Description

L'invention se rattache au secteur technique des ensembles de filtration pour bassin de piscine.The invention relates to the technical sector of pool filtration systems.

Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne un dispositif de raccordement de tuyauteries entre deux compartiments d'un groupe de filtration de l'eau d'un bassin de piscine. Ces blocs comprennent, d'une manière connue, un compartiment dit « de filtration » et un compartiment dit « de pompage ». Le compartiment de filtration est destiné à être immergé dans l'eau de bassin de piscine. Ce compartiment reçoit un ou des moyens de filtration de tout type connu et approprié. Le compartiment de pompage est situé à l'extérieur du bassin de la piscine, généralement d'une manière enterrée, et présente une ou des pompes aptes à assurer l'aspiration de l'eau et son refoulement, comme indiqué dans la suite de la description. Les compartiments de pompage et de filtration sont reliés par une partie commune, généralement disposée en chevauchement, des parois du bassin de la piscine, quelle que soit sa forme de réalisation. A ce niveau, l'ensemble du bloc de filtration à la forme, très sensiblement, d'un cavalier en U renversé. Des exemples de ce type de bloc de filtration ressortent de l'enseignement des brevets FR 97.01642 , FR 98.03790 , FR 99.12856 .More particularly, the invention relates to a device for connecting pipes between two compartments of a group of water filtration of a swimming pool. These blocks comprise, in a known manner, a compartment called "filtration" and a compartment called "pumping". The filtration compartment is intended to be immersed in the pool pond water. This compartment receives one or more filtration means of any known and appropriate type. The pumping compartment is located outside the pool basin, usually in a buried way, and has one or more pumps capable of ensuring the suction of water and its discharge, as indicated in the following section. description. The pumping and filtration compartments are connected by a common part, generally arranged overlapping, the walls of the pool of the pool, regardless of its embodiment. At this level, the entire filter block has the shape, very substantially, of an inverted U-shaped jumper. Examples of this type of filter block come from the teaching of patents FR 97.01642 , FR 98.03790 , FR 99.12856 .

Pour l'essentiel, le moyen de filtration, quelle que soit sa forme de réalisation, est relié, par des éléments de tuyauterie, à la ou aux pompes installée(s) dans le compartiment de pompage. Plus particulièrement, ces éléments de tuyauterie sont reliés à la prise d'aspiration de la pompe. D'autres éléments de tuyauterie sont reliés à la prise de refoulement de la pompe pour refouler l'eau filtrée dans le bassin de la piscine au moyen par exemple de buses situées sur une partie du compartiment de filtration.Essentially, the filtration means, regardless of its embodiment, is connected, by pipe elements, to the pump (s) installed in the pumping compartment. More particularly, these piping elements are connected to the suction port of the pump. Other piping elements are connected to the discharge port of the pump for discharging the filtered water in the pool of the pool by means for example of nozzles located on a portion of the filtration compartment.

Bien évidemment, les ensembles de tuyauteries d'aspiration et de refoulement sont exécutés à partir de plusieurs éléments raccordés par des coudes ou autres, pour assurer la liaison entre le compartiment de filtration et le compartiment d'aspiration. Pour des raisons de facilité de montage et de diminution des coûts, ces éléments de tuyauterie sont de section ronde et sont avantageusement en PVC, conformément aux éléments standards du type existant couramment dans le commerce. Notamment, l'utilisation de ce type d'éléments de tuyauteries de section ronde, permet de diminuer les coûts et permet de réaliser différents types de raccordement.Of course, the suction and discharge pipe assemblies are made from several elements connected by elbows or the like, to ensure the connection between the filtration compartment and the suction compartment. For reasons of ease of assembly and cost reduction, these pipe elements are of round section and are advantageously PVC, in accordance with standard elements of the type commonly existing commercially. In particular, the use of this type of round section pipe elements, reduces costs and allows for different types of connection.

Compte tenu de la nécessité de réaliser un circuit de circulation de l'eau entre le compartiment de filtration et le compartiment de pompage, les tuyauteries d'aspiration et de refoulement sont également présentes au niveau de la partie commune de raccordement entre les deux compartiments. Généralement, à ce niveau, les tuyauteries d'aspiration et de refoulement sont disposées côte à côte, dans un plan horizontal.Given the need to provide a water circulation circuit between the filtration compartment and the pumping compartment, the suction and discharge pipes are also present at the common connection portion between the two compartments. Generally, at this level, the suction and discharge pipes are arranged side by side in a horizontal plane.

