    专利说明:

    [0001] The present invention relates to a module for the preservation and transport of living products of the sea. The invention also covers the conservation device. and complete living crustaceans transport incorporating at least one module. In the present invention, the term "living products of the sea" means crustaceans, in particular lobsters, shrimps or lobsters, molluscs such as oysters, abalones of echinoderms such as sea urchins, or even fish such as elvers. . These products are located and available for fishing in specific places on the planet. If we focus on lobster, it is particularly fished in the cold waters of Canada with areas of consumption around the world but particularly in Europe. The elvers are fished in Europe and North Africa during their migration and the areas of consumption are also some Asian countries. These products are currently for the most part either cooked or frozen on board fishing vessels or frozen directly at the port as soon as they are landed. Nevertheless, these sea products are considered as luxury products in the countries far from these places of production and it is then advisable to market them alive because the flesh is more tasty still than after a stage of freezing / thawing. It is understandable then that many problems arise to keep alive these products from the sea fishing place to the retailer who market these products of the sea to the end customer, often several thousand kilometers. If the fishery is no longer carried out in a natural environment but comes from the aquaculture sector, it must develop in places favorable to the biotope of these products, and therefore in naturally producing regions.
    [0002] The problem of transport remains intact, regardless of the production source of these lobsters.
    [0003] Indeed, we must be able to keep these crustaceans alive and the known solution is that of placing them in a livewell. Nevertheless, the problem is the transport of the livewell on the one hand and the water contained in the livewell on the other hand.
    [0004] If the transport is done by boat, the problem is less crucial from the point of view of weight but the duration is quite long. Nevertheless, the transport is more and more often carried out by plane. In this case, we must pay particular attention to the weight. The weight of the marketable material, ie the weight of seafood, is not a problem but that of the container on the one hand and water on the other hand are highly penalizing. In this solution for setting live, there are containers in which are arranged seafood with means for oxygenating and treating the fluid in which are disposed said products. These containers include bins to distribute the mass of products with water treatment means.
    [0005] In the case of lobsters for example, although each lobster claw is kept closed by any suitable means such as an elastic bracelet, for example, it is not possible to bulk lobsters in too large numbers, hence the multiplicity of bins to ensure a better distribution. It is the same for glass eels or sea urchins whose promiscuity breaks the quills.
    [0006] We also know that consumers are becoming more and more attentive to the quality of products, their transport conditions and the traceability of products. For this purpose, it is necessary to be able to identify each product or each batch of products in a lot provided or at least to be able to identify said batches. The problems that have just been exposed concern long-distance transport but we understand that when the container has arrived at the airport, it is not at its destination, it still has to reach the dispatching center generally and the wholesaler and then the retailer. This represents many manipulations. This process is therefore rather complicated at the moment because the products are in bulk tank so that identification is not easy and the distribution of live products to the final retailer remains complex.
    [0007] Then, either the seafood is sold live on ice for a quick sale, shellfish, oysters, or they are kept in the fishpond at the retailer for a deferred sale or a sale spread over a period not exceeding a few hours . It is also known that transfers can stress mammals and animals in general, but these transfers also disrupt seafood, either by temperature change, salinity change, or by changing environment, to name just a few. these parameters. The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the problems that have just been exposed by allowing an application to the transport of fishery products from fishing in the wild such as those from aquaculture. The device according to the present invention solves the problem of the weight of water to be transported by reducing its volume and therefore its weight to the minimum necessary for the benefit of seafood. In a simplified manner, the present description relates more particularly to the transport crustaceans and in particular lobsters but complementary arrangements show the application to other products, without modification of the present invention. The device according to the present invention allows an extremely simple and fast distribution while maintaining the traceability of each of the products of the sea or at least lots of these products.
    [0008] The device according to the present invention is of a reduced cost and limits the stress of the products of the sea, in particular by limiting the transfers. The device is now described with reference to the accompanying drawings, according to a particular nonlimiting embodiment, the figures of these drawings representing: FIG. 1: a perspective view of the device with walls of modules in a transport container, with lobsters, Figure 2: a perspective view of the empty device with a module comprising a limited number of slots to understand the detailed architecture, Figure 3: a view of a housing in a module of the device, occupied by a lobster, Figure 4: a view of the nesting means housing modules, Figure 5: a view of the extraction of lobsters from a module, - Figure 6, a view of an arrangement for other seafood products, in particular molluscs. The device 10 according to the present invention comprises a container 12 with at least one module 14 and a water treatment installation 16, see FIG.
