Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a swimming pool, in particular a polymer pool, and to a swimming pool made by such a method.
  • One-piece pools are known, of various sizes and shapes.
  • a gel coat is spray-applied onto a shape or a shaper. Then, by projection or in sheets, reinforcing fibers are deposited on the gel coat. These reinforcing fibers are embedded in a resin in the presence of a hardener. These fibers make it possible to strengthen and maintain the geometry of the pool thus stiffened.
  • glass fiber or polymer such as polyester are used as reinforcing fibers.
  • Such pools can be stiffened by mechanical reinforcements, such as struts arranged on their outer face. These pools, have, more or less long term, an alteration of their walls. It is the appearance, on the inner side of the pool, of spots and / or blackish blisters. This phenomenon is known as the "osmosis of the gel coat". It occurs following prolonged contact of this resin with water, especially chlorinated or treated water used in swimming pools. This is a chemical degradation of the gel coat which no longer serves as a watertight barrier. This osmosis causes a passage of water in the layers of reinforcing fibers, which generates the appearance of traces of moisture and blisters. We know, to remedy this phenomenon, protective paints applied on a gel coat.
  • FR-A-2 729 422 describes a method of manufacturing a swimming pool having the features of the preamble of claim 1 and describes a swimming pool having the features of the preamble of claim 6. The realization of such pools is long and not easy, which induces a manufacturing cost therefore. In addition, the installation of a sealing film is necessary.
  • the invention intends to remedy more particularly by proposing a method of manufacturing a pool that is easy to implement, avoiding any risk of osmosis and preserving the watertightness and the quality of the walls of the swimming pool. .
  • the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a swimming pool according to claim 1.
  • thermoformable material By realizing the different elements of the pool in a thermoformable material, the phenomenon of osmosis of the gel coat is avoided, while having a process that is easy to implement because of the variety of shapes and dimensions possible for a pool made in from these unit wall elements.
  • the fact of making several elements corresponding to at least two types of elements allows a great modularity when designing a swimming pool.
  • the invention also relates to a swimming pool made according to claim 6.
  • a wall element as shown in Figures 1 to 3 is made from a plate or sheet of a thermoformable material P.
  • the material is a polymer or a mixture of polymers based on acrylic resin such as ABS.
  • the thermoformable material is, for example, PVC or impact polystyrene.
  • Such flat plates P are easy to manufacture and exist in thicknesses generally between 1 and 15 millimeters with a width close to 2.60 meters.
  • the shaping of the wall elements from an acrylic resin-based polymer plate is effected by thermoforming, as illustrated in FIG. figure 10 for the element shown in figure 3 .
  • This technique known per se, consists of heating a plate P and applying it to the frame of a negative mold M, in a sealed manner. By suction, by evacuating between the mold M and the plate P, is deformed the plate P which bears against the inner wall of the mold M by matching the shapes of the latter. Thus, the plate P deforms without losing its mechanical properties and certain dimensional characteristics, especially its thickness. After cooling, an acrylic resin wall element having the desired shape is obtained.
  • This technique makes it possible, in series, to produce several wall elements such as those illustrated in FIGS. Figures 1 to 3 .
  • This element is used in particular for making a bottom element of the pool 2.
  • At least two bottom wall elements of the pool are assembled so as to obtain a pool width of 3 to 5 meters. Alternatively, for pools of width less than 3 meters, only one element 1 is used.
  • bottom elements are adapted to cooperate with bottom elements 1 as illustrated in FIG. figure 1 to make long-term funds.
  • the wall element 3 shown in FIG. figure 2 is a sidewall element of a pool.
  • This lateral element 3 comprises a peripheral zone forming an upper rim 4 facing the outside of the pool.
  • This upper outer rim 4 has preferably a U-shaped section, which improves the rigidity of the upper edge and the establishment of a curb surrounding the pool.
  • a peripheral rim 5, made on the edge opposite that provided with the flange 4, is directed towards the inside of the pool.
  • This lower rim is a foot support 5 ground. During the assembly of the different wall elements, the foot 5 participates in the bottom of the pool 2.
  • Element 6, shown in figure 3 constitutes a corner element of the pool and has two walls 6a, 6b connected by a rounded area 6c constituting a corner of the pool 2.
  • These corner elements 6 comprise, like the elements 3, upper flanges 4 and lower 5.
  • Such a rim 4, alternatively, can be added, for example, by gluing, welding or screwing, once the assembly of the elements 3, 6 carried out, preferably before strengthening the pool.
  • walls can be made in free or non-rectilinear form.
  • an upwardly directed flange is formed on at least one edge of a bottom member 1. This flange is during assembly, a lower portion of a wall element 3 or 6. The latter are then without foot 5.
  • thermoforming molds corresponding to the elements or modules 1, 3, 6, all shapes and sizes of pool of commonly encountered sizes, for example 7 m long by 3.6 m wide, 8 m, are produced. long by 3.8m wide, 9m long by 4m wide or 10m long by 4.2m wide. It should be noted that larger sizes are achievable, as long as the pool can be easily transported by land, rail, sea or air.
  • thermoforming molds corresponding to the elements 3 and 6 are used, the bottom element 1 being made of a plate of thermoformable material, without shaping of the latter.