Il en résulte que ces tuyauteries, de section ronde, représentent une certaine hauteur, de sorte que la partie commune de raccordement apparaît en surélévation du rebord du bassin de la piscine. Il en est bien évidemment de même des compartiments de filtration et de pompage.As a result, these pipes, of round section, represent a certain height, so that the common part of connection appears in elevation of the edge of the basin of the pool. It is obviously the same filter compartments and pumping.

Autrement dit, l'ensemble du bloc de filtration, selon l'état antérieur de la technique, doit déborder d'une hauteur suffisante pour permettre le passage des tuyauteries d'aspiration et de refoulement. Cette hauteur de surélévation n'est pas toujours très esthétique et peut nuire à l'intégration de l'ensemble du bloc de filtration, au niveau des margelles et des plages entourant l'ensemble du bassin.In other words, the entire filter block, according to the prior art, must overflow a sufficient height to allow the passage of the suction and discharge pipes. This height of elevation is not always very aesthetic and can harm the integration of the whole of the filtration unit, at the level of the borders and the beaches surrounding the whole basin.

L'invention s'est fixée pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients, de manière simple, sûre, efficace et rationnelle.The object of the invention is to remedy these disadvantages in a simple, safe, effective and rational manner.

Le problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention est de diminuer au maximum la hauteur de la partie de raccordement entre les compartiments de filtration et de pompage, de sorte que l'ensemble du groupe ou bloc de filtration, n'apparaisse pratiquement pas en débordement des plages par exemple, tout en ayant pour objectif de ne pas augmenter les coûts de production, c'est-à-dire en gardant toujours la possibilité d'utiliser, pour l'essentiel, de la réalisation des circuits d'aspiration et de refoulement des éléments de tuyauteries de section ronde du type de ceux couramment utilisés dans le commerce.The problem to be solved by the invention is to reduce as far as possible the height of the connection part between the filtration and pumping compartments, so that the whole of the filter group or block hardly appears in overflowing beaches for example, while aiming not to increase production costs, that is to say always keeping the possibility of using, for the most part, the realization of the suction circuits and delivery of round section pipe elements of the type commonly used in the trade.

Ce problème est particulièrement posé pour un dispositif de raccordement de tuyauteries entre deux compartiments d'un groupe de filtration de l'eau d'un bassin de piscine, tel que défini dans le document FR 2 799 485 . Ce groupe comporte un compartiment immergé dans l'eau et équipé d'au moins un moyen de filtration et un compartiment situé à l'extérieur du bassin et équipé d'au moins une pompe d'aspiration et de refoulement. Lesdits compartiments sont reliés par une partie commune disposée en chevauchement des parois du bassin. Le ou les moyens de filtration et la ou les pompes sont reliés en combinaison avec les éléments de tuyauteries d'aspiration et de refoulement, qui présentent une partie située du côté du compartiment de filtration et une partie située du côté du compartiment de pompage. Ledit dispositif de raccordement comprend deux canalisations séparées disposées, à l'état monté, entre les deux compartiments au niveau de la partie commune de liaison et entre les parties de canalisation d'aspiration et de refoulement, et comprend quatre embouts et quatre manchons de section ronde. Chaque canalisation présente à chacune de ses extrémités un manchon de raccordement étanche avec un desdits embouts, lesdits embouts étant directement solidaires desdits manchons de section ronde qui sont aptes à être raccordés par emmanchement étanche, avec les tuyauteries d'aspiration et de refoulement, positionnées dans les compartiments de filtration et de pompage.This problem is particularly problematic for a connection device for piping between two compartments of a pool water filtration group, as defined in the document FR 2,799,485 . This group comprises a compartment immersed in water and equipped with at least one filtration means and a compartment located outside the basin and equipped with at least one suction pump and discharge. Said compartments are connected by a common part arranged overlapping the walls of the basin. The one or more filtration means and the pump or pumps are connected in combination with the suction and discharge pipe elements, which have a portion on the side of the filtration compartment and a portion on the filter side. pumping compartment. Said connecting device comprises two separate pipes arranged, in the mounted state, between the two compartments at the common connecting part and between the suction and discharge pipe sections, and comprises four end pieces and four section sleeves. round. Each pipe has at each of its ends a sealing connection sleeve with one of said end pieces, said end pieces being directly integral with said round section sleeves which are able to be connected by tight fitting, with the suction and delivery pipes, positioned in filtration and pumping compartments.

