[0005] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose an environmentally friendly ballast water management device for ships, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this utility model provides an environmentally friendly ballast water management device for ships, including a support plate and a protective frame. An automatic backwash filter, a water pump, and an ultraviolet sterilizer are fixedly mounted on the top surface of the support plate via bolts. The input end of the automatic backwash filter is connected to the input end of the water pump via a pipe, and the output end of the water pump is connected to the ultraviolet sterilizer via a pipe. A plurality of symmetrically arranged locking bolts are rotatably connected to the bottom of the protective frame, and the threaded portions of the locking bolts are threaded to the support plate. An electrical control box is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the support plate via bolts. The automatic backwash filter, water pump, and ultraviolet sterilizer are all electrically connected to the electrical control box. A frame is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the protective frame, and a sealing plate is slidably connected inside the frame. The sealing plate corresponds to the control panel of the electrical control box.

[0007] Preferably, one side of the protective frame is provided with a clearance groove, which corresponds to the control panel of the electrical control box.

[0008] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, a maintenance plate is fixedly installed on the side of the protective frame away from the frame by bolts, and a maintenance groove is provided through one side of the protective frame, with the maintenance plate corresponding to the maintenance groove.

[0009] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, the bottom surface of the protective frame is fixedly connected with a number of symmetrically arranged clamping plates, and the protective frame is clamped to the bearing plate through the number of clamping plates.

[0010] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, the frame has two symmetrically arranged guide rods fixedly connected inside, the clearance groove is located between the two guide rods, and two symmetrically arranged guide holes are opened through one side of the sealing plate, and the sealing plate is slidably connected to the two guide rods through the two guide holes.

[0011] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the top surface of the bearing plate is fixedly connected with a plurality of symmetrically arranged support rods, and the inner wall of the protective frame is fixedly connected with a plurality of symmetrically arranged connecting sleeves, and the plurality of connecting sleeves are slidably connected to the plurality of support rods respectively.

[0012] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, two symmetrically arranged magnet plates are embedded in the inner wall of the frame, the outer sides of the magnet plates are in contact with the sealing plate, and the sealing plate is made of magnetic metal.

[0013] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the input end of the automatic backwash filter is fixedly connected to a water inlet pipe by bolts, and the output end of the ultraviolet sterilizer is fixedly connected to a drain pipe by bolts.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. By setting up a protective frame, in conjunction with locking bolts and a support plate, as well as structures such as clamping plates, support rods, and connecting sleeves, a protective system is constructed for core components such as automatic backwash filters, water pumps, UV sterilizers, and electrical control boxes. The protective frame can withstand the impact of waves, vibrations, and humid environments during ship transportation, preventing internal electronic components from getting damp and mechanical parts from loosening and deforming. This solves the problem of traditional devices being susceptible to harsh working conditions due to exposed structures and lack of effective protection, thus affecting operation and lifespan. It ensures long-term stable operation of the device. The frame, sealing plate, and guide rod structures allow the sealing plate to slide flexibly, facilitating operators to control the electrical control box control panel through the clearance slot. The inspection plate and inspection slot provide a convenient passage for internal maintenance, allowing maintenance without removing a large number of components. Compared with traditional devices, this simplifies the operation and maintenance process, reduces the difficulty of operation and maintenance, improves maintenance efficiency, and makes daily use and troubleshooting easier.

[0016] 2. A magnetic plate is embedded in the inner wall of the frame. Utilizing a magnetically adsorbed sealing plate made of magnetic metal, the sealing plate can be stably attached to the frame without the need for additional locking structures, simplifying the opening and closing operation. Compared to traditional bolt and clip fixing methods, this is more convenient, saves opening and closing time, and the magnetic fixation is stable and reliable, not easily loosened due to ship vibration, ensuring the protective effect on the electrical control box control panel. The guide rod inside the frame slides with the guide hole of the sealing plate, providing precise guidance for the movement of the sealing plate and preventing it from shifting or jamming during sliding, ensuring stable obstruction and easy opening of the electrical control box control panel. The protective frame and the load-bearing plate, through the cooperation of clamps, support rods, and connecting sleeves, achieve rapid positioning during installation, making the assembly of each component more precise, improving the overall installation accuracy and fit of the equipment, and reducing the risk of failure due to installation deviations.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, an environmentally friendly ballast water management device for ships includes a support plate 1 and a protective frame 2. An automatic backwash filter 3, a water pump 4, and an ultraviolet sterilizer 5 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the support plate 1 by bolts. The input end of the automatic backwash filter 3 is connected to the input end of the water pump 4 through a pipe, and the output end of the water pump 4 is connected to the ultraviolet sterilizer 5 through a pipe. Several symmetrically arranged locking bolts 6 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the protective frame 2. The threaded parts of the locking bolts 6 are all threaded to the support plate 1. An electrical control box 7 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support plate 1 by bolts. The automatic backwash filter 3, the water pump 4, and the ultraviolet sterilizer 5 are all electrically connected to the electrical control box 7. A frame 8 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the protective frame 2. A sealing plate 9 is slidably connected inside the frame 8. The sealing plate 9 corresponds to the control panel of the electrical control box 7.

