  • Seafloor multi-wave seismic source and seafloor exploration system
    Patent number: 11747497
    Abstract: The present application provides a seafloor multi-wave seismic source including: a pressure chamber mechanism; a high-voltage pulse generator with four discharge pathways; a thrust mechanism with a thrust rod and a thrust head; four vibrators are evenly distributed around a periphery of the thrust head, and each vibrator is connected with one discharge pathway of the high-voltage pulse generator; a power supply unit to power the seismic source; and a processor, a memory and a program, wherein the program is stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor; and the program includes: pulse emission instructions generated by the processor based on user settings and received by the high-voltage pulse generator, for switching on four or any two of the four discharge pathways at the same time, to enable the corresponding vibrators to vibrate to excite seismic waves in compression wave mode or shear wave mode.
