TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Deep-sea exploration is of great significance for the research and utilization of deep-sea ecology, the exploitation of deep-sea minerals, and the study of deep-sea geological structure. As an important deep-sea exploration technology, in-situ exploration technology of seabed bottom magnetic properties has many applications. For example, it has been found that there are some magnetic anomaly bands on the seabed, which record the information of geomagnetic polarity reversal. The discovery of seabed magnetic bands provides strong evidence for the theory of seabed spreading and plate movement. Moreover, seabed magnetic anomalies are effective indicators for exploring hydrothermal areas and analyzing mineral deposits. In-situ exploration technology of seabed bottom magnetic properties is the most effective means to explore seabed magnetic anomaly bands. Deep-sea in-situ exploration device of seabed bottom magnetic properties can detect the types and compositions of seabed rocks and sediments in-situ, providing support for seabed geological environment exploration and genesis analysis. In addition, it can also provide effective information for underwater target magnetic exploration and underwater unmanned underwater vehicle geomagnetic navigation technology.