  • thermoforming molds corresponding to elements 1 and 6 illustrated in FIGS. Figures 1 and 3 to make a rectangular pool 2 of common dimensions about 12 meters long and 5 meters wide.
  • the elements 6 are then devoid of upper rim 4 and lower 5, the rim 4 can be added after assembly.
  • an additional step is performed after the first step of thermoforming the elements.
  • the reinforcing fibers 8 are placed on one side of the elements.
  • reinforcing fibers 8 are deposited, in particular glass or polymer fibers such as polyester, "loose" or woven into sheets 20 on the outer face of the elements 1, 3, 6 as shown in FIG. figure 10 .
  • the number of sheets 20 or the amount of bulk fibers 8 required is deposited by forming layers or strata until the desired reinforcement of the element is obtained.
  • the fibers 8 or the sheets 20 are held together by means of a resin 80 impregnating the fibers 8 or the sheets 20 of fibers.
  • This resin 80 is associated, in use, with a hardener which ensures rapid polymerization of the resin 80 thus reinforced by the fibers 8 or the sheets 20.
  • the actual assembly of the elements is done, according to a first example illustrated in Figures 5 and 6 , by overlapping the edges of the adjacent elements. In this case, during the thermoforming step a), the edges are configured so as to overlap. This assembly is done before the step of depositing the fibers 8 or the reinforcing sheets 20.
  • an element 1, 3, 6 has a recess D of one of its edges B sufficient for an edge B 'complementary to another element 1, 3, 6 is positioned on it.
  • the elements are assembled, for example by gluing or welding, so that their two internal faces are coplanar.
  • the reinforcement by the fibers 8 or the sheets 20 and the resin 80 is then carried out.
  • Resin 80 is suitable to fix in a strong and durable manner on a bottom element 1 or wall element 3, 6.
  • the edges B, B ' are overlapped without the elements 1, 3, 6 having their coplanar internal faces at the assembly zone Z.
  • the elements are glued or welded.
  • a seal 10 is arranged on either side of the assembly zone Z. This seal 10 also makes it possible to stiffen the assembly zone and to avoid the appearance of angular and unsightly zones at the level of the internal side of the pool.
  • FIGS. Figures 7 to 9 the identical edges B, B 'of two adjacent elements 1, 3, 6 are abutted as shown in FIGS. Figures 7 to 9 .
  • a T-section seal 11 covers the entire assembly area Z. This seal 11 can be glued. It also improves the appearance of the internal surface of the pool.
  • the figure 8 illustrates another example of an assembly.
  • the edges 30 of two adjacent elements 1, 3, 6 are configured in L and secured for example by screwing, gluing, bolting or riveting.
  • the edges 30 are oriented towards the outside of the pool 2, which makes it possible to obtain a smooth and regular internal face.
  • the fibers 8 or the reinforcing sheets 20 are deposited on the outer face of the elements 1, 3, 6 where the actual assembly takes place.
  • the tightness of the assembly can be improved by the insertion of a seal, not shown, between the edges 30 thus assembled.
  • This type of assembly is particularly suitable for in situ mounting.
  • the resin 80 armed with fibers 8 or sheets 20 covers the joined edges 30. In this case, the assembly must be done in the factory.
  • the figure 9 illustrates a preferred mode of assembly of the elements.
  • the seal 12 is generally configured in H with a leg 120 substantially shorter than the other leg 121. This configuration allows a more effective maintenance of the seal in position and an optimum seal compared to the illustrated assemblies. figures 7 and 8 .
  • the edges B, B 'of the adjacent elements 1, 3, 6 are inserted into the housings defined on either side of the body of the gasket 12 by the legs 120, 121.
  • the leg 120 is asymmetrical relative to the body of the seal 12. It is shorter on one side than the other.
  • a housing with an edge B or B 'defined by the legs 120, 121 has sides of different lengths and the other housing of the other edge B' or B has flanks of the same length.
  • a pool 2 as illustrated in the figure 4 , just assemble, as partially represented in the figure 10 four elements of angle 6 and two bottom elements 1.
  • the elements 6 are free of rim 4.
  • a side wall element 3 is inserted on one of the short sides of the pool 3.
  • this pool 2 is equipped with a staircase 7 also thermoformed in a plate based on acrylic resin.
  • thermoforming the wall members after the first step of thermoforming the wall members, these are stored for future use. In the case of subsequent use, the final assembly of the pool is done either in the factory or in situ.
  • the assembly takes place at the factory.
  • the deposition of the fibers 8 or reinforcing sheets 20 and the resin 80 is performed on the elements in the assembly position on a shaper or a form.
  • a shape or conformation is used, constituting a template G in negative of the pool 2.
  • the side wall elements 3, 6 and bottom 1 are positioned. If necessary, other elements are positioned. such as a staircase 7. In this positioning, it is necessary to put the face of the element intended to be in contact with the water as shown in FIG. figure 10 , that is to say in contact with the shaper, to avoid mounting "upside down".
  • the fibers are covered by a protective outer layer, for example, paint.
  • longitudinal and / or vertical mechanical reinforcements such as struts, are arranged on the outer face of the elements.
