En todos los casos donde se utilizan estructuras auxiliares, se requieren modulos o componentes de dimensiones y pesos muy elevados que dificultan su manipulation y transporte, con lo que obliga a producirlos en las cercanlas del muelle de embarque y posterior puesta en el fondo con medios auxiliares costosos. Por otro lado, los objetivos que cubren muchas de los documentos citados son limitados, bien por estar restringidos a una especie muy concreta o tan generales que su aplicacion a diferentes zonas, persiguiendo objetivos o necesidades mas concretas, es limitada.In all cases where auxiliary structures are used, modules or components of very high dimensions and weights are required that hinder their manipulation and transport, which obliges them to be produced in the vicinity of the boarding pier and later placed at the bottom with auxiliary means expensive. On the other hand, the objectives that cover many of the documents cited are limited, either because they are restricted to a very specific species or so general that their application to different areas, pursuing more specific objectives or needs, is limited.

Description de la inventionDescription of the invention

El modulo de la invention, destinado a la production de arrecifes artificiales para explotacion selectiva de especies de interes, ha sido concebido para resolver la problematica anteriormente expuesta y esta disenado para fondos marinos situados a profundidades entre 10 metros y 20 metros.The module of the invention, intended for the production of artificial reefs for selective exploitation of species of interest, has been conceived to solve the problems previously exposed and is designed for sea beds located at depths between 10 meters and 20 meters.

De forma mas concreta, el sistema de production de arrecife artificial para explotacion selectiva de especies de interes logrado mediante el modulo de la invention, utiliza un sistema de montaje que, por las dimensiones y peso de cada pieza que lo forman, facilita el transporte por carretera desde el centro de production, que puede estar alejado de la costa, y por el sistema de montaje e instalacion del modulo en el fondo, que requiere buques y equipos auxiliares de menores capacidades y costes y no requiere sistemas de anclaje y fondeo. El sistema de montaje de cada modulo no necesita accesorios de montaje ni herramientas.More specifically, the artificial reef production system for selective exploitation of species of interest achieved through the module of the invention uses a mounting system that, due to the dimensions and weight of each piece that forms it, facilitates transport by road from the production center, which may be remote from the coast, and by the module assembly and installation system at the bottom, which requires ships and auxiliary equipment with lower capacities and costs and does not require anchoring and anchoring systems. The mounting system of each module does not require mounting accessories or tools.

De acuerdo con la invention, el modulo para la formation de arrecifes artificiales esta constituido por una serie de piezas prefabricadas independientes de hormigon, que disponen de medios de acoplamiento y fijacion mutuos. Estas piezas independientes, una vez acopladas entre si, delimitan un hueco central y disponen en sus superficies libres, al menos en parte de dichas piezas, de huecos ciegos, adaptados en su forma y dimensiones a las especies cuyo desarrollo se desea fomentar, y de huecos pasantes entre la superficie externa y el hueco central.According to the invention, the module for the formation of artificial reefs is constituted by a series of independent prefabricated concrete pieces, which have mutual coupling and fixing means. These independent pieces, once coupled to each other, delimit a central hole and have in their free surfaces, at least in part of said pieces, blind holes, adapted in their shape and dimensions to the species whose development is to be encouraged, and through holes between the outer surface and the central hole.

De este modo, los modulos formados con las piezas de la invention dispondran de huecos disenados en funcion de las especies cuyo desarrollo se quiera fomentar, incluyendo ademas huecos que faciliten la renovation del agua en el interior del modulo, asl como el acceso de nutrientes por efecto de los vortices generados por corrientes o mareas.In this way, the modules formed with the pieces of the invention will have holes designed according to the species whose development is to be encouraged, including also holes that facilitate the renewal of water inside the module, as well as the access of nutrients by effect of vortices generated by currents or tides.

Los medios de acoplamiento y fijacion de las piezas que conforman el modulo de la invencion estan situados en superficies adosables de las piezas prefabricadas que conforman el modulo. Estos medios de acoplamiento comprenden varillas que sobresalen de al menos una de las superficies adosables entre las piezas del modulo y en orificios enfrentables situados en superficies opuestas.The coupling and fixing means of the pieces that make up the module of the invention are located on arable surfaces of the prefabricated parts that make up the module. These coupling means comprise rods that protrude from at least one of the attachable surfaces between the module parts and in facing holes located on opposite surfaces.

