Abstract

Bottom self-cleaning system for swimming pools. # Constituted from a circuit of cleaning impellers, parallel to the main one, placed at the bottom of the pool, oriented towards the bottom drain, where when the system only has the keys open The valves of the drain system of the bottom sump and the cleaning impeller circuit act as a cleaner when pushing dirt into the sump.

Description

DESCRIPTION

SELF-CLEANING SYSTEM OF THE POOL FUND OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a bottom self-cleaning system for prefabricated and newly constructed swimming pools by means of an additional installation 5 of several impeller points such as surface ones, but in the lower area of the pool.

It comes to solve the problem in terms of time and difficulty that requires the cleaning of the pool bottom, being the most laborious task of all daily maintenance. Manual carts, in addition to being very heavy, take 10 to clean an irregular pool, and most robots only partially clean it. An additional installation of several lateral impeller points at the bottom of the pool pointing in the direction of the bottom sump while it sucks manages to clean the rectangular pools practically and autonomously and in the case of irregular shapes it is enough to supplement with a sweep with a Pool brush in a few minutes.

The advantages of this invention are the following:

- Pool bottom cleaning automatically.

- Pool bottom cleaning faster and more efficiently than other current methods.

20 - It is applicable to prefabricated traditional skimmer pools and

also with overflowing glass systems applying the same installation system.

The industrial application of this invention is within the sector of pool cleaning systems and more specifically, self-cleaning systems for pool bottoms.

Thus, document ES2373601A1 refers to a process of water purification, without the contribution of salts, of those used for the treatment of pool water, which comprises a simultaneous application of the electrolysis technique and the ultraviolet radiation technique on the water to be treated, which develops in a single reactor and comprises - a first phase of water entering the reactor, - a second phase of water circulation through the reactor, being exposed during its advance to both techniques, and - a third phase of exit of the treated water from the reactor, - where the three phases are continuous during the time that the process lasts once it has begun. The principle of this invention is based on the treatment of purified water, not on the cleaning of larger solids that precipitate to the bottom as proposed by the main invention.

ES2179722A1 proposes a water gilding, which comprises a housing that has inlet and outlet openings in line and a removable cover that supports the electrode terminals, the terminals being spaced and having rods that extend from them through of concentric anode and cathode discs, with alternate discs electrically connected to each rod. As in the previous case, it does not deal with the cleaning of solids deposited in the bottom as the proposed invention.

Document ES0350332A1 describes a water purification procedure for swimming pools, which proceeds to circulate the water through a system formed by four arches that, in combination with a motor-pump impeller device and pipes and stopcocks, cause the water flows through a filter scrubber of aggregate layers and perforated nozzles, filtering and cleaning, by diverting part of the flow to a degassing system. The aforementioned invention relates more to a process of water purification and filtration, than to the cleaning of solids that are deposited at the bottom of the pool.

Conclusions: As can be seen from the research carried out, none of the documents found solves the problems raised as the proposed invention does.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The bottom self-cleaning system for swimming pools object of the present invention is constituted from a circuit of impellers parallel to the main one placed at the bottom of the pool, oriented towards the bottom sump.

The global circulation system of a swimming pool has three drainage channels: the bottom drain, the socket for the pool cleaner and the one corresponding to the skimmers or overflowing vessels, each with its stopcock towards a single entrance to the pump of the system. After the pump, the system has a selector valve that can choose between passing through the filter, passing to the drain line or returning to the impeller circuit that branches into two with their respective stopcocks, one of the main impeller circuit and another of the cleaning circuit.

When the system only has the valve openings of the bottom sump drain system and the cleaning impeller circuit open, it acts as a cleaner when pushing dirt into the sump.

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

A preferred embodiment of the bottom self-cleaning system for swimming pools object of the present invention, with reference to the numerical references, can be based on a circuit of impellers parallel (2) to the main one placed at the bottom of the pool and oriented towards the sump from the bottom (3).

The overall circulation system of a pool has three drainage channels: the bottom drain (3), the socket for the pool cleaner (4) and the one corresponding to the skimmers or overflow vessels (5), each with its key step (6, 7, 8) towards a single input to the system pump (9). After the pump (9) the system has a selector valve (10) that can choose between passing through the filter (11), passing to the drain line (12) or

To return to! impeller circuit (13) that branches into two (1, 2) with their respective stopcocks, one of the main impeller circuit (14) and another of the cleaning circuit (15).

When the system only has the valve keys of the bottom drain system (7) and the cleaning impeller circuit (15) open, it acts as a cleaner when pushing dirt into the drain

(3).
