Description

TRAP FOR CRUSTACEANS WITH A GPS NAVIGATION SYSTEM
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to fishing equipment and, in particular, to an apparatus for capturing crustaceans using a submersible trap that, once the animal is captured, floats on the surface, thus keeping the animal alive and visible for the users. The device contains a marine buoy for geographical localisation and movement sensors that activate the capture and floatation system. It also includes a propeller engine system, which moves the apparatus to the boat guided by a GPS navigation system, which indicates the destination coordinates, these coordinates are programmed from the boat, or using a wireless or mobile devices.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The current problem for independent fishermen, fishery employees, boat owners and other fishermen lies in the movement of the crustacean traps, whether due to currents, the catch itself or outsiders, which causes the loss thereof and cost of resources to search for them. The manufacture thereof also makes them hard to transport since they tend to be large and, in some cases, heavy, which also cause its deterioration due to mishandling and transport.
Inventions that have characteristics such as flexibility, retractable and expandable configuration that make it easier for fishermen to transport and place them on the sea floor, are known in the state of the art.
In particular, the patent US2005/0198892A1 describes an underwater trap that has entrances with a system that prevents the animal from escaping through a plastic- based design.
Patent US5946850 uses a mechanism with multiple entrances, which is submerged and prevents the crustaceans from escaping. Another of the existing inventions is patent US 71 11427B1 , which describes a lobster trap with different sections and a cover with a latch opening to remove the captured animals.
Patent US 82919034 B2 uses a geolocation system and a buoy on the surface that gives the location of the trap connected to the Internet.
Patent US537708 shows a device for capturing aquatic fauna, which has entrances and a side opening spring system for the capture chamber. Our invention has a latch opening method located on the upper portion of the capture chamber.
Patent US5581930, which is similar to the present invention, is an apparatus and method for detecting the presence of fish and other underwater objects, includes underwater sensor assembly. The sensor assembly transmits signals corresponding to such factors to an above water circuit which provides an output signal. The underwater sensor assemblies are mounted on a fishing rod or outrigger pole to detect fishing line vibration or rod movement.
Although these patents describe apparatuses that contain nets designed for capturing fish, the aforementioned technique does not provide automatic systems with sensors that enable the reel line to be quickly and safely pulled in. The present invention seeks to reinforce the capture system, protecting the captured crustacean at all times during the process and preventing it from escaping, by applying an automatic floatation system which is activated through the capture of the same. The proposal provides the ability to move the trap towards the intended destination without fishermen having to fetch it.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a mechanism for capturing crustaceans by means of a double compartment trap, which captures the animal and keeps it alive by moving it away from other predators.
A movement sensor assembly is located in the entrances of the cage, which send a signal to the central mechanism once the signals are captured, which activates the floatation mechanism when the signals from all the entrances are received.
The floatation mechanism then fills the floats located on the upper portion of the trap with air, which lifts the trap following the path of the guide rope attached to the marine buoy located on the surface.
Another object of the invention is to give the location of the trap to radars located on the boats and to GPS. The buoy has an integrated GPS in order to have a record of the most accurate location and the movement thereof, a radar antenna, internal battery and solar panels to power said functions.
The entrances to the trap have a single entry design similar to a cone with an exit, which becomes narrower, thus making it hard for the animal to exit but facilitating the entry thereof.
Another object of the invention is to be made of materials that resist sea water and river water, and be made with mesh and lightweight materials to ensure it keeps its shape underwater and keep the fauna alive once captured.
Another object of the invention is to be able to move from its original position, which is generated through wireless signals from a specific place by means of a GPS navigation system, which activates the propeller system towards the destination coordinates, these coordinated being sent from the boat, or by a wireless device, or by a mobile device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Figures 1-3 show the apparatus (1) for capturing crustaceans of the present invention arranged in a fishing zone. As may be seen, said apparatus (1) comprises: a floatation platform (110) that enables the apparatus to be kept afloat on the surface of the water of the fishing zone; a trap (200) for capturing crustaceans that is configured to be submerged in the water whilst the floatation platform (1 10) is kept afloat; a collection mechanism (101) or immersion mechanism, which enables said trap (200) to surface along with the floatation platform (1 10); and a GPS navigation control unit (106) which enables the capture device to be guided towards destination coordinates.
