Description

Die Erfindung eine Whirlpool- oder Swimmingpool-Einströmvor­ richtung zur Erzeugung von Fluidstrahlen in einer Flüssigkeit, insbesondere von Wasser- und/oder Luft- oder Wasser-Luft- Gemisch-Strahlen sowie einen Whirlpool oder Swimmingpool.The invention is a whirlpool or swimming pool inflow device for generating fluid jets in a liquid, especially of water and / or air or water-air Mixture jets as well as a whirlpool or swimming pool.

Einströmvorrichtungen zur Erzeugung von Fluidstrahlen sind bei­ spielsweise aus der DE 39 41 819 C1 bekannt, wobei die dort beschriebene Einströmvorrichtung als Hohlleiste ausgebildet ist, die entlang ihrer Länge eine Vielzahl von Ausströmöffnun­ gen für das Fluid aufweist, die im Betrieb im Bereich und parallel zur Innenwand des Whirlpools oder Swimmingpools ange­ ordnet ist und die über eine Leitung mit einer außerhalb des Behälters angeordneten Pumpe verbunden ist. Diese Leitung ist durch einen Durchbruch in der Wand des Whirlpools oder Swim­ mingpools geführt und besteht aus einem Winkelrohr mit einem im Whirlpool oder Swimmingpool liegenden Rohrende, worauf die Hohlleiste über Schnapp-, Klemm- oder Steckverbindung lösbar verbunden ist.Inflow devices for generating fluid jets are in the known for example from DE 39 41 819 C1, the there The inflow device described is designed as a hollow strip which has a plurality of outflow openings along its length gene for the fluid, which in operation in the area and parallel to the inner wall of the whirlpool or swimming pool is assigned and which is connected via a line to one outside the Container arranged pump is connected. This line is through a breakthrough in the wall of the hot tub or swim mingpools and consists of an angled tube with an in Whirlpool or swimming pool lying pipe end whereupon the Hollow bar releasable via snap, clamp or plug connection connected is.

Alternativ oder auch zusätzlich können fest in der Whirlpool- oder Swimmingpoolwandung zu einer Einheit zusammengebaute Luft- und Wasserdüsen fest installiert sein.Alternatively or in addition, you can or swimming pool wall to form a unit and water jets are permanently installed.

Gleichgültig, ob die jeweiligen Einströmvorrichtungen auf die Poolwand aufgesetzt oder dort eingebaut ist, wird einheitlich über einen Luftansaugkanal Luft in ein Wasserdüsengehäuse geblasen, um das Wasser-Luft-Gemisch zu erzeugen.No matter whether the respective inflow devices on the The pool wall put on or installed there becomes uniform air into a water nozzle housing via an air intake duct blown to create the water-air mixture.

