Description
Integrated in-situ deep-sea detection and sampling platform Technical field The present invention belongs to a technical field of comprehensive deep-sea environmental exploration, geological sampling and precise placement of equipment, and is an integrated in-situ deep-sea detection and sampling platform.
Technology background There are some foreign universities and research institutes that have installed, designed and manufactured similar in-situ deep-water exploration platforms out of research needs.
The platforms can be customized to a high degree, and observation items and sampling equipment can be replaced at any time to achieve different scientific research purposes.
By contrast, research and development technology of related equipment in China started relatively late.
At present, there have not been similar in-situ deep-sea detection platforms yet in China's marine research frontline, and detection and sampling methods are relatively single.
Sampling, measuring and geophysical exploration are all separated.
According to different investigating methods, scientific researches are done using different vessels, voyages, winches in different times and seasons, and even in different locations.
Later, data and samples are processed in the laboratory, which makes data interpretation and sample analysis more difficult.
Therefore, in-situ comprehensive detection and sampling is extremely urgent.
At present, several integrated scientific research vessels equipped with or about to be equipped with optical cables in China, such as “Da Yang 01”, “Ke Xue", “Hai Yang 06”, “Xiang Yang Hong 10”, "Xiang Yang Hong 01, “Xiang Yang Hong 03” and new scientific research vessels such as "Xue Long 02°, “Hai Yang” and “Shen Hai” ready to be put into scientific research missions after checking and acceptance, will carry underwater equipment based on optical cable communication.
These scientific research vessels are also main force of deep-sea resource detection and ocean-going basic scientific investigation, laying a solid foundation for deep-sea scientific investigation and national ocean strategy in the future.
Summary of the invention The present invention is designed to provide an integrated in-situ deep-sea detection and sampling platform.
A beneficial effect of the present invention is that it can realize accurate collection of target samples of deep seabed.
The samples and data obtained are not only characterized by in-situ collection, but also are highly consistent in time and space domains, providing very important evidence for the identification and analysis of key sea areas and rapidly changing seabed activities.
A technical scheme adopted in the present invention includes a mechanical body of an observation platform, an acoustic detection subsystem, a water environment detection subsystem, an underwater panoramic high-definition (including hyperspectral imaging) visualization system, a gesture adjustment system, a releasing mechanism system and a high- speed underwater data transmission system, among which:

3. Underwater panoramic high-definition (including hyperspectral imaging visualization system: possessing a high-definition panoramic imaging and monitoring system and an off-bottom altimeter with an image resolution 1080 P or higher;
4. Water environment detection subsystem: equipped with a variety of sensors for real-time marine environment monitoring;
5. Releasing mechanism system: releasing system load is less than 5 tons and it is possible to employ a box sampler and a gravity sampler to work synchronously;
6. Gesture adjustment system: equipped with a propeller; a position and a gesture of the whole detection platform can be adjusted appropriately with an operating water depth of 0 - 6000 meters and a power supply mode of ensuring power supply through photoelectric composite cables, and the power energy is above 3200 W. Further, it is possible to lower the platform to the seabed by armoured optical cables, up to 6000 meters deep. In case sight from the deck is clear, it is possible to control the movement of the propeller and opening and closing of the releaser by instructions, carry out data transmission and communication through photoelectrical composite cables; observe the seabed and the water environment through the visual device equipped on the platform, control the releaser by the deck monitoring system and release the sampler to take the samples when needed; and the observation and sampling platform is equipped with a submarine panoramic high-definition hyperspectral imaging system, light sources and power supply devices, and the platform is connected to the ship 's control panel and monitor through armoured cables. During operation, the integrated platform is lowered to a height of 5 ~ 10 m above the seabed by a 10,000 - meter armoured optical cable winch, and dynamic positioning is started. The ship sails at a slow speed of 1 ~ 2 knots and looks for and detects the sampling target through the monitor on board; in the meantime detects the water environment, measures the topography and geomorphology on the targeted seabed using the acoustic telemeter and using the hyperspectral imaging system for optical telemetry, and adjusts gesture and position of the integrated platform through the propeller. After finding the target, the releasing mechanism can be opened immediately to send out the sampling equipment; and based on observation of the geomorphological features and sample images of the seabed, the propeller can adjust gesture and position of the sampling device by controlling the underwater operation status of the integrated in-situ deep-sea observation system platform and using the deck monitoring platform of the survey ship.
