Description

Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Wasserbecken mit Luftsprudelvorrichtung nach der Gattung des Hauptanspruches. Ein Wasserbecken mit diesen Merkmalen ist aus der GB-A-2 114 021 bekannt. Derartige Wasserbecken mit einer Luftsprudelvorrichtung werden für Massagezwecke eingesetzt, wobei unter Wasserbecken ein Hand- oder Fußbecken, eine Badewanne aber auch ein Whirlpool oder ein größeres Becken verstanden wird. Die Massagewirkung wird durch einen Luft- und/oder Wasserstrahl erzielt, der in das im Wasserbecken befindliche Wasser durch entsprechende Düsen eingeleitet wird. Hierdurch wird einerseits das im Wasserbecken befindliche Wasser bewegt und belebt und andererseits die diesem Strahl ausgesetzten Körperteile massiert. Bei diesen in vielfältiger Weise bekannten gattungsgemäßen Wasserbecken mit einer Luftsprudelvorrichtung wird das Wasser durch eine Pumpe aus dem Wasserbecken abgesogen und zur Strahlerzeugung über die Wasserdüsen wieder in das Beckeninnere eingeführt. Die Luft wird dabei im Prinzip der Wasserstrahlpumpe mitgeführt oder über ein Gebläse in das Beckeninnere eingeblasen. Bekannte Düsenkonstruktionen haben den Nachteil, daß Badewasserrückstände und Seitenreste in das Rohr- oder Kanalsystem eindringen können, was zu äußerst unerwünschten Auswirkungen führt. Als weiterer Nachteil zeigt sich, daß Düsen bekannter Bauart einen runden, punktförmig auftreffenden Massagestrahl erzeugen, wodurch natürlich die gewünschte Flächenwirkung einer Massage nicht erreicht wird. Die Strahlausformeinrichtungen sind nicht tauschbar, beispielsweise zur Ausformung eines fächerartigen, sternförmigen, rotierenden Strahles usw.The invention relates to a water basin with an air bubble device according to the preamble of the main claim. A water basin with these features is known from GB-A-2 114 021. Water basins of this type with an air whirlpool device are used for massage purposes, water basins being understood to mean a hand or foot basin, a bathtub but also a whirlpool or a larger basin. The massage effect is achieved by an air and / or water jet, which is introduced into the water in the water basin through appropriate nozzles. As a result, the water in the water basin is moved and animated on the one hand and the body parts exposed to this jet are massaged on the other hand. In these generic water basins with an air whirlpool device, which are known in many different ways, the water is sucked out of the water basin by a pump and reintroduced into the interior of the basin for jet generation via the water nozzles. In principle, the air is carried along with the water jet pump or blown into the interior of the pool via a fan. Known nozzle designs have the disadvantage that bath water residues and side residues can penetrate into the pipe or sewer system, which leads to extremely undesirable effects. Another disadvantage is that nozzles of known design produce a round, point-like massage jet, which of course does not achieve the desired area effect of a massage. The beam shaping devices are not interchangeable, for example for shaping a fan-like, star-shaped, rotating beam, etc.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Einstrahldüse der gattungsgemäßen Art so auszugestalten, daß eine besonders flache Bauart entsteht, die über die Beckenwand nicht wesentlich hinausragt. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The invention has for its object to design a single jet nozzle of the generic type so that a particularly flat design is created which does not protrude significantly beyond the basin wall. This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Die Erfindung hat den Vorteil, daß Wasser und/oder Luft solchen Düsen zugeführt wird, die im Bereich des Beckenbodens angeordnet sind. Die Erfindung ermöglicht Düsen, die über die Innenfläche der Beckenwandung nicht hinausgehen, so daß den Badegast keine aus der Wand herausragenden Düsenkörper stören.The invention has the advantage that water and / or air is supplied to such nozzles which are arranged in the region of the pool floor. The invention enables nozzles that do not go beyond the inner surface of the pool wall, so that the bather does not disturb nozzle bodies protruding from the wall.

