The invention discloses an
underwater detection device and a control method thereof, the device comprises a surface boat and an
underwater unmanned aerial vehicle, and the surface boat comprises a boat body; the transverse stable attitude
propeller and the
orbit vector
propeller are arranged at the bottom of the boat body; the control box is arranged on the boat body, and the transverse stable attitude propellers and the
orbit vector propellers are electrically connected with the control box; the cable and the cable winding
assembly are arranged on the boat body, the control box is connected with the
underwater unmanned aerial vehicle through the cable, and the cable winding
assembly is electrically connected with the control box; and the positioning
assembly is arranged on the boat body and is electrically connected with the control box. The underwater structure is detected through cooperative operation of the surface boat and the underwater unmanned aerial vehicle, on one hand, the movement flexibility of the underwater unmanned aerial vehicle is improved, the
signal transmission distance is reduced, and the underwater detection efficiency is improved; on the other hand, the underwater unmanned aerial vehicle can be positioned in the horizontal direction, and the positioning accuracy of the underwater unmanned aerial vehicle is improved. The method can be widely applied to the technical field of underwater detection.
