Definitions
- the present invention relates to a mobile wall traction device for swimming pools.
- the swimming pool sector uses mobile walls, also referred to as moveable bridges.
- said mobile wall is composed of a structure in stainless steel or composite materials then coated with a grid made from a plastic such as ABS for example.
- the mobile wall can be equipped with other accessories such as hand rails for swimmers, attachment fixtures for lane-marker floating ropes, and fixed or removable starting blocks.
- the wall must be able to move in a traverse manner, such as along the longest sides of a rectangular swimming pool for example, for positioning in the desired points.
- Traverse translation is normally performed by means of wheels, whose axes are fixedly mounted to the sides of the walls. Such wheels move along two parallel rails located in proximity to the longer sides of the pool, or other two opposite sides, in the case of square pools.
- Moving speed is approximately a few metres per minute.
- mobile walls are objects with a very large surface in contact with water that creates considerable resistance to any moving action.
- the document EP 1 288 326 describes a mobile wall traction system, whereby the mobile wall is moved by means of a gear.
- the aim of the present invention therefore, is to resolve the problems described above and in particular to provide a traction system for swimming pool mobile walls that makes transfer of the wall itself, easier and less tiring compared to manual systems.
- Another aim of the present invention is to provide a swimming pool mobile wall traction system that does not include bulky components that occupy space intended for pool users and service personnel, as occured with non-manual systems.
- Yet another aim of the present invention is to provide a traction system for swimming pool mobile walls that is easy and intuitive to use, and at the same time extremely safe for service personnel.
- a further aim of the present invention is to provide a traction system for swimming pool mobile walls that is particularly simple, functional and relatively economical.
- a traction system for swimming pool mobile walls is shown, identified throughout by the numeral 1.
- the traction system 1 for mobile walls for a swimming pool 4, according to the present invention can be applied to pools equipped with at least one mobile wall 2 and at least two parallel rail elements 3, located on at least two opposite sides of the pool 4.
- the wall 2 travels along the rail elements 3 by means of magnetic coupling travel means 5.
- the magnetic coupling travel means 5 comprises at least one transmission element 8 for each rail element 3, which is moved by specific driving means 10, and at least one drawn element 9, attached to the mobile wall 2.
- the drawn element 9 is functionally and magnetically coupled with the transmission element 8 in order to travel in unison with the latter 8.
- the transmission element 8 and the drawn element 9 are coupled together magnetically, as described previously, in a manner to permit release at the rail element 3.
- Both the transmission element 8 and the drawn element 9, for their mutual magnetic coupling comprise at least one magnet 21, in particular, either a permanent magnet or an electromagnet.
- each rail element 3 comprises at least one amagnetic tube 13, made from stainless steel for example.
- the amagnetic tube 13 is equipped with an upper face 14 and is installed with the upper face 14 substantially flush with the floor paving around the perimeter 33 of the pool 4.
- the transmission element 8 also comprises at least one support frame 17 for the magnet and at least two wheels 23, in particular, four in the preferred embodiment shown in figures 2 and 3 .
- the transmission element 8 is positioned so it will slide inside the amagnetic tube 13 in a manner so that the magnet 21 faces the upper face 14 of the tube 13.
- the four wheels 23 permit the transmission element 8 to slide inside the amagnetic tube 13, activated by the driving means 10.
- the positioning of the transmission element 8 and the rail element 3 is conceived so that no components occupy the space destined for pool users and service personnel.
- the drawn element 9 that moves the mobile wall 2 comprises a support frame 18 for the magnet 21, and four wheels 22.
- the support frame 18 supports the magnet 21 in a manner so that it faces the upper face 14 of tube 13, and consequently of the magnet 21 of the transmission element 8.
- the four wheels 22 permit element 9 to slide along the external paving 33 of the pool in unison with the transmission element 8.
- the drawn element 9 is installed inside the structure of the mobile wall 2 so that it is fixed and protected by the latter. In this case as well, since there are no protruding parts, there are no elements that can disturb users or service personnel of the pool 4.
- the wall 2 can be released from the transmission element 8, for maintenance purposes for example, through the application of electromagnets with invertible polarisation, or by adopting mechanical spacing systems for the electromagnets.
- driving means are used to move the transmission element 8, and consequently the drawn element 9 and wall 2.
- driving means 10 are contained inside the amagnetic tube 13 at one or both ends of the pipe and/or in specific compartments set under the paving floor around the perimeter 33 of the pool. In this manner, no components occupy the spaces destined for pool users and service personnel.
- the driving means 10 comprise a belt and pulley system, or cable and winch system driven by specific and known motorised means.
- the belt and pulley system like the motorised means, are positioned inside the tube 13 and/or in at least one compartment located under the floor paving of the pool 4 perimeter.
- the driving means 10 could be formed by a rack system positioned inside the tube 13, as well as a motorised means, also positioned in the tube 13 and/or in a compartment located under the floor paving of the pool 4 perimeter 33.
- the driving means 10 could comprise at least one oleodynamic cylinder, once again positioned in the tube 13 and/or in at least one compartment located under the floor paving of said pool 4 perimeter.