[0025] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, a clearance groove 10 is provided through one side of the protective frame 2. The clearance groove 10 corresponds to the control panel of the electrical control box 7. The clearance groove 10 on one side of the protective frame 2 and its correspondence with the control panel of the electrical control box 7 provide a physical passage for operators to operate the electrical control box 7. Without removing the entire protective frame 2, the control panel can be directly accessed through the clearance groove 10. While retaining the protective function of the protective frame 2 for the electrical control box 7 (isolating external impacts, moisture, and other interference), it makes control operation more convenient, avoids the impact of frequent disassembly and assembly of the protective structure on the equipment's protective performance, and ensures a balance between the efficiency of electrical control operation and the protection of the equipment.

[0026] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, a maintenance plate 11 is bolted to the side of the protective frame 2 away from the frame 8. A maintenance slot 12 is provided through one side of the protective frame 2, with the maintenance plate 11 corresponding to the maintenance slot 12. The maintenance plate 11 is bolted to the protective frame 2, and together with the maintenance slot 12, a convenient maintenance passage is constructed. When equipment such as the automatic backwash filter 3, water pump 4, and ultraviolet sterilizer 5 malfunctions, operators can quickly remove the maintenance plate 11 and enter the interior of the protective frame 2 through the maintenance slot 12 to carry out maintenance work. Compared with designs without a dedicated maintenance structure, there is no need for large-scale disassembly of the protective frame 2 and surrounding components, which greatly shortens the maintenance preparation time, improves operation and maintenance efficiency, and reduces the impact of ship operation caused by equipment failure downtime.

[0027] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the bottom surface of the protective frame 2 is fixedly connected with several symmetrically arranged clamping plates 13. The protective frame 2 is engaged with the support plate 1 through the clamping plates 13. The clamping plates 13 on the bottom surface of the protective frame 2 and their engagement with the support plate 1 provide a pre-positioning function for the assembly of the protective frame 2 and the support plate 1. During installation, the clamping plates 13 can be quickly embedded into the corresponding positions of the support plate 1, assisting in the precise alignment and tightening of the locking bolts 6, thereby improving the installation efficiency and stability of the protective frame 2. At the same time, the engagement structure between the clamping plates 13 and the support plate 1 can share the external force (such as the force generated by ship vibration and wave impact) borne by the locking bolts 6, preventing the locking bolts 6 from loosening or breaking due to concentrated force, enhancing the reliability of the connection between the protective frame 2 and the support plate 1, and ensuring the overall structural stability of the equipment.

[0028] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, two symmetrically arranged guide rods 14 are fixedly connected inside the frame 8, and an avoidance groove 10 is located between the two guide rods 10. Two symmetrically arranged guide holes 15 are opened through one side of the sealing plate 9. The sealing plate 9 is slidably connected to the two guide rods 14 through the two guide holes 15. The guide rods 14 are set inside the frame 8, and the sealing plate 9 is slidably connected to the guide rods 14 through the guide holes 15, providing precise guidance for the sliding of the sealing plate 9. During the sliding process, the guide rods 14 restrict the offset and shaking of the sealing plate 9, ensuring that the sealing plate 9 stably blocks or avoids the control panel of the electrical control box 7, and avoids protection failure or operation obstruction due to the displacement of the sealing plate 9. Compared with the design without a guide structure, the smoothness and positioning accuracy of the sliding of the sealing plate 9 are improved, making the protection and convenience of electrical control operation more reliable.

[0029] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, a number of symmetrically arranged support rods 16 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the bearing plate 1, and a number of symmetrically arranged connecting sleeves 17 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective frame 2. The connecting sleeves 17 are slidably connected to the support rods 16 respectively. The support rods 16 are provided on the top surface of the bearing plate 1, and the connecting sleeves 17 are provided on the inner wall of the protective frame 2 and slidably connected to the support rods 16, thereby limiting and supporting the protective frame 2 in the vertical direction. When the protective frame 2 is subjected to the impact and vibration of sea waves during ship navigation, the cooperation between the support rods 16 and the connecting sleeves 17 can limit the vertical displacement and tilt of the protective frame 2. The auxiliary clamping plate 13 and the locking bolts 6 jointly maintain the installation posture of the protective frame 2, further enhancing the stability of the connection between the protective frame 2 and the bearing plate 1, ensuring that the equipment inside the protective frame 2 is not affected by abnormal displacement and collision, and improving the overall impact resistance of the device.

