Bäder sind spätestens seit der Römerzeit bekannt und dienen neben der Reinigung des Körpers auch der "Reinigung der Seele", d.h. der Entspannung und Erholung. Zu den seit dieser Zeit bekannten Ausführungsformen der Badewanne ist in der nahen Vergangenheit die Variante des Whirlpools hinzugekommen. Sein besonderer Wert liegt vornehmlich im Bereich der Entspannung und Erholung.Baths have been known since Roman times and serve alongside the Purification of the body also the "purification of the soul", i.e. of relaxation and relaxation. The embodiments known since that time the bathtub has been the variant of the whirlpool in the recent past added. Its particular value lies primarily in the area of Relaxation and recovery.
Bei einem Whirlpool sind in der Regel an den Wänden der Wanne Düsen vorgesehen, die mit Luft versetztes Wasser unter erhöhtem Druck in das Wasser der Badewanne einleiten. Diese Ausbildung führt dazu, daß das Wasser perlend in das Badewasser eintritt. Die aus den Düsen austretenden Wasserstrahlen bewirken einerseits eine leichte Körpermassage und führen andererseits zu einem angenehmen entspannenden Gefühl auf der Haut des Badenden.In the case of a whirlpool, there are usually nozzles on the walls of the tub provided the aerated water under increased pressure in the Introduce the bath water. This training leads to the fact that Pearl water enters the bath water. Those emerging from the nozzles On the one hand, water jets cause a light body massage and on the other hand lead to a pleasant relaxing feeling on the Skin of the bather.
Die konstruktiven Maßnahmen zur Ausrüstung einer Badewanne als Whirlpool umfassen einen Wasserkreislauf mit Umwälzpumpe, ein Luftführungssystem mit Ansaugöffnung, je ein Leitungssystem zur Führung des Wassers und der Luft und Whirlpooldüsen zur Einleitung des mit Luft angereicherten Wassers in das Badewasser. In der überwiegenden Zahl der Fälle wird die Umwälzpumpe mit konstanter Drehzahl betrieben. Dementsprechend ist der Druck des die Düsen verlassenden Wasserstrahls konstant vorgegeben und wird durch die Leistung der Umwälzpumpe bestimmt. Bei komfortabel ausgerüsteten Whirlpools sind elektronisch regelbare Umwälzpumpen vorgesehen, die es dem Benutzer ermöglichen, den Wasserdruck einzustellen. Die Luftzufuhr erfolgt häufig durch selbsttätiges Ansaugen von Luft mit Hilfe des Wasserstroms und wird über einen mechanisch einstellbaren Zuluftregler eingestellt. Mitunter ist auch ein regelbares Gebläse vorgesehen, das unter Beachtung der erforderlichen Sicherheitsvorschriften im Luftführungssystem integriert ist. Das Gebläse ist dabei häufig als Bypassgebläse ausgeführt, wobei der Zuluftregler in der zum Wassersystem führenden Leitung elektrisch/elektronisch angesteuert wird.The constructive measures for equipping a bathtub as a whirlpool include a water circuit with circulation pump, an air duct system with suction opening, one pipe system each for guiding the water and the air and whirlpool jets for introducing the air-enriched Water into the bath water. In the vast majority of cases the circulation pump is operated at constant speed. Accordingly the pressure of the water jet leaving the nozzles is constant specified and is determined by the performance of the circulation pump. at Comfortably equipped whirlpools are electronically controllable circulation pumps provided that allow the user to control the water pressure adjust. The air supply is often done by automatically sucking in Air with the help of the water flow and is mechanically adjustable Supply air regulator set. Sometimes an adjustable blower is also provided, that taking into account the necessary safety regulations in Air guidance system is integrated. The blower is often a bypass blower executed, the supply air regulator in the leading to the water system Line is controlled electrically / electronically.
