GEOPHYSICAL LABORATORY FOR OCEAN-BOTTOM SEISMOGRAPH STATIONS Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC G01V1/38 G01V1/22 

FIELD: seismic research.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of seismic research in water areas, namely, to the means of providing research using a hardware and software complex for marine seismic exploration and monitoring in transit zones and on the shelf based on advanced 4-component autonomous ocean-bottom seismograph stations. The essence of the invention lies in the fact that the geophysical laboratory for ocean-bottom seismograph stations contains a housing in which there is a power supply system, an information network with servers and a control computer, an air conditioning system, an operator’s workplace. According to the invention, the housing is made in the form of a standard container fixed on a vessel, the interior of the housing is divided into functional clusters, at least for placing and fixing individual blocks of collapsible ocean-bottom stations in them. Clusters of station battery blocks are located along one wall of the housing, and clusters of station sensor blocks are located along its opposite wall. The clusters are made in the form of cells with vertical partitions, and each cell is equipped with a power supply, a charging and synchronizing device and a control module board. Each cell of the sensor cluster is equipped with an interface to provide communication with the corresponding server, the cluster servers are connected to each other and to the control computer via the main switch, while the battery blocks are installed in the cell with the possibility of connecting them to the power supply system for maintenance and charging before use, and the sensor units are installed in cells with the possibility of connecting to the information network to configure the quartz generators placed in them and perform hardware and software tests with the formation of reports on the test results.

EFFECT: increase in the degree of autonomy during research, as well as an increase in the reliability of laboratory equipment by improving the quality of its preparation and testing immediately before use.