    [0009] The container 12 shown is a container adapted to the mode of transport and the necessary standards, this does not interest the present invention, these containers being known. This type of container is waterproof and accessible through a sealed door. This type of container is resistant to corrosion by seawater. The module 14 according to the present invention is a block of lightweight material, resistant to corrosion by seawater, inert, of the expanded polymer type such as polystyrene already used for packaging fish and crustaceans and whose inert nature is well proven. This light material is in the form of a generally molded parallelepiped. This parallelepiped comprises a length Let a width I defining a front face FF and a rear face RF as shown in Figure 2. The third dimension is the thickness E of this module. This thickness E is of a size equal to the overall length of the product of the sea to be introduced, in this case a lobster, including tongs. In the embodiment, the width is intended to be oriented vertically, the length is oriented horizontally and the thickness E is oriented also horizontally. In all cases the orientation will be adapted to the species. The module comprises housings 18, oriented parallel to the thickness E and opening on the two front faces FF and rear RF. The dwellings are therefore crossing. These housings 18 are preferably cylindrical and of a diameter D adapted to allow the introduction of a lobster, including the clamps, as shown in Figure 3. Each housing 18 is on its opening opening on the face rear RF means 20 partial shutter. These partial closure means 20 comprise at least one bar 22, for example a bar integrally molded or reported, arranged in a diameter or two bars forming a cross. These partial sealing means prohibit crustacean 30, including lobster, to move and exit through the opening of the housing 18 opening on said rear face.
    [0010] These partial sealing means 20 allow the water to circulate and does not constitute in any case a closure intended to make the housing 18 blind. In addition, these partial closure means 20 have, according to an improvement of the present invention, a breakable character whose utility will be explained further in the description. Optionally, each module comprises means 24 for positioning and interlocking with an adjacent module, for example in the form of pins 26, arranged in the angles of the different faces, as shown in FIG. 4. These positioning means 24 allow to to make a wall of modules 14 when necessary, in particular in a large container, as represented in FIG. 1. The storage and transport device according to the present invention thus consists of at least one module in which products of the sea, in this case lobsters, are arranged one per dwelling.
    [0011] These lobsters have the forceps preferably closed and held by elastic bracelets, this in a known manner. The introduction is performed by the front so that the tail of each lobster abuts against the means 20 partial shutter. As the lobster moves in reverse, it stays in its home.
    [0012] The housing is horizontal, it is easy to fill these housing one by one. Once the first module wall is completed, it is possible to erect a second wall and fill the lobster housing as well. The walls can thus succeed one another by juxtaposition. The rear partial closing means of a module of a wall also constitutes means of partial closure before the housing of the juxtaposed module of the juxtaposed wall. This results in a high density of seafood per unit container volume. Each lobster is not under any pressure due to an accumulation like a livewell. There is no risk of death by compression or entanglement. The implementation is extremely fast.
    [0013] The stacking of the modules and the juxtaposition of the walls also so that the lobsters remain in the open air a minimum duration. The container 12 is then sealed.
    [0014] The treatment means 16 can then come into action first by introducing water of suitable composition in salinity, oxygen and other mineral and / or nutritive compounds in the container. So there is an incoming flow. It is known that the container may be filled with water in the form of a liquid bath or in the form of water sprayed continuously. If the container is filled with water, it is understood that the volume of water is only that of housing minus the volume of lobsters so that the amount of water is very limited. The essential volume of the container is occupied by the lobsters and the light material constituting the modules.
    [0015] To give an idea, we can reach a ratio of 50% by weight of seafood. The water is then removed and is a flow out after passing through all the modules. As this outflow water is reprocessed, the lobsters are in adapted living conditions. In addition, in case of shocks, vibrations, movements of the containers, they are largely damped by water and the lightweight material which necessarily has a high absorption capacity. It is also possible to have the labels associated with the modules or to provide a batch distribution, if only by a color code.
    [0016] At destination, after emptying, opening of the container, the walls can be dismantled and the modules with their lobsters are distributed according to the destinations, without taking out said lobsters from their homes. These undergo a minimum of handling until the place of marketing to the consumer.
    [0017] If, on the other hand, lots of lobsters have to be placed again in a fixed pool for long conservation, then the extraction of lobsters is very easy. Just place each module immediately above the water surface of the livewell, with the backside above the water, or even partially submerged. By a slow upward movement and a sudden upward movement, the partial closure means 20 break and the lobsters descend into the water of the livewell, tail first, the mimic being shown in FIG. thus very strongly the traumas of the crustaceans thus treated.
    [0018] It is also noted that the modules can be placed directly in wells or in containers with water spray means of suitable composition and treated continuously. Lobsters have been taken as an example but one can imagine crabs, oysters, abalone directly placed in bulk but this can be difficult for products such as small size molluscs, some echinoderms or small fish. In Figure 6, there is shown an alternative embodiment which finds application to sea products of this type. An additional container 28 is then provided which receives a number of small sea products depending on the type of products. This container 28 is itself intended to be arranged in a housing 18, therefore of smaller dimensions than those of a housing 18, with the clearance allowing a free interlocking or soft friction. This container necessarily comprises openings 30 on both sides so as to let the inflow of incoming water and the flow of water out. It is also possible to provide openings on the side faces if necessary. This container 28 must be able to be traversed by the flow of water. The openings 30 are on the other hand dimensioned so that the products of the sea remain in said container without being able to escape. The various problems outlined in the preamble are thus solved by the main embodiment of the modules and by the complementary embodiment.
