Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung für eine Solebadbehandlung mit einem Becken zur Aufnahme der Sole nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for a brine bath treatment with a basin for receiving the brine according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei einer derartigen bekannten Vorrichtung handelt es sich um eine mit Sole gefüllte Badewanne. In der Sole befindet sich der Flotende praktisch in einer Art Schwebezustand, was zu einer erheblichen körperlichen und geistigen Entspannung führt. Benutzen mehrere Flotende nacheinander dieselbe bekannte Vorrichtung, so muß das verschmutzte Solebad in aufwendiger Weise erneuert werden, was kostenintensiv und personalintensiv ist.In such a known device is a filled with brine bathtub. In the brine, the float is practically in a kind of limbo, which leads to a significant physical and mental relaxation. Use several Flotende successively the same known device, so the polluted brine bath must be renewed in a complex manner, which is costly and labor intensive.

Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art so weiterzuentwickeln, daß eine einfache und kostengünstige Erneuerung des Solebades und eine optimale Qualität der Sole erreicht wird.On this basis the invention has the object of further developing the device of the aforementioned type so that a simple and cost-effective renewal of the brine bath and optimum quality is achieved the brine.

Die technische Lösung schlägt vor, daß bei einer Vorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 das Becken mit einer Umwälzeinrichtung zum Füllen und Entleeren des Beckens und mit einer Reinigungseinrichtung für die Sole strömungsmäßig verbunden ist.The technical solution suggests that in a device according to the preamble of claim 1, the basin is fluidly connected to a circulation device for filling and emptying the basin and with a cleaning device for the brine.

Über die Umwälzeinrichtung kann das Becken nach jeder Behandlung in einfacher Weise entleert und für die nächste Behandlung wieder neu gefüllt werden. Zusätzlich erfolgt einer Reinigung der Sole, so daß für die nächste Behandlung keine neue Sole angesetzt werden muß, sondern dieselbe, allerdings gereinigte Sole, wieder für die nächste Behandlung verwendet werden kann. Dadurch können Kosten eingespart und eine optimale Qualität der Sole erreicht werden.About the circulation device, the pelvis can be emptied easily after each treatment and refilled again for the next treatment. In addition, a cleaning of the brine, so that no new brine must be used for the next treatment, but the same, but purified brine, used again for the next treatment can be. This can save costs and achieve optimum brine quality.

Damit die Sole in hervorragender Qualität gereinigt werden kann, sieht eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung vor, daß die Reinigungseinrichtung ein Filtersystem mit mindestens einem Aktivkohlefilter aufweist. Durch den Aktivkohlefilter werden biologische Verunreinigungen wie beispielsweise Keime beseitigt. Um zusätzlich auch physikalische Verunreinigungen wie Schmutz, Hautschuppen oder Haare zu beseitigen, sieht eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vor, daß das Filtersystem zusätzlich einen Beutelfilter aufweist.So that the brine can be cleaned in excellent quality, an embodiment of the invention provides that the cleaning device has a filter system with at least one activated carbon filter. The activated carbon filter eliminates biological contaminants such as germs. In order to additionally eliminate physical impurities such as dirt, dander or hair, a further embodiment of the invention provides that the filter system additionally has a bag filter.

Die im Solebad verwendete Sole muß regelmäßig desinfiziert werden. Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht deshalb vor, daß die Reinigungseinrichtung eine Ozonanlage aufweist. Durch das Ozon wird die Sole desinfiziert. Weiterhin wird durch den Aktivkohlefilter sichergestellt, daß kein Ozon in das Becken gelangen kann. Zusätzlich hat jeder Speichertank einen Aktivkohlefilter für die Abluft. Vorteilhafterweise weist die Reinigungseinrichtung eine pH-Wert-Regelung auf, wodurch der pH-Wert ständig überwacht und nachgeregelt wird.The brine used in the brine bath must be disinfected regularly. A development of the invention therefore provides that the cleaning device has an ozone system. The ozone disinfects the brine. Furthermore, it is ensured by the activated carbon filter that no ozone can get into the basin. In addition, each storage tank has an activated carbon filter for the exhaust air. Advantageously, the cleaning device to a pH control, whereby the pH is constantly monitored and readjusted.