Nach der Erfindung nehmen Düsenkonstruktionen tauschbare Einsätze auf, die einer mehrförmigen Ausstrahlung dienen. Dabei ist es möglich, Strahlausformdüsen zu wählen, die eine Ausformung fächerartig, sternförmig, rotierend, radial abgelenkt oder mehrstrahlig usw, ermöglichen, so daß vorteilhafterweise, je nach gewünschter Wirkung vom Innenbecken aus die gewünschte Strahlausformdüse eingesetzt werden kann.According to the invention, nozzle constructions take on exchangeable inserts which serve for a multiform radiation. It is possible to choose jet shaping nozzles that enable a fan-shaped, star-shaped, rotating, radially deflected or multi-jet shape, etc., so that the desired jet shaping nozzle can advantageously be used depending on the desired effect from the inner basin.

Die Ausgestaltung von rotierenden Düsen hat den Vorteil, daß auch größere Körperpartien einem solchen sich stetig bewegenden Strahl ausgesetzt werden können. Derartige Düseneinsätze zur unterschiedlichen Strahlausformung können natürlich auch in Wasserbecken der bekannten Art eingesetzt werden.The design of rotating nozzles has the advantage that even larger parts of the body can be exposed to such a continuously moving jet. Such nozzle inserts for different jet shaping can of course also be used in water basins of the known type.

Die Erfindung mit Rückschlagventilen hat den Vorteil, daß die Wasser- und oder Luftaustrittsöffnung nur zur Zeit des Massagebetriebes geöffnet ist und bei anderen Gelegenheiten unerwünschte Seifenreste und sonstige Badewasserreste in das Zuführungssystem nicht eindringen können. Die Reguliermöglichkeit dient der individuellen Einstellung.The invention with check valves has the advantage that the water and or air outlet opening is only open at the time of massage operation and on other occasions undesired soap residues and other bath water residues cannot penetrate into the supply system. The adjustment option is for individual adjustment.

Die Erfindung hat den Vorteil, insbesondere bei Luftzufuhr, daß anstelle einer Vielzahl von Einzeldüsen mit vertikalem Auslaß, wenige Einzeldüsen mit Breitenwirkung genutzt werden können, wobei das Sprudelzentrum eine besonders starke Massagewirkung erzielt. Anstelle von üblicherweise 40 bis 60 Einzelbohrungen für Einstrahldüsen sind lediglich 6 bis 8 erfindungsgemäße Düsen, jeweils mit radial abgelenkter bzw. gießkannenkopf-ähnlicher Ausstrahlung weitaus günstiger, es entstehen weniger Dichtstellen, durch Rotation des Auslaßstrahles wird die Massagewirkung weiter begünstigt, dabei kann ein Deckelventil als Rotor dienen. Auch diese erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist in Wasserbecken der bekannten Art einsetzbar.The invention has the advantage, in particular with air supply, that instead of a large number of individual nozzles with a vertical outlet, a few individual nozzles with a broad effect can be used, the whirlpool center achieving a particularly strong massage effect. Instead of usually 40 to 60 individual bores for single-jet nozzles, only 6 to 8 nozzles according to the invention, each with radially deflected or watering can-like radiation, are far cheaper, fewer sealing points are created, the massage effect is further favored by rotation of the outlet jet, and a cover valve can be used here Serve rotor. This device according to the invention can also be used in water basins of the known type.

Die Ausgestaltung der Erfindung mit einer Zugabestelle für Chemikalien etc. hat den Vorteil der Keimfreihaltung der Wasser- und/oder Luftzuführungen.The embodiment of the invention with an addition point for chemicals etc. has the advantage of keeping the water and / or air feeds free from germs.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der nachfolgenden Beschreibung der Zeichnung und den Ansprüchen entnehmbar.An advantageous embodiment of the invention can be found in the following description of the drawing and the claims.