Pour résoudre le problème posé de diminuer la hauteur de la partie commune de liaison entre les compartiments de filtration et de pompage, il a été conçu un dispositif de raccordement des tuyauteries conforme aux caractéristiques de la revendication 1.In order to solve the problem of reducing the height of the common connecting part between the filtration and pumping compartments, a connection device for the pipes according to the features of claim 1 has been designed.

Pour résoudre le problème posé de faciliter le montage et le raccordement de l'ensemble des tuyauteries d'aspiration et de refoulement, tout en ayant pour objectif de ne pas augmenter les coûts, le module constitue un élément indépendant rapporté et fixé, d'une manière étanche, sur la partie commune de raccordement, entre les deux compartiments.To solve the problem posed to facilitate the assembly and connection of all suction and discharge pipes, with the aim of not increasing costs, the module is an independent element reported and fixed, a in a sealed manner, on the common connection part, between the two compartments.

Avantageusement, le module présente un profil en section apte à coopérer avec un profil complémentaire faisant office de berceau d'appui formé dans l'épaisseur de la partie commune de raccordement.Advantageously, the module has a cross-sectional profile capable of cooperating with a complementary profile acting as a support cradle formed in the thickness of the common connection part.

Sous une forme particulière de réalisation particulière de l'ensemble du bloc de filtration, le module et les deux compartiments sont réunis par un cadre commun de liaison recevant des couvercles d'obturation de chacun desdits compartiments.In a particular particular embodiment of the entire filtration unit, the module and the two compartments are joined by a common connecting frame receiving closure covers of each of said compartments.

On rappelle, d'une manière parfaitement connue pour un homme du métier, que ce type de bloc ou groupe de filtration comprend, pour l'essentiel, un compartiment (A) immergé dans l'eau, connu sous le nom de « compartiment de filtration » et un compartiment (B), situé à l'extérieur du bassin de la piscine, généralement connu sous le nom de « compartiment de pompage ». Les deux compartiments (A) et (B) sont réunis par une partie commune de raccordement (C) pour constituer un ensemble unitaire. Le compartiment de pompage (B) est généralement destiné à être enterré dans le sol.Recall, in a manner perfectly known to a person skilled in the art, that this type of block or filtration group essentially comprises a compartment (A) immersed in water, known as the "compartment of filtration "and a compartment (B), located outside the pool basin, commonly known as the" pumping compartment ". The two compartments (A) and (B) are united by a part common connection (C) to form a unitary assembly. The pumping compartment (B) is generally intended to be buried in the ground.

Le compartiment de filtration (A) comprend, d'une manière parfaitement connue, un ou des moyens de filtration (F) susceptible(s) de présenter différentes formes de réalisation. Le compartiment de pompage (B) reçoit une ou des pompes (P) apte(s) à permettre l'aspiration de l'eau en provenance du bassin de la piscine, après l'avoir soumise à l'action du ou des filtres (F), et à refouler l'eau ainsi filtrée dans le bassin de la piscine, au moyen, par exemple, d'une buse de refoulement (R).The filtration compartment (A) comprises, in a perfectly known manner, one or more filtration means (F) capable of presenting different embodiments. The pumping compartment (B) receives one or more pumps (P) adapted to allow the suction of water from the pool of the pool, after having subjected it to the action of the filter or filters ( F), and to discharge the water thus filtered in the pool of the pool, by means, for example, of a discharge nozzle (R).

Le circuit d'aspiration et de refoulement de l'eau du bassin de la piscine, en combinaison avec les moyens de filtration (F) et de pompage (P), s'effectue au moyen essentiellement d'une tuyauterie d'aspiration (1), reliée à la prise d'aspiration de la pompe (P) et d'une tuyauterie de refoulement (2) reliée à la prise de refoulement de ladite pompe (P). Les tuyauteries (1) et (2) sont, dans leur ensemble, réalisées à partir d'éléments de section ronde, du type de ceux couramment vendus dans le commerce et dont le diamètre est déterminé en fonction du débit.The suction and discharge circuit of the pool water, in combination with the filtering means (F) and the pumping means (P), is effected essentially by means of a suction pipe (1). ), connected to the suction port of the pump (P) and a discharge pipe (2) connected to the discharge port of said pump (P). The pipes (1) and (2) are, as a whole, made from round section elements, of the type commonly sold commercially and whose diameter is determined as a function of flow.

