Definitions

  • the invention is based on a water basin, in the peripheral walls of which jet nozzles for water and / or air are provided and the jet nozzle mouths are closable and whose feed system can be flushed through circulation of the circulating water.
  • Closable jet nozzles are known from EP 86105565.5, EP 0215514, G 8631764.4. Circulable supply systems are disclosed by US 4,563,781 and G 8627706.5. These known devices have the disadvantage that the nozzle orifices open in the direction of flow of the blasting medium towards the inner basin and close either by hydrostatic forces or with the aid of spring force. The valve seats do not close forcefully and are always subject to an unknown and changing locking force.
  • Residual water quantities can be blown out of the supply system with the aid of compressed air without splashing water getting into the inner basin.
  • the closure and / or opening process can be effected both by a gaseous as well as by a liquid medium or in combination. Auxiliary energy, such as the power of an additional hydraulic or pneumatic pressure generator, is also possible.
  • the closure and or the opening process is advantageously effected by the transport medium.
  • the transport medium can be: bathing water, circulation medium, compressed air or a mixture or an additional medium that is brought in by another pressure generator, for example fresh water from the domestic water supply, which also serves as a flushing agent.
  • the design of the nozzle housing with several inputs / outputs has the advantage that they can be used mutually, so that the valve body can be moved from different directions through the flowing medium and the nozzle housing itself is designed as a multi-way valve and the various valve movements, according to the desired Functions between inlet opening and outlet opening change their function.
  • the embodiment according to the features of claim 2 has the advantage that the opening and closing process of the valve body is precisely determined and also excess detergent pressure does not open the nozzle mouth to the inner basin.
  • the embodiment according to the features of claim 3 has the advantage that a simple, easily guided float ball is used for the closure of the nozzle mouth, which seals reliably under pressure and acts like a distributor due to its ball-like surface.
  • the buoyancy of a float ball inside the nozzle housing can be used to drain water that has penetrated from the supply system.
  • the embodiment according to the features of claims 4 and 5 has the advantage that the relatively high pressure of the circulation pump available is used for a powerful and reliable valve movement and the nozzle housing can be used as a multi-way valve.
  • Nozzle housing and multi-way valve can be combined as an inexpensive structural unit, and the connection options for the further supply or discharge lines can be incorporated into the housing at once.
  • the piston-like shape of the valve body enables sealing at different levels, such as, for example, on the end face, radially, radially offset, transversely.
  • the embodiment according to the features of claim 6 has the advantage that the end stop for the valve body can be incorporated into the nozzle housing or can be fixed or screwed by an exchangeable nipple.
  • the working and play space of the valve body can preferably be set and adjusted.
  • the embodiment according to the features of claims 7 and 8 has the advantage that a multi-way valve is formed within the single-jet nozzle housing, which releases or blocks the desired flow path depending on the mode of operation. For example, the discharge of residual water to the sewer or a collection point is possible. It is possible to circulate from nozzle to nozzle, no additional auxiliary energy from a servomotor etc. is required for switching.
  • the embodiment according to the features of claim 9 has the advantage that the different flow paths are opened or closed by a simple float ball and the different medium flow directions lead the closure body into the desired opening or closing position.
  • the embodiment according to the features of claim 10 has the advantage that the valve body is moved in a certain direction, for example by pressure from the domestic water supply or another external pressure generator. It is also conceivable to use the force of a spring force accumulator to bring about the movement of the valve body.
  • the embodiment according to the features of claim 11 has the advantage that the reversal of the medium flow direction is effected by a simple and inexpensive device and flows are preferably only generated with a pressure generator, which move the closure body into different valve positions.
  • valve body faces axially, in each case on the end face, two different flow directions, and that the valve body can in each case be moved under pressure on the end face into an open and / or a closed position, the directions of movement not are directed towards the indoor pool.
  • the invention enables the design of closable jet nozzles which serve to feed two different media, the feeds for each medium being able to be closed or opened individually. According to the invention, however, it is also possible to close nozzles for two different media at their common nozzle mouth. According to the invention, the closure of the nozzle mouth is connected to the opening of a further connection, the nozzle housing itself being designed as a multi-way valve. However, the invention also enables single-jet nozzles which serve to irradiate only one medium and which are opened and closed like a multi-way valve.
  • the representations in the drawings are therefore to be seen as examples which can be combined and which, viewed individually or in combination, represent a separate invention. Features which are illustrated, for example, in the representation of the single-jet nozzle for two different media can also be used in detail for single-jet nozzles that serve to irradiate only one medium and vice versa.

It is also conceivable to use a piston valve which, by moving the detergent pressure from line 20, blocks line 15 to the inner basin. The resetting can take place by spring force or by the pump suction power as soon as the flow direction is changed by changing over the multi-way valve 4.
  • the supply line carrying the other medium is also subjected to cleaning and rinsing and the circulation medium is also passed through this line.

  • circulation means is supplied to the nozzle housing 44 via the connection 57.
  • the valve body 43 is guided from position F to position G and closes the entrance to the inner basin 14 there.
  • the circulation medium reaches item E and is continued via the nozzle 58, preferably to one or more subsequent single-jet nozzle housings.
  • the inlet to the inner basin can also be single or multi-jet.
  • a distributor cover is also conceivable.
  • the connecting pieces 57, 58 can be molded or attached directly to the nozzle housing, the valve body 43 of course also being able to be used from the inside of the water tank, for this purpose only the constriction in item G needs to be inserted as a screw part into the nozzle housing.
  • the connecting pieces can of course also both be attached to the rear housing part, or be designed as side outlets.
  • a connection to an existing pressure line, such as a water line or compressed air line, can of course also be used as an additional pressure generator.
  • the pressure generator 55 can thus also be a corresponding connection to an existing pressure line.
