OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓNOBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La invención se refiere, tal como expresa el enunciado de la presente memoria descriptiva, a una cuña perfeccionada para la regeneración de fondos marinos que aporta a la función a que se destina ventajas y características, aparte de otras inherentes a su organización y constitución, que se describirán en detalle más adelante, que suponen una innovadora alternativa y/o mejora a lo ya conocido en este campo.The invention refers, as expressed in the statement of the present specification, to a perfected wedge for the regeneration of seabed that contributes to the function to which advantages and characteristics are destined, apart from others inherent to its organization and constitution, which they will be described in detail below, which represent an innovative alternative and / or improvement to what is already known in this field.
De forma concreta, el objeto de la invención consiste en una cuña especialmente diseñada para que su deposición en el fondo marino, en especial de tipo arenoso, en agrupaciones adyacentes y opcionalmente escalonadas de diversas unidades, tras los pertinentes estudios de viabilidad técnica e impacto ambiental, conforme una barrera que permite la regeneración de playas, zonas costeras y fondos marinos de forma natural y progresiva, sin representar actuaciones agresivas sobre dichas zonas .Specifically, the object of the invention consists of a wedge specially designed so that its deposition on the seabed, especially sandy type, in adjacent and optionally staggered clusters of various units, after the relevant technical feasibility studies and environmental impact , according to a barrier that allows the regeneration of beaches, coastal areas and seabed in a natural and progressive way, without representing aggressive actions on these areas.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Es bien conocido que los temporales periódicos, los cambios de flujo de corrientes, o la potencial subida del nivel del mar, provocan y provocarán en un futuro no tan lejano, entre otros efectos adversos, la retirada de las arenas de nuestras playas, con el consiguiente expolio desde el punto de vista ecológico.It is well known that periodic storms, changes in current flow, or the potential rise in sea level, cause and will cause in the not so distant future, among other adverse effects, the withdrawal of the sands of our beaches, with the consequent plundering from the ecological point of view.
La principal solución actual para la regeneración de las playas pasa por la utilización de barcos de dragado de fondos marinos, que aunque de rápida ejecución, provoca imprevisibles daños a la biodiversidad marina, hasta el punto de estar expuestos a múltiples sanciones por parte de diferentes organismos comunitarios.The main current solution for the regeneration of beaches involves the use of dredged seabed vessels, which although of rapid execution, causes unpredictable damage to marine biodiversity, to the point of being exposed to multiple sanctions by different agencies community
Existe, sin embargo, algún ejemplo de sistema de regeneración alternativa, debiéndose señalar en este sentido, que el propio peticionario, es ya titular de un modelo de utilidad en el que describe una cuña regeneradora de fondos marinos, la cual, sin embargo presenta una serie de carencias en cuanto a su configuración, estructura y diseño susceptibles de mejorar, para conseguir mayores niveles de eficacia potenciando su función regeneradora, tales como su estructura interna, su acoplamiento lateral para la formación de barreras o su sistema de anclaje para transporte y colocación, entre otros.There is, however, some example of an alternative regeneration system, it should be noted in this regard, that the petitioner himself is already a holder of a utility model in which he describes a regenerating wedge of seabed, which, however, presents a series of deficiencies in terms of its configuration, structure and design that can be improved, to achieve higher levels of efficiency by enhancing its regenerative function, such as its internal structure, its lateral coupling for the formation of barriers or its anchoring system for transport and placement , among others.
Cabe mencionar, por tanto, que el peticionario desconoce la existencia de una cuña perfeccionada para la regeneración de fondos marinos que presente unas características técnicas, estructurales y constitutivas semejantes a las que preconiza la presente invención, la cual tiene por objeto solventar los inconvenientes anteriormente mencionados que presentan los sistemas conocidos actualmente para el mismo fin.It is worth mentioning, therefore, that the petitioner is unaware of the existence of an improved wedge for the regeneration of seabed that has similar technical, structural and constitutive characteristics to those advocated by the present invention, which is intended to solve the aforementioned drawbacks that present the systems currently known for the same purpose.
EXPLICACIÓN DE IA INVENCIÓN .EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION .
AsI, la cuña perfeccionada que la invención propone, constituye una evidente novedad dentro de su campo de aplicación, ya que su utilización aporta una solución al problema descrito no sólo para la regeneración arenosa de playas, sino también para su conservación sólo por medios naturales y sin ningún tipo de incidencia ecológica negativa.Thus, the improved wedge proposed by the invention constitutes an obvious novelty within its field of application, since its use provides a solution to the problem described not only for the sandy regeneration of beaches, but also for its conservation only by natural means and without any negative ecological impact.
De forma concreta, la cuña perfeccionada que propugna la invención, y mediante la cual se consigue, tal como se ha mencionado, una regeneración de los fondos marinos arenosos de forma natural, está constituida por un cuerpo, de considerable volumen y apreciable peso, ya que debe ser apto para soportar las fuerzas del oleaje marino a que se verá sometido, configurado a partir de una estructura o armazón férrico en forma de cuña, compuesto por una sucesión de triángulos paralelos de varilla férrica unidos por mallazo electrosoldado y ligado a los mismos, estando el conjunto del armazón recubierto preferentemente de hormigón-marino de clase IHb según instrucción EHE, de forma que presenta una base plana, una pared posterior perpendicular a dicha base y una cara frontal que asciende en pendiente ligeramente cóncava.Specifically, the improved wedge that advocates the invention, and by means of which, as mentioned above, a regeneration of the sandy seabed is achieved naturally, is constituted by a body, of considerable volume and appreciable weight, since which must be able to withstand the forces of the marine waves to which it will be subjected, configured from a wedge-shaped ferric structure or frame, composed of a succession of parallel triangles of ferric rod joined by electro-welded mesh and linked to them , the frame assembly being preferably covered in marine concrete of class IHb according to EHE instruction, so that it has a flat base, a rear wall perpendicular to said base and a front face that ascends in a slightly concave slope.
