Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Skimmer (Oberflächenabsauger), über den das aus einem Schwimmbecken ablaufende oder abgesaugte Wasser abgeführt wird, wobei in einem Gehäuse ein Schwimmwehr schwenkbar angelenkt ist.The invention relates to a skimmer (surface skimmer), about the running off of a swimming pool or aspirated Water is discharged, being in a housing Floating hinged pivotally.
Skimmer haben die Aufgabe, verschmutztes, oberflächennahes Wasser einem Filter zuzuführen. Zu den Verschmutzungen können auch Feststoffpartikel, wie Laub, Staub oder ähnliche aufschwimmende Teile gehören. Das über das Skimmerwehr in das Skimmergehäuse eintretende Wasser wird zu diesem Zweck über einen Abfluß, in dem ggf. ein Haar- und Faserfangkorb angeordnet ist, einem Filter zur Wasserreinigung zugeführt. Hierbei werden häufig Pumpen als Absaugeinrichtungen verwendet. Etwaige im Schwimmbecken vorgesehene Überläufe sowie Bodenabläufe bzw. deren Anschlüsse sind zumeist über eine gemeinsame Leitung verbunden, so dass die gesamte Schwimmbeckensteuerung zur Absaugung der Wasseroberfläche bzw. des Boden über einen Flüssigkeitsstromregler gesteuert werden kann, so dass nur eine zum Flüssigkeitsfilter führende Leitung erforderlich ist.Skimmers have the job of polluting, near-surface To supply water to a filter. To the pollutions can also solid particles, such as leaves, dust or similar floating Parts belong. The over the Skimmerwehr in the Skimmer housing entering water is over for this purpose a drain, possibly arranged in the hair and a fiber basket is fed to a filter for water purification. in this connection Pumps are often used as suction. Any overflows provided in the swimming pool as well as floor drains or their connections are mostly via a common Line connected so that the entire pool control for extracting the water surface or the soil via a Liquid flow regulator can be controlled, so only a line leading to the liquid filter is required.
, Skimmer sind in der Schwimmbeckenwand etwa in Höhe der Wasseroberfläche in dort vorgesehenen Nischen eingebaut bzw. im Falle der Nachrüstung in Betonschwimmbecken oder beim Austausch eines nicht baugleichen Skimmers auf den Beckenrand aufgesetzt. Ein einbetonierter oder aufgesetzter Skimmer wird von der Beckeninnenwandseite her ggf. durch eine rahmenförmige Blende abgeschlossen, um Plattierungsränder abzudecken. Nach dem Stand der Technik bekannte Schwimmbecken bestehen aus Stahl, Aluminium oder einem Kunststoff, insbesondere Polyester., Skimmers are in the pool wall about the level of the water surface installed in niches provided there or in Case of retrofitting in concrete swimming pools or during replacement a not identical Skimmers on the edge of the pool placed. A cast-in or attached skimmer will from the pool inner wall side if necessary by a frame-shaped Aperture completed to cover plating margins. To known in the art swimming pools consist of Steel, aluminum or a plastic, in particular polyester.
Die bisher bekannten Schwimmwehre, wie z.B. das Schwimmwehr des im Dokument US 4 348 281 beschriebenen Skimmers, haben eine obere gerade Kante, so dass das ablaufende bzw. abgepumpte Wasser stets mit der gleichen Geschwindigkeit über diese Kante geführt wird.The previously known lifejackets, such as e.g. the swim of the skimmer described in the document US 4 348 281 have an upper straight Edge, so that the running or pumped out water always with the same speed is passed over this edge.
Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Skimmer zu schaffen, mittels dessen verbesserte Wasserströmungsverhältnisse geschaffen werden, insbesondere soll die Sogwirkung auf Feststoffteile (Staub, Blätter etc.), die auf dem Wasser schwimmen, verstärkt werden.It is an object of the present invention to provide a skimmer create, by means of which improved water flow conditions be created, in particular, the suction effect on Solid particles (dust, leaves etc.) on the water swim, be strengthened.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird der Skimmer nach Anspruch 1 vorgeschlagen, der erfindungsgemäß ein Schwimmwehr besitzt, dessen obere Kante mindestens eine Einbuchtung aufweist. Vorzugsweise ist eine einzige Einbuchtung vorgesehen, die im wesentlichen mittig angeordnet ist.To solve this problem, the skimmer according to claim 1 proposed, which according to the invention has a Schwimmwehr, whose upper edge has at least one indentation. Preferably a single indentation is provided in the is arranged substantially centrally.
