Description

Oppfinnelsen angår en anordning for drift og vedlikehold av oppdriftsmerd for fisk, slik det framgår av den innledende del av patentkrav 1. The invention relates to a device for operation and maintenance of buoyancy cages for fish, as appears from the introductory part of patent claim 1.

Bakgrunn Background

Oppdrettsnæringen har i dag store utfordringer med hensyn til daglig drift og ikke minst behandling og forebygging av lakselus-problemet. Dagens lusebehandlinger er kostbare og ressurskrevende, og medfører enorme ringvirkninger på tap av tilvekst og dårligere fôrfaktor på toppen av økt dødelighet, dårlig fiskehelse og reduserte utsett. Andre utfordringer er rengjøring av notvegg for å fjerne begroing, alger og krepsdyr uten å skade nota. En annen utfordring er å skaffe friskt lusefritt vann. The farming industry today has major challenges with regard to daily operations and not least the treatment and prevention of the salmon lice problem. Today's lice treatments are expensive and resource-intensive, and cause huge knock-on effects on loss of growth and poorer feed factor on top of increased mortality, poor fish health and reduced stocks. Other challenges are cleaning the net wall to remove fouling, algae and crustaceans without damaging the net. Another challenge is to obtain fresh, lice-free water.

NO 341213 B1, FI 43365 B og CN 206744294 U beskriver ulike eksemler på tilførsel av fôr under vann. NO 341213 B1, FI 43365 B and CN 206744294 U describe various examples of supplying feed under water.

GB 2286780 A og NO 337292 B1viser ulike anordninger for å fjerne uønskede elementer i vannet i oppdrettsmerder, mens JP 2011125262 A beskriver en notvasker. GB 2286780 A and NO 337292 B1 show various devices for removing unwanted elements in the water in breeding cages, while JP 2011125262 A describes a groove washer.

NO 332589 B1, NO 338389 B1, NO 332341 B1 og NO175341B er eksempler på publikasjoner som beskriver hvordan pumpe vann fra undersiden av oppdrettsmerder. NO 332589 B1, NO 338389 B1, NO 332341 B1 and NO175341B are examples of publications that describe how to pump water from the underside of breeding cages.

WO 2010015852 A2 og NO 330863 B1 beskriver hvordan en kan flytte anordninger lokalisert i en oppdrettsmerd ved hjelp av vinsjer. WO 2010015852 A2 and NO 330863 B1 describe how devices located in a breeding pen can be moved using winches.

Formål Purpose

Et formål med oppfinnelsen er å anvise en anordning som løser oppgavene skissert foran på en mer effektiv, kompakt og rimelig måte enn den kjente teknikk. Et annet formål med oppfinnelsen er å redusere energiforbruket under daglig drift og bedre fiskehelsen. One purpose of the invention is to provide a device that solves the tasks outlined above in a more efficient, compact and affordable way than the known technique. Another purpose of the invention is to reduce energy consumption during daily operation and improve fish health.

Oppfinnelsen The invention

De ovennevnte formål oppnås med en anordning i henhold til den karakteriserende del av patentkrav 1. Ytterligere fordelaktige trekk framgår av de uselvstendige patentkravene. The above-mentioned purposes are achieved with a device according to the characterizing part of patent claim 1. Further advantageous features appear from the independent patent claims.

Oppsummering Summary

Oppfinnelsen anviser en anordning som løser flere av oppgavene som i dag løses med separate innretninger. Anordningen er en kombinert flytende fôrings- og arbeidsanordning som omfatter et flytende hovedsakelig sirkulært hus, fortøyd flyttbart inne i oppdrettsmerden. Et sett med posisjoneringsvinsjer er fortrinnsvis arrangert på dekket av huset og forbundet med et sett vaiere, fortrinnsvis fire, som i den andre enden er festet til merdens flytering. På denne måten kan fôringsog arbeidsanordningen flyttes rundt til ethvert punkt inne i merden alt etter hvilke oppgaver som ønskes utført. The invention describes a device that solves several of the tasks that are currently solved with separate devices. The device is a combined floating feeding and working device comprising a floating mainly circular house, moored movably inside the rearing pen. A set of positioning winches is preferably arranged on the deck of the house and connected by a set of cables, preferably four, which are attached at the other end to the cage's float ring. In this way, the feeding and working device can be moved around to any point inside the cage, depending on which tasks are desired to be carried out.