Zur Ausleuchtung von Whirlpools dienen in den Wannenboden oder die Seitenwand eingelassene Lichtstrahler. Bekannt sind auch lichttransparente Wannen, die von außen angestrahlt bzw. durch­ strahlt werden. Im Schwimmbadbereich verwendet man u. a. Unter­ wasserscheinwerfer. Die Be- und Ausleuchtung von Whirlpool­ wannen und Schwimmbädern wird häufig als kalt empfunden.To illuminate whirlpools are used in the tub floor or the side wall recessed light emitters. Are also known  light-transparent tubs that are illuminated from the outside or through be radiant. In the swimming pool area one uses u. a. Under water lights. The lighting and illumination of whirlpool tubs and swimming pools are often perceived as cold.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Whirlpool- oder Swimmingpool-Einströmvorrichtung sowie einen Whirlpool oder Swimmingpool zu schaffen, die bzw. der eine verbesserte Beleuchtungsanordnung aufweist.It is an object of the present invention, a whirlpool or Swimming pool inflow device as well as a whirlpool or To create a swimming pool that is improved Has lighting arrangement.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Whirlpool- oder Swimmingpool-Ein­ strömvorrichtung nach Anspruch 1 gelöst, die erfindungsgemäß durch eine Lichtquelle in der Wasserzuleitung gekennzeichnet ist. Der Wasserstrom leitet die eingeführten Lichtwellen bis in das Wannen- oder Poolbecken weiter, wobei durch die Wasser- Luft-Gemischeinströmung in Verbindung mit den auftretenden Bla­ senbildungen und Strömungsturbulenzen Lichtreflexionen auftre­ ten, die als angenehm empfunden werden. Diese Lichtreflexionen rühren zum Teil von partiellen, zum Teil auch von totalen Reflexionen her, je nach dem, ob der flüssigkeitsspezifische Grenzwinkel überschritten wird oder nicht. Hierdurch läßt sich beispielsweise erklären, daß Luftblasen im Wasser wie silber­ glänzende Perlen erscheinen.This task is done by the whirlpool or swimming pool Flow device solved according to claim 1, the invention characterized by a light source in the water supply is. The water flow guides the introduced light waves up to the bath or pool basin, whereby the water Air mixture inflow in connection with the occurring Bla formation and flow turbulence that are perceived as pleasant. These light reflections stir partly from partial, partly from total Reflections forth, depending on whether the liquid-specific Limit angle is exceeded or not. This allows For example, explain that air bubbles in water are like silver shiny pearls appear.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Maßnahme wird eine Lichteinstrahlung erzeugt, die sich zeitabhängig ändert und scheinbar keinen sich periodisch wiederholenden Gesetzmäßigkeiten unterliegt. Dies kann jedoch nur dann erreicht werden, wenn die Lichtstrahlen nicht unmittelbar von der Lichtquelle ausgehend in das Wasser gelangen, sondern über das einströmende Wasser als "Transportmedium".The measure according to the invention makes light irradiation generated that changes with time and apparently none is subject to periodically repeating laws. This however, can only be achieved when the light rays not directly into the water from the light source arrive, but over the inflowing water as "Transport medium".

Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 7 beschrieben. Further developments of the invention are in the subclaims 2 to 7 described.  

So ist vorzugsweise die Lichtquelle auf die Wasseraustrittsöff­ nung einer Düse gerichtet, d. h., die von der Lichtquelle ausge­ henden Strahlen werden in Richtung des Wasserflusses abge­ strahlt. Die Düse als Einströmvorrichtung kann fest in einem Whirlpool oder Swimmingpool eingebaut sein. Alternativ hierzu kann auch eine Hohlleiste mit einer Vielzahl von Ausströmöff­ nungen für das Fluid verwendet werden, wobei die Lichtquelle in dieser Hohlleiste hineinragt oder hineinstrahlt.So is preferably the light source on the water outlet directed towards a nozzle, d. that is, from the light source existing rays are directed towards the water flow shine. The nozzle as an inflow device can be fixed in one Whirlpool or swimming pool installed. Alternatively can also be a hollow bar with a large number of outflow openings tions for the fluid are used, the light source in this hollow strip protrudes or radiates into it.

Anstelle von Lichtquellen, die an der Einströmvorrichtung ange­ ordnet sind, kann nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung auf die nach dem Stand der Technik grundsätzlich bekannten Licht­ leiter bzw. Bündel aus Lichtleitfasern zurückgegriffen werden. Die Lichtleitfasern bestehen aus dünnen Fasern mit geringem Durchmesser von einige Mikrometer bis hin zu 1 mm und können deshalb als Lichtleiter verwendet werden, weil das hierin ein­ gestrahlte Licht an dem Fasermantel jeweils eine Totalreflexion erleidet. Der Vorteil dieser Fasern liegt in ihrer Flexi­ bilität. Die Lichtleitfasern oder Bündel von Lichtleitfasern werden an einer Stirnseite von einer Lichtquelle angestrahlt; das Licht tritt an dem anderen Ende, das in der Nähe der Aus­ trittsöffnung der Einströmvorrichtung liegt, aus, von wo ab das Wasser den "Lichttransport" übernimmt.Instead of light sources that are attached to the inflow device are arranged, can be according to a development of the invention the light basically known from the prior art conductors or bundles of optical fibers can be used. The optical fibers consist of thin fibers with little Diameters from a few microns to 1 mm and can be used as a light guide because the one here radiated light on the fiber cladding each a total reflection suffers. The advantage of these fibers is their flexi bility. The optical fibers or bundles of optical fibers are illuminated at one end by a light source; the light emerges at the other end, which is near the end outlet opening of the inflow device, from where the Water takes over the "transport of light".