Segun una posible forma de ejecucion, el modulo adopta forma cubica y esta constituido por una pieza base, en forma de placa cuadrada y por cuatro piezas de pared, tambien en forma de placas cuadradas. Las cuatro piezas de pared se apoyan en la pieza base y delimitan entre las mismas una cara abierta que esta opuesta a dicha placa base. La pieza base es portadora de las varillas que entran a formar parte de los medios de acoplamiento y fijacion, varillas que sobresalen perpendicularmente de una de las superficies mayores, sobre la que apoyaran las piezas de pared. Por su parte las piezas de pared disponen en uno de los cantos, en el canto a traves del que apoyaran sobre la pieza base, de orificios enfrentables a las varillas. La pieza base carece de huecos, estando preferentemente cerrada en toda su superficie, mientras que las piezas de pared disponen de los huecos ciegos y pasantes. Para asegurar un buen apoyo entre las piezas de pared, estas presentan en los cantos adyacentes superficies de apoyo mutuo, por ejemplo en angulos de 45° entre placas contiguas.According to a possible form of execution, the module adopts a cubic form and is constituted by a base piece, in the form of a square plate and by four pieces of wall, also in the form of square plates. The four wall pieces rest on the base piece and delimit between them an open face that is opposite to said base plate. The base piece is a carrier of the rods that become part of the coupling and fixing means, rods that protrude perpendicularly from one of the major surfaces, on which the wall pieces will rest. On the other hand the wall pieces have in one of the edges, in the song through which they will rest on the base piece, of holes facing the rods. The base piece lacks holes, being preferably closed in its entire surface, while the wall pieces have blind and through holes. To ensure good support between the wall pieces, they have mutual support surfaces on adjacent edges, for example at 45 ° angles between adjacent plates.

Preferentemente la pieza base sera de contorno mayor que el definido por las cuatro piezas de pared una vez adosadas y acopladas entre si, de modo que dicha pieza base sobresaldra del contorno definido por las piezas de pared.Preferably, the base piece will be larger than the one defined by the four wall pieces once attached and coupled together, so that said base piece will protrude from the outline defined by the wall pieces.

En caso necesario el modulo puede alojar perfiles independientes que sobresalen al exterior a traves de la cara abierta y/o de las aberturas pasantes de las placas de pared.If necessary, the module can accommodate independent profiles that protrude outside through the open face and / or through the openings of the wall plates.

Como se ha indicado tanto la pieza base como las piezas de pared seran de hormigon armado. El molde para construir las piezas de pared dispondran de una base con insertos fijos, que seran los que conformen en dichas piezas de pared los huecos pasantes, destinados a facilitar la circulation y renovacion del agua interior del modulo, y unos insertos desmontables intercambiables para conformar huecos ciegos o pasantes, destinados al asentamiento y desarrollo de diferentes especies.As indicated both the base piece and the wall pieces will be reinforced concrete. The mold to build the wall pieces will have a base with fixed inserts, which will be the ones that make up in said wall pieces the through holes, intended to facilitate the circulation and renovation of the interior water of the module, and removable interchangeable inserts to form blind holes or interns, intended for settlement and development of different species.

De este modo el modulo dispondra en sus caras laterales de huecos, ciegos o pasantes, que tienen dimensiones diferentes, adaptadas a las necesidades o preferencias de las especies que se pretendan explotar.In this way the module will have on its lateral faces hollows, blind or through, which have different dimensions, adapted to the needs or preferences of the species that are intended to exploit.

Al estar las diferentes piezas que conforman el modulo fabricadas mediante hormigon armado, son facilmente fabricables en industrias ya existentes que elaboren piezas de hormigon para otra areas de actividad industrial, lo cual constituye una ventaja mas de la invencion.Since the different parts that make up the module are manufactured using reinforced concrete, they are easily manufactured in existing industries that produce concrete pieces for other areas of industrial activity, which constitutes an advantage over the invention.

Las piezas que conforman el modulo pueden ademas incorporar residuos de la industria conservera, por ejemplo del mejillon, en sustitucion de una parte de los aridos en laThe pieces that make up the module can also incorporate waste from the canning industry, for example mussels, replacing a part of the aggregates in the

