一种深海钴结壳微地形近程探测方法的探索研究

针对深海钴结壳开采技术中要求能耗低、切削深度合理、废石混入率低和采集率高等经济性能指标，根据深海环境的特殊性与现有地形探测系统的局限性，并结合多波束测深仪和侧扫声纳的相关理论，初步提出了一种基于超声波的钴结壳微地形近程探测方法。该方法得到了实验初步验证，结果表明切实可行。

Explorative Study on Short-Range Exploration Method for Deep-Sea Cobalt Crust Tiny Terrain

In light with the requirements on the mining technology for deep-sea cobalt crusts of low energy consumption, reasonable cutting depth, low rock mixing rate and high extraction rate, according to the particularity of deep-sea environment and the limitation of the existing terrain exploration methods and in combination with the related theory of muhibeam bathometer and side-scan sonar, an ultrasonic-based short-range exploration method of deep-sea cobalt crust tiny terrain was proposed. This method has been verified by preliminary experiments to be practically feasible.
