The movable sediment trapping device has three operating modes, which are: a vertical movement working mode, a passive drifting working mode and an autonomous navigation working mode.

When the movable sediment trapping device is in a vertical motion state, the first vertical driving module 12 changes the heavy buoyancy relation of the movable sediment trapping device through pumping and draining, submerges to the position near the preset depth range quickly and energy-efficiently, then the second vertical driving module 15 is started, the depth of the movable sediment trapping device is accurately adjusted in a small range, and then accurate depth setting is achieved.
