Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a relatively large-scale aqua-leisure facility such as a leisure pool or a public bath.

<Prior art> In recent years, aqua leisure facilities have been introduced with various functions designed to attract people's interests, and those with high playability such as running water pools, wave pools, and water slides tend to be preferred. Is high.

<< Object of the Invention >> The present invention is extremely dynamic and highly playable, and
The purpose is to provide a completely new aqua-leisure facility that can be safely promoted.

<< Structure of the Invention >> The feature of the present invention is that the water stored in the leisure water pool facility is constructed in such an aqua leisure facility that the water and the depth can be enjoyed by people. A mass air discharge tank is provided deep from the surface of the water, and air can be supplied to the mass air discharge tank from an air supply device.The mass air discharge tank has an air reservoir posture with its opening facing downwards and conversely upwards. It is supported in a reversible manner with a large air discharge posture, and the gravity acting on the tank causes a downward air collecting posture, and the buoyancy of the large amount of air stored in the tank causes the upward air to resist the gravity. It is configured so that it can be reversed to the mass discharge posture, and the air supplied from the air supply device is stored in a large amount in the air mass discharge tank, and the air mass discharge tank is filled with air. From the attitude to the mass air release attitude, a large amount of air is expelled into the water from the mass air release tank at once to generate large bubbles, and the strong levitation force of these large bubbles pushes the water above the large bubbles up to the water surface. The point is that it is configured to project explosively above.

<Operation> According to the above configuration, the mass air discharge tank is set in the downward air storage posture, a large amount of air is supplied and stored therein, and then the tank is inverted to the upward air mass discharge posture. A large amount of air in the stored tank is expelled into the water at once, forming huge bubbles and rising, and the bubbles rise after the water surface rises greatly. This causes the swimmer on the bubble to be lifted or upset.

In this case, the degree of generation of bubbles, the degree of rise, and the degree of popping change every time, so even if trying to get over the bumps on the water surface and the popping bubbles, it does not work well, and the swimmer wants to try without hesitation.

Also, the fact that the bubbles are less dense than water causes them to fall into the bubbles and then be pushed up by the water surface at the bottom of the bubbles, which itself becomes dynamic and interesting.

In addition, the surrounding people can also enjoy watching the swimmer's imbalance and falling into the water, and the bubbling of bubbles, which is fun just to watch.

<< Example >> An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a pool 1 as a leisure water pool facility is filled with water at an appropriate depth for swimming. Then, pits 2 are recessed at a plurality of places on the bottom of the pool 1, and a grid 3 having a size that does not allow a person's feet to fit into the opening of the pit 2 is placed on the top of the pit 2. The pit 2 is provided with a mass air discharge tank 4 while being configured to walk.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the large-amount air discharge tank 4 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a bottom of a protruding curved surface, and is rotatably supported in the pit 2 via a horizontal support shaft 5. Has been done. The support shaft 5 is installed on the tank 4 at a position closer to the bottom than the center of gravity, and in a free state, the opening 6 is stabilized by its own weight in a posture in which the opening 6 faces vertically downward as illustrated. Has been done.

An air blowing nozzle 7 is provided at the center of the bottom of the pit 2, and this nozzle 7 is connected to an air supply device 9 via a pipe 8.

The air supply device 9 includes a compressor 11 driven by a motor 10, an air storage tank 12 that stores air from the compressor 11, an assembly header 13 that distributes and supplies the air in the tank 12 to each pipe 8, and an assembly header 13. The automatic control valve (for example, a solenoid valve, a motor-operated valve, a pneumatic valve, etc.) 14 provided in the control unit 15 for opening / closing or controlling the opening degree.

A pressure sensor 16 and a safety valve 17 are installed in the air storage tank 12.
Is provided, the motor 10 is controlled to be turned on / off based on the detection result of the pressure sensor 16, and air of a predetermined pressure is always stored in the tank 12.

A timer and a random number mechanism are incorporated in the control device 15, the automatic operation valve 14 of the assembly header 13 is opened and closed at random, and air is blown out from each nozzle 7 so that the opening 6 is in a downward posture, that is, air. Air is supplied from below to the mass air discharge tank 4 in the storage position.