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann die Hohl­ leiste transparent sein, vorzugsweise aus Acrylglas bestehen, so daß bereits die in dem Hohlleisteninnenraum auftretenden Lichterscheinungen beobachtet werden können.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the hollow bar be transparent, preferably made of acrylic glass, so that those already occurring in the hollow strip interior Light phenomena can be observed.

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die Licht­ quelle in der Helligkeit und/oder in der Lichtfarbe regelbar. Letzteres kann auch über Lichtfilter erzielt werden, die nur einen bestimmten Wellenlängenbereich des optisch sichtbaren Lichtes durchlassen. Im Bereich der vorliegenden Erfindung lie­ gen auch wechselnde Farbmischungen des eingestrahlten Lichtes. According to a further embodiment of the invention, the light source adjustable in brightness and / or light color. The latter can also be achieved using light filters, which only a certain wavelength range of the optically visible Let light through. Within the scope of the present invention also changing color mixtures of the incident light.  

Die Erfindung betrifft auch einen Whirlpool oder Swimmingpool, der mehrere Einströmeinrichtungen in Form von Einströmdüsen und/oder mindestens einer Hohlleiste besitzt, wovon mindestens eine der Einströmvorrichtungen mit einer Lichtquelle in der Wasserzufuhrleitung verbunden ist. Vorzugsweise wird eine Lichtquelle verwendet, die über mehrere Lichtleitfaserbündel Licht zu verschiedenen Wasseraustrittsöffnungen weiterleitet.The invention also relates to a whirlpool or swimming pool, of several inflow devices in the form of inflow nozzles and / or has at least one hollow strip, of which at least one of the inflow devices with a light source in the Water supply line is connected. Preferably one Light source used across multiple fiber optic bundles Passes light to different water outlet openings.

Einströmdüsen, die in eine Wannenwand fest eingebaut werden, sind im Prinzip bekannt. Die Wannenwand 10 besitzt einen Durch­ bruch, in den eine Dichtungsmanschette 11 eingesetzt ist, die mit Flanschen beide Seiten der Wanne abdeckt. In diese Dichtung ist ein Düsengehäusering 12 eingeschoben, der sich auf dem Durchbruchsrand der Wannenwand 10 abstützt. Dieser Ring weist eine Venturi-Düse 13 auf, die als Auslaßöffnung für das Luft- Wasser-Gemisch dient. Die Luft wird über eine Rohrleitung 14 und das Wasser wird über eine Rohrleitung 15 zugeführt. In diese Wasserrohrleitung mündet ein Lichtleitfaserbündel 16, dessen Stirnseite 17 als Austrittsfläche des am anderen Ende eingestrahlten Lichtes dient. Diese Stirnseite ist zu der Düsenaustrittsöffnung der Venturi-Düse 13 gerichtet. Das Licht wird in das Bündel von Lichtleitfasern 16 über eine externe, in dem Wannenumbau 17 abgedeckt gelegene Lichtquelle eingestrahlt. Alternativ hierzu oder zusätzlich kann eine Hohlleiste 20 ver­ wendet werden, die an ihrer Oberseite mittig aufgereihte Aus­ strömöffnungen 21 besitzt und die auf dem Wannenboden 22 auf­ liegt. Die Hohlleiste, die aus Kunststoff besteht, ist im Quer­ schnitt flach ausgestaltet und besitzt einen im wesentlichen ebenen Boden und eine bogenförmig gewölbte Oberseite, in deren Mitte sich die Ausströmöffnungen 21 befinden. Zur Fixierung der Hohlleiste 20 auf dem Wannenboden 23 besitzt diese unter ihrem Boden einen Haftsaum aus flexiblem elastischen Material. Erzeugt man in dem von dem Haftsaum umschlossenen Volumen ober­ halb des Wannenbodens 23 einen Unterdruck, so haftet die Hohl­ leiste auf der Wanneninnenseite. Statt des Saumes 24 können auch Saugnoppen oder ähnliches verwendet werden.Inflow nozzles that are permanently installed in a tub wall are known in principle. The tub wall 10 has a breakthrough in which a sealing sleeve 11 is inserted, which covers both sides of the tub with flanges. A nozzle housing ring 12 is inserted into this seal, which is supported on the opening edge of the tub wall 10 . This ring has a Venturi nozzle 13 , which serves as an outlet opening for the air-water mixture. The air is supplied via a pipe 14 and the water is supplied via a pipe 15 . An optical fiber bundle 16 opens into this water pipeline, the end face 17 of which serves as the exit surface of the light radiated in at the other end. This end face is directed towards the nozzle outlet opening of the venturi nozzle 13 . The light is radiated into the bundle of optical fibers 16 via an external light source which is covered in the tub conversion 17 . As an alternative to this or in addition, a hollow strip 20 can be used which has flow openings 21 which are lined up centrally on its upper side and which lies on the tub base 22 . The hollow bar, which is made of plastic, is flat in cross-section and has a substantially flat bottom and an arcuate curved top, in the middle of which the outflow openings 21 are located. To fix the hollow strip 20 on the tub floor 23 , this has an adhesive hem made of flexible elastic material under its bottom. If you create a vacuum in the volume enclosed by the adhesive seam above half of the tub base 23 , the hollow strip adheres to the inside of the tub. Instead of the hem 24 , suction pads or the like can also be used.