Beim Aufbau von Whirlpoolsystem nach dem Stand der Technik ist es erforderlich, für das Luft führende System und das Wasser führende System jeweils eigene Elemente vorzusehen und die Elemente untereinander jeweils mit einer Leitung für Wasser bzw. für Luft zu verbinden. So enthält das System für Luft in der Regel einen Verteiler, der eingangsseitig durch einen Zuluftregler mit Luft versorgt, während ausgangsseitig die Leitungen für die Versorgung der Düsen mit Luft angeschlossen sind. Dabei ist es üblich die Düsen einzeln zu verschlauchen, d. h. von jedem Ausgang des Verteilers eine Leitung zu den Düsen zu verlegen. In Ausnahmefällen werden auch zwei Düsen in Reihe geschaltet und mit einem Ausgang des Verteilers verbunden. Beim Wasser führenden System sind in der Regel zwei Verteiler vorgesehen, die an beiden Seiten der Wanne jeweils unter dem Wannenrand angebracht sind. Zu jedem der Verteiler hin führt eine Leitung von der Umwälzpumpe, während vom Verteiler weg jeweils von jedem Ausgang eine Leitung zu den einzelnen Düse führt. Dabei wird sowohl bei den Leitungen für Luft als auch bei denen für Wasser die Leitungsführung so gewählt, daß das Restwasser weitestgehend ablaufen kann.When installing state-of-the-art whirlpool systems, it is necessary for the air system and the water system to provide separate elements and the elements among each other to connect with a pipe for water or for air. So contains the system for air is usually a distributor that goes through on the inlet side a supply air regulator is supplied with air while the lines on the outlet side are connected to supply the nozzles with air. It is customary to hose the nozzles individually, d. H. from each exit of the To distribute a line to the nozzles. In exceptional cases also two nozzles connected in series and with one outlet of the distributor connected. There are usually two in the water system Distributor provided on either side of the tub under each Tub edge are attached. A line leads to each of the distributors from the circulation pump, while away from the distributor from each Output a line leads to the individual nozzle. Both the lines for air as well as those for water the line routing chosen so that the residual water can run off as far as possible.
Die zur Verteilung des Wassers und der Luft eingesetzten Leitungssysteme und die hierdurch bedingte Einzelverschlauchung der Ausgänge von Verteilern mit den jeweiligen Düsen sind bei den bekannten Whirlpoolen sehr aufwendig. Die Montage bei Whirlpools nach dem Stand der Technik gestaltet sich in nachteiliger Weise daher dementsprechend lohnintensiv. The piping systems used to distribute the water and air and the resulting individual tubing for the outputs of distributors with the respective nozzles are very well in the known whirlpools consuming. The assembly of whirlpools designed according to the state of the art accordingly disadvantageously wage-intensive.
Demgegenüber hat sich die Erfindung die Aufgabe gestellt, einen Whirlpool zu schaffen, dessen Elemente eine einfache, schnelle und dadurch kostengünstige Montage ermöglichen. Das System weist zudem eine erhöhte Funktionssicherheit und eine gleichmäßige Düsenleistung auf.In contrast, the object of the invention is a whirlpool to create, the elements of which are simple, fast and therefore inexpensive Allow assembly. The system also exhibits an increased Functional reliability and an even nozzle performance.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß
- die Verteiler jeweils mit einer Doppelkammer ausgestattet sind,
- wobei jede Kammer einen Zugang und mehrere Abgänge aufweist,
- und eine Kammer zur Verteilung von Wasser
- und die andere zur Verteilung von Luft nutzbar ist.
- the distributors are each equipped with a double chamber,
- each chamber having one entry and several exits,
- and a water distribution chamber
- and the other can be used to distribute air.
Einem Kerngedanken der Erfindung entsprechend sind bei dem vorgeschlagenen Whirlpool wesentliche Elemente des Wasser führenden und des Luft führenden Systems jeweils in einem Element zusammengelegt worden. So sind die Verteiler für Luft bzw. die Verteiler für Wasser jeweils mit einer Doppelkammer ausgestattet, wobei jede Kammer einen Zugang und mehrere Abgänge aufweist, und eine Kammer zur Verteilung von Wasser und die andere zur Verteilung von Luft nutzbar ist. Die Doppelkammerverteiler werden in der Regel an beiden Seiten der Wanne unter der Wannenoberfläche montiert. Von den einzelnen Abgängen für Wasser bzw. Luft führen dann Leitungen zu den entsprechenden Anschlüssen an den Düsen. Dabei sind die Längen der von einem Doppelkammerverteiler jeweils zu einer Düse führenden Wasser- und Luftleitungen einander gleich. Ebenso fallen die Längen der von den Abgängen des Verteilers zu den verschiedenen Düsen führenden Leitungen untereinander etwa gleich aus.A core idea of the invention is in the proposed Whirlpool leading and essential elements of water of the air-guiding system are combined in one element Service. So are the distributors for air and the distributors for water, respectively equipped with a double chamber, each chamber having an access and has several outlets, and a chamber for distributing water and the other can be used to distribute air. The double chamber manifold are usually on both sides of the tub under the tub surface assembled. Of the individual outlets for water or air then lead lines to the corresponding connections on the nozzles. The lengths of a double chamber manifold are each too water and air pipes leading a nozzle in the same way. As well the lengths of the drop from the manifold to the various fall Lines leading nozzles from each other approximately the same.
