Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

The first support steel plate 1 is a folded plate with a 60° angle, welded and fixed to the inner walls of the four sides of the ship's liquid tank. Its folded plate structure increases the contact area with the liquid tank wall, improving support stability. The second support steel plate 2 is welded and fixed to the side of the first support steel plate 1, forming a semi-annular shape. The first connecting pipe 6 is embedded in the semi-annular space of the second support steel plate 2, with the inner and outer walls of both fitting together. Pipe cover plates 8 are welded to the top and bottom ends of the first connecting pipe 6, forming a closed cavity to store air and provide buoyancy.

[0030] The third support steel plate 4 is welded to the center of the inner wall at the bottom of the liquid tank, and fourth support steel plates 5 are welded to its four sides. The fourth support steel plate 5 is also semi-annular, and the second connecting pipe 9 is embedded within this semi-annular space, with their inner and outer walls in contact. Pipe caps 8 are welded to the top and bottom of the second connecting pipe 9, forming a closed cavity that, together with the first connecting pipe 6, provides buoyancy. Limiting plates 7 are welded to the top and bottom of both the second support steel plate 2 and the fourth support steel plate 5, respectively, to restrict the vertical movement of the first connecting pipe 6 and the second connecting pipe 9, preventing them from derailing.

[0031] The application can be used in the field of ship liquid tank sloshing, and can also be used in other fields applicable to the application.

[0032] Embodiment 2: a ship liquid tank sloshing device improved on the basis of embodiment 1, which is applied to the field of ship liquid tank sloshing.

[0033] The sloshing plate 3 is in a cross shape, and four ends thereof are welded and fixed with the first connecting pipe 6 and the second connecting pipe 9, respectively, and each branch keeps a vertical state with the inner wall of the liquid tank. The thickness of the sloshing plate 3 is 8 mm, and the liquid impact force is dispersed to four directions through the cross structure to reduce local stress concentration. The top end of the sloshing plate 3 is fixed with a floating ball 10, and the buoyancy of the floating ball 10 cooperates with the closed cavities of the first connecting pipe 6 and the second connecting pipe 9 to make the sloshing plate 3 freely ascend and descend along the semi-circular track and horizontally slide along with the liquid level change.

[0034] The thicknesses of the first supporting steel plate 1, the second supporting steel plate 2, the third supporting steel plate 4 and the fourth supporting steel plate 5 are all 6 mm, which reduces the overall weight of the device while meeting the structural strength. The semi-circular track of the second supporting steel plate 2 and the fourth supporting steel plate 5 allows the first connecting pipe 6 and the second connecting pipe 9 to move in the transverse and longitudinal directions of the liquid tank at the same time, and the position of the sloshing plate 3 is self-adaptively adjusted by the buoyancy of the floating ball 10 to suppress the free surface fluctuation of the liquid caused by the transverse and longitudinal rolling of the ship.

In the actual implementation process, the components can be reasonably configured and adjusted according to specific needs and actual conditions.
