Underwater anti-rotation empennage and direct-reading CTD with same

Abstract

The invention discloses an underwater anti-rotation empennage which comprises an anti-rotation piece for preventing underwater rotation of a direct-reading type CTD in the circumferential direction, and the anti-rotation piece is connected to a water sampling frame of the direct-reading type CTD. Preferably, the anti-rotation piece comprises a supporting framework and high-strength waterproof cloth, and the high-strength waterproof cloth is arranged on the supporting framework. Preferably, the supporting framework comprises a pressure-resistant buoyancy rod and a stainless steel framework, and the pressure-resistant buoyancy rod is arranged on the upper portion of the stainless steel framework. Preferably, the water sampling device further comprises a storage support used for storing the high-strength waterproof cloth, the storage support is fixedly connected to the water sampling frame, and the pressure-resistant buoyancy rod and the stainless steel framework are rotationally connected to the storage support. The invention further discloses the direct-reading type CTD. According to the underwater anti-rotation empennage and the direct-reading CTD with the same, automatic unfolding under water and automatic folding after water outgoing can be achieved, steel cable damage caused by underwater rotation of the empennage is prevented, and safety of marine instruments and equipment is guaranteed.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This technology helps prevent damage caused by rotating devices while still being able to read them from water depths beyond 30 meters or even deeper levels. It uses an improved design that redirects the device's light towards its target instead of directly onto it when navigated through seawater. By doing this, there are fewer wires needed for navigation, which saves money on maintenance costs compared with traditional methods like steering cables. Additionally, these techniques can be used during oceanic drilling activities where waves may cause unstable movements over time. Overall, they improve safety measures and reduce environmental impact associated with subsea operation.

Problems solved by technology

Technological Problem: Current Direct Readings CTD systems have limitations such as limited range of movement during ocean exploration activities, difficulty accessing certain areas near the surface without being obstructed from view while also requiring expensive electrical cables to connect them to the vessel's subsystem. Additionally, current methods are prone to damage caused by environmental factors like waves hitting the boat hull, causing inspections to stop over again afterward.