Damit die Temperatur des Solebades immer auf einem konstanten Wert gehalten wird, welcher vorteilhalfterweise der Körpertemperatur angepaßt ist, sieht eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung vor, daß eine Heizeinrichtung zur Aufheizung oder Erhaltung der Soletemperatur vorgesehen ist.So that the temperature of the saline bath is always kept at a constant value, which is advantageously adapted to the body temperature, a development of the invention provides that a heating device is provided for heating or maintaining the brine temperature.

In den Pausen zwischen den einzelnen Behandlungen wird das Becken leergepumpt. Die Sole muß deshalb in diesen Pausen in geeigneter Weise gespeichert werden. Eine weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht deshalb vor, daß für die Sole mindestens ein Speichertank vorgesehen ist, in dem die Sole zwischengespeichert werden kann.In the intervals between treatments, the pelvis is pumped out. The brine must therefore be stored appropriately during these breaks. A further embodiment of the invention therefore provides that at least one storage tank is provided for the brine, in which the brine can be temporarily stored.

Damit der Flotende in einfacher Weise in das Becken gelangt, weist das Becken zweckmäßigerweise eine verschließbare Einstiegsöffnung auf. Nach der Behandlung und im Zustand völliger Entspannung kann es für den Flotenden schwierig sein, die Einstiegsöffnung wiederzufinden. Vorteilhafterweise ist deshalb neben der Einstiegsöffnung mindestens eine Kunststoffsäule mit einer Beleuchtung angeordnet. Diese Beleuchtung dient sowohl beim Betreten als auch beim Verlassen des Beckens als Orientierungshilfe. Nach oben hin ist das Becken mit einer Kuppel abgeschlossen. Um die Aufnahmefähigkeit des Gehirns des Flotenden zu unterstützen, ist vorteilhafterweise eine Bildprojektionseinrichtung in dem Becken angeordnet. Mit dieser Einrichtung können Bilder an die Kuppel projiziert werden. Um bestimmte mentale Zustände zu unterstützen, sieht eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung vor, daß Farblichtanlagen und Klangsysteme in dem Becken angeordnet sind.Thus, the Flotende easily enters the pool, the basin expediently has a closable manhole. After treatment and in a state of total relaxation, it may be difficult for the flotender to find the manhole. Advantageously, therefore, at least one plastic column with lighting is arranged next to the manhole. This lighting serves as a guide both when entering and leaving the pool. At the top, the pool is completed with a dome. In order to support the capacity of the Brain's brain, an image projection device is advantageously arranged in the pelvis. With this device images can be projected to the dome. In order to support certain mental states, a development of the invention provides that color light systems and sound systems are arranged in the basin.

Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung schlägt schließlich vor, daß das Becken rund oder leicht oval ist und daß die Sole in dem Becken derart kontinuierlich austauschbar ist, daß durch die zugeführte Sole die Sole insgesamt im Becken eine Rotationsbewegung ausführt. Die Sole wird zu diesem Zweck im wesentlichen tangential oder unter einem spitzen Winkel zur Bekkenwand in das Becken eingeleitet. Dadurch wird der Flotende in einer leichten Kreisbewegung von beispielsweise 1 Umdrehung pro Minute automatisch mitgeführt. Er berührt dabei nicht die Innenwand des Beckens.A preferred development finally proposes that the basin is round or slightly oval and that the brine in the basin is continuously replaceable so that the brine altogether performs a rotational movement in the basin by the supplied brine. The brine is introduced for this purpose substantially tangentially or at an acute angle to the Bekkenwand in the basin. As a result, the Flotende is automatically carried in a slight circular motion of, for example, 1 revolution per minute. He does not touch the inner wall of the pool.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Die Zeichnung zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung in Form eines schematischen Schaltplans.The invention is explained below with reference to the drawing. The drawing shows an embodiment of the invention in the form of a schematic circuit diagram.

Die Vorrichtung weist ein mit hochkonzentrierter Sole gefülltes Becken 1 auf. Als Salz wird Magnesiumsulfat verwendet.

