Supports (15) are welded to the gutter on the side remote from the pool and, where required, are welded to the pool wall (9) and/or side wall (11). The base of the gutter is preferably disposed into the pool side wall.

Description

The invention has a basin, in particular S eh w in the basin a sealing skin, pool walls, which, based on the water in the Basin upwards over a substantially horizontal, if necessary rounded and / or round crown completed are and a groove connected to this for overflowing Water to the object.

In the case of pools, especially for use by humans it for children or adults for bathing, swimming or even for athletic competition, hygiene is an issue particularly high demands, further due to the ever increasing susceptibility to allergies use of chemical agents, be it based on chlorine or ozone is held. For keeping the water clean and disinfecting the same will either be discontinuous or continuous deducted from the pool and a physical and / or chemical Subjected to treatment. With physical treatment are suspended filters and. like. secluded, whereas in chemical treatment outside the pelvis one Disinfection can already be done and by one suitable mixing of the disinfectant with water harmful concentrations in the pool can be avoided. There are several ways to drain the water from the pool Constructions known. The simplest design is that in the. Side ends of a basin suction openings and Inlet nozzles are provided for the water. With appropriate Arrangement can be a partial exchange of water in the Basin done. Since the openings or nozzles are only limited Number available, there will be no complete exchange of the Liquid carried out in the basin, but there are corner areas in which the water is essentially from the No fluid flow between the nozzles and the openings is detected.

To the water essentially at the level of the water level To be able to pull evenly around the pelvis is already known to provide overflow channels inside the basin, which can also serve as a handle. Such a thing Swimming pool is for example in DE 88 03 147 U described. A disadvantage of such a pool is that the Overflow channel is arranged inside the basin, so that the There is a desire to extend this overflow channel horizontally to be as small as possible in order to make the freely available area of the To keep the basin as large as possible. Furthermore, the water level of the pelvis lowered compared to that surrounding the pelvis Terrain.

DE 21 05 837 U1 describes a basin, in particular Swimming pools, known to have the crown of the side walls are arranged inclined to the inside of the pool. After that Inside the pelvis there is a bead in the crown, which acts as a Handle serves. The crown of the side walls is from the water of the Basin overflowed, which in the adjoining it Channel. The gutter, in turn, is of a sturdy construction Grid covered. Such a construction enables that water is drawn off along the entire surface, where floating and floating impurities of the Water can be safely withdrawn and the water level of the pelvis at the height of the highest area of the crown can be held so that there is the possibility of Keep water level at the level of the adjacent terrain. This level equality also makes it user-friendly of the pelvis achieved that. related to by wind contaminants such as leaves, dust, etc. Like., in There are no storage spaces in the basin, which means that the same also about Cymbals can be carried by a wind or draft can.

US Pat. No. 5,425,145 A describes a swimming pool that has a sealing skin made of stainless steel. This swimming pool consists of individual modules that are welded together on site can be. A module also turns the crown formed, the same having a rectangular cross section and a welded one on the side facing a gutter Has support on which a grille to cover the gutter rests. Such a construction has a number of columns in which microorganisms can colonize the are then difficult to remove. Also, the edgy Formation of the crown and the channel the evaporation of the water as well as promoting noise when draining.

Another pool is described in US 4,483,025 A has a sealed surface, with a on the basin Gutter connects. This gutter is covered by a cover whose part near the pelvis rests on a wall and the crown, over which the water flows out. The cover is over a tube, which is connected to the pool wall, is non-displaceable held. The crown has a rectangular cross section and is open at the bottom, this part of the cover with cooperates with the pipe. Both columns are formed, in which microorganisms can colonize, and also runs the water over the crown on the cover, the slits through which the water in the below Can flow freely. Through this free flow, on the one hand promoted the evaporation of water and on the other hand a strong noise generation promoted.

A swimming pool is described in EP 0 609163 A1 has a height-adjustable crown. This crown is in the essentially semicircular and can be screwed be adjusted vertically so that a horizontal Alignment of the entire crown of the pelvis can be carried out easily is. The pelvic sealing skin can be made of metal, for example Aluminum, but plastic films are preferred can also be placed over the crown and up to one outside the Basin arranged gutter to drain the water can be. The gutter in turn and also to the same leading wall of the crown can be, for example, stone slabs leaving a gap between crown and the same be covered. This stone slab is near the pool Side of the wall between the crown and the groove protruding Screws are arranged at different heights. Below the To the crown, a paragraph is provided on the side away from the basin the assembly facilities for changing the height of the crown as also to give space to the cover. This paragraph as well Screw connections for changing the height of the cover cause a larger surface area and current dead spaces, in which microorganisms, algae and lichen colonize can and permanent contamination of the water can contribute. Furthermore, the heel and the screws Flow baffles that redirect the overflowing Cause water, which leads to an acoustic load on the Users of a pool. This acoustic burden is particularly strong in that the sound is not only as Airborne sound, but also as structure-borne noise, u. between metallic sealing skin, is forwarded and thus in the Water from the entire pool. Show metals and water a significantly lower attenuation compared to sound waves than 5 air, so that they are the same for swimming pools with metallic Sealing skin are particularly strongly forwarded, with which the acoustic exposure of the user of a pool not only in the immediate vicinity of the side wall, but also removed t is given by the same. Such noise exposure is not only used for sports pools, but also for other pools, such as for healing purposes, especially felt annoying.