Det sirkulære huset oppviser for det første en rengjøringsanordning, som tjener til å rengjøre den innvendige notveggen og samle opp slam, krepsdyr, alger og annet fast materiale i en tilknyttet beholder før vannet slippes ut tilbake til merden igjen. Denne rengjøringsanordningen tjener også som et filter for kontinuerlig eller periodisk utfiltrering av lus og parasitter mens huset flyttes rundt i merden. Dette lusefilteret kan erstatte dagens lusebehandlinger, eller benyttes som et supplement. The circular house firstly features a cleaning device, which serves to clean the inner groove wall and collect sludge, crustaceans, algae and other solid material in an associated container before the water is released back into the cage. This cleaning device also serves as a filter for continuous or periodic filtering out of lice and parasites while the house is moved around the cage. This lice filter can replace current lice treatments, or be used as a supplement.

Den kombinerte fôrings- og arbeidsanordningen i henhold til oppfinnelsen oppviser også en sjøvannspumpe som henter friskt oksygenrikt vann fra en dybde under lusebeltet. The combined feeding and working device according to the invention also features a seawater pump which draws fresh oxygen-rich water from a depth below the lice belt.

Den kombinerte fôrings- og arbeidsanordningen i henhold til oppfinnelsen oppviser dessuten en fôringsanordning som sprer fôr under vann, fortrinnsvis ved en dybde under lusebeltet. Fôret er fortrinnsvis lagret på dekket av fôrings- og arbeidsanordningen. The combined feeding and working device according to the invention also has a feeding device which spreads feed under water, preferably at a depth below the lice belt. The feed is preferably stored on the cover of the feeding and working device.

I en foretrukket utførelse er alle vinsjer og pumper drevet av elektrisk strøm opplagret i akkumulatorer om bord i huset, der akkumulatorene lades ved hjelp av solcellepaneler arrangert på dekk eller i rekkverket på huset. In a preferred embodiment, all winches and pumps are powered by electric current stored in accumulators on board the house, where the accumulators are charged by means of solar panels arranged on the deck or in the railing of the house.

Den kombinerte fôrings- og arbeidsanordningen i henhold til oppfinnelsen løser dermed de ovennevnte oppgavene på en enklere, mer effektiv, rimeligere og skånsom måte enn den kjente teknikk. The combined feeding and working device according to the invention thus solves the above-mentioned tasks in a simpler, more efficient, less expensive and gentler way than the known technique.

Figur 1A viser en anordning i henhold til den foreliggende oppfinnelsen illustrert generelt ved henvisningstall 100, heretter benevnt som fôrings- og arbeidsanordningen. Fôrings- og arbeidsanordningen 100 er lokalisert flytende inne i en oppdrettsmerd 500 og er forankret bevegelig i vannskorpa med vaiere 502a, 502b, 502c, 502d (figur 5), fortrinnsvis fire, forbundet med respektive vinsjer 107a, 107b, 107c, 107d (Fig. 4) i oppdrettsmerdens 500 flytering 501. Fôrings- og arbeidsanordningen 100 omfatter videre et hovedsakelig sylindrisk hus 101 med et dekk 103 forsynt med et første ytre rekkverk 109 langs periferien av huset 101 og med en åpning 110 i dekket 103 skjermet av et andre indre rekkverk 102. En leider 104 er arrangert inne i åpningen 110 i dekket 103 for å tillate personell å entre det indre av huset 101 for inspeksjon eller vedlikehold. I den nedre enden av det første ytre rekkverket 109 er det arrangert et antall dreneringsuttak 106 langs periferien av huset 101 for å drenere vann fra dekket. Fôrings- og arbeidsanordningen er naturligvis forsynt med en oppdrift som sørger for at dreneringsuttakene 106 ligger over vannskorpa. Figure 1A shows a device according to the present invention illustrated generally by reference number 100, hereinafter referred to as the feeding and working device. The feeding and working device 100 is located floating inside a rearing cage 500 and is anchored movably in the water crust with cables 502a, 502b, 502c, 502d (figure 5), preferably four, connected to respective winches 107a, 107b, 107c, 107d (Fig. 4) in the floating ring 501 of the breeding pen 500. The feeding and working device 100 further comprises a mainly cylindrical housing 101 with a deck 103 provided with a first outer railing 109 along the periphery of the housing 101 and with an opening 110 in the deck 103 shielded by a second inner railing 102. A ladder 104 is arranged inside the opening 110 in the cover 103 to allow personnel to enter the interior of the housing 101 for inspection or maintenance. At the lower end of the first outer railing 109, a number of drainage outlets 106 are arranged along the periphery of the housing 101 to drain water from the deck. The feeding and working device is naturally provided with a buoyancy which ensures that the drainage outlets 106 lie above the water crust.

