Definitions

  • the present invention relates to balneotherapy systems comprising a bath and a circulation pump that propels water in a closed circuit.
  • balneotherapy systems which are bubbling baths filled with hot water, having a bath 2 a circulation pump 3 which propels water in a closed circuit through a circulation circuit passing through the bath.
  • the circulation pump 3 propels a liquid, typically water, which can be mixed with air by the venturi effect at the outlet of the injection nozzle 5.
  • the pump 3 thus propels a liquid in a supply pipe 6 connected to the injection nozzle 5 and feeding a series of injection nozzles 5 disposed on the walls of the bath 2.
  • the water then flows through a circulating orifice formed in a wall of the bath 2, generally equipped with a strainer 8, to a rigid suction pipe 4, from where it is pumped by the circulation pump 3 to be reinjected into the feed pipe 6.
  • the pressure at each injection nozzle 5 is lower as the injection nozzle 5 is moved away from the circulation pump 3.
  • balneotherapy system 1 has many disadvantages.
  • the homogeneity of the power of the jets from the injection nozzles 5 is difficult to adjust.
  • the power of the pump must be important to provide sufficient jet power at the injection nozzles 5 furthest from the pump.
  • the NF EN60335-2-60 standard imposes a limit of water retention after emptying the bath at the end of the massage.
  • the amount of water remaining in the bathtub piping must be less than a ratio of 2L of water retention per 1000L of capacity.
  • the injection nozzles 5 are therefore developed so as to facilitate the natural flow of water after emptying the bath.
  • 5.1 injection nozzles that are used in the world of the SPA.
  • 5.1 injection nozzles are much more efficient jet power because of their technical construction, they are adapted for better circulation of the liquid to allow maximum power.
  • the injection nozzles 5.1 are not adapted to operate with a water circulation system which facilitates the flow of water compared to the NF EN60335-2-60 standard. This poses no problem to a manufacturer of SPA, because its products are always obligatorily filled with water. In addition to a SPA, to keep the water always clean, it must go through a filtration system, like a pool.
  • the collector 4.2 is then below the circulation pump 3 and it is therefore impossible to drain the collector 4.2 with the circulation pump 3. This is a problem in balneotherapy installations, for which the standards in force would require drain the manifold 4.2 after each use to avoid stagnation of the water.
  • the invention overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks by providing a balneotherapy system to easily drain the collector.
  • the invention makes it easy to drain the manifold and the rigid discharge pipe in which there can remain liquid after draining the bath through the drain port.
  • the invention is advantageously supplemented by the following characteristics, taken individually or in any of their technically possible combinations.
  • the balneotherapy system comprises a plurality of injection nozzles, each injection nozzle being fed by a supply pipe, each supply pipe being connected, on one side, to the collector, and from the another side, to one of the water injection nozzles.
  • the manifold is connected to the discharge pipe which is connected to the pump.
  • This embodiment provides a greater jet power and better controlled and therefore a better massage quality, while allowing easy draining the collector, which prevents stagnation of water in the collector.
  • the outlet of the drain pump opens into the bathtub through the circulation port.
  • the circulation circuit further comprising a strainer at the circulation port of the bath, the inlet of the circulation pump being connected to the strainer of the bath.
  • the balneotherapy system further comprises a water level detector and a control system configured to activate the drain pump after waiting a predefined time interval from the moment when a water level below a predefined threshold has been reached. been detected.
  • the invention makes it possible to automatically empty the collector.
  • the drain pump is a pump with a power of less than 20 W.
  • the drain pump is a piston pump.
  • the drain pump is a vibration pump.
  • the balneotherapy system further comprises a filter at the inlet of the drain pump.
  • the filter protects the drain pump against residues, dust or impurities.
  • the bath has side walls and a bottom wall, the circulation opening being provided on one of the side walls of the bath.
  • the bath has a bottom wall, the discharge port being provided on the bottom wall of the bath.
