Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of high-density resistivity exploration, and more particularly to a dual-electrode floating platform device for high-density resistivity exploration. Background Technology

[0002] High-density resistivity method, a commonly used electrical exploration system, is widely applied in hydrological engineering and environmental geological surveys. Its system encompasses two main parts: data acquisition and data processing, and belongs to the array exploration method. In actual field measurements, all electrodes need to be placed at the measuring point, and then, with the help of a programmable electrode switch and a microcomputer-controlled engineering detector, rapid and automatic data acquisition is achieved. Under conventional terrain conditions, this method can efficiently acquire geological information, providing strong support for various geological analyses and engineering decisions. However, when it comes to exploring and collecting corresponding water data in water bodies, existing technology reveals many problems:

[0003] I. Risks of Personnel Working in Water: When collecting data in water areas, staff often need to wade directly into the water to set up electrodes and related equipment. This not only exposes staff to direct personal safety threats such as drowning and slipping injuries, but also may cause health problems such as colds and rheumatism due to prolonged immersion in water.

[0004] II. Difficulty in Electrode Positioning: The complex aquatic environment, with factors such as water flow and waves, makes it difficult to fix the electrodes in the intended location. This can lead to a mismatch between the collected data and the actual location, thus affecting the accuracy of subsequent data processing and geological structure inference.

[0005] 3. Cable joints are prone to water seepage and leakage: Since cables need to be laid in water, water seepage is an unavoidable problem. Once water seeps into the cable joints, it may cause short circuits or leakage, affecting the accuracy of data acquisition, and may even damage measuring instruments, increasing equipment maintenance costs and the risk of work delays.

[0006] Therefore, the above problems need to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0026] For easier understanding, please refer to Figures 1 to 3This application provides an embodiment of a dual-electrode floating platform device for high-density resistivity method, comprising a floating platform 1 and a traction device. The bottom of the floating platform 1 is provided with a gravity base 3, which contains a 21 to increase its gravity and thus improve the stability of the floating platform 1. The top of the floating platform 1 is provided with a slot 4. A first electrode 7 and a second electrode 8 are vertically arranged on both sides of the floating platform 1. One end of the first electrode 7 extends underwater to ground, and the other end passes through the floating platform 1 and exits from the bottom of the slot 4 at the top of the floating platform 1. One end of the second electrode 8 extends underwater to ground, and the other end passes through the floating platform 1 and is electrically connected to the middle of the first electrode 7. A cable 5 and a converter 6 are provided in the slot 4. Both the floating platform 1 and the traction device are provided with traction buckles 11, and the two traction buckles 11 are connected by a connecting rope 12. The first electrode 7... One end of the first electrode 7 protruding from the bottom of the slot 4 is electrically connected to the cable 5. When collecting aquatic environmental monitoring data using the high-density resistivity method, the converter 6 inside the slot 4 is first connected to the cable 5 on land, and the end of the first electrode 7 protruding from the bottom of the slot 4 is connected to the cable 5. At this time, the floating platform 1 is pulled to the designated monitoring point by the traction device. At this time, one end of the first electrode 7 and the second electrode 8 are inserted underwater to ground, realizing the collection of aquatic environmental monitoring data, thereby realizing non-contact operation, preventing short circuits or leakage of the cable in water, and ensuring personnel safety. Moreover, the connection between the floating platform 1 and the gravity base 3 improves the resistance of the floating platform 1 to water flow impact and improves the accuracy of the monitoring data collection position. The converter 6 is located inside the slot 4 and connects the two cables 5. One end of the first electrode 7 is then connected to the cable 5, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the converter 6, the cable 5, and the first electrode 7.

[0027] Furthermore, a collision protection sleeve 9 is fixedly fitted at the connection between the floating platform 1 and the gravity base 3. The collision protection sleeve 9 is used to protect the floating platform 1 from damage when it hits an obstacle during the towing process, thereby improving the collision resistance of the floating platform 1. The outer surface of the collision protection sleeve 9 is provided with evenly distributed rubber vertical strips 22. The rubber vertical strips 22 are used to improve the collision protection and buffering performance of the collision protection sleeve 9, thereby further improving the collision resistance of the floating platform 1.

[0028] Furthermore, the bottom of the anti-collision sleeve 9 is provided with multiple stable horizontal bars 10, which are used to reduce swaying and improve stability when the anti-collision sleeve 9 is suspended on the water surface.

[0029] Furthermore, the towing device is an unmanned remote-controlled boat 2, which includes a hull 17, an upper shell 16, a maintenance plate 14, and a panoramic camera 13. The hull 17 is fitted with anti-collision strips 20 to prevent the hull 17 from colliding with the shore when the unmanned remote-controlled boat 2 is pulled ashore. The maintenance plate 14 facilitates regular maintenance of the interior of the unmanned remote-controlled boat 2. The panoramic camera 13 is electrically connected to the electronic control unit and collects water area image data. The upper shell 16 is fixedly connected to the boat. On the upper surface of body 17, an electronic control component is installed inside the upper shell 16. The inspection plate 14 is detachably connected to the inspection window of the upper shell 16. The panoramic camera 13 is installed on the upper surface of the upper shell 16. When the unmanned remote-controlled boat 2 needs to tow the floating platform 1 to the designated water monitoring point for data collection, the staff on the shore sends a control command to the electronic control unit via a remote controller. The electronic control unit controls the unmanned remote-controlled boat 2 to start and tow the floating platform 1 to the designated monitoring point, so that the floating platform can be brought to the monitoring point without the need for personnel to wade through the water, thus ensuring the safety of personnel.

[0030] Furthermore, a mounting base 15 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the hull 17 near the bow. A traction assembly is installed on the mounting base 15, comprising an electric push rod 18 and a traction rod 19. The fixed end of the electric push rod 18 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base 15, and the extended end of the electric push rod 18 is fixedly connected to the traction rod 19. The electric push rod 18 and the traction rod 19 are used to, after the floating platform 1 completes data acquisition, tow the floating platform 1 back to the shore under remote control of the unmanned remote-controlled vessel 2. When the unmanned remote-controlled boat 2 is brought ashore, the microcontroller inside the boat is controlled by the remote controller. The microcontroller activates the electric push rod 18, which extends. The extended end of the electric push rod 18 then lifts the traction rod 19 diagonally upwards. The operator can reach out and grasp the traction rod 19 without bending over, and pull the unmanned remote-controlled boat 2 ashore by using the electric push rod 18. This avoids the danger of falling or even falling into the river due to instability when the operator bends over and stretches out their arm to retrieve the boat, thus improving the safety of the unmanned remote-controlled boat 2 recovery.

[0031] It should be noted that the electronic control unit, microcontroller, electric push rod 18, unmanned remote-controlled boat 2, remote controller, converter 6, first electrode 7 and second electrode 8 used in this application are all existing electronic components in the art. Those skilled in the art can understand the circuit structure and the circuit connection structure between the electronic control unit, microcontroller, electric push rod 18, unmanned remote-controlled boat 2, remote controller, converter 6, first electrode 7 and second electrode 8 based on existing publicly available technical knowledge and technical information. This application embodiment will not elaborate on this in detail, and those skilled in the art can freely select the corresponding model as needed. This embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions here.
