The invention discloses a simulation device for simplified calculation of ship-ice collision in a water medium which comprises a water tank, wherein a lifting support frame is arranged in the water tank; an ice body model is arranged on the support frame; a ship model is arranged in the water tank; a guide rail is arranged on the water tank; a towing device is arranged on the guide rail; the towing device is connected with the ship model through a towing truss, a pressure sensor is arranged at the top end of the ship, and the pressure sensor is sequentially connected with a charge amplifier, amulti-channel signal collector and a computer; the ship collides with the ice body model through the driving of the towing device so as to acquire the collision data through the pressure sensor. On the premise of not using ice material, the device can carry out high-pressure loading with different ice body shapes, ice body masses, impact speeds, impact positions, ship model floating states and impact angles, the real situation of the collision between the ship and the ice can be reflected well, the cost is low, the operation is easy, and the risk is small.
