An obstacle avoidance device for underwater exploration equipment is disclosed. The obstacle avoidance device for underwater exploration equipment according to the present invention comprises: a main frame comprising an installation space formed inside, an installation end for hanging and installing underwater exploration equipment to be located in the installation space on the upper part of the installation space, a forward inclined part inclined upwardly on the front side of the bottom surface, and a backward inclined part inclined upwardly on the back side of the bottom surface, and formed by combining a plurality of horizontal members and vertical members with a predetermined thickness so that the installation space is open in all directions; an avoidance frame comprising a cone or polygonal lower avoidance part, in which one end of each first avoidance member having a predetermined thickness is coupled to the front part of the main frame at a distance from each other, the other end of each first avoidance member is coupled to each other to have an inclined guide part having the same inclination as the front inclined part, and a signal line passage space is formed that is open in all directions therein; and a rudder provided on the upper surface and rear of the main frame. The underwater exploration equipment is suspended from the installation end, is installed in the installation space, and is connected by a towline to the lower avoidance part so that when towed, underwater obstacles are avoided by being guided by the inclined guide part and the forward inclined part. Accordingly, underwater exploration can be carried out smoothly. 수중탐사장비용 장애물 회피장치가 개시된다. 본 발명에 따른 수중탐사장비용 장애물 회피장치는, 내부에 설치공간이 형성되고, 상기 설치공간의 상부에는 수중탐사장비가 상기 설치공간에 위치하도록 매달아 설치하기 위한 설치단이 마련되며, 저면 전방쪽에는 전방 상향으로 경사진 전방 경사부가 형성되고, 저면 후방쪽에는 후방 상향으로 경사진 후방 경사부가 형성되며, 상기 설치공간이 사방으로 개방되도록 소정의 굵기를 갖는 다수개의 수평부재 및 수직부재들이 결합되어 이루어진 메인 프레임; 소정의 굵기를 갖는 각 제1 회피부재들의 일단이 메인 프레임의 전방부에 간격을 유지하여 각각 결합되고 각 상기 제1 회피부재들의 타단이 상기 전방 경사부와 같은 경사의 경사 안내부를 갖도록 서로 결합되며 내부에 사방으로 개방된 신호선 통과공간이 형성된 원뿔 또는 다각뿔 형상의 하부 회피부를 포함하는 회피 프레임; 및 상기 메인 프레임의 상면과 후방에 마련되는 방향타를 포함하고, 상기 설치단에 상기 수중탐사장비를 매달아 상기 설치공간에 설치한 후 상기 하부 회피부에 견인줄을 연결하여 견인할 때 수중의 장애물들이 상기 경사 안내부와 상기 전방 경사부에 안내되면서 회피되도록 된 것을 특징으로 한다.