Die Ansaugung, die Zirkulation und die Abstrahlung des Wassers in das Badewasser, ebenso die Ansaugung und die Beimengung der Luft zum Wasser sind für vorliegende Erfindung unerheblich und können durch an sich bekannte Vorrichtungen in an sich bekannter Weise durchgeführt werden. The suction, the circulation and the radiation of the water in the Bathing water, as well as the intake and addition of air to the Water is irrelevant to the present invention and can by known devices are carried out in a manner known per se.
Die vorgeschlagene Ausgestaltung der Verteiler führt zu einem erheblich geringeren Installationsaufwand und dementsprechend reduzierten Kosten bei der Verlegung der Elemente des Wasser und Luft führenden Systems. Darüber hinaus wird durch eine Verminderung der Anzahl der Elemente sowohl die Funktionssicherheit erhöht, als auch ein Platz sparender Aufbau erzielt. Als Folge der untereinander etwa gleich langen Leitungen des Wasser und des Luft führenden Systems vom Verteiler zu den verschiedenen Düsen ist die an den einzelnen Düsen abgegebene Wasser- und Luftleistung relativ zueinander etwa gleich groß.The proposed design of the distributor leads to a significant less installation effort and accordingly reduced costs when laying the elements of the water and air system. In addition, by reducing the number of items both the functional reliability increases, as well as a space-saving construction achieved. As a result of the water pipes being approximately the same length as each other and the air-guiding system from the distributor to the various Nozzles is the water and air output delivered to the individual nozzles relative to each other about the same size.
Im Ergebnis gewährleistet der Whirlpool gemäß vorliegender Erfindung eine einfache, schnelle und dadurch kostengünstige Montage. Zudem weist das System eine erhöhte Funktionssicherheit und eine gleichmäßige Düsenleistung auf.As a result, the hot tub according to the present invention ensures simple, quick and therefore inexpensive installation. Also points the system increased functional reliability and a uniform nozzle performance on.
Der Aufwand bei der Installation eines Whirlpools läßt sich durch eine konstruktiv neue Lösung der Leitungen noch weiter reduzieren. Gemäß einem Merkmal der Erfindung ist daher vorgesehen, daß die Leitungen als Doppelleitungen ausgebildet sind und in einer Leitung der Doppelleitung das Wasser und in der anderen die Luft geführt wird. Dabei können sowohl die Leitungen zu den Verteilern hin als auch die von den Anschlüssen der Verteiler weg zu den Whirpooldüsen führenden Leitungen als Doppelleitung ausgebildet sein. Um dem unterschiedlichen Durchsatz vor und hinter einem Verteiler gerecht zu werden, sieht die vorliegenden Erfindung Doppelleitungen mit unterschiedlichen Durchmessern vor.The effort involved in installing a whirlpool can be constructively reduce the new cable solution even further. According to one Feature of the invention is therefore provided that the lines as double lines are trained and in a line of the double line Water and in the other the air is led. Both Lines to the distributors as well as from the connections of the distributors leads to the Whirpooldüsen lines as a double line be trained. To the different throughput before and after you To meet distributors, the present invention sees double lines with different diameters.
Durch die genannten konstruktiven Maßnahmen gemäß vorliegender Erfindung wird die Zahl der beim Aufstellen eines Whirlpool zu verlegenden Leitungen nahezu auf die Hälfte verringert, dementsprechend groß fällt auch die Reduktion das Arbeitsaufwandes beim Verschlauchen der einzelnen Elemente eines Whirlpools aus.Through the above-mentioned design measures according to the present invention becomes the number of lines to be laid when installing a whirlpool reduced to almost half, so it falls accordingly the reduction of the workload when hosing the individual Elements of a whirlpool.
Aus Sicht des Installationsaufwandes ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Durchmesser der Leitung für Wasser und der der Leitung für Luft einander gleich sind. In diesem Fall läßt sich die Verschlauchung der einzelnen Elemente eines Whirlpools zügig vornehmen, ohne auf Besonderheiten achten zu müssen. Die Erfindung sieht daher derartige Doppelleitungen vor. Will man jedoch einer Optimierung der technischen Leistungen den Vorzug geben, sind die Durchmesser der Wasser- und der Luftleitung dem jeweiligen Durchsatz entsprechend vorzugeben. Die Erfindung deckt auch diesen Anwendungsfall ab und sieht dementsprechend Doppelleitungen vor, bei denen die Durchmesser der Wasser- und der Luftleitung verschieden groß ausgebildet sind.From the point of view of the installation effort, it is advantageous if the diameter the pipe for water and the pipe for air are the same are. In this case, the tubing of the individual elements can be of a whirlpool quickly, without paying attention to special features have to. The invention therefore provides such double lines. You want to but prefer to optimize technical performance, are the diameters of the water and air pipes to the respective Specify throughput accordingly. The invention also covers this Use case and accordingly provides for double lines which the diameters of the water and air pipes of different sizes are trained.
Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind darauf ausgerichtet, den Aufwand bei der Installation eines Whirlpools noch weiter zu vermindern. Um die Doppelleitung ohne zusätzliche Handgriffe am einzelnen Element des Whirlpools anbringen zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Elemente des Whirlpools jeweils Anschlüsse aufweisen, die als Gegenaufnahme zur Doppelleitung ausgebildet sind. In diesem Fall läßt sich die Doppelleitung ohne weitere Eingriffe auf das betreffende Element aufschieben. Bei einer Variante dieser Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß die Enden der Doppelleitung mit einer Aufnahme ausgestattet sind und die Elemente des Whirlpools Anschlüsse aufweisen, die als Gegenaufnahme zur genannten Aufnahme ausgebildet sind.Developments of the invention are aimed at reducing the effort the installation of a whirlpool. To the double line without additional handles on the individual element of the whirlpool To be able to attach, it is advantageous if the elements of the Whirlpools each have connections that serve as counter receptacles for Double line are formed. In this case, the double line slide onto the element in question without further intervention. At a Variant of this embodiment provides that the ends of the double line are equipped with a recording and the elements of the Whirlpools have connections that serve as counter-counter to the above Are trained.
Aufnahme und Gegenaufnahme können beispielsweise durch eine Verschraubung oder durch einen Clip mit einander verbunden werden. Diese Ausführung läßt sich auch dahin gehend optimieren, daß die Verbindung zwischen Doppelleitung und Anschluß am Element des Whirlpools durch einen Schnellverschluß hergestellt wird. Gemäß einem Merkmal der Erfindung ist daher vorgesehen, daß die Aufnahmen und die Gegenaufnahmen jeweils als Steckverbindung ausgeführt sind.Admission and counter admission can, for example, by a screw connection or connected to each other by a clip. This Execution can also be optimized so that the connection between the double line and the connection to the element of the whirlpool a quick fastener is made. According to a feature of the invention it is therefore provided that the shots and the counter shots are each designed as a plug connection.
Bei der letzt genannten Ausführungsform ergeben sich nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung weitere Vereinfachungen bei der Montage eines Whirlpools, wenn die einzelnen Doppelleitungen in den erforderlichen Längen und einschließlich der endseitigen Aufnahmen vorgefertigt sind. Die einzelnen Elemente eines Whirlpools können dann ohne Konfektionierungsmaßnahmen zum kompletten Whirlpool zusammengebaut werden. In the latter embodiment, there is another Feature of the invention further simplifications in the assembly of a Whirlpools if the individual double pipes in the required lengths and including the end photographs are prefabricated. The Individual elements of a whirlpool can then be used without any assembly measures can be assembled into a complete whirlpool.
Der Whirlpool in seiner Gesamtheit kann somit als Baukasten dem Verbraucher oder Installateur zu Verfügung gestellt werden.The whirlpool in its entirety can thus serve as a modular system for the consumer or installed by an installer.
Um den Erholungs- und Entspannungswert eines Whirlpools zu gewährleisten, ist es notwendig, daß beim Betrieb seiner Elemente, insbesondere der Umwälzpumpe und des Gebläses, keine störenden Einflüsse verursacht werden. Ein besonderes Augenmerk ist daher darauf gerichtet, Schall- und Schwingungsbrücken zwischen dem Luft- und Wasserkreislauf und den einzelnen Elementen dieser Kreisläufe zu vermeiden. Dementsprechend ist bei vorliegender Erfindung vorgesehen, die Kammern der als Doppelkammersystem ausgebildeten Verteiler und/oder die Leitungen der Doppelleitungen jeweils schall- und/oder schwingungsgedämpft auszubilden.To ensure the relaxation and relaxation value of a whirlpool, it is necessary that when operating its elements, especially the Circulation pump and the blower, no disturbing influences caused become. Particular attention is therefore paid to sound and Vibration bridges between the air and water cycle and the to avoid individual elements of these cycles.
