Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of safety of a swimming pool. It relates more specifically to devices for facilitating the recovery or uncovering of a swimming pool by means of a flexible cover advantageously equipped with longitudinal bars to ensure the holding of such a cover over the pool.
  • Such bar covers may have a very large mass and be difficult to manipulate to proceed with their unwinding or winding over the basin. Moreover, in order to avoid the friction of these covers on the peripheral edges of the basin, it is preferable to wrap / unroll on themselves such covers. These covers therefore remain motionless on the surface of the curbs, but are wrapped around themselves around a winding bar driven in rotation by generally motorized auxiliary means.
  • the invention is more particularly a motorized device for facilitating these winding operations / unfolding of the cover on itself.
  • Such devices thus comprise motorized means able to generate the rotational movement of the winding bar and thus the winding on itself of the cover.
  • the connecting arm is disposed outside the volume of space defined by a rigid frame provided with wheels in contact with the ground.
  • the offset carried out between the motorized axis and the axis of rotation of the link arm relative to the rigid frame then generates an additional torsion torque rotating the rigid frame and preventing it from moving rectilinearly with respect to the surface of the basin.
  • a cane for correcting this deflection and forcing the carriage to remain oriented parallel to the generally rectilinear edge of the basin.
  • Such a device requires from the user a particular vigilance to avoid the deviation of the roll during its winding / unwinding.
  • this correction of the deviation may require a very significant physical effort on the part of the user.
  • Such a device is therefore not satisfactory and does not allow automatic winding / unwinding without the physical assistance of a person.
  • the winding aid has an elongate structure with at one of its ends a motorized axis and at the other end of its rolling elements able to allow frictionless rolling of the elongated rigid frame by relative to the peripheral margins of the basin.
  • the roll diameter increases and the device follows this increase in diameter by raising the free end having the motorized axis relative to the ground.
  • the winding diameter of such a roll is not constant and may have significant variations generating, during the passage of a bump to a hollow, an acceleration of the rotational movement of the roll.
  • the free end in contact with the ground and having rolling elements is then raised, then the roller slows down suddenly when it is in its position of the smallest diameter, and the free end of the device then comes to hit the curbs violently. of the basin.
  • shocks are then transmitted to all the elements constituting the device and can deteriorate quickly, causing a malfunction or failure of the device.
  • such a design of the device does not guarantee operation with a long service life.
  • this phenomenon can also damage the edges of the pool basin by generating cracks or simply unsightly marks at their visible upper surface.
  • Such a device can be dangerous for the user who can be injured during the jerky movement of the device caused by a sudden change in the winding diameter of the roll formed by the cover.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a device for assisting the winding / unfolding of a blanket over a basin which is completely independent, having a high reliability of operation over time and which does not present no risk of degradation for the basin edges or danger for the user.
  • the motorized moving assembly can freely rotate inside the envelope.
  • Such an arrangement is particularly useful for adapting to the increase in the diameter of the roll formed by the flexible cover during its winding.
  • such an arrangement also makes it possible to adapt to the decrease in diameter of the roll formed by the flexible cover during its unwinding.
  • Such a winding aid device also makes it possible to follow the localized variations in the winding diameter of the roll formed by the flexible cover when, in particular, bars deform the cylindricity of the roll. Such bars then form an unbalance that can vary abruptly the level in height of the axis of rotation of the winding bar equipping the flexible cover. In this case, such a winding aid device simply undergoes a rectilinear acceleration of its rolling motion on the ground.
  • the center of gravity of the motorized moving assembly can be offset relative to an axis of the pivot connection between the motorized moving assembly and the casing. so as to form an unbalance, and allow, when the moving assembly is at rest, to automatically position the axis closer to the ground.
  • the unbalance of the motorized moving assembly makes it possible to position the axis facing the ground in order, in particular, to facilitate the coupling between the first integral coupling member of the axis and the second coupling member secured to the winding bar.
  • such an arrangement also makes it possible to transmit a vertical force downwardly to the flexible cover so as to automatically tension the flexible cover when it is wound up. Such a power up then makes it possible to prevent the formation of folds on the surface of the roll formed by the flexible cover.
  • the motorized electric means and the autonomous energy source can be secured to at least one of the two plates.
  • the motorized movable assembly can freely rotate inside the casing without the motorized electric means and the autonomous energy source being able to come into contact with the casing.
  • At least one of the two plates may comprise an orifice arranged in the proximal zone of the envelope, the axis passing through the orifice.
  • the plates have a solid shape substantially circular, that is to say by substantially obstructing the entire surface of the parallel openings of the casing, the axis passes through an orifice in one of the turntables.
  • the plates may have an open shape, in this case the motorized axis can emerge directly at the parallel openings of the envelope.
  • the outer rolling surface may comprise adhesion means able to prevent the sliding of the outer surface on the ground during its operation.
  • adhesion means make it possible to guarantee the rotational movement of the device relative to the ground.
  • adhesion means may in particular be in the form of a strip formed in a material such as vulcanized rubber. They may also be in the form of several disjoint elements regularly distributed around the periphery of the outer rolling surface of the envelope. Such disjoint elements may be in the form of pins or rings in particular.
  • the device may comprise a photovoltaic cell electrically connected to recharge the source of autonomous electrical energy.
  • the autonomous power source of the device can be recharged automatically by solar energy.
  • a photovoltaic cell may in particular be positioned on the envelope or on at least one of the two parallel plates of the device.
  • the device may comprise a handle secured to at least one of the two parallel plates.
  • Such a handle may be in various forms such as a rigid element or a flexible textile strip having two ends each secured respectively to one of the parallel plates.
  • the guiding means comprise at least two rolling elements secured in pivot connection with respectively each of the two plates, the rolling elements cooperating in a rolling motion without sliding with an inner surface of the casing.
  • each of the plates comprises arrangements for rotating guide at least two rolling elements.
  • Such arrangements may in particular be in the form of housings, bearings, bearings or even needle bearings or ball bearings in particular.
  • each of the rolling elements may comprise a pair of wheels secured to an axis.
  • the ends of the axis cooperate with the two parallel plates.
  • the casters are in this case secured in connection with the axis.
  • the wheels can be mounted in pivot connection on the axis which is then fixed relative to the plates.
  • the arrangements providing the pivot connection are positioned at each wheel, and not at the ends of the axis.
  • the device may comprise anti-friction elements arranged at the level of the parallel openings of the envelope, these anti-friction elements making it possible to limit the coefficient of friction between the plates and the envelope.
  • anti-friction elements allow the motorized moving assembly to pivot freely inside the casing, while avoiding the relative translation movement along the axis of rotation of this pivot connection.
  • anti-friction elements may in particular be in the form of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) pads, but also in the form of abutments or ball or needle sockets.
  • PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
  • the anti-friction element can be directly obtained by the use of specific materials to form the plates and / or the envelope of the device.
  • each of the parallel openings of the envelope may advantageously comprise at least one arrangement cooperating with a complementary shape of the facing platen and being intended to form a dust labyrinth.
  • the plates and the envelope may have arrangements preventing the dust of the external environment from penetrating inside the envelope.
  • Such dust labyrinths are generally made by penetrating a fixed portion forming a circular rib within a movable groove also circular.
  • a penetrating shoulder within a bore may also make it possible to form this type of dust labyrinth.
