Definitions

  • These pools have a given depth, which generally corresponds to immersion up to the shoulders of a medium-sized person.
  • the solution is to provide a sloping pool bottom.
  • Such corridors are suspended from an external arm secured to a screw-nut assembly resting on the peripheral edge of the pool, just like the boat launching devices.
  • the power of the current is adjustable and even programmable with time-power cycles.
  • the water flows generated forming the currents have been improved and certain swimming pools are equipped with a closed-loop water circulation with an impeller placed in a casing at one of the ends of the basin which drives back to the at the other end, a laminar flow through a suitable opening and after passing under the pool bottom, more particularly in a double bottom provided for this purpose or by lateral channels formed laterally in the basin itself.
  • this device retains the advantages of the movable floor because it allows a change from the apparent weight to the real weight or vice versa, this advantage being well known in balneotherapy.
  • the resulting effect is even more advantageous since it makes it possible to vary an additional parameter which is the force generated by the current.
  • the device according to the invention also makes it possible to retain the advantages relating to the gradual launching or reduction of depth for short people, in particular children.
  • the device according to the invention furthermore comprises very specific means of displacement in height of the floor which limit the space requirement. in height, which are simple to carry out, which offer all the guarantees of safety and which limit the space in the pool.
  • the embodiment according to the invention makes it possible to comply very strictly with the hygiene rules.
  • the basin free of protruding element fixed on the bottom or on the walls is not subject to any accumulation of particles.
  • the device is characterized in that the current is a surface laminar current over a given height, oriented along the longitudinal axis of the basin.
  • the upper position of the floor is located above the coping so as to allow access to the entire basin.
  • the means of displacement in height they comprise two pairs of bent arms, articulated with respect to the edge of the pool at one of their ends and provided with support elements, provided to cooperate with the floor at the other end as well as lifting means arranged between a fixed support and the arms.
  • the lifting means comprise for each of the arms a jack whose body is articulated in rotation about a fixed axis perpendicular to the direction of movement of the piston of this jack, the free end of this piston being articulated to the corresponding arm.
  • the jacks are electric ball jacks.
  • end-of-stroke indicators arranged on either side of the cylinder body so that they are actuated during the pivoting of the cylinder body around the fixed axis, at angles which correspond to the positions. high and low.
  • the device includes a third end-of-travel indicator which is actuated by the cylinder body when the high position indicator is disengaged, this third indicator corresponding to the position of the floor above the coping to allow access to the entire basin.
  • a particular arrangement of the floor provides that it is articulated on one side at the ends of the arms of one of the pairs with a translation lock and supported on the other side by the arms of the second pair with free movement in translation.
  • a support frame resting on a floor, in which are integrated the basin and its means for circulating the water, water treatment means, arms and the floor, the lifting means, the coping and the deck area, so as to facilitate the initial installation and any subsequent movements.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a basin 10 with a coping 11 and a track 13, equipped with a floor mobile 12 comprising means 14 for moving the height of this floor and means 16 for circulating the water so as to create a current of water.
  • the basin is of substantially rectangular shape to allow good circulation of the water, knowing that the direction of the current generated by the means for circulating the water is oriented along the longitudinal axis of this basin.
  • the means for circulating the water comprise an impeller 18, means 20 for pumping the water into the basin at one of the ends according to a flow laminar, and means 22 for drawing water from the opposite end.
  • conduits 23 for the circulation of water.
  • a double bottom is provided under the bottom of the basin, which allows circulation of the return flow without disturbing the outward flow.
  • Such basins exist commercially under the brand "Swimex pool” which generate a flow of laminar water over a given and limited height, of the order of 40 centimeters to give an idea, with a speed adjustable by the paddle wheel rotation speed from a few m / h up to 20 km / h.
  • Some are equipped with a programmer to record particular sequences with a pre-established sequence.
  • the circulation can also intervene by the sides laterally, in the basin, these circulation conduits then serve as lateral benches.
  • the floor 12 comprises a plate 24 of dimensions substantially equal to the interior dimensions of the basin.
  • the height displacement means 14 comprise two pairs of arms 26, bent.
  • Each of these arms is articulated by one of its ends around an axis 28 in a yoke 29 secured to the edge of the basin while the other end supports the floor.
  • the ends of the arms of the other pair are connected by a transverse axis 30, which passes under the floor and which is equipped with rollers so as to allow the movements in translation of these ends of the arms relative to the floor.
  • the arms are arranged laterally and are housed between the edge of the pool and the edge of the floor.
  • Cylinders 32 are arranged between each of the arms and the edge of the basin.
  • Each of these jacks is an electric jack with a ball screw, this screw forming the piston 34 of the jack.
  • the body 36 of the jack is articulated around a transverse axis 38, fixed relative to the basin, so that the body pivots with variable angles as a function of the output of the piston of this jack, as can be seen in FIGS. 2 , 3 and 4.
  • the floor is in the low position, substantially pressed against the bottom.
  • the floor is in the high position, in line with the coping, so as to form a continuity between the deck and the floor.
  • an arm 26 is partially represented with a jack in the three extreme positions of the floor corresponding to FIGS. 3, 4 and 5.
  • limit switches 40, 42 and 44 which are arranged, the first on one side of the cylinder body and the other two on the other side.
  • the first indicator is activated when the cylinder has its piston in the retracted position, which corresponds to the floor pressed against the bottom.
  • the second indicator is activated when the jack has its piston partially extended, which corresponds to a position of the floor at the right of the coping 11 of the basin.
  • the third indicator is activated when the piston of the jack is out in the extreme position, after the second indicator has been disengaged, which corresponds to the position of the floor above the edge of the basin.
  • a first known use of this device consists in adjusting the water depth according to the size of the individual, in particular if it is a child. This is interesting for learning to swim for example.
  • the floor is in the low position, giving the basin its maximum water height.
  • the person is sub-immersed, so that his weight is an apparent weight, that is to say the weight of the person minus the buoyancy.
  • the current exerts its action at the height of the upper part of the bust, especially in the case of a laminar current, which locates the reaction efforts of the person well.
  • the floor can be raised so as to modify, on the one hand the point of impact of the current and on the other hand to transfer the resistant efforts of the person into efforts to regain his own weight .
  • the method also provides for placing the person in front but also for orienting it relative to the direction of the current so as to make practically all the zones of the body.
