    DESCRIPTION

    SUBMERSIBLE VIVERO FOR MOLLUSCS

    TECHNICAL SCOPE 5

    The invention relates to a submersible nursery for mollusks, which allows its use for multitrophic cultivation and / or in auxiliary storage and purification industries of the crop, which can be submerged and emerge quickly to protect against inclement weather and keep its load unharmed . 10

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

    A relatively recent trend in aquaculture is the cultivation of bivalve molluscs, oysters and mussels, mainly for human consumption. 15 These relatively sedentary mollusks are tied to ropes that hang on floating structures. Floating structures are usually anchored in the body of available water, rivers, lakes or seas and preferably in the vicinity of the mainland.
     twenty
    In order to permanently control and regulate the nursery's float height above the water level and compensate for the increase in crop weight, ES8602346 discloses a nursery for shellfish farming with a frame carried by floats that include valves for control and regulation of the air passage that is insufflated from the outside and a lower opening of water inlet or outlet. 25

    In another case, WO8900004 discloses a shellfish culture system in a support that can be submerged with the shellfish load, guided in its vertical displacements on a fixed structure to the seabed and whose rise to the surface of the water, or its descent, It is controlled by the entry or escape of air and water in the floats that support the shell of the mollusks.

    More recent proposals, including those of the requesting entity itself, complement the nurseries with electronic automatons to manage the thrust force of the floats that, under the carrier platform of the crop, extend 35 longitudinal, hollow, with watertight compartments and with valvular means for
    air and water inlet and outlet, so that the depth and horizontality of the nursery can be adjusted. They also provide remote control and communication and data transmission systems to maneuver the equipment remotely, in addition to energy systems for feeding the nursery components. 5

    However, a particular problem of water flow management is presented with the conventional valvular means of entry and exit of the fluids and in their arrangement in the floats of the nursery and, with it, the control of the immediate immersion and immersion. 10

    OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

    The objective of the present invention is to provide a means of regulating the rapid entry and exit of water to the extreme compartments of each float in the nursery, providing rapid sinking and emersion thereof. Water flow management is done remotely and independently for each float.

    DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
     twenty
    The problems derived from the current state of the art mentioned above can be solved by means of a submersible nursery for mollusks as the invention proposes, which can be conditioned for the cultivation or rearing of fish, octopus or other marine species in addition to allowing multitrophic cultivation other auxiliary uses for storage or purification of species and constructed, in accordance with known technique, with air-tight floats, totally or partially hollow, provided with valves for the entry and exit of water to regulate their sinking in addition to valves for the injection and air escape. The novel feature that the invention provides lies mainly in the incorporation of valvular bodies that cross the floats vertically, with water openings in their lower base and with water passage holes present in their peripheral wall. The holes to be sealed by the expansion of an inflatable shutter powered by low pressure air. Water flow management and, consequently, nursery control are thus immediate and rapid.
     35
    Other additional features of the invention are described in the course of this description.

    A submersible mollusc nursery according to the invention can be constructed, in accordance with the technique, with a bearing structure with integrated floats. In a known manner, each float is constructed generally cylindrical hollow and whose length extends from bow to stern in the nursery. Floats including partitions or bulkheads that subdivide it into separate compartments and compartments prepared to be flooded and reduce float buoyancy, or to be emptied of water and increase buoyancy. 10

    The extreme compartments, located forward and aft of the floats incorporate valves commanded from the outside in order to allow the entry of air and expulsion of water or, conversely, the escape of air and the entry of water.
     fifteen
    One or more intermediate compartments house the sufficient air load that ensures the immediacy of air transport to the extreme compartments in order to quickly dislodge the water ballasting the floats, for example when rapid emersion of the submerged nursery is required.
     twenty
    The new feature of the invention resides mainly in the incorporation of valvular bodies that extend transversely and vertically in the floats. The valvular bodies procured with water holes in its periphery, conveniently sized according to the required immersion and emersion speeds and in order to ensure the passage to the respective compartment of a certain water flow from lower water openings in the valve body and to allow the exit of the water that, where appropriate, floods and ballast these compartments. The water passage holes subjected to the peripheral expansion of an inflatable plug powered by low pressure air and whose contraction releases the water outlet. The management of the inlet and outlet flow of 30 water to each of the extreme compartments of the floats is independent, fast and efficient. With this, nursery control can be exercised effectively, immediately and quickly.