Selon l'invention, le problème que se propose de résoudre l'invention, comme indiqué, est de diminuer, au maximum, la hauteur de la partie commune de raccordement (C) entre les compartiments (A) et (B), en soulignant que, généralement, cette partie commune de raccordement (C) présente directement ou d'une manière rapportée, des agencements (3) aptes à séparer, d'une manière étanche, les deux compartiments (A) et (B), notamment pour éviter tout risque de débordement de l'eau, remplissant le compartiment de filtration, dans le compartiment de pompage. De tels agencements sont parfaitement connus pour un homme du métier, comme il ressors par exemple de l'enseignement des brevets précités.According to the invention, the problem to be solved by the invention, as indicated, is to reduce, as much as possible, the height of the common connection part (C) between the compartments (A) and (B), underlining that, generally, this common connection part (C) has directly or in a reported manner, arrangements (3) able to separate, in a sealed manner, the two compartments (A) and (B), in particular to avoid any risk of overflowing water, filling the filtration compartment, in the pumping compartment. Such arrangements are well known to those skilled in the art, as they emerge for example from the teaching of the aforementioned patents.

Compte tenu de cette configuration, il apparaît donc que les tuyauteries d'aspiration (1) et de refoulement (2) sont réalisées sous forme de deux parties ou ensembles (1a, 1b) et (2a, 2b). La partie (1a) de la tuyauterie d'aspiration, est située du côté du compartiment de filtration, tandis que la partie (1b) est située du côté du compartiment de pompage. De la même façon, la partie (2a) de la tuyauterie de refoulement est située du côté du compartiment de filtration, tandis que la partie (2b) est située du côté du compartiment de pompage.Given this configuration, it therefore appears that the suction pipe (1) and discharge (2) are formed as two parts or sets (1a, 1b) and (2a, 2b). The portion (1a) of the suction pipe, is located on the side of the filtration compartment, while the portion (1b) is located on the side of the pumping compartment. Similarly, the portion (2a) of the discharge pipe is located on the side of the filtration compartment, while the portion (2b) is located on the side of the pumping compartment.

Il convient donc d'assurer l'accouplement des deux parties (1a) et (1b), d'une part, et (2a) et (2b), d'autre part, au niveau des agencements (3), et cela dans un minimum de hauteur, comme indiqué.It is therefore necessary to ensure the coupling of the two parts (1a) and (1b), on the one hand, and (2a) and (2b), on the other hand, at the level of the arrangements (3), and that in a minimum of height, as indicated.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif de raccordement des parties des canalisations d'aspiration (1a, 1b) et de refoulement (2a, 2b) présente des agencements d'accouplement d'épaisseur inférieure au diamètre des différents éléments des tuyauteries (1) et (2).According to the invention, the device for connecting the parts of the suction (1a, 1b) and discharge (2a, 2b) ducts has coupling arrangements of a thickness less than the diameter of the various elements of the pipes (1) and (2).

Le dispositif de raccordement de l'invention, désigné dans son ensemble par (4), comprend un module de section transversale méplate, de faible épaisseur (e) inférieure au diamètre (d) des éléments constitutifs des tuyauteries (1) et (2). Ce module est creux et délimite, en section, au moins une, mais de préférence deux canalisations internes et séparées (4a) et (4b). Les canalisations (4a) et (4b) présentent de part et d'autre du corps du module (4) des agencements (4c) et (4d) de raccordement étanche avec des embouts de section méplate (5). Les embouts (5) sont rendus solidaires, d'une manière étanche, par tout moyen connu et approprié, des parties (1a) et (1b) de la tuyauterie d'aspiration et des parties (2a) et (2b) de la tuyauterie de refoulement.The connecting device of the invention, designated as a whole by (4), comprises a flat cross section module, thin (e) smaller than the diameter (d) of the constituent elements of the pipes (1) and (2). . This module is hollow and defines, in section, at least one, but preferably two internal and separate pipes (4a) and (4b). The pipes (4a) and (4b) have on both sides of the module body (4) arrangements (4c) and (4d) of sealed connection with end caps of flat section (5). The end pieces (5) are made integral, in a sealed manner, by any known and appropriate means, parts (1a) and (1b) of the suction pipe and parts (2a) and (2b) of the piping of repression.

