Description

Método de cultivo del mejillón e instalación para la puesta en práctica del mismo.Mussel cultivation method and installation for the implementation of it.

Objeto de la invenciónObject of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a una serie de mejoras introducidas en el clásico método de cultivo del mejillón mediante bateas, con el que se consigue incrementar de forma muy considerable los resultados tanto en la cría como en el engorde del mejillón.The present invention relates to a series of improvements introduced in the classic mussel culture method through bats, with which it is possible to increase very considerable results in both breeding and fattening of mussel.

La invención concierne también a la instalación que permite la puesta en práctica de dicho método, el cual se centra fundamentalmente en movilizar los soportes de los mejillones en orden a conseguir una mayor uniformidad en su nutrición.The invention also concerns the installation which allows the implementation of said method, which is focuses primarily on mobilizing mussel brackets in order to achieve greater uniformity in their nutrition.

Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention

El cultivo de los mejillones constituye una práctica generalizada, utilizándose para ello bateas en las que una estructura flotante soporta una pluralidad de cuerdas a las que se mantienen adheridos los mejillones durante todo el periodo de cría y engorde de los mismos.The cultivation of mussels constitutes a generalized practice, using bats in which a  floating structure supports a plurality of strings to which keep mussels attached throughout the breeding period and fattening them.

El carácter estático de dichas cuerdas trae consigo un posicionamiento también estático para los mejillones, de manera que las posiciones adoptadas por los mismos resultan más favorables en unos casos que en otros, lo que trae consigo un desarrollo irregular que hace que, en función de tal posición y al cabo de un determinado periodo de tiempo, los mejillones de una misma batea resulten acusadamente desiguales entre sí, tanto en tamaño como en calidad.The static character of these strings brings I get a static positioning for mussels, from  so that the positions taken by them are more favorable in some cases than in others, which brings with it a irregular development that, depending on such position and at after a certain period of time, the mussels of a same bat result sharply uneven with each other, both in Size as in quality.

Descripción de la invenciónDescription of the invention

El método que la invención propone, partiendo de la idea básica y convencional de sustentar los mejillones de cuerdas colgantes de un soporte flotante, resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, y se basa en dotar a dichas cuerdas de un movimiento cíclico y espacial, que afecta a todas las cuerdas de la batea, de manera que todos y cada uno de los mejillones asociados a dichas cuerdas adoptan posiciones cambiantes en el seno del agua, ocupando desde las posiciones más favorables a las más desfavorables, pasando por todas las posiciones intermedias, de forma cíclica y sin preferencias de unos sobre otros, lo que uniformiza el acceso tanto al oxígeno como al alimento y trae como resultado un mejor crecimiento y engorde y unos resultados finales también más homogéneos.The method proposed by the invention, based on the basic and conventional idea of supporting mussels of Hanging ropes of a floating stand, solves shape the problem stated above is fully satisfactory, and it is based on providing these strings with a cyclic movement and space, which affects all ropes of the bat, so that each and every one of the mussels associated with these strings they adopt changing positions within the water, occupying from the most favorable positions to the most unfavorable, going through all intermediate positions, cyclically and without preferences of each other, which unifies access both to oxygen as to food and results in better growth and fattening and final results also more homogeneous.

En cuanto a la instalación para la puesta en práctica de dicho método, ésta se materializa en una serie de caminos de rodadura, establecidos sobre la cara inferior de la estructura flotante, que adoptan la trayectoria cíclica anteriormente citados y sobre los que se deslizan respectivas cadenas, accionadas por un moto-reductor, incorporando dicha cadena argollas de las que cuelgan las correspondientes cuerdas, con lo que se consigue no sólo un desplazamiento longitudinal de dichas cuerdas, en sentido paralelo a la dirección de la corriente del agua, sino además un cambio de orientación en dichas cuerdas, mediante giro sobre sí mismas, para que todos los mejillones tengan la oportunidad de ocupar lugares destacados con respecto al citado flujo de las corrientes marinas.As for the installation for commissioning practice of this method, this materializes in a series of raceways, established on the underside of the floating structure, which adopt the cyclic path previously cited and on which they slide respectively chains, driven by a motor-reducer, said chain incorporating rings from which hang the corresponding ropes, which achieves not only a longitudinal displacement of said strings, in parallel to the direction of the water flow, but also a change of orientation in said strings, by turning on themselves, to that all mussels have the opportunity to occupy places highlighted with respect to the mentioned flow of currents Marine

