However, the lack of test fields and test platforms which can reflect complex sea conditions does not allow many technical products to be shaped. Compared with other sea areas, the saline water and the fresh water in the estuary and the sea areas nearby the estuary are intersected, the silt content is high, the growth capacity of biological attachments is high due to rich nutrient salts, and the complex sea conditions cause that a plurality of existing devices cannot meet the use requirements and must be strictly tested.

Therefore, no matter marine instrument tests or long-period marine environment monitoring are carried out, a set of infrastructure which can better meet the requirements of long periods and is high in stability and reasonable is needed.

Further, a water level control sensor 25 is arranged on the buoyancy block 16, the water level control sensor 25 feeds back to the control system when contacting the sea level, and the control system closes the lifting speed reduction motor 18 to enable the balance flange 9 and the sensor inside the balance flange to extend into the sea level below for a set distance.
Furthermore, a cable tray 26 connected with a lower cable is fixedly arranged at the lower part of the water level control sensor 25.
Furthermore, a through hole is formed in the bottom of the balance flange 9 and used for receiving surging water flow of the propeller 13.
