210 is a non-metal material to avoid interference with the signal.
