Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bathing device according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a method for drying lines of a bathing device according to the preamble of claim 8.
  • the bubbler with its air nozzles preferably located on the bottom of the tub creates an air bubble bath while the water flowing out of the water nozzles under pressure develops a massaging effect.
  • the water nozzles and the bubble device can be operated together or separately.
  • the bath water is usually drained, the tub is cleaned and refilled with water for the next bather. Since the water for the water jets is sucked out of the tub, but come from the bather germs and bathing water additives also in the water pipe. This is not as easy to clean as the easily accessible tub, so that after emptying the tub usually moisture or even stagnant water remains in the water pipe. This moisture forms a breeding ground for germs sucked into the water pipe, which can multiply at a longer standstill of the bathing device and require a costly disinfection when recommissioning.
  • the invention is based on the idea to use the already existing in the device compressor, which may be a turbine or a compressor to use for drying the water pipe when the bathing device over a longer period, for example, during holidays or overnight should not be used , Drying of the water pipe, which would take several months without passing through airflow, deprives the germs entering the water pipe a large part of their nutrient medium, so that bacterial contamination of the bathing apparatus is inhibited. Furthermore, the air flow is passed through the pump and this also dried. The same applies to the air line, in the operation of the bathing device, in particular when the bubbler is turned off before draining the water, also water can penetrate. Ideally, an air flow of at least 100 liters per minute, if possible, 1000 liters per minute or more is produced, through which the interior of the water line, the pump and the air line is dried sufficiently in less than an hour, as a rule.
  • connection line has a valve for opening and closing the connection between the water line and the air line.
  • the connecting line branches off at a branch point between the compressor and the air nozzles of the air line.
  • the air flow coming from the compressor splits into a first air flow through the water pipe and the pump and a second air flow through the air pipe. If the entire air flow were conducted through the air duct, any stagnation water present in the air duct would be downright squirt out of the narrow air nozzles. Since the water nozzles are usually much further than the air nozzles, the first air flow is much more pronounced than the second air flow.
  • the components of the compressor must not be altered by corrosion in order not to impair the functionality, so that the ingress of water into the compressor must be avoided at all costs. This is ensured on the one hand by the valve in the connecting line. On the other hand, it is preferred that the air line between the compressor and the branch point has a check valve, which provides further security against ingress of water into the compressor.
  • the bathing device is equipped with a control unit for controlling the pump and the compressor.
  • the valve is connected by means of a data line for signaling its switching position with the control unit. Starting the pump can then be prevented with appropriate programming or circuit of the control unit, if the valve is not closed by a malfunction.
  • the bathing device has a fill level sensor for measuring the fill level of the trough. The level sensor is connected by means of a further data line for reporting the level with the control unit.
  • the control unit can be programmed or switched so that the valve can only be opened when the level sensor indicates a sufficient, preferably complete emptying of the tub.
  • a bathing device 10 has a trough 12 which has a plurality of air nozzles 16 on a trough bottom 14.
  • the air nozzles 16 are connected via an air line 18 to a compressor 20, in the present case an air turbine or a compressor.
  • a compressor 20 in the present case an air turbine or a compressor.
  • a check valve 22 is arranged in the air line 18.
  • the bathing device 10 has a massage device which has a plurality of massage nozzles 24 lying below the water level of the filled tub 12.
  • the massage jets 24 are fed via a water line 26 by a pump 28 with water, which is sucked from the filled tub 12.
  • a connecting line 32 branches off from the air line 18, which opens into the water line 26.
  • the branch point 30 is located between the check valve 22 and the air nozzles 16.
  • a control valve 34 is arranged, through which the connecting line 32 and thus the connection between the water pipe 26 and the air line 18 can be opened and closed.
  • the tub 12 is filled with water and a person in the tub 12 can be exposed to an air bubble bath and / or the massage effect through the massage jets 24.
  • the bathing device 10 has a control unit 36 with which both the pump 28 and the compressor 20 are activated.
  • the control unit 36 is connected via a data line 38 to the control valve 34.
  • the control unit 36 transmits the command "close” or "open” to the control valve 34.
  • the control valve 34 transmits a message to the control unit 36, whether it is open or closed.
  • a level sensor 40 is arranged, which communicates via a further data line 42 with the control unit 36 and reports to the control unit 36, whether there is water in the tub 12.
  • a drying of the line in the bathing device 10 is now carried out as follows. After emptying the tub 12, the level sensor 40 notifies the control unit 36 that there is no more water in the tub 12. This signal forms a release for the opening of the control valve 34, which can now be opened by operating the control unit 36 by an operator.
  • the compressor 20 is set in motion and blows a flow of air through both the air duct 18 and the air nozzles 16, as well as via the connecting pipe 32 through the water pipe 26 and the pump 28. After a predetermined time, it can be assumed that the air streams through the air line 18 and the water pipe 26 both lines and the pump 28 have sufficiently dried, the control unit 36 switches off the compressor 20 and closes the control valve 34 again.
  • the invention relates to a bathing device 10 with a water-fillable tub 12, with a nozzle device, the at least one water nozzle 24, leading to the at least one water nozzle 24 water pipe 26 and a pump 28 for sucking water from the tub 12 and for introducing the Having water in the water line 26, and with a bubbler, the number of air nozzles 16 in at least one tub wall 14, a compressor 20 and one of the compressor 20 to the Air nozzles 16 leading air line 18 has.
  • the water line 26 and the air line 18 are connected to each other by means of a closable connection line 32.