    According to said new feature and improving the known technique, each float in the nursery incorporates valve bodies that extend transversely and vertically
    inside, at least in the extreme compartments of the floats in the nursery. For better assembly, maintenance or repair, the valvular bodies can be of greater length and extend after crossing inferiorly and superiorly two vertically separated areas on the periphery of the float, for example diametrically opposite. 5

    The valvular bodies, basically generally hollow tubes and of any section, are provided with holes around its peripheral wall to allow the entry of immediate and lower water into the nursery through lower planned water openings in the valvular body and to allow the water outlet that, in its case, floods the compartments. The water openings provided, for example, as an open bottom base of the valvular bodies, or with the appropriate modifications, formed in or near the bottom base of each valve body. The water passage orifices to be sealed by the peripheral expansion of an inflatable plug or pneumatic plug arranged vertically in the valve body, fed by low pressure air and whose contraction releases the water outlet. The pneumatic shutter carried, for example, by a cover, bridge or the like in the upper base of the tubular body.

    Other additional features of the invention pursue independence in the feeding and discharge of fluids, water or compressed air, to each float / float in the nursery. By means of automatons interconnected with each other and conveniently located in the nursery, the bow and stern of the nursery are managed independently through the management of each float and, consequently, the immediate regulation of the sinking, emersion and balancing position 25 of the nursery. In the intermediate compartments of each of the floats a gyroscopic system is located that indicates the unevenness caused in the sea ravages. Creek sensors in the bow and stern compartments of the floats are respectively connected to the control automatons arranged at the bow and stern of the nursery. The data obtained with such auxiliaries allow correcting the nursery leveling. A nursery as said is easily commanded remotely via satellite, radio, GPS or others.

    Pneumatic valves commanded by the automatons located at the bow and stern in the nursery manage the main pneumatic system. A pneumatic valve manages, in each end compartment of the float, the action of the pneumatic shutter
    selected and a second pneumatic valve lets out the air in the compartment when the float is being flooded and the nursery is submerged.

    The compartment, or the intermediate compartments of each float, include quick connectors for compressed air inlet and 5 outlet baipases commanded by pneumatic valves, which allow the injection of compressed air into the bow and stern compartments, in order to procure the evacuation of the ballast of water present inside and thereby allowing the leveling of the nursery or its emersion.
     10
    An example of a submersible nursery made according to the invention allows it to be constructed with a plurality of floats, at least two, of appropriate section and convenient length that can extend from bow to stern in the nursery, properly spaced apart and preferably rigidly interconnected with each other. to form a supporting structure from which the growing ropes hang. 15 Immersion turrets, intended for bow and stern in the nursery, house separate control automatons interconnected with each other and to a data transmitter to independently and remotely manage the bow and stern of the nursery. The supply of compressed air to the intermediate compartment is done through conduits of suitable section and controlled by pneumatic valves. twenty

    It is clear from what has been said that once the nursery has been discharged, and since the water openings of the valvular bodies in the bow and stern compartments are in direct communication with the immediate water under the nursery, water enters through them. while the weight of the nursery is compensated and, where appropriate, the crop. The nursery gradually sinks until the cove sensors and the gyroscopic system transmit the appropriate level and positioning to the respective automatons once the flotation is stabilized. Initiated the process of breeding, the increase of weight of the crop, changes of depth, climatic variations or others, allow to be managed and corrected remotely. 30

    When emptying of the water ballast in the bow compartment is required, for example for the emersion of the nursery or for certain level or inclination corrections notified by the gyroscopic systems and / or the cove sensors, from the bow automaton it is ordered the opening of the compressed air exhaust valve 35 of the pneumatic shutter in the valve body located in the
    bow compartment, causing deflation of the bow, releasing the water through holes of the seal and allowing water to flow through them with the opening of the valves ordered by the bow automaton allows the injection of compressed air to the bow compartment until the water contained inside it is expelled through the water holes 5 and the water openings. Conversely, the same process occurs with respect to the stern when ordered from the automaton located in the stern turret.