Überraschenderweise hat sich herausgestellt, dass eine solche Einbuchtung eine (zusätzliche) Strömung unterhalb der unmittelbaren Wasseroberfläche erzeugt, durch die ein Synergieeffekt auf die an der Wasseroberfläche herrschende Strömung ausgeübt wird. Ein Skimmer hat, bezogen auf die zu reinigende Wasseroberfläche eines Schwimmbeckens einen verhältnismäßig kleinen Einlaß. Wird Wasser von der Oberfläche über den Skimmer mittels einer Pumpe abgesaugt, neigt sich das Schwimmwehr aus der Vertikalen in eine Schrägstellung, so dass die gesamte Schwimmwehroberkante unterhalb der Wasseroberfläche liegt. Durch die Einbuchtung wird die Sogwirkung und damit die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit des ablaufenden Wassers deutlich erhöht, so dass die im Einzugsbereich der Skimmeröffnung befindlichen Schmutzpartikel, die sich auf der Wasseroberfläche des Schwimmbeckens befinden, wirkungsvoll abgesaugt werden. Verunreinigungen, wie Blätter, Insekten, Staub etc., können somit in kürzester Zeit in den Skimmer-Auffangkorb geführt werden. Nach dem Abschalten der Pumpe, mittels der das abgesaugte Wasser zu einem Filter geführt wird, schwenkt das Schwimmwehr wieder in die im wesentlichen vertikale Lage zurück, so dass die komplette obere Kante einschließlich Einbuchtung oberhalb des Wasserspiegels steht. Hiermit wird verhindert, dass der Schmutz aus dem Auffangkorb wieder zurück in das Schwimmbecken gelangen kann.Surprisingly, it has been found that such Indentation an (additional) flow below the immediate Water surface generated, through which a synergy effect on the current at the water surface is exercised. A skimmer has, based on the to be cleaned Water surface of a swimming pool a relative small inlet. Will water from the surface over the skimmer sucked by a pump, the Schwimmwehr tilts from the vertical into an inclination, so that the entire Schwimmwehroberkante lies below the water surface. By the indentation, the suction effect and thus the flow velocity the running water significantly increased, so that those located in the catchment area of Skimmeröffnung Dirt particles on the water surface of the Swimming pool are effectively sucked. impurities like leaves, insects, dust etc., can thus be guided in the shortest time in the skimmer basket. After switching off the pump, by means of the extracted water is guided to a filter, the swimming weir pivots back to the essentially vertical position, so that the complete upper edge including indentation above the water level stands. This prevents the Dirt from the collection basket back into the pool can get.
Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die vorgesehene Einbuchtung konkav und/oder mit einem konstanten Radius ausgebildet, womit sich weitgehend unerwünschte Turbulenzen an der Schwimmwehrkante vermeiden lassen. Die Einbuchtung erstreckt sich vorzugsweise über etwa 35 bis 45 %, insbesondere 40 %, der Gesamtbreite des Schwimmwehrs. Die Höhe der Einbuchtung, gemessen an derem tiefsten Punkt, beträgt 20 bis 30 mm.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the proposed Indentation concave and / or with a constant radius trained, which is largely undesirable turbulence avoid the Schwimmwehrkante. The indentation preferably extends over about 35 to 45%, in particular 40%, the total width of the Schwimmwehrs. The high of Dent, measured at the lowest point, is 20 to 30 mm.
Bei den erfindungsgemäßen Schwimmwehren wird der notwendige Auftrieb bei der Pendelbewegung des Schwimmwehres beispielsweise durch Anbringung eines geschlossenporigen Schaumstoffes gewährleistet. Ein verbesserte Auftrieb wird jedoch dadurch erzielt, dass das Schwimmwehr aus einem aufschwimmbaren Körper besteht, dessen spezifisches Gewicht deutlich leichter als Wasser ist. Vorzugsweise wird eine bessere Aufschwimmbarkeit dadurch erzielt, dass das Schwimmwehr Hohlräume besitzt, die vorzugsweise im Bereich der oberen Kante und/oder im oberen Bereich der Seitenkanten angeordnet sind. Das Schwimmwehr besteht vorzugsweise aus einem Kunststoffkörper, der mittels eines Kunststoffblasverfahrens mit entsprechenden Hohlräumen hergestellt worden ist.In the swimming weirs according to the invention is the necessary Buoyancy in the pendulum movement of the Schwimmwehres for example by attaching a closed-cell foam guaranteed. However, an improved buoyancy is characterized Achieves that the swim weir from a floatable body whose specific weight is significantly lighter than Water is. Preferably, a better floatability achieved in that the floating weir has cavities, the preferably in the region of the upper edge and / or in the upper Area of the side edges are arranged. The swimming weir preferably consists of a plastic body, by means of a plastic blowing with corresponding cavities has been produced.