Les agencements (4c) et (4d) du module (4) sont constitués par des manchons de section méplate, notamment rectangulaire, en communication avec tes canalisations (4a) et (4b), et aptes à permettre l'emmanchement des embouts (5) des section complémentaire.The arrangements (4c) and (4d) of the module (4) consist of sleeves of flat section, in particular rectangular, in communication with the pipes (4a) and (4b), and able to allow the fitting of the end pieces (5). ) complementary sections.

Avantageusement et selon l'invention, les embouts de section méplate (5), sont rendus solidaires directement ou d'une manière rapportée, de manchons de section ronde (5a) aptes à être raccordés, par emmanchement étanche, avec les parties correspondantes des tuyauteries (1a, 1b) et (2a, 2b) (figure 1).Advantageously and according to the invention, the ends of flat section (5), are made integral directly or in a reported manner, of round section sleeves (5a) adapted to be connected, by tight fitting, with the corresponding parts of the pipes (1a, 1b) and (2a, 2b) ( figure 1 ).

Le module (4) constitue un élément indépendant rapporté et fixé, d'une manière étanche, au niveau de la partie commune de raccordement (C) entre les deux compartiments (A) et (B). Plus particulièrement, le module (4) présente un profil en section apte à coopérer avec un profil complémentaire (3a) faisant office de berceau d'appui formé dans l'épaisseur d'une cloison de séparation étanche (3). Par exemple, cette fixation s'effectue au moyen de vis (6) en combinaison avec un joint d'étanchéité (7) monté dans le fond du berceau d'appui (3a).The module (4) constitutes an independent element reported and fixed, in a sealed manner, at the common connection portion (C) between the two compartments (A) and (B). More particularly, the module (4) has a sectional profile capable of cooperating with a complementary profile (3a) acting as a support cradle formed in the thickness of a sealed partition (3). For example, this fixing is effected by means of screws (6) in combination with a seal (7) mounted in the bottom of the support cradle (3a).

A noter que, dans une forme particulière de réalisation du groupe de filtration, le module (4) et les deux compartiments (A) et (B) sont réunis par un cadre commun de liaison, non représenté, recevant des couvercles d'obturation de chacun desdits compartiments.It should be noted that, in a particular embodiment of the filtration unit, the module (4) and the two compartments (A) and (B) are connected by a common connecting frame, not shown, receiving shutter covers of each of said compartments.

Compte tenu de la faible hauteur du module de raccordement (4) et des embouts correspondants (5), il est possible de limiter au maximum la hauteur de la partie commune de liaison (C), de sorte que l'ensemble du groupe de filtration, après l'avoir installé en chevauchement et en appui sur le rebord correspondant du bassin de piscine, déborde d'une hauteur réduite et, à tout le moins, inférieure à celle généralement admise dans le cadre d'une utilisation de tuyauterie de section ronde au niveau de la partie commune de liaison.Given the low height of the connection module (4) and the corresponding end pieces (5), it is possible to limit as much as possible the height of the common connection part (C), so that the entire filtration unit , having installed it overlapping and resting on the corresponding rim of the pool, overflows by a reduced height and, at the very least, less than that generally allowed in connection with the use of round-section piping at the level of the common part of liaison.

Bien évidemment, les manchons de raccordement (4c) et les embouts correspondants (5) sont convenablement dimensionnés en fonction du débit souhaité. A titre indicatif, si l'on utilise des éléments de tuyauterie d'un diamètre de 75 mm, les manchons de raccordement (4c) et (4d) et les embouts (5) peuvent avoir une épaisseur de sensiblement 25 mm en observant que cette épaisseur peut encore être diminuée sous réserve d'augmenter la largeur pour obtenir une section équivalente compte tenu du débit.Of course, the connecting sleeves (4c) and the corresponding end pieces (5) are suitably dimensioned according to the desired flow rate. As an indication, if piping elements with a diameter of 75 mm are used, the connecting sleeves (4c) and (4d) and the end pieces (5) can have a thickness of substantially 25 mm, observing that this thickness can be further reduced subject to increasing the width to obtain an equivalent section considering the flow.

Les avantages ressortent bien de la description.The advantages are apparent from the description.
