FIG. 2
COVERAGE TYPE IN-SITU DETECTION DEVICE AND METHOD OF SEAFLOOR HEAT FLOW TECHNICAL FIELD
[01] The present disclosure relates to the field of seafloor detection, and in particular, to a coverage type in-situ detection device and method of a seafloor heat flow.
BACKGROUNDART
[02] Currently, detection of a seafloor heat flow is generally conducted by inserting a seafloor heat flow probe, and an Ewing-type heat flow probe and a Lister-type heat flow probe are mainly used. The Ewing-type heat flow probe cannot complete in-situ measurement of a thermal conductivity, while the Lister-type heat flow probe can implement in-situ measurement of a heat flow. Specifically, the seafloor heat flow is measured by inserting the probe into a sediment. However, in this case, a heat flow at a rock seafloor cannot be measured by inserting the probe.
[03] In practical applications, the probe cannot be inserted into a bedrock seafloor. Therefore, a heat flow at a hard seafloor such as a rock seafloor cannot be measured by using the heat flow probe. As a result, it is still hard to insert the probe into the hard seafloor such as the rock seafloor and obtain heat flow data.

[18] throwing and deploying the coverage type in-situ detection device of a seafloor heat flow to a seafloor, and using a buoyancy ball to make the detection device form a falling posture with a center of buoyancy upward and a center of gravity downward, to ensure a working posture of the detection device at the seafloor;