The present invention is based on a prior art, as given by US 4,483,025 A or EP 0 609 163 A1.

The present invention has for its object a pool to create water that is especially for people for sports, Therapy and pleasure purposes, which is user-friendly is and allows a water level that the height of the subsequent terrains can correspond to a continuous one and rapid separation of floating and suspended matter of different Size extension allowed, the surface layer the water is drawn off over the entire pool can. Further objects of the present invention exist in this. the decontamination of the water drained from the pool due to pollutants, especially microorganisms to keep low and the emission of sound and water vapor by minimizing the draining water.

The pool according to the invention, in particular swimming pools, with a sealing skin. z. B. made of plastic, especially metal, z. B. stainless steel, pool walls, which, based on the Water in the basin, upward through an essentially, related on the circumference of the pool, horizontal, rounded if necessary and / or round, crown are completed, one attached to this adjoining gutter with bottom to drain the crown overflowing water, with a downward, based on the Crown, especially the bottom of the gutter, draining drain and a tread-proof cover of the gutter, the highest Area of the crown over a wall inclined to the vertical, along the water from the pool to the gutter with a side wall flows, merges into the gutter and the sturdy cover at a distance from the side wall, wall and / or crown is arranged and rests on supports, consists essentially in that the vertical section of the side wall and the Wall from the highest area of the crown to the groove in the is essentially steady and the wall and side wall as well if necessary, the channel is free from flow baffles and that the supports away from the basin, based on the gutter, in particular are supported on the wall of the gutter, especially connected, e.g. B. welded, and that if necessary the supports on the wall near the pool and / or Side wall, supported, in particular connected, for. B. welded, are and in the area of the support (Fig. 2, Fig. 4) in Vertical section, especially in section parallel to the wall and / or side wall, free of flow baffles, in particular with constant horizontal extension, downwards continuously tapering and / or round or rounded, trained are.

Basins with a sealing skin have the advantage 1 that, so required a division of the properties for the pelvic wall can be achieved. The sealing skin can, for example serve only for sealing, whereas the mechanical Strength can be given by other construction elements.

Basin made with a metallic sealing skin, in particular stainless steel, have the advantage that Weather and especially UV-resistant pools created can account for the high thermal stresses wear. Furthermore there is a special mechanical resistance given the high compressive and tensile strength of metal. The horizontal crown of the walls of the pool turns one ensures uniform removal of the surface layer of the water, so that the floating and floating Contamination of the water is deducted over the entire surface can be. By rounding off the crown The wall of the pool can easily injure the user can be avoided, for example a circumferential bead in the crown can be provided, which serves as a handle bar. The to the outside, related to the inside of the pool, subsequent gutter ensures the drainage of the surface water of the pool, the gutter being provided around the entire circumference of the pool can be. With a sturdy, preferably removable, Covering the gutter can be used without restrictions Basin as well as the area adjacent to it be realized. With the wall, in particular with is inclined at an angle of 12 ° to the vertical, from the highest The area of the crown to the gutter prevents surface water penetrates into the structural parts of the pool. The fact that the covers of the gutter and possibly the Supports spaced from the wall and / or crown the water can flow into the gutter along the wall. If a support for the cover is supported on the wall, z. B. connected, so a structural unit between the gutter and crown are obtained which have a particularly precise positioning the walls of the pool allowed because the gutter with supports serves as longitudinal and transverse stiffening. By welding the columns with the wall are particularly easy to create gaps between supports and wall, in what contaminations can be avoided. Shows the support in vertical section, especially in the section parallel to the wall, in the area the connection has a cross section which is free of Flow baffles for the water, so on the one hand Dead spaces for the flow of water can be prevented in what contamination over long periods due to lack of Flow can exist, on the other hand, an im essentially constant laminar flow from the pool draining water can be reached on the wall, so that no noise emission caused by turbulent flows occurs. Particularly advantageous designs without flow baffles are cross sections with constant horizontal extension, tapering downwards and / or round or rounded. Are the vertical sections of the wall of that the highest area of the crown to the groove is essentially constant, so a laminar flow of the flowing from the basin Water can be reached, making both a particularly quiet Drainage and slight evaporation of the water guaranteed can be. Are the wall and, if necessary, the channel free? of flow baffles, so there is no water drainage acoustic load ensures, at the same time a special there is little evaporation.

If the bottom of the gutter is round and / or rounded off over the side walls of the gutter, so even with a gutter, in which is only a thin layer of water when flowing in the water does not cause additional acoustic pollution.