En la figura 4 se muestra en perspectiva una de las piezas de pared (2), la cual adopta tambien forma de placa de contorno cuadrado que presenta dos de los cantos opuestos con chaflanes (8) a 45°, a traves de los que se adosan lateralmente las diferentes piezas de pared (2) para delimitar la estructura cubica de las figuras 1 y 2. A partir de los otros dos cantos (9) las piezas de pared apoyaran sobre la pieza de base (1) y dispondran de orificios pasantes (10) posicionados de modo que queden enfrentados a las varillas (7) de la pieza de base (1), de modo que al apoyar las piezas de pared (2) sobre la pieza de base (1) las varillas (7) penetren por los orificios pasantes (10). De este modo las varillas (7) y los orificios pasantes (10) constituyen medios de fijacion entre uno y otros componentes.In figure 4 one of the wall pieces (2) is shown in perspective, which also takes the form of a square contour plate that has two of the opposite edges with chamfers (8) at 45 °, through which laterally attach the different wall pieces (2) to delimit the cubic structure of figures 1 and 2. From the other two edges (9) the wall pieces will rest on the base piece (1) and have through holes (10) positioned so that they are facing the rods (7) of the base piece (1), so that when supporting the wall pieces (2) on the base piece (1) the rods (7) penetrate through the through holes (10). In this way the rods (7) and the through holes (10) constitute fixing means between one and other components.

Con la constitution comentada, las piezas de base (1) y las piezas de pared (2) pueden fabricarse y transportarse de forma independiente, hasta su montaje.With the constitution mentioned, the base pieces (1) and the wall pieces (2) can be manufactured and transported independently, until they are assembled.

Segun puede apreciarse en la figura 4, las piezas (2) de pared disponen de al menos un hueco pasante (5), dimensionado para garantizar la renovation de agua en el interior de los modulos, generada por la action de las corrientes o mareas.As can be seen in Figure 4, the wall pieces (2) have at least one through hole (5), sized to guarantee the renewal of water inside the modules, generated by the action of the currents or tides.

Tambien las piezas de pared (2) disponen de huecos ciegos (11), adaptables en dimensiones a los requisitos de las diferentes especies que se quieran explotar. Asl, por ejemplo, para pulpos y especies similares estos huecos ciegos seran de section cuadrada, de 0,2 m x 0,2 m y con una profundidad de 0,25 m maximo. Otros, como las necoras, anidan en orificios tipo grietas, de forma rectangular, con una de sus dimensiones pequena con respecto a la otra, tlpicas 0,3 m x 0,04 m de frente y 0,15 m de profundidad, simulando asl una grieta natural con la posibilidad de varias salidas.Also the wall pieces (2) have blind holes (11), adaptable in dimensions to the requirements of the different species that are to be exploited. Thus, for example, for octopuses and similar species these blind holes will be of square section, 0.2 m x 0.2 m and with a maximum depth of 0.25 m. Others, such as necoras, nest in cracked holes, rectangular in shape, with one of their small dimensions with respect to the other, typical 0.3 mx 0.04 m in front and 0.15 m deep, thus simulating a Natural crack with the possibility of several exits.

Montando en cada modulo piezas de pared (2) con huecos (11) de diferentes configuraciones y distribuyendo diferente numero de modulos dedicados a cada especie dentro del campo de explotacion, se fomenta la posibilidad de una determinada distribution de cada especie dentro de dicho campo de explotacion. Como ejemplo y para una ubicacion y condiciones determinadas, se dimensiona con unas medidas de (alto x ancho x espesor) 1500 mm x 1500 mm x 300 mm.Mounting on each module pieces of wall (2) with holes (11) of different configurations and distributing different number of modules dedicated to each species within the field of exploitation, the possibility of a certain distribution of each species within said field is encouraged. exploitation. As an example and for a given location and conditions, it is sized with measures of (height x width x thickness) 1500 mm x 1500 mm x 300 mm.

Para facilitar el desmoldeo, la forma de los huecos (5 y 11) sera de seccion creciente hacia el exterior, pudiendo ademas utilizarse un agente de desmoldeo.To facilitate demoulding, the shape of the holes (5 and 11) will be of increasing section towards the outside, and a mold release agent may also be used.

Para el montaje de los modulos solo hay que posicionar los modulos de pared (2) sobre el modulo de base (1), introduciendo y deslizando las varillas (7) a traves de los orificios pasantes (10), sin necesidad de elementos auxiliares de montaje.To assemble the modules, you just have to position the wall modules (2) on the base module (1), introducing and sliding the rods (7) through the through holes (10), without the need for auxiliary elements. mounting.

Segun se aprecia en las figuras 1 y 2, las piezas de pared (2) pueden disponer tambien de huecos ciegos (11) a partir de su superficie interna (4), aumentando asl la superficie util de produccion.As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, the wall pieces (2) can also have blind holes (11) from their internal surface (4), thus increasing the useful production surface.