[0030] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, two symmetrically arranged magnetic plates 18 are embedded in the inner wall of the frame 8. The outer side of the magnetic plates 18 is attached to the sealing plate 9. The sealing plate 9 is made of magnetic metal. The magnetic plates 18 are embedded in the inner wall of the frame 8, and the sealing plate 9, which is made of magnetic metal, is quickly and stably fixed to the frame 8 by magnetic attraction. No additional locks, bolts or other structures are required. The sliding sealing plate 9 can be fixed by magnetic attraction, which is simple and efficient. When the ship vibrates, the magnetic fixation can offset part of the vibration force, making the sealing plate 9 less likely to loosen or shift. It continuously and stably shields the control panel of the electrical control box 7, ensuring the protection effect, while simplifying the opening and closing operation of the sealing plate 9.

[0031] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the input end of the automatic backwash filter 3 is fixedly connected to the inlet pipe 19 by bolts, and the output end of the ultraviolet sterilizer 5 is fixedly connected to the drain pipe 20 by bolts. The bolted connection method enables quick assembly and disassembly of the pipes and equipment. When the inlet pipe 19 or drain pipe 20 becomes aged, damaged, or requires replacement with pipes of different specifications, operators can easily disassemble and replace them without complex tools or processes. Compared with fixing methods such as welding and bonding, this reduces the difficulty of pipe maintenance, improves the flexibility of the equipment to adapt to the ballast water transportation needs of different ships, and facilitates the overall installation, commissioning, and maintenance of the equipment.

[0032] An environmentally friendly ballast water management device for ships operates on the following principle:

[0033] 1): The protective frame 2 can resist the impact of waves, vibration and humid environment during ship transportation, and avoid the internal electronic components from getting damp and the mechanical parts from loosening and deforming. It solves the problem that traditional devices are easily affected by harsh working conditions due to exposed structure and lack of effective protection, which affects operation and life.

[0034] 2): The frame 8, sealing plate 9, guide rod 14 and other structures allow the sealing plate 9 to slide flexibly, making it easy for operators to control the control panel of the electrical control box 7 through the clearance groove 10.

[0035] 3): The inspection plate 11 and the inspection slot 12 work together to provide a convenient passage for internal maintenance of the equipment, allowing maintenance to be carried out without removing a large number of components.

[0036] In summary, this environmentally friendly ballast water management device for ships, through the installation of a protective frame 2, which is connected to the bearing plate 1 with locking bolts 6, and structures such as the clamping plate 13, support rod 16, and connecting sleeve 17, constructs a protective system for core components such as the automatic backwash filter 3, water pump 4, ultraviolet sterilizer 5, and electrical control box 7. The protective frame 2 can withstand the impact of waves, vibration, and humid environments during ship transportation, preventing internal electronic components from getting damp and mechanical parts from loosening and deforming. It solves the problem that traditional devices, due to their exposed structure and lack of effective protection, are easily affected by harsh working conditions, affecting their operation and lifespan, thus ensuring the long-term stable operation of the device. The frame 8, sealing plate 9, guide rod 14, and other structures allow the sealing plate 9 to slide flexibly, facilitating operators to control the control panel of the electrical control box 7 through the clearance slot 10. The inspection plate 11, in conjunction with the inspection slot 12, provides a convenient passage for internal maintenance of the equipment, allowing maintenance to be performed without removing a large number of components. Compared to traditional devices, this system simplifies operation and maintenance processes, reduces operational difficulty, and improves efficiency, making daily use and troubleshooting easier. A magnetic plate 18 is embedded in the inner wall of the frame 8, and the sealing plate 9, made of magnetic metal, is magnetically attracted, eliminating the need for additional locking structures. This allows the sealing plate 9 to stably adhere to the frame 8, simplifying its opening and closing. Compared to traditional bolt and clip fixing methods, this system is more convenient, saves opening and closing time, and provides stable and reliable magnetic fixation, preventing loosening due to ship vibrations, thus ensuring the protective effect on the control panel of the electrical control box 7. The guide rod 14 inside the frame 8 slides with the guide hole 15 of the sealing plate 9, providing precise guidance for the movement of the sealing plate 9 and preventing it from shifting or jamming during sliding. This ensures stable shielding and easy opening of the control panel of the electrical control box 7.
