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-A-0 209 646, EP 0215514, DE-U-8631764.4. By the U.S. 4,563,781 circulable supply systems are disclosed. The preamble of claim 1 is based on DE-A-2 940 269. These known devices have the disadvantage that the nozzle orifices open in the direction of flow of the jet 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. With the slightest contamination of the valve seats with lime, hair, etc., a reliable seal is no longer
  • Diaphragm valves flutter in a depressurized state and in particular allow bathing water to enter the supply system when the diaphragm is not pressurized.
  • Residual amounts of water can be blown out of the supply system with the aid of compressed air without splashing water getting into the indoor pool.
  • 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 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 openings and outlet opening change their function.
  • the invention enables the design of closable single-jet nozzles which are used to feed two different media, the feeds for each medium being able to be closed or opened individually.
  • 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.
  • 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 illustrations in the drawings are therefore to be seen as examples that can be combined, each of which, viewed individually or in combination, represents a separate invention.
  • Features which are illustrated, for example, by the representation of the jet nozzle for a medium can be seen in detail in their own right, and can also be used for jet nozzles which serve to irradiate two media.
  • the circulation pump 1 and the feed system are preferably arranged in a ring around the water basin 2.
  • the pressure side of the pump 1 is connected to at least one valve, preferably a multi-way valve 4.
  • the pressure line 6 is connected, which leads to at least one jet nozzle 7 in its course.
  • the multi-way valve 4 is preferably designed as a four-way valve.
  • a valve body 10 preferably in a cylindrical or piston-like shape, is inserted, which is movably mounted, serves transverse valve openings and which is in contact with the flowing medium, which preferably acts against its end faces an opening and a closing position is movable.
  • the valve body 10 On the face side, preferably coaxially, the valve body 10 is guided against a valve seat 11.
  • the valve body is preferably sealed in the radial area by two O-rings 12. The medium is radiated into the inner basin through the opening 13.
  • the pressure line 17 is connected, which in its further course leads to the connection 18 of the jet nozzle 7.
  • the pressure line 17 is flooded and the pressure line 6 is released via the connection 5 in the direction B-C.
  • the line 20 leads from the connection 19 to the suction line 15.
  • the medium located within the supply system is accelerated by the pump 1, it pushes the valve body 10 out of its seat 11.
  • the valve body 10 closes the radiation port 13 radially or transversely.
  • the medium flow now leads via the pressure line 6 back to the multi-way valve 4 , passes position BC there and reaches the circulation pump 1 or the closed circulation circuit via the suction line 15.
  • the circulation can detect one or more jet nozzles I, 11, 111, etc.
  • the jet nozzles are preferably arranged parallel to one another.
  • the line section 20 is cut off from the circulation during normal bathing.
  • An addition point 22 is arranged within this route, via which chemicals, for example, chemicals can be added to the circulation circuit.
  • the circulation medium is emptied into the inner pool 14 through the suction line 15 after the circulation operation.
  • the circulation takes place when the water pool is full, the inner pool itself being cut off from the circulation.
  • a controlled circulation medium drain device or a valve that can be closed by pump pressure, as will be described below.
  • the suction line 15 preferably carries a holding valve 30 which can be a check valve which opens during normal bathing operation due to the suction power of the pump 1, but is cut off during the circulation operation through the line section 20, so that the pump suction power does not open the holding valve can 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.
  • FIG. 3 it is proposed either to close the radiation opening separately for each medium or, according to FIG. 4, to only close the common radiation opening before entering the inner pool 14.
  • the circulation medium is transferred directly into the air-carrying supply line 24, it only needs to be flooded there or returned to the line 6.
  • the jet opening of the nozzle 26 for the second medium is preferably also closed by a cylindrical valve body 27, which can be a piston. It is proposed to effect the opening process by means of auxiliary energy, preferably by means of a spring 37. The closing process can be effected by the circulation means. However, it is also possible to use the valve body 27 to move by a pressure from a control line 42. In this case, the means of transport from line 6 can be used or an independent pressure generator can be connected via control line 42. The control pressure acts on the valve body via the space 39.
  • the spring 37 can also be accommodated in the space 39 or act against the valve body 27 in the opposite part of the nozzle housing.
  • the control line 42 can, however, also be provided as a bore which transfers the transport medium from the lower part of the nozzle housing with the feed line connection 6 into the upper housing part with the space 39.
  • the valve body 27 is preferably sealed again by O-rings 12.
  • the inlet or outlet opening 13, 26, 36 is radially closed or opened.
  • line 24 is flooded via an opening 36 which is either opened and closed by valve body 27 or via an additional valve 40 which opens under pressure from line 24 and closes automatically.
  • the valve can have a free outlet to the channel or can open into line 6.
  • the nozzle housing in turn becomes a multi-way valve, which on the one hand serves to irradiate the interior 14 of the water basin, and on the other hand serves to continue or flood at least one medium.
  • the closure of the nozzle mouth can of course also be provided by some other device serving for the closure, such as for example caps or balls.
  • the jet nozzles 7 are preferably designed such that the valve bodies for closing or opening orifices and / or drains are built directly into the jet nozzle housing.
  • the flushing mode of operation is characterized by the opposite medium flow direction to the bathing mode.
  • the flow path via the multi-way valve 4 from A to D and from B to C is used.

  • valves 10, 27 are reversed, it is possible to flush the entire system with air.
  • Compressed air can also be supplied via line 17, the functions described above being obtained analogously. It is advantageous to use the compressed air generator, which is part of the equipment for generating an air bubble without this in a large number of hydro massage pools. Only a cleaning solution can then be added to the air flow, which can be added, for example, by an atomizer.