En la figura 5 se muestra la disposition de modulos de la figura 1 y 2 para la formation de un parque de un parque de explotacion que incluye una serie de modulos (12), exclusivos para la production, y una serie de modulos (13) dispuestos en la periferia, de production y de protection contra redes de arrastre, al incluir los perfiles (6) del modulo de la figura 2.Figure 5 shows the arrangement of modules of Figures 1 and 2 for the formation of a park of a farm that includes a series of modules (12), exclusive for production, and a series of modules (13) arranged on the periphery, of production and protection against trawls, by including the profiles (6) of the module of Figure 2.

Como ejemplo y para una ubicacion y condiciones determinadas, el conjunto de cada modulo puede tener una masa sumergida total de 4,83 toneladas. Esta masa de un solo modulo es insuficiente frente a pesqueros de arrastre de hasta 10 toneladas de tiro, usuales por ejemplo en las costas de Galicia. Sin embargo, suponiendo un angulo de tiro de 45°, con solo dos modulos serlan capaces de bloquear al copo, considerando, por lo tanto que un parque formado por mas de dos modulos, como el representado en la figura 5, cumple con la accion disuasoria perseguida, manteniendo inalterable la distribution flsica de los modulos en el fondo.As an example and for a given location and conditions, the set of each module can have a total submerged mass of 4.83 tons. This mass of a single module is insufficient compared to trawlers with up to 10 tons of draft, usually for example on the coast of Galicia. However, assuming a 45 ° angle of shot, with only two modules, they will be able to block the flake, considering, therefore, that a park formed by more than two modules, such as the one shown in Figure 5, complies with the action deterrent pursued, keeping the physical distribution of the modules in the background unalterable.

Por otro lado, considerando posibles instalaciones en fondos rocosos, mas desfavorables por el menor coeficiente de friction entre la base del modulo y el fondo del orden de 0,27, serlan necesarios cuatro modulos para bloquear al buque arrastrero.On the other hand, considering possible installations in rocky bottoms, more unfavorable due to the lower coefficient of friction between the base of the module and the bottom of the order of 0.27, four modules would be necessary to block the trawler.

En cuanto a la estabilidad frente a la accion de oleaje y corriente se ha determinado un valor mlnimo del coeficiente de friccion de 0,0198 para que no se produzca arrastre sobre el fondo. Dado que los valores varlan segun la naturaleza del fondo entre 0,49 para fondos arenosos y 0,27 para fondos rocosos, hay margen suficiente para asegurar la estabilidad del modulo frente a estas acciones.As for the stability against the action of waves and currents, a minimum value of the coefficient of friction of 0.0198 has been determined so that no drag on the bottom occurs. Given that the values vary according to the nature of the fund between 0.49 for sandy bottoms and 0.27 for rocky bottoms, there is sufficient margin to ensure the module's stability against these actions.

De acuerdo con los adjetivos de la invention se consigue una maxima sencillez de realization, con una inversion minima, al poder utilizar industrias del hormigon ya existentes, facilidad de traslado y montaje por las dimensiones, peso y sistema de montaje. La solution propuesta facilita adaptar los huecos a las costumbres propias de cada especie marina especlfica a explotar de modo selectivo.According to the adjectives of the invention, a maximum simplicity of realization is achieved, with a minimum investment, being able to use existing concrete industries, ease of transfer and assembly by dimensions, weight and assembly system. The proposed solution facilitates adapting the gaps to the customs of each specific marine species to exploit selectively.

Con el objetivo de ganar en superficie de explotacion se puede plantear una variante con una base circular y seis paredes laterales, en vez de cuatro. Buscando el llmite del ancho de transporte por carretera tendrla una base de 2,5 m de diametro. Se ganarla un 25% de superficie para explotacion respecto al ejemplo anteriormente descrito, pero complicarla la ejecucion de la base por necesitar incluir doce redondos para el acoplamiento de las paredes laterales, en lugar de los ocho actuales. Ademas la base tendrla una masa de 14 toneladas, con lo que perderla la ventaja de facilidad y transporte que tiene la realizacion anteriormente descrita.A variant with a circular base and six side walls, instead of four, can be proposed in order to win on the surface of the farm. Looking for the limit of the width of road transport will have a base of 2.5 m in diameter. It will gain a 25% surface area for exploitation with respect to the example described above, but complicate the execution of the base by needing to include twelve rounds for the coupling of the side walls, instead of the current eight. In addition, the base will have a mass of 14 tons, thus losing the advantage of ease and transport that has the previously described embodiment.