Fôrings- og arbeidsanordningen oppviser videre en rengjøringsanordning 200 arrangert bevegelig horisontalt og vertikalt langs periferien av huset 101, og en vanntilførselsanordning 300 arrangert langs periferien av huset 101. For å skape vektbalanse, er fortrinnsvis rengjøringsanordningen 200 og vanntilførselsanordningen 300 arrangert på diametralt motsatt side av hverandre. En fôringsanordning 400 er lokalisert i åpningen 110 i senter av fôrings- og arbeidsanordningen 100, arrangert til å spre fôr i oppdrettsmerden nede i sjøen. The feeding and working device further exhibits a cleaning device 200 arranged movably horizontally and vertically along the periphery of the housing 101, and a water supply device 300 arranged along the periphery of the housing 101. In order to create weight balance, the cleaning device 200 and the water supply device 300 are preferably arranged on diametrically opposite sides of each other . A feeding device 400 is located in the opening 110 in the center of the feeding and working device 100, arranged to spread feed in the rearing pen down in the sea.

Fortsatt med særlig henvisning til figur 1A og 1B, omfatter rengjøringsanordningen 200 en dyseanordning indikert generelt ved 204, som omfatter en dysemunning 205, en slambeholder 206 og en filterpose 208. Filterposen 208 har en maskevidde som er tilstrekkelig liten til å hindre slam fra begroing, samt krepsdyr, lus og parasitter, fra å slippe ut gjennom filterposen, typisk omtrent 150 mikrometer. En vannpumpe 207 er arrangert mellom slambeholderen 206 og dysemunningen 205 for å pumpe vann inn gjennom dysemunningen 205, videre til slambeholderen 206 og ut gjennom filterposen 208. Rengjøringsanordningen 200 er opphengt i en kranbom 201 via vaiere 203 og vinsjehus 202. Kranbommen kan med fordel være opplagret svingbart i horisontalplanet. På denne måten kan dysemunningen, som vender vekk fra merd-driftsanordningen, beveges langs notveggen i en oppdrettsmerd vertikalt og horisontalt og fjerne begroing på samme. Rengjøringsanordningen 200 kan også tjene som en filteranordning for fjerning av lus og parasitter i sjøen ved å føre fôrings- og arbeidsanordningen rundt omkring inne i oppdrettsmerden 500 mens vannpumpen 207 kontinuerlig pumper vann inn gjennom dysemunningen, filtrerer ut lus og parasitter og lagrer i slambeholderen 206, før det rensede vannet sendes ut tilbake til merden 400 gjennom filterposen 208. Når slambeholderen 206 med filterposen 208 er full, hales fôrings- og arbeidsanordningen 100 inn til flyteringen 501 der den heises opp av sjøen og tømmes for slam, lus og parasitter, eller erstattes med en tom slambeholder 206 med filterpose 208. Still with particular reference to Figures 1A and 1B, the cleaning device 200 comprises a nozzle device indicated generally at 204, which comprises a nozzle mouth 205, a sludge container 206 and a filter bag 208. The filter bag 208 has a mesh size that is sufficiently small to prevent sludge from fouling, as well as crustaceans, lice and parasites, from escaping through the filter bag, typically about 150 micrometres. A water pump 207 is arranged between the mud container 206 and the nozzle mouth 205 to pump water in through the nozzle mouth 205, on to the mud container 206 and out through the filter bag 208. The cleaning device 200 is suspended in a crane boom 201 via cables 203 and winch housing 202. The crane boom can advantageously be pivotably stored in the horizontal plane. In this way, the nozzle mouth, which faces away from the cage operating device, can be moved along the groove wall in a breeding cage vertically and horizontally and remove fouling on the same. The cleaning device 200 can also serve as a filter device for removing lice and parasites in the sea by moving the feeding and working device around inside the rearing pen 500 while the water pump 207 continuously pumps water in through the nozzle mouth, filters out lice and parasites and stores in the sludge container 206, before the purified water is sent out back to the cage 400 through the filter bag 208. When the mud container 206 with the filter bag 208 is full, the feeding and working device 100 is hauled in to the floating ring 501 where it is lifted out of the sea and emptied of mud, lice and parasites, or replaced with an empty sludge container 206 with filter bag 208.