Es ist allgemein bekannt, die Schwimmwehre durch Scharniere oder sonstige Gelenke an dem Skimmergehäuse zu befestigen. Abgesehen davon, dass zum Teil die Montage relativ aufwendet ist, haben die bekannten Gelenkverbindungen den Nachteil, dass sie nicht wartungsfrei sind, da durch ungünstige Toleranzen der Lagerstellen oder durch Verunreinigungen durch Kalk oder Schmutz die Drehbewegung bis zum Klemmen gehemmt werden kann, so dass eine einwandfreie Funktion nicht mehr gewährleistet ist. Um hier Abhilfe zu schaffen, wird das Schwimmwehr an seiner unteren Kante über ein Filmscharnier befestigt, d.h. ein wiederholt lösbares Rastscharnier, mit dem gewährleistet wird, dass das Schwimmwehr bei Nichtabsaugung in vertikaler Stellung verbleibt. Vorzugsweise ist das Filmscharnier derart mit einer Absaugeinrichtung (Pumpe) verbunden, dass das Schwimmwehr nach Abschalten der Absaugeinrichtung in die Vertikalposition geführt und in dieser Position verriegelt wird. In entsprechender Weise wird beim Einschalten der Absaugpumpe das Filmscharnier entriegelt. Neben dem Vorteil, dass im Bereich des Skimmers noch vorhandene Schmutzpartikel bei abgeschalteter Pumpe nicht zurück auf die Schwimmbecken-Wasseroberfläche gelangen können, hat die Ausgestaltung den weiteren Vorteil, dass die Anbringung eines Filmscharnieres kostengünstiger zu fertigen ist, da dieses Scharnier dann fester Bestandteil des vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gefertigten Schwimmwehres ist.It is well known, the lifejackets by hinges or other joints to attach to the Skimmergehäuse. Apart from the fact that some of the installation relatively expends is, the known joints have the disadvantage that They are not maintenance-free because of unfavorable tolerances the bearings or by contamination by lime or Dirt the rotation can be inhibited until it is clamped so that a perfect function is no longer guaranteed is. To remedy this situation, the swimming weir on his attached lower edge via a film hinge, i. one repeatedly releasable latching hinge, which ensures that the Schwimmwehr in Nichtabsaugung in vertical position remains. Preferably, the film hinge is so with a Suction device (pump) connected to the swim weir Switching off the suction device in the vertical position guided and locked in this position. In appropriate Way, when switching on the suction pump, the film hinge unlocked. Besides the advantage that in the area of Skimmers remaining dirt particles when switched off Do not pump back to the pool water surface the design has the further advantage that the attachment of a film hinge cheaper finished, since this hinge is then an integral part of the preferably made of plastic Schwimmwehres is.

Der in Fig. 1 bis 3 dargestellte Skimmer besteht aus einem
Gehäuse 10, mit einem Skimmerhals 11 und einem schwenkbar
angeordneten Skimmerwehr 12 sowie einem vor einem Wasserauslaß
27 eingehängten Haar- oder Faserfangkorb 13. Der Skimmerhals
11 ragt über die Schwimmbeckeninnenwandfläche 14 hinaus
und weist einen Absatz 15 mit Bohrungen 16 auf, in denen
Metallhülsen 17 mit einem Innengewinde eingelassen sind, die
zur Befestigung von Schrauben 18 dienen. Zur Schwimmbeckeninnenseite
hin wird der Skimmerhals 11 rundum durch einen
gleichzeitig als Blende dienenden Flansch 19 abgedeckt, die
selbst Bohrungen 20 aufweist, durch welche die Schrauben 18
hindurchgesteckt werden können. Entsprechend kongruent liegende
Bohrungen sind in der Schwimmbeckenwand 21 vorgesehen,
die aus Stahl, Aluminium, Polyester oder auch aus Holz mit
einer Innenauskleidung bestehen kann. Für die radiale Abdichtung
sorgen zwei Dichtungen 22, 23, welche zwischen dem
Flansch 19 und der Schwimmbeckenwand 21 einerseits und zwischen
der Schwimmbeckenwand 21 und dem Absatz 15 des Skimmerhalses
11 angeordnet sind. Durch die in den Zeichnungen dargestellte
Konstruktion wird deutlich, dass das entlang der Skimmerhalsmantelinnenfläche
24 einströmende Wasser keine Dichtung
und Ausschnitte passieren kann, die allmählich verrotten bzw.
