The invention relates to a heavy hammer for
hydrographic survey, and belongs to the technical field of
hydrographic survey instruments. The design of the heavy hammer is based on taking a volume V, a
material density rho and a shape parameter as core decision variables and taking a minimum
mass m as a target function; the optimal
mathematical model meets the requirements of a water
surface tension change threshold value
delta T1 caused by
buoyancy, a water bottom tension change threshold value
delta T2 caused by water bottom support, a terminal sinking speed threshold value vmin, the maximum
mass gamma < = 0.5 kg and the maximum boundary dimension constraint. The heavy hammer is spherical, drop-shaped or
torpedo-shaped,
specific volume, density and
mass parameters are obtained through optimization calculation, and high-tension detection sensitivity and rapid sinking efficiency are achieved while portability is ensured. Preferably, the heavy hammer is of a separable
assembly type structure, and a containing cavity and a counterweight
metal block are arranged in the heavy hammer so as to adjust the density and the mass. According to the
system, the problem of contradiction between performance indexes in heavy hammer design is solved, and the comprehensive measurement performance is remarkably improved.
