Abstract

A housing fitted into the pool measures the temperature existing between the aquatic medium and a bather, these parameters being fed into a thermal imaging camera. The system has an visual and/or sound alarm control which can if required generate an electronic, optical, mechanical or pneumatic action by freeing a second safety system placed at the bottom of the pool. which will rise to the surface bringing the bather with it.

Description

La présente invention concerne l'élaboration d'un produit technique, basé sur le principe de la mesure de différence de température et/ou chaleur entre un milieu aquatique et le baigneur s'y trouvant et agissant par le déclenchement d'une alarme et/ou d'une commande dans le but de procéder au sauvetage du baigneur en le ramenant à la surface de l'eau dans une piscine a surveiller. The present invention relates to the development of a technical product, based on the principle of measuring the temperature and / or heat difference between an aquatic environment and the bather being there and acting by the triggering of an alarm and / or an order to rescue the bather by bringing it to the surface of the water in a swimming pool to be monitored.

A ce jour, les problèmes de noyade dans les piscines privées, les enfants en bas âge étant particulièrement concernés, ne trouvent pas réellement de parade efficace. Les systèmes existants sont peu fiables et même les fournisseur d'accessoire de piscine refuse de les vendre, ne voulant pas engager leur responsabilité sur de tels produits. To date, drowning problems in private pools, young children being particularly concerned, do not really find an effective solution. The existing systems are unreliable and even the supplier of swimming pool accessories refuses to sell them, not wanting to take responsibility for such products.

APPLICATIONS
Prévention des accidents de noyade dans les piscines des particuliers. APPLICATIONS
Prevention of drowning accidents in private pools.

DESCRIPTIF
Produit de détection de présence humaine animale dans une piscine sous forme de boîtier rond ou autre en métal ou autre matière, intégrable à une installation existante de piscine privée pour en assurer la sécurité et utilisant le principe de la prise de mesure de la différence de température et de chaleur existant entre le milieu aquatique considéré et le baigneur qui s'y trouve, ces paramètres étant relevés par l'utilisation d'une caméra thermique, puis traités électroniquement par un système à base de microprocesseur de façon à générer les commandes d'alarme ou d'action désirées, telles que déclenchement d'un signal visuel et/où sonore et pouvant si besoin générer une action électronique, visuelle, mécanique où pneumatique sur un système de sécurité placé au fond de la piscine tel que fond en plastique ou bois ou pneumatique ou autre-matière flottante, ledit système libérant ledit fond de sa position de veille celui-ci remonte naturellement à la surface de l'eau du fait de sa flottabilité, opérant ainsi le sauvetage du baigneur en le ramenant à la surface de l'eau. DESCRIPTION
Product for detecting the presence of human animals in a swimming pool in the form of a round or other box made of metal or other material, which can be integrated into an existing installation of a private swimming pool to ensure its safety and using the principle of measuring the temperature difference and heat existing between the aquatic environment considered and the bather therein, these parameters being recorded by the use of a thermal camera, then processed electronically by a microprocessor-based system so as to generate the commands for alarm or desired action, such as triggering a visual and / or audible signal and, if necessary, generating an electronic, visual, mechanical or pneumatic action on a safety system placed at the bottom of the pool such as a plastic bottom or wood or pneumatic or other floating material, said system releasing said bottom from its standby position it rises naturally on the surface of the water due to its buoyancy, thus operating the rescue of the bather by bringing it back to the surface of the water.

La caméra thermique peut-être placée soit dans la piscine, soit en déporté. Le produit d'alarme utilise comme moyen de traitement et de gestion de l'information un micro-contrôleur The thermal camera can be placed either in the swimming pool or in the remote location. The alarm product uses a microcontroller as a means of processing and managing information

Claims

CLAIM 1) - Alarm and monitoring product for swimming pools by detecting human or animal presence in a swimming pool, characterized in that it consists of a box that can be integrated into an existing private swimming pool installation to ensure its safety by measurement of the temperature difference existing between the aquatic environment considered and the bather therein, these parameters being recorded by the use of a thermal camera.

2) -Product of alarm and monitoring of swimming pools according to claim 1 characterized in that it has an alarm control which triggers a visual and / or audible signal and can if necessary is generate an electronic, optical, mechanical action where pneumatic on a command releasing a second rescue system placed on the bottom of the pool to be monitored which will rise to the surface using its buoyancy to bring the bather to the surface of the water.

3) -Product of alarm and monitoring of swimming pools according to claim 1 characterized in that it uses as a means of processing and information management, a microcontroller 4) -Product of alarm and monitoring of swimming pools according to claim 1 characterized in that the camera is placed in the swimming pool.

5) -Product of alarm and monitoring of swimming pools according to claim 1 characterized in that the camera is placed remotely.
