Definitions

  • the invention relates to a swimming pool with vortex nozzles installed in the wall area for the introduction of water or a water-air mixture and with at least one suction opening.
  • Such swimming pools are known under the name "whirlpool".
  • the purpose of such bathing pools is to achieve a massage-like effect on the human body through the strong swirling of the pool filling as a result of the amounts of water introduced via the vortex nozzles.
  • this massage-like effect is further enhanced by the fact that the air bubbles which "explode” when they hit the body further increase the effect on the human body and thereby have a real therapeutic effect.
  • the water is circulated through one or more pumps.
  • the pumps used must be relatively powerful in order to achieve a massage-like effect at all.
  • the invention is based on the object of creating a nozzle arrangement which, on the one hand, achieves an optimal swirling of the pool contents and an improved jet effect with the same pump output.
  • the vortex nozzles are arranged in at least two horizontal planes lying one above the other at a distance and in that the vortex nozzles in one plane — viewed in the circumferential direction — are arranged at a lateral distance from the next vortex nozzle in the other plane and in that the suction openings are arranged in a third plane is arranged below the lowest horizontal plane of the vortex nozzles.
  • vortex nozzles are arranged offset in two height levels in the wall parts forming the backrest, and that vortex nozzles are arranged in the wall of the foot part in a third plane, with respect to the vortex nozzles the neighboring plane above - seen in the circumferential direction - are offset with a lateral distance.
  • a plurality of suction openings are provided in the wall of the foot part, which, viewed in the circumferential direction, are each arranged between two vortex nozzles.
  • the vortex nozzles of each horizontal plane are arranged at approximately the same distance from one another.
  • the invention further relates to a bathing pool, in particular according to the preceding claims, with a flood channel delimiting at least part of the pool edge and covered with a grid.
  • the arrangement of such flood channels is known in principle both for swimming pool pools and for bathing pools of the type described in the introduction. These overflow channels are required in particular if such bathing pools are set up in the public area, so that in principle such bathing pools provided with vortex nozzles must be designed accordingly.
  • these bathing pools are made of plastics, for example of deep-drawn acrylic with polyester resin / glass fiber reinforcement on the back.
  • the invention is therefore also based on the object of providing a construction for such bathing pools which permits a much simpler installation option, with the guarantee being given that the fully assembled flood channel is in any case leakproof.
  • the flood channel is composed of trough-shaped sections and fastened to the pool edge, that the individual sections are connected to one another at the end and that each section is provided with a drain opening that can be connected to the drain system.
  • the connection of the individual Parts with each other as well as the connection of the parts with the tub body can be done with the help of mechanical means, for example by screws, brackets or the like. Because each section is sealed by the trough-shaped design and no special attention needs to be paid to this during assembly.
  • Another advantage is that the shape of the individual sections can be adapted to a construction grid, so that almost any pelvic contours can be produced with only a few basic shapes. The fact that this construction requires a separate drain opening for each section represents an additional advantage, since this increases the overall swallowability of the flood channel and thus ensures that the floor areas adjacent to the bathing pool are not flooded.
  • the sections on the mutually facing end faces have an apron which runs at a distance from the channel wall and via which the sections can each be fastened to one another by means of connecting means. With the help of this shape, it is possible to firmly connect the sections together, for example by screwing, the joint being able to be sealed from the outside with a putty after the finished assembly.
  • the sections on the side facing the Bekken have a horizontally oriented wall part which extends below the edge of the pool and which is provided with means for fastening the section to the pool edge.
  • the pool edge has a reinforcement on its underside with which the sections of the flood channel can be connected.
  • the sections of the flood channel are formed by deep drawing from acrylic. This results in absolutely sealed parts which, depending on the load, can additionally be provided with a polyester resin / glass fiber reinforcement.
  • the embodiment shown has an essentially square plan with chamfered corners.
  • the cross-sectional shape can be of any design, for example round, Exactly square or rectangular floor plans possible.
  • the bathing pool shown has a stepped pool wall 1, which divides the pool into a circumferential seat part 2 and a central foot part 3.
  • an entry step 4 is formed in the pool wall by appropriate shaping, the steps 5 and 6 of the staircase formed in this way being designed to be non-slip by means of a corresponding covering or a corresponding profile.
  • the pool edge 7 is delimited on its outside by a flood channel 8, which completely surrounds the pool edge in the illustrated embodiment.
  • the flood channel 8 is covered by a grille 9_ which can be removed for cleaning purposes.
  • the wall part 10 forming the backrest and the corresponding wall part 11 of the central foot part 3 are now provided with a plurality of swirl nozzles 12, 13 and 14.
  • the nozzles are arranged in the region of the wall part 10 forming the backrest in two spaced-apart horizontal planes, ie the nozzles 12 lie in an upper plane, while the Nozzles 13 lie in a further horizontal plane lying at a distance below.
  • the nozzles in the individual levels are now arranged in such a way that, viewed in the circumferential direction, one nozzle 12 of the upper level follows one nozzle 13 of the level below, so that overall there is an approximately zigzag course of an imaginary connecting line of the successive vortex nozzles.
  • the nozzle arrangement is also made as the top view according to FIG. 2 shows that on opposite wall parts a vortex nozzle 12 of the upper horizontal plane is opposite a nozzle 13 of the horizontal plane below.
  • the nozzles of the lowest horizontal plane which are arranged in the wall part 11 of the foot part, are again offset from the nozzles 13 of the horizontal plane above, viewed in the circumferential direction.
  • the flood channel 8 is made up of individual sections, for example four sections 8 'encompassing the corners.
  • Each section 8 'of the flood channel is trough-shaped made of acrylic, so that the end faces 15 of the individual sections are completed.
  • the individual segments 8 ' have on the outside at a distance from the inner wall 16 R extending skirt 17, which also extends over the region of the ends 15th
  • the individual sections 8 ' are now firmly connected with their abutting aprons by means of fastening screws, clamps or the like, the joint 18 between two sections being closed during assembly and / or subsequently with, for example, a permanently elastic sealing cement, as in the partial section according to FIG. 3 shown.
  • This reinforcement is preferably in the polyester on the outside of the acrylic thermoformed basin body. h arz / laminated fiberglass reinforcement.
  • the reinforcement 19 has threaded holes at corresponding intervals, the corresponding through holes. Corresponding through holes are assigned to the overflow channel in the horizontal edge part 20 engaging under the pool edge 7, so that the individual sections of the flood channel 8 can be firmly screwed to the pool edge 7.
  • the pool can be illuminated via an underwater spotlight 21 arranged in the vertical wall area of stage 4.
  • one or more pumps are connected to the swirl nozzles 12, 13 and 14 on the one hand and to the suction openings 22 arranged here in the foot part 3, so that the water for generating the vortex jets in the circuit through the pool via an intermediate one Collection container, a filter device and possibly a heating device can be performed.
  • Each section 8 'of the flood channel 8 is provided with a separate drain opening 23 and connected to a ring line, not shown, which in turn is connected to the collecting container.
  • the basin can be completely emptied via a central emptying opening 24.