Vanntilførselsanordningen 300 illustrert i figur 1, er opplagret bevegelig vertikalt og horisontalt i en kranbom 301 via et vinsjehus 302 og vaiere 303 tilsvarende rengjøringsanordningen 200. Vanntilførselsanordningen omfatter et forlengerrør 306 med en sjøvannspumpe 307, her arrangert i den nedre enden av røret, og en dyseanordning 304 arrangert i den øvre enden av forlengerrøret 306 og oppviser en vannsprederdyse 305. Forlengerrøret 306 har en lengde som er tilstrekkelig til å kunne hente friskt sjøvann fra en dybde under det såkalte lusebeltet, det vil si minst omtrent 6 meter. I figur 1B er kranbommen og vinsjene utelatt, og vanntilførselsanordningen 300 er opphengt i en fiksert høydeposisjon med vaierne 303 med dyseutløp 305 under vannskorpen. På denne måten tjener vanntilførselsanordningen 300 også som en strømsetter i tilfeller der oppdrettsmerden er lokalisert i et område med liten gjennomstrømning. The water supply device 300 illustrated in figure 1 is stored movably vertically and horizontally in a crane boom 301 via a winch housing 302 and cables 303 corresponding to the cleaning device 200. The water supply device comprises an extension pipe 306 with a seawater pump 307, here arranged at the lower end of the pipe, and a nozzle device 304 arranged at the upper end of the extension pipe 306 and has a water spreader nozzle 305. The extension pipe 306 has a length which is sufficient to be able to retrieve fresh seawater from a depth below the so-called lice belt, that is to say at least approximately 6 metres. In Figure 1B, the crane boom and winches are omitted, and the water supply device 300 is suspended in a fixed height position with the wires 303 with nozzle outlet 305 below the water crust. In this way, the water supply device 300 also serves as a current setter in cases where the breeding cage is located in an area with little flow.

Et arrangement med solceller 105 er i figur 1A vist montert på dekket 103 av fôrings- og arbeidsanordningen 100. I en alternativ utførelsesform er solcellene 105, som illustrert i figur 1B, arrangert i det første ytre rekkverket 109. Solcellearrangementet er forbundet elektrisk med et sett med batterier (ikke vist) arrangert i bunnen av huset 101 i et batterikammer 108 (figur 3). Batteriene har tilstrekkelig kapasitet til å drive vannpumpene, fôrpumpen og vinsjene arrangert om bord i fôrings- og arbeidsanordningen 100. Utførelsesformen med batterier i bunnen av huset 101 sørger for et lavt tyngdepunkt og god stabilitet. Alternativt kan vannpumpene, fôrpumpen og vinsjene forsynes med elektrisk eller hydraulisk drift utenfra via kabler, hvor batterikammeret i stedet utgjøres av ballast. An arrangement of solar cells 105 is shown in Figure 1A mounted on the deck 103 of the feeding and working device 100. In an alternative embodiment, the solar cells 105, as illustrated in Figure 1B, are arranged in the first outer railing 109. The solar cell arrangement is connected electrically with a set with batteries (not shown) arranged in the bottom of the housing 101 in a battery chamber 108 (Figure 3). The batteries have sufficient capacity to drive the water pumps, the feed pump and the winches arranged on board in the feeding and working device 100. The embodiment with batteries in the bottom of the housing 101 ensures a low center of gravity and good stability. Alternatively, the water pumps, feed pump and winches can be supplied with electrical or hydraulic operation from outside via cables, where the battery chamber is instead made up of ballast.

