Abstract

The device has an ultrasonic probe that is fixed and emerging in an angle of a swimming pool. The probe emits an ultrasonic signal horizontally with an opening arc of 90 degree in a surface. A cable connects the ultrasonic probe to a receiver box. The receiver box has a calculator coupled with an alarm module to foresee an accident fall of living creatures into the water.

Description

La présente invention concerne un système de détection et d'alarmeThe present invention relates to a detection and alarm system

nautique ultra-sonique à l'usage de surveillance des piscines privées ou publiques afin de prévenir des noyades dues aux chutes accidentelles d'êtres vivants dans l'eau.  nautical ultra-sonic for use in monitoring private or public swimming pools to prevent drowning due to accidental falls of living things in water.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet également de sécuriser les bassins à flots et les petits plans d'eau fermés contre les intrusions nonautorisées dans l'eau soit en surface soit sousmarines. Le principe du sondeur est constitué de deux éléments distincts. Premièrement, la sonde ou transducteur, deuxièmement 10 le boîtier de réception. La sonde qui est la partie immergée de l'appareil émet un signal ultra-sonique comprit généralement entre les fréquences de cinquante à quatre cent kilo hertz. En mode de détection d'obstacles la sonde émet en permanence des signaux ultra-soniques couvrants l'intégralité du bassin à 15 surveiller. Lorsque le signal ultra-sonique détecte dans son champs un obstacle, il transmet instantanément l'information au boîtier de réception.  The device according to the invention also makes it possible to secure floating basins and small closed bodies of water against unauthorized intrusions into water either on the surface or underwater. The principle of the sounder consists of two distinct elements. First, the probe or transducer, secondly the receiving housing. The probe which is the submerged part of the device emits an ultrasonic signal generally between the frequencies of fifty to four hundred kilo hertz. In obstacle detection mode, the probe continuously transmits ultra-sonic signals covering the entire basin to be monitored. When the ultrasonic signal detects an obstacle in its field, it instantly transmits the information to the reception unit.

Le calculateur intégré au boîtier de réception calcule alors le temps écoulé entre l'envoi du signal et son retour pour détecter 20 l'obstacle et le signaler instantanément par une alarme sonore.  The computer integrated in the reception unit then calculates the time elapsed between the sending of the signal and its return to detect the obstacle and to report it instantaneously by an audible alarm.

Selon les modes particuliers de réalisation, la sonde sera immergée et fixée à un étrier dans un angle du bassin ou piscine à une profondeur d'environ vingt centimètres. La sonde émet à 25 l'horizontal des signaux ultra-soniques avec un arc de quatre vingt dix degrés en surface vingt degrés environ en profondeur et deux cent mètres en longueur. La taille de la sonde est d'environ dix centimètres boîtier de protection inclus. La sonde est reliée par un câble de connexion au boîtier 30 de réception. Le boîtier de réception est positionné soit aux abords immédiat de la piscine soit dans la maison ou bureau de surveillance. Il sera alimenté en deux cent vingt volts sorti douze volts, et auto-alimenté par accus intégrés au boîtier de réception en cas de défaillance du réseau. 35 A titre d'exemple non limitatif, le boîtier de réception étanche couplé à un module d' alarme sonore intégrée de cent dix décibels, d'un affichage LCD de la température de l'eau grâce au capteur de température intégré à la solde, ainsi que des témoins nécessaires de mise en marche, arrêt, et de mise en mode 40 surveillance. Les dimensions du boîtier seront d'environ trente centimètres pour la hauteur, vingt centimètres pour la largeur, et dix centimètres pour l'épaisseur. Ce système d'alarme nautique ultrasonique peut être relié aussi à une autre sonde selon les formes de piscines ou bassins. Ce 45 système d'alarme nautique ultrasonique peut être aussi transportable, la sonde sera équipée au besoin d'une ventouse de fixation. Ce dispositif d'alarme nautique ultrasonique selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à la surveillance de piscines privées par sa facilité d'utilisation et de mise en 50 oeuvre.  According to the particular embodiments, the probe will be immersed and fixed to a stirrup in a corner of the basin or pool at a depth of about twenty centimeters. The probe transmits ultra-sonic signals horizontally with an arc of ninety degrees at the surface approximately twenty degrees in depth and two hundred meters in length. The size of the probe is approximately ten centimeters including protective case. The probe is connected by a connection cable to the receiving housing 30. The reception box is positioned either near the swimming pool or in the house or surveillance office. It will be supplied with two hundred and twenty volts out of twelve volts, and self-powered by batteries integrated into the reception unit in the event of a network failure. 35 As a nonlimiting example, the waterproof reception unit coupled with an integrated sound alarm module of one hundred and ten decibels, an LCD display of the water temperature thanks to the temperature sensor integrated into the pay, as well as the necessary indicators for switching on, off and in monitoring mode. The dimensions of the case will be approximately thirty centimeters for the height, twenty centimeters for the width, and ten centimeters for the thickness. This ultrasonic nautical alarm system can also be connected to another probe depending on the shape of swimming pools or basins. This 45 nautical ultrasonic alarm system can also be transportable, the probe will be equipped with a suction cup if necessary. This ultrasonic nautical alarm device according to the invention is particularly intended for monitoring private pools by its ease of use and implementation.
