Abstract

The swimming pool cleaning system includes guide wires (2) mounted beneath the surface of the pool. The wires may, for example, be mounted between the wall and the liner of a pool with an inner liner containing the water. The wires define a circuit so that the cleaning head may be guided around the pool, avoiding obstacles. The spacing between the wires is a function of the size of the cleaning head (B). A detector (4) in the cleaning head senses the wires and corrections to the path of the head are made by water jets placed on the hand (11) of the appliance. The correction may alternatively be made by electric or hydraulic motors. ADVANTAGE - The system provides an automatic and thorough technique for cleaning a swimming pool.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de nettoyage automatique des piscines qui utilise un balai filoguidé (1). Les systemes proposés actuellement sur le marché ont l'inconvénient de balayer de maniere aléatoire ou manuellement par télécommande. Dons le premier oyes, il est nécessaire de laisser appareil trés longtemps en fonctionnement pour outil puisse selon un chemin aléatoire nettoyer sons oublier la moindre surface. Le mode de gui doge manuel permet de parfaire le nettoyage.The present invention relates to an automatic pool cleaning device which uses a wire-guided broom (1). The systems currently available on the market have the disadvantage of scanning randomly or manually by remote control. Give the first oyes, it is necessary to leave device very long in operation for tool can according to a random way to clean up sounds to forget the least surface. The mode of manual gui doge makes it possible to perfect the cleaning.

Le présente invention permet par l'utilisation de la technique du filoguidage passif ou actif de nettoyer toutes les surfaces définies en un minimum de temps et avec précision sens oublier aucune surface.The present invention makes it possible, by using the technique of passive or active filoguidance, to clean all the defined surfaces in a minimum of time and with precision meaning to forget no surface.

En effet le fil (2) de guidage du balai est mis en place lors de la construction de la piscine. Pour une piscine carrelée le fil doit être noyé dons l'enduit de surface avant la pose du carrelage. Dons le cas d'une piscine dont la couche de polyester est appliquée directement contre la paroi ou une piscine en coque polyester, le fil sera noyé en surface du polyester brut avant la mise en place de la couche de finition,
Pour une piscine avec liner, le fil de guidage du balai est fixé entre la paroi et le liner lors de la construction de la piscine ou lors d'une dépose du liner.Indeed the wire (2) for guiding the blade is put in place during the construction of the pool. For a tiled pool, the wire should be embedded in the surface plaster before tiling. Given the case of a pool whose polyester layer is applied directly against the wall or a pool shell polyester, the wire will be embedded in the surface of the raw polyester before the establishment of the topcoat,
For a swimming pool with liner, the guidewire of the broom is fixed between the wall and the liner during the construction of the pool or when removing the liner.

Le chemin tracé par le fil sera défini en prenant soin d'éviter les obstables (Echelles, escaliers etc..) et la distance (3) entre deux chemins paralleles sera fonction de la largeur de nettoyage du balai. Le circuit tracé permet au balai en fin de parcours de repartir pour un nouveau cycle de nettoyage selon un chemin identique ou différent.The path drawn by the wire will be defined taking care to avoid obstacles (ladders, stairs etc ..) and the distance (3) between two parallel paths will be a function of the cleaning width of the brush. The traced circuit allows the broom at the end of the course to start again for a new cleaning cycle according to an identical or different path.

La tête de détection (4) du fil de guidage sera insérée dans le balai et un systeme (Hoirs d'eau) de pilotage du balai (5) relié par la liaison (10} actionnera les commandes au niveau du balai afin de le guider automatiquement sur la trajectoire matérialisée par le fil.The sensing head (4) of the guidewire will be inserted into the broom and a broom control (Waters) system (5) connected by the link (10) will activate the controls at the broom to guide it. automatically on the path materialized by the thread.

Les commandes pourront etre exécutées a l'aide de tuyeres (6) placées sur le manche (1 1) du balai ou par moteur électrique ou hydraulique (7). The controls can be performed using nozzles (6) placed on the handle (1 1) of the brush or by electric motor or hydraulic (7).

Pour les tuyères refoulantes, il sera nécessaire d'amener au niveau du balai l'eau sous pression générée par la pompe de la piscine ou une pompe indépendante. Avec des tuyeres aspirantes le systeme sera plus simple puisqu'il suffira simplement de dévier le flux d'espi ion (9) déja présent au niveau du balai. Chaque tuyère sera actionnée par une électrovanne pilotée au moyen d'un dispositif électrique (Situé de préférence en dehors de l'eau} et couplé e la tête de détection du fil de guidage. Si le balai est constitué d'une couronne a effet ventouse ( il sera possible d'effectuer le nettoyage des surfaces meme verticales de la piscine. Ce systeme sera donc particulièrement intéressant pour équiper les balais qui avancent par vibration.For the thrust nozzles, it will be necessary to bring the water under pressure generated by the pump of the pool or an independent pump to the level of the blade. With suction nozzles the system will be simpler since it will simply be necessary to divert the flow of espi ion (9) already present at the level of the broom. Each nozzle will be actuated by a solenoid valve controlled by means of an electrical device (preferably located outside the water) and coupled to the detection head of the guidewire If the sweeper consists of a sucker crown (It will be possible to clean the even vertical surfaces of the pool and this system will be particularly interesting to equip the brushes that advance by vibration.

Si l'avancement du balai s'effectue au moyen d'un moteur électrique ou hydraulique, la solution la plus simple consiste ô intégrer au systeme de pilotage existant les fonctions de détection du fil de guidage et de correction de la trajectoire. L'autre solution plus complexe sera d'installer comme précédemment des tuyères aspirantes ou refoulantes directement sur le balai ou sur un manche disposé ô cet effet. Si ce type de balai ne dispose pas de couronne ventouse seul le nettoyage des surfaces horizontales ou de faibles pentes pourra être réalisé. If the advancement of the blade is effected by means of an electric or hydraulic motor, the simplest solution is to integrate into the existing control system the functions of detection of the guide wire and correction of the trajectory. The other more complex solution will be to install, as before, suction or pressure nozzles directly on the broom or on a handle arranged for this purpose. If this type of brush does not have a suction cup only cleaning of horizontal surfaces or small slopes can be achieved.
