Definitions

  • the invention is a further development of the hydromassage nozzle described in EP-B-209646.
  • Hydromassage jets are known in various configurations. They work on the principle of a water jet pump with or without the aid of a blower. They are used to generate an air bubble in water basins, so-called whirlpools.
  • Hydromassage jets are known which are provided for installation in the water basin side walls.
  • the assembly in the side wall has the disadvantage that the massage effect, which is usually caused by a water / air mixture, only hits the bathing guest lying in the bathtub to the side, while massage on the back is not possible. A comprehensive massage effect is not achieved. With such an arrangement, the body of the bathing guest is not exposed to a full massage. Splashing water occurs when such nozzles are installed in the area of the pool floor.
  • a further disadvantage of known hydromassage jets is that the irradiated medium (water and / or air) always has a specific jet direction, which may be adjustable, but only produces a small area-covering massage effect in a jet-like manner, in particular such known hydromassage jets cannot be closed.
  • Nozzles which serve the pure supply of compressed air.
  • the compressed air nozzles are distributed in a multiplicity of bores over the bottom surface and walls of the water basin, which naturally leads to sealing problems.
  • These nozzles like the first mentioned nozzles, cannot be closed, the nozzle mouths are not covered, bath water and soap residues can penetrate the supply system. This disadvantage leads to hygiene problems.
  • the hydromassage nozzle from which this invention is based also has disadvantages.
  • the distributor in the form of the jet deflection, deflection or deflection device placed in front of the nozzle housing in the jet direction generates a backflow in the direction of the air supply.
  • the backflow reduces the venturi effect or completely cuts off the air supply, so that sufficient amounts of air can only be mixed into the propellant jet if an additional compressed air generator is used.
  • the outlet opening (s) formed between the nozzle housing and the distributor cannot accommodate the increased volume flow of the mixture produced by the admixture of air and to be blasted into the tub.
  • the cross section of the outlet openings is enlarged, the jet pressure is disadvantageously reduced and the desired area coverage of the jet and the desired jet intensity for an effective massage are eliminated.
  • the channel walls of the various medium feeds are not shaped to be streamlined. Flow noise and high flow resistance form.
  • the water / air mixture is generated at a Venturi nozzle, which is connected upstream of the deflection of the jet in the desired direction of jet.
  • the known closure devices are also not aerodynamically shaped. They oppose the flowing medium with a high flow resistance, which disadvantageously leads to a water backflow which hinders or interrupts entry into the air supply line and the air supply. They are expansive in size and can only be accommodated in an axially movable manner in enlarged nozzle housings.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the function and mode of operation of a hydro massage nozzle known per se and to eliminate the disadvantages of known hydro massage nozzles. This is achieved through the characterizing features of the main claim and / or the independent ancillary claims.
  • the deflection of the propulsion jet in the approximately desired direction of irradiation, even before the media are mixed, has the advantage that the supply of the propulsion jet takes place under favorable flow conditions, a less powerful circulation pump can be used, the desired venturi effect is favored, water backflow into the air line is avoided, the turbulence of the media is significantly improved, flow noises are reduced.
  • the trapping jet (air) is sucked in in the already deflected direction of flow without flow resistance and both media flow into the inner basin without having to overcome narrow flow resistance and without any back pressure. Due to the mobility of the beam deflection plate, the direction of the radiation can be selected; the beam deflection plate can be equipped with known radiation openings of any shape. (Single-beam, multi-beam, round, slot-like, ring-like, in a radial or vertical arrangement.)
  • the object of the invention can be used as a wall or floor nozzle.
  • the medium radiation can be deflected both vertically and radially through appropriate radiation openings.
  • the irradiation can take place at any angle between 0-90 degrees to the assembly level.
  • the part referred to as the jet deflecting plate serves as a distributor of the medium to be blasted in, the jet opening (s) can be arranged over the entire area of 90 degrees to the plane on which the hydromassage nozzle is mounted.
