Its main function is to prepare and manage ballast water, which plays a vital role in ship operation to ensure safe navigation under different loads and sea conditions. Ballast fluid generally refers to the water and suspended matter added to a ship to adjust its trim, list, draft, stability, or stress. This liquid is mainly used to maintain the ship's balance and stability, especially when loading and unloading cargo or encountering severe sea conditions. The use of ballast fluid can ensure the safety and maneuverability of the ship during navigation.
[0003] The existing ballast fluid preparation methods still have certain shortcomings in their application:
[0004] 1. Existing equipment is inconvenient for feeding or discharging materials during use. This is mainly because the design of traditional ballast fluid preparation equipment often neglects the convenience of feeding and discharging materials, causing operators to spend too much time and effort when adding or discharging ballast fluid.
[0005] 2. Because the ballast fluid contains salt, preservatives and coolant, precipitation is likely to occur. These precipitates tend to accumulate inside the device, and long-term accumulation may reduce the balance and stability of the device. Utility Model Content

[0031] The process involves starting the extraction pump 202, which extracts the prepared liquid from the preparation cylinder 1 into a suitable container via the extraction pipe 203 and the guide pipe 204.
[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the stirring assembly 3 includes a sealing cover 301 at the bottom of the preparation cylinder 1. A stirring motor 303 is installed at the bottom of the sealing cover 301. A rotating rod 306 is fixedly connected to the output end of the stirring motor 303. The rotating rod 306 passes through the sealing cover 301 and extends into the preparation cylinder 1. The rotating rod 306 is rotatably connected to the sealing cover 301. A stirring blade 307 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 306. A temperature sensor 308 is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing cover 301.

The entire preparation process is simple to operate, highly efficient, and produces a stable ballast fluid that meets usage requirements.