Das Becken 1 ist als abgeschlossenes Rundbecken mit einem kreisförmigen Durchmesser ausgebildet. Durch die runde Form kommt der Flotende bei der Behandlung nicht mit störenden Kanten am Beckenrand in Berührung. Das Becken besteht insgesamt aus Kunststoff, vorzugsweise aus Acryl. Eine Kuppel als oberer Abschluß des Beckens 1 vermittelt eine großzügige Räumlichkeit und verhindert dadurch klaustrophobische Beklemmungen des Flotenden. Im Seitenbereich des Beckens 1 ist eine verschließbare Einstiegsöffnung angebracht, welche mit zwei Schiebetüren aus Kunststoff, insbesondere aus satiniertem Acrylglas, geschlossen werden kann. Neben der Einstiegsöffnung sind zwei Acrylsäulen angebracht, in denen jeweils eine Beleuchtungsanlage integriert ist. Die Beleuchtung dient zur Orientierung während des Betretens und des Verlassens des Beckens 1. Am zur Einstiegsöffnung gegenüberliegenden Seitenbereich können zwei weitere Acrylsäulen an dem Bekken 1 angebracht sein, so daß insgesamt das Becken 1 auf den vier Säulen ruht. Zur Beeinflussung des mentalen Zustandes des Flotenden sind in dem Becken 1 eine Bildprojektionseinrichtung zum Projizieren von Bildern an die Kuppel sowie Farblichtanlagen und Klangsysteme angeordnet.The basin 1 is designed as a closed round basin with a circular diameter. Due to the round shape of the Flotende does not come during the treatment with disturbing edges on the edge of the pool in touch. The pool is made entirely of plastic, preferably acrylic. A dome as the upper end of the basin 1 provides a generous space and thus prevents claustrophobic oppressions of the float. In the side area of the basin 1 a lockable manhole is attached, which can be closed with two sliding doors made of plastic, in particular satin-finished acrylic glass. In addition to the manhole, two acrylic columns are installed, in each of which a lighting system is integrated. The lighting is used for orientation during entering and leaving the basin 1. At the opposite side of the access opening side area, two more acrylic columns may be attached to the Bekken 1, so that in total the basin 1 rests on the four columns. To influence of the mental state of the float, an image projection device for projecting images onto the dome as well as color light systems and sound systems are arranged in the basin 1.

Bei Betrieb der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung können über den Schaltschrank verschiedene Programme automatisch durchgeführt werden. Damit jederzeit eine optimale Qualität der Sole gewährleistet ist, muß diese zwischen den Behandlungspausen oder auch über Nacht keimfrei und temperiert gehalten werden. Hierzu wird die Sole aus dem Solespeichertank 6 mittels der Umwälzeinrichtung 2 in die Reinigungseinrichtung 4 und wieder zurück in den Solespeichertank 6 gepumpt. Dabei wird die Sole durch den Aktivkohlefilter 7 und den Beutelfilter 8 gefiltert und durch die Ozonanlage 9 und die Chlorierungseinheit 11 desinfiziert. Zusätzlich kann die Sole bei Bedarf durch die Heizeinrichtung 5 wieder aufgeheizt werden. Die Umwälzung der Sole erfolgt dabei kontinuierlich, und zwar derart, daß die Sole im Becken 1 eine Rotationsbewegung von beispielsweise 1 Umdrehung pro Minute ausführt.When operating the device according to the invention various programs can be performed automatically via the cabinet. So that at any time an optimal quality of the brine is guaranteed, it must be kept germ-free and tempered between treatment breaks or overnight. For this purpose, the brine is pumped from the brine storage tank 6 by means of the circulation device 2 in the cleaning device 4 and back into the brine storage tank 6. The brine is filtered through the activated carbon filter 7 and the bag filter 8 and disinfected by the ozone system 9 and the chlorinating unit 11. In addition, the brine can be reheated by the heater 5 if necessary. The circulation of the brine takes place continuously, in such a way that the brine in the tank 1 performs a rotational movement of, for example, 1 revolution per minute.