defektanfällig wären. Das in das Skimmergehäuse über das
Schwimmwehr 12 einfließende Wasser gelangt über den Ausflußtrichter
25 und über den Haar- oder Faserfangkorb 13 zu dem
Abfluß 27. Die mittlere Öffnung des Flansches 19 ist so groß
ausgebildet, dass das vorderseitige schmalere Skimmerhalsteil
26 in der dargestellten Weise eingreifen kann. Hierdurch
ist es möglich, den Flansch 19 mittels der Schrauben 18 mit
dem entsprechenden Druck an die Dichtung 22 anzupressen bzw.
einen entsprechenden Druck auch über die Schraubbefestigung
auf die Dichtung 23 auszuüben.The skimmer shown in Fig. 1 to 3 consists of a
Erfindungsgemäß besitzt das Schwimmwehr 12 eine obere
Kante 28, die eine Einbuchtung 29 aufweist, die im wesentlichen
mittig angeordnet ist. Die Einbuchtung 29 ist konkav und
mit konstantem Radius ausgebildet und besitzt im vorliegenden
Fall eine Breite von ca. 40 % der gesamten Breite des Schwimmwehres
12 sowie eine Höhe von etwa 25 mm. Das Schwimmwehr 12
besteht aus einem aufschwimmbaren Körper mit geschlossenen
Hohlräumen, die vorzugsweise im Bereich der oberen Kante 28
bzw. im oberen Bereich der Seitenkanten liegen. Das Schwimmwehr
selbst ist über ein Filmscharnier 30 mit dem Skimmergehäuse
verbunden. Zwischen dem Filmscharnier 30 und der in dem
Abfluß 27 bzw. einer weiterführenden Leitung angeordneten
nicht dargestellten Pumpe derart verbunden, dass das Schwimmwehr
12 nach Abschalten der Pumpe in die Vertikalposition
geführt und in dieser Position verriegelt wird sowie beim Wiedereinschalten
der Pumpe entriegelt wird. Wie aus Fig. 1 und 2
ersichtlich, ist das Skimmergehäuse derart in bezug auf die
Wasseroberfläche 31 angeordnet, dass das Schwimmwehr bei der
Wasserabsaugung eine Lage einnimmt, bei der die obere
Kante 28, in jedem Falle die Einbuchtung 29 unterhalb der Wasseroberfläche
liegt. Durch Wellenbewegung, Wind oder das
Abpumpen des Wassers wird eine unruhige Wasseroberfläche
erzeugt, wobei in der in Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellten Schwimmwehrstellung
ein Teil des Wassers über die geradlinigen seitlichen
Kantenbereiche des Schwimmwehres 12 abfließt. Durch die
Einbuchtung 29 wird ein erweiterter Ablaufbereich geschaffen,
der in diesem Bereich die Wasserströmung in den Skimmer verstärkt,
womit im Einzugsbereich dieses Skimmers auf der Wasseroberfläche
befindliche Feststoffe (Blätter, tote Insekten,
Staubpartikel etc.) verstärkt in den Skimmer geführt und über
den Korb 13 aufgefangen werden. Schaltet man die Pumpe ab,
richtet sich das Schwimmwehr 12 auftriebsbedingt in eine Vertikalstellung
auf, in der es über das Filmscharnier 30 einrastet.
Diese Rastverbindung besteht so lange, bis die Pumpe
wieder eingeschaltet wird, wobei das Dearretieren der Rastverbindung
auf elektromechanischem Wege erfolgen kann.According to the invention the
