Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the estimation of a sound source position by transmitting an ultrasonic wave for measuring wave height from a wave transmitter at a pinger section at the time zone deviated from that for transmission of ultrasonic wave for measuring wave height. CONSTITUTION:A box 1 houses a control section for controlling the operation time, a recording section for recording data of a wave height, a battery and the like while a box 2 is assembled integrate with a transmitter/receiver housing section 3 of a wave height meter and a pinger section 4 for transmitting an ultrasonic wave for detecting position. The pinger section 4 houses a non- directional transmitter 5 employing a cylindrical piezoelectric element and a box 6 housing a battery for driving it 5. The wave height is observed for a long time while a transmitter/receiver 11 of the wave height meter is controlled with a control section 10. An ultrasonic wave for detecting wave height is transmitted to the sea surface from a transmitter/receiver 12 at a fixed cycle for a fixed time at a preset time interval and a reflected wave received from the sea surface.

It is possible to use moored buoys as markers, but it is extremely difficult to install them, especially in deep water areas, and there is generally a risk of them being washed away.Moreover, it is preferable to use moored buoys with no obstructive objects floating on the sea surface. For reasons of safety, do not use a buoy in a direct-mounted wave height meter. Therefore, since there is no suitable method other than finding the installation location using celestial measurements or other means, the practical problem is that the work cannot be carried out smoothly.

The present invention: In addition to the wave height detection device, a pinger is attached that sends out omnidirectional ultrasonic waves outside of the wave height detection time period and when ultrasonic waves are not sent out for wave height detection. The purpose is to detect the ultrasonic waves from the pinger and confirm the position of the pinger using a transducer.

The box 1 houses a control section for controlling operating time, a recording section for recording wave height data, a battery, and the like. The box body 2 is constructed by integrally assembling a transmitter/receiver accommodating part 3 of the wave height meter and a pinger part 4 that sends out ultrasonic waves for position detection, and the pinger part 4 is equipped with a cylindrical piezoelectric element. A storage box 6 for storing an omnidirectional wave transmitter 5 and a battery for driving the wave transmitter 5 is housed therein. Note that the storage box 6 includes a control switch circuit for driving the pre-distribution wave device 5.

The transmission system operates as follows. That is, wave height observation is carried out over a long period of time, during which time the wave height meter's transmitter/receiver 11 is controlled by the control unit 10, and the wave height is measured at regular intervals for a certain period of time, for example, 10 minutes, for example every two hours set in advance. The transducer 12 sends out ultrasonic waves for wave height detection toward the sea surface, and receives reflected waves from the sea surface.

The shaded area in FIG. 3 is the wave height observation time period during which ultrasonic pulses for wavefront detection are sent out, which is a certain period of time T. 1 every interval. This shows a state in which ultrasonic waves are transmitted for a certain amount of time.