Dicha pendiente, en orden a optimizar el trabajo con las corrientes marinas, no será superior a los 37°, disponiendo de forma característica en toda su longitud de una pluralidad de escalones o terrazas horizontales, superpuestas y paralelas, de forma que la cara frontal de la cuña presenta una superficie dentada que favorece la succión, drenaje y elevación de los sedimentos arenosos.Said slope, in order to optimize the work with the marine currents, shall not exceed 37 °, having a plurality of horizontal or superimposed horizontal steps or terraces throughout its length, so that the front face of The wedge has a serrated surface that favors the suction, drainage and elevation of the sandy sediments.
El mencionado cuerpo o cuña, dispone ventajosamente además de medios para favorecer la unión y acoplamiento de forma lateral y consecutiva de diversas unidades para configurar así la barrera de generación natural, constituido por un sistema de machihembrado formado por una cavidad en una de sus paredes laterales y una protuberancia en la opuesta, de dimensiones y forma adecuadas para dicha función.Said body or wedge, advantageously also has means to favor the union and coupling of various units laterally and consecutively to configure the natural generation barrier, consisting of a tongue and groove system formed by a cavity in one of its side walls and a protuberance in the opposite, of dimensions and shape suitable for said function .
La cuña de la invención, dispone igualmente de medios de elevación que facilitan su transporte y colocación, consistentes en anillas que sobresalen en su cara frontal y que forman parte de la estructura metálica interior de la misma, dado el elevado peso que deben soportar, así como en un vastago o arpón de considerables dimensiones que sobresale de la zona central en su cara posterior, el cual además de amarre de la cuña, favorece y permite el amarre eventual a la misma de embarcaciones de recreo que fondean cercanas a la costa, impidiendo así que estas deterioren negativamente el fondo marino, e impide por otra parte la actuación nefasta de la pesca de arrastre, actuando como elemento disuasorio.The wedge of the invention also has lifting means that facilitate its transport and placement, consisting of rings that protrude on its front face and that are part of the internal metal structure thereof, given the high weight they must support, so as in a rod or harpoon of considerable dimensions that protrudes from the central area on its rear face, which in addition to mooring the wedge, favors and allows the eventual mooring to it of pleasure boats that anchor near the coast, preventing so that these negatively deteriorate the seabed, and otherwise prevent the disastrous performance of trawling, acting as a deterrent.
Dicho arpón, dispone además en su parte inferior de sendos salientes destinados a permitir la colocación opcional de elementos adicionales tales como cámaras submarinas, etc.Said harpoon also has in its lower part two protrusions intended to allow the optional placement of additional elements such as underwater cameras, etc.
La cara posterior de la cuña de la invención, incorpora además una pluralidad de oquedades cilindricas, dispuestas de forma precisa, destinadas a actuar como arrecife artificial, sirviendo de vivero de alevines y favoreciendo la regeneración de la fauna marina.The rear face of the wedge of the invention also incorporates a plurality of cylindrical cavities, arranged precisely, intended to act as an artificial reef, serving as a fry nursery and favoring the regeneration of marine fauna.
De esta forma, la regeneración del fondo marino se consigue mediante la deposición en el fondo marino de una pluralidad de cuñas, formando una cadena o barrera, en número, ubicación y dimensiones precisas para cada zona concreta a regenerar, cuyas especificaciones exactas de medidas, peso unitario, ángulo y curvatura de incidencia, número de posicionamiento y dimensiones de terrazas de acumulación, vendrán determinadas por el estudio previo que el organismo competente realice de la zona.In this way, the regeneration of the seabed is achieved by deposition at the bottom marine of a plurality of wedges, forming a chain or barrier, in number, location and precise dimensions for each specific area to be regenerated, whose exact specifications of measurements, unit weight, angle and curvature of incidence, number of positioning and dimensions of terraces of accumulation, will be determined by the previous study that the competent body performs in the area.
Asi, los sedimentos arenosos al incidir sobre la cara frontal de la barrera, formada por la yuxtaposición lateral de un determinado número de cuñas, y gracias a la existencia en ellas de las anteriormente descritas terrazas de que disponen en su cara frontal, irán en continua y paulatina ascensión, por hidrodinámica de flujo de la corriente marina, creándose una turbulencia precisa con elevación y movimiento direccional de los granulos arenosos depositados con anterioridad en dichas terrazas, hasta ser depositados finalmente en la cara posterior, perpendicular al fondo marino de la propia cuña, con la consiguiente elevación del fondo marino arenoso y la correspondiente recuperación de la playa o costa.Thus, the sandy sediments to affect the front face of the barrier, formed by the lateral juxtaposition of a certain number of wedges, and thanks to the existence in them of the previously described terraces that they have on their front face, will continue and gradual ascent, by hydrodynamic flow of the marine current, creating a precise turbulence with elevation and directional movement of the sandy granules previously deposited in said terraces, until they are finally deposited on the back face, perpendicular to the seabed of the wedge itself , with the consequent elevation of the sandy seabed and the corresponding recovery of the beach or coast.
La nueva cuña perfeccionada para la regeneración de fondos marinos representa, por consiguiente, una estructura innovadora de características estructurales y constitutivas desconocidas hasta ahora para tal fin, razones que unidas a su utilidad práctica, la dotan de fundamento suficiente para obtener el privilegio de exclusividad que se solicita.The new wedge perfected for the regeneration of seabed represents, therefore, an innovative structure of structural and constitutive characteristics unknown until now for this purpose, reasons that together with its practical utility, provide it with sufficient foundation to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that It is requested.