  • both a multi-distributed water jet and a multi-distributed air jet can be blasted into the interior of the water basin. It is possible to use and select the known systems (water jet pump with injection air without or with blower, or only with blower) with only one nozzle housing. In the case of floor nozzles in particular, the jet of water and air that is generated is radiated into the interior of the water basin over a wide area, in a radial, ring-like, star-shaped or funnel-shaped manner, without splashing water in the vertical direction, which is why it can also be installed in basins with a shallow water depth, for example, foot basins .
  • the nozzles according to the invention can cover the entire surface of the water basin with a bubble and with a powerful massage. The risk of leaks is reduced to a minimum.
  • the nozzles according to the invention preferably provide the bathing guest with a wide-area underwater massage, set in pairs and parallel in the bottom of a water basin. By turning the body, the back, chest and side areas can be turned towards the nozzle-equipped pelvic floor.

  • the non-return device with a conical or spherical surface can be pivoted in a known manner for beam deflection and can be inserted into a vertically arranged bore in the beam deflection plate.
  • the features of claim 3 have the advantage that the flow paths are formed independently of the beam deflection plate and are covered by this as a cover.
  • the medium jet is adjustable in direction and can be jetted into the water basin through one or more jet openings in different directions.
  • the features of claim 5 have the advantage that the nozzle mouth is closed by a valve, that soap residues etc. cannot penetrate the supply system, that the supply system can be circulated and flushed with a cleaning agent at low flow pressure, and that detergent through the closed Poppet valve did not get into the water basin.
  • the design of the closure body as a poppet valve has the advantage of the particularly flat design, which advantageously serves on the one hand to close the nozzle mouth and, on the other hand, due to the plate-shaped design, serves to deflect the medium.
  • the direction of the medium radiation can advantageously be selected by the movable jet deflection plate designed as a poppet valve, and the nozzle mouth can be closed during pump downtimes.
  • a well-known and pivotable ball nozzle can advantageously be used in the poppet valve with a vertical bore as the jet opening. However, it is also possible to pivot the poppet valve with a vertical bore in a different way in order to change the medium emission direction.
  • the features of claim 6 have the advantage that known, tried-and-tested jet nozzles, such as a spherical nozzle; Slot nozzle, ring nozzle, etc. can be used and receive a closure device through the poppet valve according to the invention.
  • the features of claim 7 have the advantage that sealing of the poppet valve is achieved once on the nozzle housing, for example in the case of vertical medium radiation, and that sealing on the circumference of the beam deflecting plate or on the poppet valve is achieved on the other hand is, for example, with radial medium radiation.
  • FIG. 8 has the advantage that the poppet valve or the beam deflector are interchangeable and can be pivoted or adjusted by means of a screw thread.
  • the flange ring has the advantage that the poppet valve is clamped and sealed and can be exchangeably clamped.
  • the features of claim 9 have the advantage that the supply of at least one medium, preferably air, can be regulated and switched off from the inner basin by adjusting, rotating.
  • the features of claim 10 have the advantage that the flow velocity of the propulsion jet changes and the Venturi effect is favored that the deflection of the propulsion jet is initiated both radially outwards and radially inwards depending on the configuration of the constriction.
  • the features of claim 11 have the advantage that the beam outlet opening is formed at the end of the feed, which can be closed by the poppet valve, that the transition to the other feed is designed as a Venturi nozzle.
  • the features of claim 12 have the advantage that the deflection of the propellant jet is streamlined, that the propellant jet is broad, fan-shaped, funnel-shaped and is injected into the inner basin without vertical splashing water, that the air introduced into the inner basin with the propellant jet is at least approximately in sections is carried out parallel to the assembly level.
  • the features of claim 13 have the advantage that the deflection of the driving jet takes place in a streamlined manner and the elastic material serves as a closure device which can be moved by pressure of a medium into a radiation position opening the radiation opening and remains in a position closing the nozzle mouth when the pressure generator is switched off or the pressure of the detergent is low .
