Abstract
A freely-combinable multifunctional ocean-bottom seismic detection device includes a cabin body having a sealed structure and is made of a titanium alloy. A hydrophone, a first power interface, and a signal transmission sealing connector are mounted on an upper flange. A digital collector, a broadband seismometer, a global positioning system (GPS), and an electronic compass are mounted in the cabin body. The broadband seismometer is mounted on a leveling mechanism. Rechargeable lithium batteries are mounted in sealed battery compartments. A settlement coupling frame is arranged below the cabin body and is detachably connected to the cabin body. An uncoupling mechanism is mounted at a top of the cabin body. The device has a synchronous arrangement function of deployment as an independent node with data stored inside the instrument, and quick integration into a seabed foundation (or a subsurface buoy) with real-time data transmission.