  • the inlet of the circulation pump is pointing upwards while the outlet of the circulation pump is pointing downwards.
  • This configuration of the circulation pump makes it possible to optimize the flow of water circulation and to avoid complex assembly by optimizing the integration of the plastic connections between the pump and the pipes.
  • a balneotherapy system 1 comprises a bath 2, a circulation circuit 20 and a circulation pump 3.
  • the bath 2 is a container intended to be filled with liquid, typically water, to take a bath or a shower.
  • the bath 2 typically has an elongated bowl shape.
  • the bath 2 has a bottom wall 25 and side walls 26.
  • a circulation orifice 21 is provided on one of the walls of the bath 2.
  • the circulation orifice 21 is typically arranged on one of the side walls of the bath 2.
  • An outlet orifice 22 is provided on one of the walls of the bath 2.
  • the discharge orifice 22 is typically arranged on the bottom wall of the bath 2.
  • the discharge orifice 22 is typically connected to an evacuation circuit itself connected to the whole sewer to allow the emptying of the bath 2.
  • the liquid circulation circuit 20 comprises a manifold 4.1, and supply pipes 6 and injection nozzles 5.1.
  • the injection nozzles 5.1 are adapted to inject into the bath 2 the liquid circulating in the liquid circulation circuit 20.
  • the injection nozzles 5.1 are contiguous to the injection orifices formed in the bath 2.
  • the injection nozzles 5.1 comprise a liquid inlet 51.
  • the liquid inlet 51 is connected to the liquid circulation circuit 20.
  • the injection nozzles 5.1 may further comprise an air inlet 52 connected to an air circuit 91 via an air intake pipe 91.
  • the injection nozzles 5.1 are then nozzles with venturi effect that exploit the fact that the liquid put under vacuum during the injection sucks the air and allows the liquid / air mixture.
  • the pump 3 is connected to the circulation orifice 21 of the bath 2 via the circulation pipe 10.
  • each injection nozzle 5.1 being fed by a supply pipe 6, each supply pipe 6 being connected to the manifold 4.2, the manifold 4.2 is connected to the discharge pipe 4.1 which is connected to the pump 3.
  • the circulation pump 3 is configured to circulate water in closed loop in the circulation circuit 20.
  • the circulation pump 3 typically has a power of between 900W and 1.5KW. This is for example a rotary pump, axial or centrifugal.
  • the circulation pump 3 has an inlet 31 and an outlet 32.
  • the inlet 31 of the circulation pump 3 is connected to the circulation orifice 21 of the bath 2 via a circulation pipe 10.
  • output 32 of the circulation pump 3 is connected to the manifold 4.2 via the delivery pipe 4.1.
  • the inlet 31 of the circulation pump 3 is oriented upwards while the outlet 32 is oriented downwards.
  • This configuration of the circulation pump 3 optimizes the flow of water circulation and avoids complex assembly by optimizing the integration of the plastic connections between the pump and the pipes.
  • the circulation circuit 20 typically comprises a strainer 8 at the circulation orifice 21 of the bath, the inlet 31 of the circulation pump 3 being connected to the strainer 8 of the bath 2 via a 10.
  • the strainer is a spherical or cylindrical piece, recessed and pierced with holes, for stopping the foreign bodies at the circulation orifice 21 of the bath.
  • the balneotherapy system 1 further comprises a drain pump 7 whose inlet 71 is connected to the collector 4.2, and whose outlet 72 opens into the bath 2.
  • the outlet 72 of the drain pump 7 opens advantageously into the bath 2 through the circulation orifice 21 through the strainer 8.
  • the drain pump 7 makes it possible to drain the collector 4 which could still contain liquid after the emptying of the bath 2 through the discharge orifice 22.
  • the drain pump 7 draws the liquid remaining in the manifold 4.2 and feeds it into the bath 2 so that it is then discharged through the discharge orifice 22.
  • the drain pump 7 is a pump of lower power than the circulation pump 3.
  • the drain pump 7 has for example a power of 20W.
