Description

CAPTEUR SOLAIRE AMOVIBLE FORMANT COUVERTURE DE PISCINE
L'invention concerne une couverture semi-rigide de piscine formant capteur solaire. On sait que principalement dans nos régions tempérées, le chauffage des piscines est un problème essentiel pour leur utilisation. En effet, même si le temps extérieur le permet, il est très fréquent qu'une piscine ne puisse pas être utilisée car l'eau n'a pas encore atteint une temperature suffisante, où l'a perdue par suite par exemple d'une chute de pluie.REMOVABLE SOLAR COLLECTOR FORMING POOL COVER
The invention relates to a semi-rigid swimming pool cover forming a solar collector. We know that mainly in our temperate regions, heating swimming pools is an essential problem for their use. Indeed, even if the outside weather allows it, it is very common that a swimming pool cannot be used because the water has not yet reached a sufficient temperature, where it has lost it for example from a rainfall.

On peut naturellement recourir à des moyens de chauffage cla-ssiques, par exemple d'une chaudière au fioul ou d'un système électrique. Ce procédé présente 1 'incon- vénient d'être tres onéreux à l'achat et à l'utilisation.One can naturally resort to conventional heating means, for example an oil boiler or an electrical system. This method has the disadvantage of being very expensive to purchase and use.

On a également eu l'idée d'utiliser des systèmes de chauffage solaire. Un premier système utilise des panneaux solaires fixes de type connu. Ces panneaux rigides modulaires ou non sont encombrants, chers et surtout peu esthétiques.We also had the idea of using solar heating systems. A first system uses fixed solar panels of known type. These modular or non-rigid panels are bulky, expensive and above all unattractive.

On a cherché à améliorer ce système par l'utilisation de capteurs solaires formés par des tuyauteries plastiques en faisceaux, reliées à la piscine et alimentées avec l'eau de celle-ci par un groupe moto - pompe.We have sought to improve this system by using solar collectors formed by plastic piping in bundles, connected to the pool and supplied with water from it by a motorbike - pump group.

Ces systèmes sont extrèmement encombrants. En effet, devant être posés sur le sol, leur faible rendement dû à la déperdition de chaleur résultante, doit être compensé par une augmentation de la longueur des tuyauteries.These systems are extremely bulky. Indeed, having to be placed on the ground, their low efficiency due to the resulting heat loss, must be compensated by an increase in the length of the pipes.

Par ailleurs, ces différents systèmes doivent être disposés sur un terrain voisin de celui ou est la piscine, ce qui représente une augmentation de l'emprise au sol nécessaire.In addition, these different systems must be placed on land adjacent to that where the swimming pool is located, which represents an increase in the necessary footprint.

Pour palier ces inconvénients on a eu l'idée de réaliser un capteur solaire pouvant être disposé au dessus de la surface de la piscine ( formant aussi couverture de protection ) ou à côté de celle - ci, permettant ainsi de l'utiliser à tout moment.To overcome these drawbacks, we had the idea of making a solar collector that could be placed above the surface of the pool (also forming a protective cover) or next to it, thus allowing it to be used at any time. .

Selon une première caractéristique du capteur selon l'invention, ce capteur solaire présente une forme identique à celle de la piscine à couvrir et de préférence avec une surface légèrement plus importante.According to a first characteristic of the sensor according to the invention, this solar sensor has a shape identical to that of the swimming pool to be covered and preferably with a slightly larger surface.

Selon une autre. caractéristique de l'invention, ce capteur solaire est formé d'une feuille plastique de préférence noire brillante, sur laquelle est disposé selon un schéma connu un ou plusieurs tuyaux dans lesquels circule l'eau à réchauffer. Cette tuyauterie aura de préférence une surface extérieure noire réalisée par exemple en P.V.C.According to another. characteristic of the invention, this solar collector is formed from a plastic sheet, preferably shiny black, on which is arranged according to a known scheme one or more pipes in which the water to be heated circulates. This piping will preferably have a black exterior surface made for example of P.V.C.