In order to know the location of the apparatus (1) at all times, the floatation platform (110) comprises an antenna (102) which enables it to be detected via radar. Said antenna (102) incorporates wireless communication functions to communicate with other electronic components of the apparatus (1), such as the collection mechanism (101) for example. In order to move the apparatus (1) towards the fishing zone, or return to the boat, the apparatus (1) comprises a propeller engine (105) which is positioned on the floatation platform (1 10) to facilitate the movement thereof.
The floatation platform (1 10) and the trap (200) are designed to ensure the correct coupling thereof during the moving operations, as well as enabling the decoupling thereof when starting to immerse the trap and when delivering the catch at the end destination. In order to do so, they have a joining mechanism (120) comprising a frame, the shape and contour of which enable the trap (200) to be housed and correctly secured.
As may be seen in figure 3, in order to prevent it from moving on the sea floor, the trap (200) has an anchor (210) arranged under the same.
As may be seen in figures 4-6, the trap (200) comprises four entrances (201) that enable crustaceans to enter from an entry area (202) to a capture area (203) that prevents them from exiting. Each one of these entrances (201) is cone-shaped, with a larger diameter in the entry area (202) to facilitate the entry of the animal, and with a smaller diameter in the capture area (203) so that it is narrower and prevents them from exiting the trap (200).
As may be seen in figure 4, the trap (200) has two portions (220) with latch opening secured to the upper portion in order to facilitate the removal of the crustaceans.
To determine the precise moment at which to initiate the automatic collection of the traps (200) such that the catch obtained is acceptable, each one of the entrances (201) comprises a movement sensor (204) configured to send a signal to the recovery mechanism (300) when the presence of crustaceans is detected.
The central unit or CPU of said collection mechanism (300) receives said signals and is put on stand-by until a previously pre-established acceptable number of catches is reached. At this time, the collection mechanism (300) is activated in order to make the trap (200) surface, as shown in figure 7.
In order to ensure the trap (200) surfaces along with the floatation platform (1 10), the collection system (300) that joins the floatation platform (1 10) to the trap (200) with a fastening ring (301) arranged on the trap (200) in order to join the mechanical cable (302). Said mechanical cable (302) acts as a guide for the trap (200) so that it directly reaches the joining mechanism (120) and is coupled in this way to the floatation platform (110).
Figure 8 shows the floatation platform (110) when the trap (200) is submerged.
Figures 1-8 also show the main steps or stages of the method for capturing crustaceans of the present invention. Said method comprises the following steps: a) move the apparatus (1) formed by the assembly of the floatation platform (110) and trap (200) for capturing crustaceans to the fishing zone, figure 8; b) keep the apparatus (1) afloat on the water of the fishing zone, figure 1 ; c) submerge the trap (200) in the water, figure 3; d) activate a collection system (300) so that said trap (200) surfaces along with the floatation platform (110), figure 7; and e) guide the apparatus (1) towards destination coordinates by using an air control unit for GPS navigation (106) equipped therein, so that the trap (200) is moved to the destination coordinates autonomously, figure 8.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment, stage c) comprises the following steps: c.1) decouple the trap (200) from the floatation platform (1 10); and c.2) enable the sinking thereof into the water via the action exerted by gravity.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment, stage d) comprises the following steps: d.1) detect the presence of crustaceans in the trap (200), figures 4-6; d.2) send one or more signals to the collection mechanism (300) for the presence of crustaceans in the trap (200), figures 4-6; d.3) activation of the collection system (300) when a reference amount of crustaceans is reached, in order for the trap (200) to be coupled with the flotation platform (110), figure 7; and d.4) make the trap (200) surface along with the floatation platform (110), in this case being helped by a mechanical cable (302) that joins the floatation platform (110) to the trap (200) and that acts as a guide, figure 7.