Die Figur zeigt einen Schnitt durch eine Einstrahldüse mit Strahlablenkdeckel 72, umlaufendem Auslaßschlitz 71 und Ventilsitz 73 zwischen Deckel und Gehäuse 9 und zusätzlichem Ventil 74 innerhalb des Gehäuses.The figure shows a section through a single jet nozzle with jet deflecting cover 72, circumferential outlet slot 71 and valve seat 73 between cover and housing 9 and an additional valve 74 within the housing.

Die Figur zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße Düsenkonstruktion, die sowohl für Wasser-, Luft- oder Gemischeinstrahlung geeignet ist. Sie kann eingesetzt werden in ein Kanalsystem, sie kann auch über Rohrleitungen oder Schläuche angeschlossen werden.
Das Düsengehäuse 9 ist in der Beckenwandung 1 eingespannt. Ein Deckelventil 72, wie dies von der Form her beispielsweise als Stopfenventil bekannt ist, ist in der Düsenauslaßöffnung 71 des Düsengehäuses 9 gelagert. Zusätzlich zur Auslaßöffnung 71 zwischen Deckelventil und Düsengehäuse kann auch eine Vielzahl von radialen Bohrungen, vorzugsweise in radial-tangentialer Anordnung vorgesehenen sein. Das Deckelventil 72 sitzt im Ruhezustand in dem Sitz 73 etwa höhengleich mit der Einbauebene 1. Bei anstehendem Pumpendruck wird das Deckelventil 72 aus seinem Sitz 73 abgehoben und der Austrittsweg für das Medium wird frei. Bei nachlassendem Druck durch das Medium wird das Deckelventil 72 durch den Druck des Beckenwassers in seinen Sitz zurückgestellt, dabei dient es als Rückschlagventil. Zusätzlich ist auch ein Kugelrückschlagventil 74 vorhanden. Für die Rückstellung kann neben dem wasserdruck im Becken natürlich auch Eigengewicht oder Federkraft dienen. Das Deckelventil 72 ist tauschbar in dem Düsengehäuse 9 gelagert, der Mediumauslaß kann das Deckelventil unterbrechungslos umlaufen, der Mediumauslaß kann jedoch auch Unterbrechungen aufweisen, was zu einer strahlen- oder sternförmigen Strahlausformung führt.The figure shows a nozzle construction according to the invention, which is suitable for both water, air or mixture radiation. It can be used in a duct system, it can also be connected via pipes or hoses.
The nozzle housing 9 is clamped in the basin wall 1. A cover valve 72, as is known in terms of shape, for example as a plug valve, is mounted in the nozzle outlet opening 71 of the nozzle housing 9. In addition to the outlet opening 71 between the cover valve and the nozzle housing, a plurality of radial bores can also be provided, preferably in a radial-tangential arrangement. In the idle state, the cover valve 72 sits in the seat 73 approximately at the same level as the installation level 1. When the pump pressure is present, the cover valve 72 is lifted out of its seat 73 and the outlet path for the medium is cleared. When the pressure in the medium decreases, the cover valve 72 is returned to its seat by the pressure of the pool water, it serves as a check valve. There is also a ball check valve 74. In addition to the water pressure in the pool, dead weight or spring force can of course also be used for the reset. The cover valve 72 is exchangeably mounted in the nozzle housing 9, the medium outlet can circulate around the cover valve without interruption, but the medium outlet can also have interruptions, which leads to a radial or star-shaped beam shape.

Das Deckelventil kann auch wenigstens eine axial wirkende Mediumauslaßöffnung 70 besitzen. Die vorzugsweise in radial-tangentialer Anordnung vorgesehenen Bohrungen bewirken die Rotation des Deckelventils 72.The cover valve can also have at least one axially acting medium outlet opening 70. The bores, which are preferably provided in a radial-tangential arrangement, cause the cover valve 72 to rotate.