If the drain is connected to the bottom of the channel in a fluid-tight manner, then the water in the gutter can be particularly low are held, furthermore a formwork line of the discharge noises inside the gutter by one present in it Water can be avoided.

There are suction openings in the side wall of the gutter that is far from the pool intended for air, so large amounts of air can be extracted be, without thereby affecting the flow causing water to drain off.

In order to avoid any risk of injury to the user, the Distance of cover to wall and / or crown less than the diameter of the toes or fingers of pelvic users. In addition, however, the distance must be so large that a free one Flow of water is guaranteed.

If the cover lies over a frame, if necessary with Floor, e.g. B. from perforated sheet on the supports, so the Cover made of various small parts, such as tiles, stone slabs, Metal plates u. The like. Due to the liquid permeable Floor, e.g. B. from perforated sheet, is the assembly of the individual parts for the cover, for example with a Adhesive for the tiles, particularly easy to carry out. Thereby, that the frame rests on the supports, the stress, especially tensile stress, from the cover over the Frame can be easily transferred to the supports, which any tensile stresses on the cover is worn.

If the cover is designed with a grate, it can be opened proven construction elements are used, which in addition to the high mechanical strength, a drainage of Water surfaces that come from the subsequent terrain, simply allowed.

Is the highest area of the crown higher than that area of the tread of the cover near the pool, so Avoiding any backflow of water and a deposit of floating or floating contaminations the cover and not on the crown.

If the supports under the cover are at least partially based on the area that is connected to the wall spread parallel to the cover, e.g. B. as an angle or T-profile trained, on the one hand is a favorable flow Training given the supports in the area of the wall and on the other hand, the largest possible area for power transmission Cover to the supports can be easily implemented.

The supports rest on a rest on the side wall far away from the pool on, on the one hand, the form stability of the channel can be achieved by the catch be increased and on the other hand the assembly of the supports, u. tw. Welding the same to the side wall, simply carried out become. There is also a tolerance compensation for assembly of the pelvis guaranteed.

Is the cover on the far side wall or the Articulated supports so maintenance work in the gutter can be special easy to do because the cover is only must be opened to release the gutter. such Maintenance work can also be done by one person be made, which makes the maintenance of the pool much easier becomes.

Is the sealing skin of the crown with the side wall near the pelvis the gutter connected overlapping, in particular welded, so is a reinforcement of both the crown and the side wall the gutter realized simply and effectively, due to the Inclination of the wall, e.g. B. the sweat area of water simple can be overflowed without additional flow Effects on the water. Is the side wall in the area of the overlap closer to the basin than the sealing skin of the Crown, so the connection of the surface is particularly easy with film the least turbulent water can be achieved.

Make the crown and cover straight in cross section Areas on which are equal angles with the horizontal include, so a uniform handling around the pelvis be preserved.

Are the crown and / or the side walls and the bottom of the Channel formed essentially flat and rounded in the Areas of transition of the flat surfaces are provided on the one hand a particularly small surface area of the crown as well the gutter ensures, furthermore gap spaces as they pass through Corners and Like. Are simply avoided, so that neither Contamination still preferred noise occur.

The invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings explained.

It can too other materials, e.g. B. plastic films, plastic plates, coated metal sheets can be used. The crown 3, which is also referred to as a head, has a bead 4 which serves as a support for users. The crown is around the pelvis all around and horizontally oriented so that evenly over the entire pools overflow the surface layer of water can. The groove 5 adjoining the crown is also about that Basin arranged around and has a plurality of drain lines 6 for the water on, which also slants down can be directed so that the water can drain off particularly quietly can. The highest area 7 of the crown corresponds to the water level 8 of the pelvis and redirects to the vertical v an acute angle α of 12 ° inclined wall 9 in the channel 5. The channel has a bottom 10, a side wall near the basin 11 and a tank distant side wall 12 on. The Sealing skin 2 is continuously continuous over the crown 3 up to the wall 9. The continuous side wall 11 is below the wall 9 arranged so that the overlap 13 is designed such that the water film continuously over the weld 14, over which the wall 9 with the side wall near the pool 1 t connected, can flow. A butt weld joint can meet the requirements of the invention particularly well. Around the pool edge there are a large number of channels 5 of supports 15 provided on the one hand on a rest 16 in the rest side wall 12 distant from the pool and on the other hand with the Wall 9 or possibly with the side wall near the pool 11 rest and are welded The supports can also end in front of the side wall 12 or wall 9. The transition from the crown 3 into the groove 5 is smooth, d. i.e., under Exclusion of flow baffles for one from the pool flowing water film is formed. Both the crown as well the channel have essentially flat areas 17, 18 which merge into roundings 19 or 20 to the floor. The bottom 10 has a plurality of drain lines 6. additionally or instead of the air suction via the drain line 6 suction openings 21 also in the side wall 12 remote from the basin be provided. Both the crown 3 and the cover are inclined towards the inside of the pool.