The aqua-leisure facility according to the present invention is configured as described above, and when the air mass discharge tank 4 is filled with water, the tank 4 has an opening 6 facing downward as shown in FIG. It is in a storage posture, and when the air is blown out from the nozzle 7 and supplied into the tank 4, the water in the tank 4 is gradually removed and the air is stored. When the inside of the tank 4 is filled with air, the buoyancy in the lower part of the support shaft 5 becomes larger than the buoyancy in the upper part of the support shaft 5, and the tank 4 can overcome the downward turning force due to its own weight. 4 is reversed to the upward air mass discharge posture, and the large amount of accumulated air is discharged into the water at once. The released air rises up with huge buoyancy 16 due to strong buoyancy, raises the water surface greatly and then explodes on the water surface explosively, and if a swimmer is on this bubble 16, it will be strong. It is lifted due to the water surface uplifting, and the balance is greatly disturbed and it is fallen down.

In this case, the timing at which air is blown from the nozzle 7
By randomly controlling the supply amount and making the generation of bubbles 16 unpredictable, unexpectedness increases and swimmers have a thrilling expectation to wait for bubble generation, which is interesting. Will increase further. Further, since the tank 4 can be rotated either to the left or to the right, it is always uncertain whether the tank 4 will be reversed in the left or right direction depending on the supply condition of the air, and the position of the bubble 16 coming out of the pit 2 is changed accordingly. .

Incidentally, since the lattice 3 is provided at the opening of the pit 2, when the bubbles come out from the pit 2 into the pool 1, they are once divided, but immediately aggregate to form a huge bubble 16 and rise.

In addition to the shape described above, the mass air discharge tank 4 has, for example, a vertical cylindrical shape having a flat bottom surface as shown in FIG. 4, a hemispherical shape as shown in FIG. 5, and a shape shown in FIG. A partially spherical shell shape or a horizontal cylindrical shape with the lower part cut off as shown in FIG. 7 can be considered. The vertical cylindrical shape shown in FIG. 4 is easy to manufacture, but if a small amount of air remains in the tank 4 in the downward air storage posture, the air is biased to one side of the bottom portion and the entire tank 4 tilts. There is a risk that some of the air blown out from the nozzle 7 will come off from the opening, and there is a problem in the air storage performance. In addition, since the bottom surface of FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 is curved, the air accumulated at the bottom is highly effective in maintaining the vertical posture of the tank 4 by gathering at the center of the upper part of the tank. There is a problem that the manufacturing is difficult and the cost is high.

Further, in the case of the horizontal cylindrical shape shown in FIG. 7, since the stored air starts to come out as a connection of relatively small bubbles along the edge of the opening 6 at the time of reversal and then comes out as relatively large bubbles. , There are some difficulties in making giant bubbles 16.

The vertical cylindrical shape with the convex curved bottom surface shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 is the best in terms of the manufacturing surface, the performance of generating huge bubbles, and the restoring property to the vertical air collecting posture.

In the embodiment, the reverse rotation of the air mass discharge tank 4 is
Although the buoyancy balance of the stored air is disturbed, the tank 4 may be inverted or restored and rotated from the outside by using an electric or fluid pressure actuator. It is possible.

<< Effects of the Invention >> As described above, the aqua-leisure facility according to the present invention exhibits the following effects.

(1) Because you can play by being lifted up by a huge bubble that pops up and pops up on the surface of the water, is tumbled, or balances out and overcomes the bubbles.
Demonstrate a new and dynamic play that cannot be enjoyed at conventional facilities.

(2) Since air is once stored in a tank for discharging a large amount of air provided in the water, and this tank is inverted to discharge a large amount of the stored air into the water at a stretch to generate large bubbles.
Large bubbles are easier to form than a means for directly generating bubbles by ejecting a large amount of air from a nozzle provided in water.

In other words, it takes a certain amount of time to eject a large amount of air from the nozzle, so it is difficult to generate large air bubbles at once, but in the present invention, tank inversion causes large air bubbles to be generated instantly. The effect of (1) above can be maximized.

(3) Since it is easy to set the bubble size and shape depending on the size and shape of the large-volume air discharge tank, it is easy to take variations in bubble generation according to conditions such as the size of the leisure water pool facility and the water depth. .
