Abstract
An along-the-cable reciprocating motion control mechanism includes a moving platform, weight drop-off gear, weight release gear and trigger gear. The moving platform is set at a guide cable and can make reciprocating motion along the guide cable. A profiler is carried by the moving platform and the buoyancy of the moving platform carrying the profiler is greater than zero, the weight drop-off gear is set at the top of the guide cable and can drop a weight onto the moving platform within a predefined period, the weight release gear is provided on the moving platform, the trigger gear is set at the bottom of the guide cable, and when the moving platform carries a weight and descends to the bottom of the guide cable, the trigger gear touches the weight release gear to enable it to make a series of actions.
