Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a swimming pool cover system capable of meeting both the requirements of safety, aesthetics, energy saving and space.
  • Floating flaps are a first alternative, they support larger loads but have the disadvantage that their winding mechanism occupies part of the lateral space or part of the space surrounding the pool. This type of coverage can not be adapted to all types of basin and particularly to asymmetric basins. They also do not allow to reallocate the space of the pool when it is not used.
  • Retractable lids or floors allow for effective safety and the use of the pool surface as a terrace. Nevertheless, they mobilize a large space next to the pool when it is discovered because the lid must be placed nearby.
  • Such devices are notably disclosed in the documents FR-A-2,752,002 ; AT 380 057 ; US 2,848,722 and WO 91/19870 .
  • the invention described below proposes to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art by proposing a multifunctional submersible platform capable of moving without using complex mechanical or hydraulic means and therefore expensive and difficult to maintain, while offering in the context of a particular embodiment of the use of the platform according to the invention as a heating means for the pool water.
  • Figure 1 shows a three-dimensional diagram of the submersible platform of the present invention in the raised position.
  • Figures 2a, 2b and 2c show schematically the adaptation of the position of the platform of the invention according to the force of Archimedes generated by the accumulation of air in the boxes.
  • Figure 3 shows a section A-A of the submersible platform of the present invention.
  • Figure 4 shows a connection diagram of the flexible pipes connecting the platform of the invention to a compressor system.
  • Figure 5 shows a detail view of the submersible platform of the present invention with its inflatable seal.
  • Figure 6 shows a detailed view of the locking on the platform guides, pneumatically controlled.
  • the present invention discloses a platform for submersible pool cover and positionable on the depth of the pool, said platform comprising at least one watertight box connected to an air supply means, said air supply means making it possible to provide a air volume that can be trapped by said watertight box to generate an Archimedean force to adapt the position of said platform relative to the bottom of the pool.
  • the supply of the airtight caissons resulting in the rise of the submerged platform and the emptying of the caissons of the air which is imprisoned therein will result in the immersion of the platform. This allows to adjust the level of immersion of the platform of the pool to its use.
  • the positioning is managed by a control system.
  • the present invention consists of a submersible pool cover platform 2 actuated by the Archimedes thrust by means of watertight caissons 5 constituting all or part of this cover and the vertical thrust capacity of which is varied by means of the amount of pressure. they can imprison.
  • the mobile platform of the present invention consists, at a minimum, of a frame made from sections 6 and 7 resistant to chlorinated water and a cover element assembled together to form a waterproof box 5, whose outer dimensions are slightly smaller than those of the pool pool.
  • a clearance of approximately 20 to 40 mm is generally provided so that the platform 2 can absorb the thermal expansions and is not in contact with the lining of the pool 1.
  • the cover element of the platform 2 of the invention can be any natural or synthetic material resistant to the water of the pool, such as wood, stone, tiles, metal, glass, transparent resin or not, depending on the aesthetics sought.
  • the weight of the platform constituted by a waterproof frame and a cover must be such that the assembly placed on the surface of the water, namely the platform, can float thanks to the air trapped between this liquid and the waterproof case 5 This weight must also be sufficient for the assembly to flow by gravity when the air is completely emptied of the sealed caissons 5.
  • the frame 6 may be reinforced by additional profiles 7 both in the direction of the length and in the direction of the width of the plate.
  • a variant consists in designing the platform 2 as an assembly of unitary elements, each of which constitutes in itself an independent waterproof box. This variant allows easier handling and assembly of the assembly, which can be achieved without having to empty the basin completely.
  • the rise and fall of the platform 2 uses the principle of Archimedes (Fig.2) in the manner of the ballast of a submarine.
  • the box In the up position (Fig.2a), the box floats on the water under the pressure of the air contained in each of the sealed boxes 5. To lower the platform, simply put the air pocket of each of the boxes to the atmosphere (Fig.2b). Under its own weight, the platform 2 then sinks into the basin by expelling air to the atmosphere (Fig.2c).
  • the air evacuation pipes can be integrated in the profiles of the box and can be constituted by all or part of these same sections if they are tubes. In this case, it is sufficient to drill holes in the upper part of the profiles of each box, on the side of the air pocket.
  • the driving speed of the platform 2 can be regulated by the flow rate of the exhaust air.
  • the platform 2 When the platform 2 is to be raised, it is sufficient to drive water from the caissons by blowing air into it by means of a compressor 10.
  • the lighter air will accumulate at the top of each watertight box 5 to create a pocket and generate a lift force (Fig.2b).
  • the amount of accumulable air and thus the maximum lift is fixed by the geometry of the platform 2 and / or by the number of sealed caissons 5.
  • the ascent speed is adjustable by the flow rate of the air blown beyond the point balance.
  • the pressure of the blown air is also adapted to the depth of the pool.
  • the air pressure in the upper position of the floor can be adjusted to put the floor perfectly level with the edges of the pool.
  • the assembly will be dimensioned so as not to have to completely empty the air pockets in order to run the platform 2. This residual air cushion being used to avoid wetting the upper part of the caissons even when the platform 2 is totally submerged. In other cases, the platform will have to be ballasted to be able to sink effectively.
  • the assembly In order to avoid any untimely movement of the platform in a fixed position and during its vertical translation, the assembly is held by guides 3 (FIG. 1) whose function is to limit the friction during the movements and to block any possibility of This device prevents the trapped air from escaping if the platform 2 had to bow and prevent any risk of damaging the walls of the basin by contact.
  • the guides 3 of the platform 2 are placed in the most judicious places according to the dimensions and the shape of the basin.
  • the invention also provides that the guide systems 3 are provided with a locking device 12 (Fig.6), which allows to firmly lock the platform at all heights of use.
  • This locking system will ideally be a system controlled pneumatically, that is to say by means of the compressor 10 used to generate the movements.
  • the lock 12 will be of the "normally closed” type in order to secure the platform 2 in the event of an air leak or energy cut, voluntary or involuntary.
  • the lock 12 will also be sufficient to keep the platform in the high position, even in the absence of water in the basin (for cleaning operations for example).
  • posts 13 are integrated in posts 13, to hide them. These posts 13 will also be designed to accommodate and protect the hoses 9 necessary for the emptying and inflation of the sealed caissons 5. These posts 13 will have non-aggressive shapes and will be made of a material resistant to the fluid contained in the basin.
  • an inflatable seal 11 At the periphery of the outer frame of the platform (Fig.1) is also provided an inflatable seal 11 to achieve the best possible seal between the edge of the basin and the platform 2 when locked in the high position.
  • This sealing device will thus limit as much as possible the pollution of the pond by grass, leaves, insects and soil sources in general and will save the use of chlorine. It will be inflated by means of the compressor 10 of the installation.
  • a last variant of the invention consists in producing the upper panel of the platform 2 (FIG. 1) in a transparent or translucent material, natural or synthetic.
  • This variant makes it possible to transform the entire pool into a large solar thermal collector (typically 50m 2 ) to accelerate the maximum water heating early in the season.
  • thermodynamic machine heat pump
  • the embodiment of the invention comprising a transparent platform would keep the vision of the pool water in all seasons, and despite the indoor pool.
  • the lighting of the latter could also be integrated in the profiles of the platform.
  • the platform is also provided with a hatch 14 so as to allow the use of a cleaning robot and a system for controlling and regulating the movements of the platform 2.