Cette tuyauterie est recouverte d'une feuille de couverture transparente par exemple en P.V.C de telle sorte qu'elle doit être enfermée entre la feuille support plastique et cette feuille de couverture transparente.This piping is covered with a transparent cover sheet, for example in P.V.C so that it must be enclosed between the plastic support sheet and this transparent cover sheet.

Par ailleurs, selon une caractéristique de l'invention supplémentaire cette feuille de couverture et la feuille support sont solidarisées par points ou par-lignes par des coutures ou des soudures par exemple du type haute fréquence formant ainsi des espaces fermes autour du tuyau dans lequel l'eau circule.Furthermore, according to a characteristic of the additional invention, this cover sheet and the support sheet are joined by points or by lines by seams or welds, for example of the high frequency type, thus forming firm spaces around the pipe in which the water circulates.

Pour cette raison et des contraintes dues aux dilatations différentielle, la plaque support et la feuille de couverture seront généralement réalisées dans le même materiau. For this reason and constraints due to differential expansion, the support plate and the cover sheet will generally be made of the same material.

L'ensemble de ces di-spositions permet aussi d'obtenir un effet de serre extrémement important autour de la tuyauterie.All of these di-spositions also make it possible to obtain an extremely significant greenhouse effect around the piping.

Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel du capteur solaire selon l'invention, on utilise un seul tuyau disposé de telle sorte qu'il comporte des segments parallèles reliés par des courbes disposées alternativement de part et d'autre des bords du capteur, ces segments étant en général disposés dans le sens de la petite dimension du capteur.According to a preferred embodiment of the solar collector according to the invention, a single pipe is used which is arranged such that it has parallel segments connected by curves arranged alternately on either side of the edges of the collector, these segments being generally arranged in the direction of the small dimension of the sensor.

L'ensemble ainsi formé par la feuille support, la feuille de couverture et la tuyauterie incorporée entre les deux forme une couverture souple pouvant être enroulée ou etendue au dessus de la piscine.The assembly thus formed by the support sheet, the cover sheet and the piping incorporated between the two forms a flexible cover that can be rolled up or extended over the pool.

Selon une autre caractéristique du capteur selon l'invention, cette couverture souple à une forme identique à celle de la piscine à réchauffer de telle sorte qu'il puisse recouvrir éxactement celle-ci . Des ouvertures sont prévues sur sa périphérie pour- cooperer avec des crochets disposés autour de la piscine pour le maintenir en place. Il faut noter que les tuyaux remplis d'air dans cette pos-i- - tion permettent à l'ensemble de flotter sans efforts sur la piscine, ce qui rend inutile tout système de raidissement et assure la sécurité des personnes pouvant tomber sur la couverture.According to another characteristic of the sensor according to the invention, this flexible cover has a shape identical to that of the swimming pool to be heated so that it can cover it exactly. Openings are provided on its periphery to cooperate with hooks arranged around the pool to hold it in place. It should be noted that the air-filled pipes in this pos-i- tion allow the assembly to float effortlessly on the pool, which makes any stiffening system unnecessary and ensures the safety of people who may fall on the cover. .

Un enrouleur peut être disposé à une extrémité pour rouler l'ensemble lorsqu'il n'est pas en service.A reel can be arranged at one end to roll the assembly when it is not in use.

Les avantages du système selon l'invention sont les suivants Ensemble forme un capteur solaire extrèmement léger et peu onéreux. L'éte celuici sert de capteur solaire pendant les heures d'ensoleillement et de couverture de nuit isolante.The advantages of the system according to the invention are as follows: Together, it forms an extremely light and inexpensive solar collector. In summer, it serves as a solar collector during sunshine hours and as an insulating night blanket.

Lorsque la piscine n'est pas utilisée, il sert de couverture et de protection de sécurité principalement pour enfants.When the pool is not in use, it serves as a cover and safety protection mainly for children.

Les dessins annexes donnés à titre d'exemple non limitatifs permettront de mieux comprendre les caractéristiques de l'invention.The accompanying drawings given by way of nonlimiting example will allow a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention.