Wie Fig. 3 zu entnehmen ist, durchragt der Rohrstutzen 25 eines T-Stückes, das mittels einer Mutter 26 über eine betreffende Gewindeverbindung unter Zwischenlager einer Ringdichtung 27 angeschraubt ist. Das T-Stück weist ein Rückschlagventil auf, dargestellt durch Kugel 28, die in einem Ventilsitz ruht. Das in das Wanneninnere ragende Rohrende 29 ist mit der Hohllei­ ste 20 lösbar verbunden. Das T-Stück kann durch eine Kappe 30 abgedeckt sein, die zusätzlich Ausströmöffnungen 31 aufweisen kann. Die Hohlleiste 20 sowie die Kappe können aus durchsichti­ gem Kunststoff bestehen. Näheres zu der Hohlleiste ist der DE 39 41 819 C1 zu entnehmen.As can be seen in FIG. 3, the pipe socket 25 projects through a T-piece which is screwed on by means of a nut 26 via a respective threaded connection with an intermediate bearing of an annular seal 27 . The T-piece has a check valve, represented by ball 28 , which rests in a valve seat. The protruding into the tub interior pipe end 29 is detachably connected to the Hohllei ste 20 . The T-piece can be covered by a cap 30 , which can additionally have outflow openings 31 . The hollow strip 20 and the cap can consist of plastic made of transparent material. More information on the hollow strip can be found in DE 39 41 819 C1.

Neuerungsgemäß ragt in den Rohrstutzen 25 ein Lichtwellenlei­ ter 16. Dieser Lichtwellenleiter kann auch, ggf. über zusätzli­ che Wannendurchbrüche geführt im Inneren der Hohlleiste 20 angeordnet sein. Wie schematisch Fig. 4a und 4b zu entnehmen, läßt sich die vorliegende Erfindung bei Whirlpoolwannen 40 ver­ wirklichen. Die dargestellte Whirlpoolwanne besitzt mehrere Luft-Wasser-Gemisch-Einströmdüsen 41, zu denen jeweils ein Lichtleitfaserbündel führt, dessen zweites freies Ende von einer Lichtquelle angestrahlt wird, die sich in einer externen Hausung 43 befindet.According to the innovation, a Lichtwellenlei ter 16 projects into the pipe socket 25 . This optical waveguide can also be arranged in the interior of the hollow strip 20 , optionally via additional trough openings. As shown schematically in Figs. 4a and 4b, the present invention can be realized in whirlpool tubs 40 . The whirlpool tub shown has a plurality of air-water mixture inflow nozzles 41 , to each of which an optical fiber bundle leads, the second free end of which is illuminated by a light source which is located in an external housing 43 .