Zur Durchführung einer Solebadbehandlung wird zuerst das Becken 1 mit einer vorher eingestellten Menge Sole aus den Solespeichertank 6 befüllt. Nach erfolgter Befüllung werden über die Steuerung die verschiedenen im Schaltkreis vorgesehenen Ventile so eingestellt, daß die Sole im Becken 1 umgewälzt, gefiltert und desinfiziert werden kann. Nach Beendigung einer Solebadbehandlung werden die Ventile so eingestellt, daß das Becken 1 entleert wird und die Sole wieder zurück in den Solespeichertank 6 gepumpt wird.To carry out a brine bath treatment, first the basin 1 is filled with a previously set amount of brine from the brine storage tank 6. After filling the various valves provided in the circuit are adjusted via the controller so that the brine can be circulated in the tank 1, filtered and disinfected. After completion of a brine bath treatment, the valves are adjusted so that the tank 1 is emptied and the brine is pumped back into the brine tank 6 again.

Nach einer maximalen Behandlungszahl muß die verbrauchte Sole abgelassen und durch frische Sole ersetzt werden. Zusätzlich muß das gesamte System durchgespült werden. Nach Entleeren des Solespeichertanks 6 wird über das Frischwasserventil 16 Frischwasser zugeführt. Das gesamte System einschließlich des Aktivkohlefilters 7 wird mit Frischwasser gespült. Danach wird der Aktivkohlefilter 7 über ein Absperrventil 20 gesperrt. Das System ohne den Aktivkohlefilter wird nun mit gechlortem Frischwasser gespült. Auch das Becken 1 wird mit gechlortem Frischwasser gespült. Anschließend wird das Spülwasser zurück in den Solespeichertank 6 gepumpt und aus diesem in die Kanalisation abgelassen. Die Vorrichtung steht nun gereinigt für eine neue Solebadbehandlung zur Verfügung.After a maximum number of treatments, the used brine must be drained off and replaced with fresh brine. In addition, the entire system must be flushed through. After emptying the brine tank 6 fresh water is supplied via the fresh water valve 16. The entire system including the activated carbon filter 7 is rinsed with fresh water. Thereafter, the activated carbon filter 7 is blocked via a shut-off valve 20. The system without the activated carbon filter is now rinsed with chlorinated fresh water. The pool 1 is also rinsed with chlorinated fresh water. Subsequently, the rinse water is pumped back into the brine storage tank 6 and drained from this into the sewer. The device is now cleaned for a new brine bath treatment available.

Zum Ansetzen einer frischen Sole wird zuerst der Solespeichertank 6 mit Frischwasser gefüllt und durch die Umwälzeinrichtung 2 umgewälzt und bei Bedarf durch die Heizeinrichtung 5 nachgeheizt. Das Frischwasser wird dann aus dem Solespeichertank 6 in den Ansetzbehälter 18 gefüllt. Eine vorbestimmte Menge Salz wird hinzugegeben und mittels des Rührwerks 19 wird das Salz in dem Frischwasser umgerührt und gelöst. Die Sole kann dann in dem Becken 1 zwischengespeichert werden und gelangt anschließend zurück in den Solespeichertank 6. Die Sole kann dann noch über die Umwälzeinrichtung 2 umgewälzt und der Salzwert dabei überprüft werden. Stimmt der Salzwert mit einem vorgegebenen Sollwert überein, so ist die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung einsatzbereit für eine neue Solebadbehandlung.To prepare a fresh brine, the brine tank 6 is first filled with fresh water and circulated through the circulating device 2 and, if necessary, reheated by the heating device 5. The fresh water is then filled from the brine tank 6 in the Ansetzbehälter 18. A predetermined amount of salt is added and by means of the agitator 19, the salt is stirred in the fresh water and dissolved. The brine can then in be cached the basin 1 and then passes back into the brine storage tank 6. The brine can then be circulated through the circulation device 2 and the salt value to be checked. If the salt value agrees with a predetermined desired value, then the device according to the invention is ready for use for a new brine bath treatment.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist durch den Einsatz und den automatisierten Ablauf der verschiedenen Einrichtungen auf Dauer wenig kosten- und personalintensiv und liefert zudem ein Solebad in optimaler Qualität.The device according to the invention is by the use and the automated operation of the various facilities in the long run little cost and labor intensive and also provides a brine bath in optimal quality.
