Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an automatic activation device for a shower for entering a pool.

Generally, pools with domes are known, which are used as outdoor pools in the summer and indoor pools in the winter. This pool is usually equipped with a shower room (rI!), and the shower is operated automatically for those who enter the pool.In other words, there are entrances and exits at both ends of the shower room. Light zone type switches are installed, and if a person entering the pool (object to be detected) blocks the light beam generated by these light zone type switches, the shower and the light zone are interrupted.
Al? A solenoid valve connected to a type switch automatically releases water from the shower, allowing pool visitors to bathe in this water before entering the pool. Self-help operating devices are required to operate with durability even in hot regions exposed to tropical summer solar radiation, and for hygiene reasons, are required to be used in an atmosphere containing chlorine, which is useful for sterilization. be done.

In addition, as a self-help operating device for the shower for entering the pool,
When a pool visitor enters the shower room, one shower is automatically activated, and when they leave the shower room, the shower is either inactive or not. is required to be maintained.

If the A switch is unable to withstand the solar radiation in the extremely hot region, a phototube switch or A switch may be used to turn off the shower when pool visitors enter and exit the shower room. It activated,
It had the disadvantage of wasting water.

This invention was made in consideration of the front handle 1#, and a plurality of all-weather type infrared sensors with long-lasting facing transducers and receivers are installed at predetermined intervals at the entrances and exits provided at both ends of the shower room. By installing a double layer with a double-layered structure, it can withstand sunlight and chlorine atmosphere in extremely hot regions for a long time, and the shower is automatically activated when a pool visitor enters the shower room, preventing fleas when exiting the shower room. To provide an automatic activation device for a pool entrance shower capable of keeping a moss shower in a non-operating state.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 3. 1 in Fig. 1 is a shower room, and this shower room 1 is divided into a first shower room 1a and a second shower room by a partition 2.
It is partitioned into a shower room 1b. Doorways 3 and 4 are provided at both ends of the shower room 1, and the doorway 4 serves as a communication port from the shower room 1 to the pool 5.

0, and a light transmitting/receiving infrared sensor 11 which transmits light from light transmitters 11a and 11b and receives light from a light receiver 11C. Transmitter/receiver facing infrared sensor 8, 9
, 10, and 1iti are all infrared sensors of the modulated infrared pulse beam type with transmitters and receivers facing each other, which generate a luminous flux in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. Infrared moment! A predetermined interval is provided between the sensors 8 and 9 and between the infrared sensors 10 and 11, respectively. The infrared sensors 8, 9, 10.11 are respectively connected to the control groove 1a12 as shown in the 21st column.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, each of the showers 7a and 7b is connected to an on-off valve 14 via an arsenal valve 13a, 13b and piping, respectively, and this on-off valve 14 is connected to a water supply source 15 and a hot water source 16 at a temperature. It is connected via a regulator 17. The solenoid valves 13a and 13b each have a control ω41 as shown in FIG.
It is electrically connected to the device 12.

Next, the operation of the automatic shower operating device constructed as described above will be explained.

Before entering the pool, open the on-off valve 14 in advance and energize the control groove [12]. At this time, each solenoid valve 138-13
The valve b is closed, and the infrared sensor 8.10 is in a state where it can detect a broken object.

A light transmitter 8a for the pool visitor 6 to enter the pool;
When the light passes between the light receivers 8b and is blocked, the infrared sensor 8 detects this pool visitor 6, and the infrared sensor 9f is energized via the control device 12f based on the output signal, and the infrared sensor 9 is in a state where it can detect the object to be detected. It is said that

Next, when the pool visitor 6 passes between the light transmitter 9a and the light receiver 90 and blocks the light, the infrared sensor 9 detects the pool visitor 6, and the detection No. 15 causes the control device R12f to detect the pool visitor 6.
1 valve 13a is opened, water comes out from each shower 7a, and when the pool visitor 6 who passes between the light transmitter 58a and the light receiver 8b blocks light f times between the light transmitter 9b and the light receiver 590. , the infrared sensor 9 detects this pool visitor 6, and the detection signal causes the solenoid valve 13 to be activated via the control device 12f.
b is opened, and water comes out from each shower 7b. The water from these showers 7a and 7b is mixed with water from the water supply source 15 and hot water from the hot water supply source 16, and is warmer than the temperature controller 17i! f adjusted, on-off valve 14, piping, solenoid valve 13 a
, 13 b'r, via.

Here, the pool visitor 6 takes a shower and crosses the entrance 41 to exit the shower room 1. After the infrared sensor 9 enters the detectable object state, the infrared sensor 9 is released from the detectable object detectable state by a timer in the control device 12 for a predetermined period of time, and becomes the detectable object undetectable state. Also, shower 7a.

When a predetermined period of time has elapsed after the start of each operation, the solenoid valves 13a and 13b are closed by the control device jlL2, thereby stopping the operation.

When the pool visitor 6 exits the shower room, the pool visitor 6 first moves between the light transmitter 11a1 and the light receiver 11C or the light transmitter 1.
1b and light receiving 411c'! r-, but at this time the infrared sensor 11 is not in a state where it can detect the object,
σC means that there is no water coming out from the showers 7a and 7b, and then when the pool visitor 6 passes between the light transmitter 10a and the light receiver 10b and blocks the light, the external ray sensor 10 detects the red rays.
The detection signal enables the infrared sensor 11 to detect the object, but this infrared sensor 11
There is no water from the showers 7a and 7b because there are no lights. The infrared sensor 11 is enabled to detect an object by a timer in the control device 12, and after a predetermined period of time, the infrared sensor 11 is released from the object detectable state and enters an undetectable state. The control device 12 thus controls the outer infrared sensor 8
Or, based on the object detection signal of the outer infrared sensor 10, these outer infrared sensors 8. Inner infrared sensor 9 or inner infrared sensor 1 closest to lO
1 is in a state where the object to be detected can be detected, and among these (Ill
4 by the detected object detection signals of the infrared sensors 9 and 11.
The shower 7a or shower 7b is operated via the magnetic valve 13a or '#ii magnetic valve 13b to cause water to flow out from the shower 7a or the shower 7b, and the inner infrared sensor 9, 11
After a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the state in which the detected object can be detected is canceled, and the solenoid valve 13a is opened after a predetermined period of time has elapsed after the showers 7a and 7b have started operating.
, 13b are closed, and the showers 7a and 7b are brought into a non-operating state.

The pool visitor 6 moves back and forth between the light transmitter 10a and the light receiver 10b, leaves the shower room 1, and enters the pool 5.

The infrared sensors 8, 9, and 10.11 each have a light transmitting part and a light receiving part at a plurality of locations facing each other and having different degrees of roughness between the respective light transmitters and receivers, and are covered with different heights of 4°. It is designed to be able to detect both objects 6 (for example, adults and children).

It has durability even in a chlorine atmosphere.

Above, we have explained the effect when the pool visitor 6 enters the pool, but the effect when the pool visitor 6 leaves the pool is the same as above, only the direction of movement of the pool visitor 6 is different, so we will not explain it. Omitted.

As explained above, according to the present invention, a plurality of all-weather, long-durable, transmitter-receiver opposing type infrared sensors are installed at each of the entrances and exits provided at both ends of the shower room, and placed at a predetermined interval. Because it has a heavy structure,
It can withstand long exposure to sunlight in hot climates (in extremely hot regions) and use in chlorine atmospheres, and automatically activates the shower when a pool visitor enters the shower room and keeps the shower inactive when they leave the shower room. This can prevent wasted water.