Figur 2 viser et sidesnitt av fôrings- og arbeidsanordningen 100 med fôringsanordningen 400. Fôringsanordning 400 omfatter et hovedsakelig vertikalt-ragende rør 401, fortrinnsvis med en lengde som er tilstrekkelig til at utløpet i nedre ende er lokalisert til en dybde under lusebeltet. Den nedre enden av fôringsrøret 401 oppviser en fordeler 402, her illustrert i form av en trakt, for å spre fôret rundt i sjøen. Fôret lagres fortrinnsvis på dekket 103 av fôrings- og arbeidsanordningen 100 og mates med en fôrpumpe, særlig en skruemater, (ikke vist) gjennom fôringsrøret 401. Et undervannskamera (ikke vist) er med fordel arrangert ved fôringsrøret 401 for å overvåke fisk i merden 500. Et LED-lys er festet nær utløpet av fôringsrøret 401 for å lyssette merden under opptak. Figure 2 shows a side section of the feeding and working device 100 with the feeding device 400. The feeding device 400 comprises a mainly vertically projecting pipe 401, preferably with a length sufficient for the outlet at the lower end to be located at a depth below the louse belt. The lower end of the feed pipe 401 has a distributor 402, here illustrated in the form of a funnel, to spread the feed around in the sea. The feed is preferably stored on the deck 103 of the feeding and working device 100 and fed with a feed pump, in particular a screw feeder, (not shown) through the feeding pipe 401. An underwater camera (not shown) is advantageously arranged at the feeding pipe 401 to monitor fish in the cage 500 .An LED light is attached near the outlet of the feeding tube 401 to illuminate the cage during recording.

Fôringsrøret 401 er med fordel utformet teleskopisk (ikke vist) for å kunne regulere utmatingsdybden for fôret. The feeding pipe 401 is advantageously designed telescopically (not shown) in order to be able to regulate the discharge depth for the feed.

Et sett med posisjoneringsvinsjer 107a, 107b, 107c, 107d (se særlig figur 4) er arrangert på dekket 103 av fôrings- og posisjoneringsanordningen 100. En posisjoneringsvaier 502a, 502b, 502c, 502d er i én ende festet til de respektive posisjoneringsvinsjene 107a, 107b, 107c, 107d og i en andre ende til flyteringen 501 av oppdrettsmerden 500. Alternativt kan posisjoneringsvinsjene være arrangert i selve flyteringen. Med hjelp av en regulator (ikke vist), kan fôrings- og arbeidsanordningen flyttes rundt til ethvert punkt inne i oppdrettsmerden 500 for å utføre det aktuelle arbeid. Figur 5 og 6 viser huset 100 forankret inne i en oppdrettsmerd 500, sett henholdsvis ovenfra og i perspektiv, med fire vaiere 502a, 502b, 502c og 502d distansert i omkretsretningen av oppdrettsmerden 500 i innbyrdes lik avstand. A set of positioning winches 107a, 107b, 107c, 107d (see particularly Figure 4) is arranged on the deck 103 of the feeding and positioning device 100. A positioning wire 502a, 502b, 502c, 502d is attached at one end to the respective positioning winches 107a, 107b , 107c, 107d and at a second end to the floating ring 501 of the rearing cage 500. Alternatively, the positioning winches can be arranged in the floating ring itself. With the help of a regulator (not shown), the feeding and working device can be moved around to any point inside the rearing pen 500 to perform the work in question. Figures 5 and 6 show the house 100 anchored inside a breeding cage 500, seen respectively from above and in perspective, with four wires 502a, 502b, 502c and 502d spaced in the circumferential direction of the breeding cage 500 at equal distances from each other.

Teknisk effekt Technical effect

Oppfinnelsen har flere fordeler. Lusefjerning kan skje kontinuerlig under daglig drift på en skånsom måte og uten bruk av skadelige kjemikalier. Friskt oksygenrikt vann kan hentes fra en dybde under lusebeltet for å bistå oppgaven med å holde vannet i oppdrettsmerden mest mulig lusefritt. Bruken av akkumulatorer og solcellepaneler eliminerer behovet (for disse oppgavene) for kostbare dieseldrevne strømaggregat med tilhørende drivstoffkostnader. En større mengde fôr kan lagres om bord i fôrings- og arbeidsanordningen og mates ut i sjøen, særlig ved en dybde under lusebeltet. Den geometriske utformingen av huset og dysen på rengjøringsanordningen oppviser ingen skarpe kanter som kan skade notveggen. The invention has several advantages. Lice removal can be carried out continuously during daily operation in a gentle way and without the use of harmful chemicals. Fresh oxygen-rich water can be obtained from a depth below the lice belt to assist in the task of keeping the water in the rearing pen as lice-free as possible. The use of accumulators and solar panels eliminates the need (for these tasks) for expensive diesel-powered generators with associated fuel costs. A larger amount of feed can be stored on board in the feeding and working device and fed out into the sea, particularly at a depth below the lice belt. The geometric design of the housing and the nozzle of the cleaning device have no sharp edges that could damage the groove wall.
