Intelligent seabed base
Technical Field
The invention relates to equipment for ocean observation, in particular to an intelligent seabed base with high recovery rate and a control method thereof.
Background
The seabed base is a measuring device working on the seabed, and various self-contained observation instruments such as ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler), CTD (thermohaline depth meter), OBS (ocean bottom seismograph), suspended sediment collector or other optional instruments are carried in the seabed base, and after the seabed base is arranged, the instruments can continuously observe ocean elements for a long time, particularly measure ocean dynamic parameters for a long time, and obtain underwater long-term comprehensive observation data. The seabed base has important significance for the research on the physical and chemical characteristics of ocean circulation, seabed seawater flow and deep seawater. The lowering of the seabed base to the seabed for observation and data collection is often influenced by seabed complexity factors. The carrying instrument can be divided into a non-active sound production instrument such as a CTD, the active sound production instrument such as an ADCP (acoustic Doppler current transducer) emits underwater sound signals to measure the flow velocity, the core device ADCP of the seabed base uses an acoustic wave transducer as a sensor, the acoustic wave transducer continuously emits acoustic pulses, the acoustic pulses are reflected by sediment particles and plankton which are unevenly distributed in the water body, the reflected acoustic pulse signals are received by the acoustic wave transducer, and the flow velocity is calculated by measuring Doppler frequency shift.
Most of the people think that the seabed base loss is covered by silt or dragged away by a fishing net, for example, the self-floating anti-silting seabed CN109204746B, the silt-proof seabed CN105730653B and the swing silt-proof seabed CN105675254B of the patent documents study the technology of how to prevent the silt from causing the seabed base loss. With the progress of the fish detector technology, more and more fishermen use acoustic instruments to detect fish, the document multi-beam ultrasonic fish detector CN100541230C utilizes a multi-channel transducer array to improve the intensity of received echoes, more and more accurate information such as fish schools, submarine topography and landforms can be obtained, and the fishing accuracy and the working efficiency are improved.
The ADCP actively sends out underwater acoustic signals, which are easily detected by an acoustic instrument and expose the arrangement position of a seabed base, and the underwater acoustic signals are easily lost due to high price; the loss of valuable instruments is a problem which troubles ocean investigation for a long time, and the loss of valuable instruments makes personnel in the ocean investigation unfair, untimely and impale the gas. It is necessary to develop a seabed base that avoids actively emitting underwater acoustic signals to expose itself, thereby reducing losses due to exposure.

The intelligent seabed base is characterized in that the upper box body 126 is in an eight-edge frustum shape with eight side faces, the eight side faces are respectively provided with a circular truncated cone type sound wave guide port 101, an included angle between the side face of the upper box body 126 and a vertical plane is represented by beta, different beta angles are selected to correspond to different detection ranges 201, and at least the detection range 201 is larger than the sound production range 202.

The sounding range 202 refers to a range that sound waves of the active sounding instrument directly reach, sound pulses sent by the active sounding instrument are reflected by the sea surface, and the direction and the size of the reflected sound pulses are constantly changed and gradually weakened due to the fact that the sea waves fluctuate, and the reflected sound pulses are submerged in environmental noise.
The controller 109 comprises a central processing unit, an internal memory, an external memory, an interface circuit, a power supply and a water-tight pressure-resistant casing, wherein the central processing unit is respectively connected with the internal memory, the external memory and the interface circuit by using a printed circuit board, and the central processing unit, the internal memory, the external memory and the interface circuit are respectively connected with the power supply; the external memory refers to an external memory, and preferably the high-speed solid state disk is the external memory; interface circuit of controller 109 is electrically connected to interface circuits of ADCP107, single-point current meter 108 and hydrophone 113 through signal cable 112, and collects data of ADCP107, single-point current meter 108 and hydrophone 113, and stores the data in external memory.
