The invention provides a
water depth detection and control method for adaptively adjusting mowing depth according to
underwater topography. The method comprises the following steps: S1, setting an operation
route of an unmanned mowing ship in a water surface to-be-operated area; s2, a plurality of point locations are arranged on the operation
route in the step S1, data of each
point location are recorded, and the data of the point locations comprise coordinates and
water depth values of the point locations; s3, at a first point position of the operation path, a
cutting knife of the unmanned mowing ship is controlled to descend to a preset initial harvesting depth, and meanwhile, the descending height of the
cutting knife is recorded; s4, starting the harvesting device to start
aquatic plant harvesting operation, continuously adjusting the height of the
cutting knife in the process that the unmanned grass cutting ship advances to the next point position according to the preset path of the operation
route, and controlling the advancing speed v of the unmanned grass cutting ship from the point position Pn to the next point position Pn + 1, so that the height adjustment of h can be realized when the cutting knife reaches the next point position Pn + 1, and the descending height of the cutting knife at the next point position is recorded, so that the harvesting depth is adaptively adjusted according to the
water depth.
