Description

The invention relates to a splash water/overflow water collecting system for swimming baths according to the preamble of claim 1.

In swimming pool technology pool and tub corpuses are known which are equipped with an overflow collection system. To allow large area water overflow and surface drainage such pools are equipped with a so-called overflow channel or flooding channel which is disposed on the upper edge of the pool completely or partially encircling the same. A further purpose of such overflow channels, serving primarily for cleaning the surface, is to receive bathing water overflowing due to a water pump system, to waves or water displacement e.g. when bathers enter the pool and to collect and feed this water to at least one separate splash water container. Together with overflow and splash water all kinds of dirt particles make their way into the reservoir, a considerable part of which accumulates on the reservoir wall, forming nuclei and requiring laborious removal.

From the citation DE 37 44 355 C1 a method and a device for processing water in swimming pools having at least one pool is known. Surface water as splash water is removed from the pool and fed via an open splash water container, lying on a lower level that the pool, to a filter system. Bottom water is fed directly to the filter system from the lower area of the pool, in particular, at the bottom thereof. The water from the splash water container and the bottom water taken from the lower pool area is fed into a common conduit and fed to the filter system by a common circulating pump. For regulating the ratio of splash water to bottom water the flow rate of the bottom water is controlled prior to the merging and the flow rate of the splash water is automatically hydraulically controlled as a function of the pressure environment existing prior to the circulation pump. A disadvantage of the known method or the known device is the necessity of cleaning and disinfecting the splash water container on a regular basis. A further disadvantage is that, in order to clean the surface area, the entire volume flow is constantly guided over a general overflow gutter. Thus, overflow gutter must be cleaned at least once a week. Water containers must be emptied, cleaned, disinfected and thoroughly rinsed at least once every six months, better even once every three months.

The document DE 37 44 355 C1 discloses a splash water/overflow water collecting system exhibiting the features of the preamble of claim 1.

From the citation CA 2 484 571 an arrangement to remove solid substances, in particular, sand deposited on the bottom of a tank, from a tank holding crude oil drawn from an oil well is known. To that end in the tank ring-shaped conduits with numerous nozzles are disposed which are pointed into the tank such that a cleansing fluid sprayed through the nozzles generates a vortex transporting the sand into the centre of the tank where it is syphoned off together with the cleansing fluid.

The object of the present invention is to modify a splash water/overflow water collecting system for swimming baths according to the state of the art in such a manner that frequent, separate and elaborate cleaning of the reservoir is no longer required leading to a minimum of maintenance expenditure while still attaining a continuous good cleaning of the reservoir.

This task is solved by means of a swimming bath having the features of claim 1.

Advantageous and useful further developments of the invention are specified in the sub-claims.

The invention shows a splash water/overflow water collecting system the reservoir of which is self-cleaning thereby considerably reducing the efforts for maintenance and cleaning and the cost associated therewith.

Moreover, cleansing water is saved and energy costs for heating can be reduced. In contrast to known devices deposits on walls and bottoms of the splash water/overflow water reservoir no longer occur. Until now such deposits had to be removed separately.

Subsequently, the invention shall be further illustrated by means of the attached drawing showing an embodiment example.

This shows in:

Fig. 1 a top view on a splash water reservoir according to the invention,

Fig. 2 a section A-A through the container according to Fig. 1,

Fig. 3 a section B-B through the container according to Fig. 1,

Fig. 4 a section C-C through the container according to Fig. 1 and

Fig. 5 a schematic view of a modified splash water reservoir according to the invention.

Identical and corresponding components have been allocated the same reference numerals in the figures of the drawing.

The drawing shows a splash water/overflow water reservoir 2 for swimming baths the swimming pool of which is provided with an overflow gutter for splash water and overflowing water on the edge of the pool completely or partially encircling the same receiving and collecting splash water and overflowing water and feeding to via at least one separate splash water container 2 via at least one outlet pipeline 3 designed as splash water/overflow water direct line. The reservoir 2 is connected via water bearing pipelines as well as via a circulation pump and a water treatment plant with filter system to the swimming pool in a closed water circulation system. Preferably, the reservoir 2 is provided with a connection 1 dedicated for the outlet pipeline 3 having a pre-filter 5 and a dirt collector 5‘, see Fig. 5.

The reservoir 2 comprises an injection pipeline 8 completely or partially encircling the container edge 6 having openings or nozzles 10 which provide a continuous rinsing of the inner wall surface 12 of the reservoir 2 with clean water. Hereby, the invention creates a self-cleaning splash water/overflow water reservoir.

The injection pipeline 8 is connected via a bypass pipe 9 to a usual clean water circuit, in such a manner that the rinsing of the inner wall surface 12 happens during continuous operation of the water treatment plant and/or the filter system using clean water. The term clean water refers to the water cleaned and disinfected by the water treatment plant which is fed back into the circuit.

The bottom 14 of the reservoir is provided with a slope 18 leading to a suction gutter 16 collecting dirt particles. The suction gutter 16 is provided with an intake socket 20 connected to which is a suction pipeline 22 on which a valve or ball tap 24 is disposed.

An emptying connection 26 with a stop cock 28 branches off the suction pipeline 22.

The reservoir 2 is provided with a variable spray head device 30 for rinsing the bottom 14.

Via the injection pipeline 8 it is also possible to rinse the inner wall surface 12 by means of a disinfection solution.

The reservoir 2 is provided with a fresh water connection 32 via which fresh water can be fed to the injection pipeline 8 and the variable spray head device 30 for carrying out an intensive thorough cleaning without having to enter the container, as was required previously. The reservoir 2 is provided with a man hole 34 with a screwable (screw connection 33) cover. Moreover, the reservoir 2 is provided with an inspection glass allowing continuous visual checks. Preferably, the inspection glass is designed to act, simultaneously, as cover of the man hole 34.

Preferably, the suction gutter 16 is provided with a ridge plate cover 36 that can be screwed (screw connection35) to the bottom 14.

At least one underwater spotlight 38 is disposed in at least one collection container wall.

The reservoir 2 is provided with an intake pipe 40 and an overflow 48.

Moreover, the reservoir 2 may be equipped with a level control 42 having a level detector connection 52, see Figs. 1,4 and 5, and with a ventilation device 44. The reference numeral 50 in Fig. 5 indicates a measuring water connection.

The reservoir 2 can be accessed via an inspection hatch 46.

Fins 7 and 7’ serve to attach the injection pipeline 8 and the splash water direct line 3.

Preferably, the reservoir 2 consists of hollow chamber profile panels, where appropriate, with a steel frame construction, and may be equipped with a thermal insulation which is preferably formed by air chambers of the hollow chamber profile panels.