Así pues, sobre la plataforma de la batea se establecen una especia de "carruseles" de ida y vuelta, paralelos entre sí y suficientemente distanciados, que permiten que las cuerdas recorran la batea de uno a otro extremo y viceversa, propiciando sucesivamente los lugares que mejor favorezcan la cría y engorde, todo ello sin mover la batea de su fondeo ni realizar modificaciones costosas.So, on the platform of the bat is they set up a round-trip "carousel" spice, parallel to each other and sufficiently spaced, which allow the ropes run across the bat from one end to the other and vice versa, successively promoting places that best favor breeding and fattening, all without moving the bat of your anchor or performing expensive modifications.

Realización preferente de la invenciónPreferred Embodiment of the Invention

A la vista de las figuras reseñadas, concretamente de la figura 1, se observa como el método de cultivo que se preconiza consiste en dotar a las cuerdas de la estructura (1) de la batea, que se mantiene sobre el agua mediante flotadores (2), de un movimiento cíclico (3), con dos tramos rectilíneos, paralelos y sustancialmente próximos que recorren toda la longitud de la batea, en dirección paralela a la corriente de agua, por ejemplo con el sentido de movimiento representado por las flechas (5) en dicha figura 1. De esta manera, es decir merced a la movilidad permanente de las cuerdas que sustentan los mejillones, éstos últimos cambian permanentemente de posición con respecto a la corriente de agua (4), ocupando todas las posiciones posibles, desde la más a la menos favorable, consiguiéndose a su vez que todos los mejillones dispongan, a lo largo del tiempo, del mismo grado de accesibilidad a las posiciones más o menos ventajosas.In view of the figures outlined, specifically of figure 1, it is observed as the cultivation method which is recommended is to provide the ropes of the structure (1) of the bat, which is held above the water by means of floats (2), of a cyclic movement (3), with two straight sections, parallel and substantially close along the entire length of the bat, in a direction parallel to the water current, by example with the direction of movement represented by the arrows (5) in said figure 1. In this way, that is, thanks to the permanent mobility of the ropes that support the mussels, the latter permanently change positions with respect to the water stream (4), occupying all possible positions, from the most to the least favorable, getting in turn that all mussels have, over time, the same degree of accessibility to more or less advantageous positions.

En la práctica esto se consigue, tal como se observa en las figuras 2 y 3, mediante caminos de rodadura (6), convenientemente solidarizados a la cara inferior de la estructura (7) de la batea, la sustentada mediante los flotadores (2), camino de rodadura en el que juega una cadena transportadora (8), también cíclica, que describe la trayectoria de cada una de las líneas (3) representadas en la figura 1, siendo dicha cadena transportadora (8) accionada por un mecanismo de translación (9), e incorporando una pluralidad de argollas (10) de las que quedan suspendidas respectivas cuerdas (11), para agarre de los mejillones.In practice this is achieved, as is observed in figures 2 and 3, by rolling paths (6), conveniently sympathetic to the underside of the structure (7) of the bat, supported by the floats (2), road of tread in which a conveyor chain (8) plays, also cyclic, which describes the trajectory of each of the lines (3) represented in figure 1, said conveyor chain being (8) operated by a translation mechanism (9), and incorporating a plurality of rings (10) of which are suspended respective ropes (11), for gripping mussels.

Los diferentes caminos de rodadura (6) adoptan una disposición paralela, tal como se observa especialmente en la figura 2, y a través de sus extremos conectan con los mecanismos de translación (9) que se extienden de lado a lado de la batea, uno de los cuales recibe el movimiento de un motor (12), a través de una reductora (13), si bien pueden situarse motores con sus reductoras en ambos mecanismos de translación (9).The different rolling paths (6) adopt a parallel arrangement, as observed especially in the Figure 2, and through its ends connect with the mechanisms of translation (9) that extend from side to side of the bat, one of which receives the movement of an engine (12), through a gearbox (13), although motors with their gearboxes can be placed in both translation mechanisms (9).
