Description

The invention relates to the field of sanitary engineering and is intended for hydromassage procedures implemented both in static and dynamic modes in showers of both domestic and commercial purposes, including without or with a negligible amount of drained water and / or the maximum recovery of the latter, including from the air removed from the cockpit, and is aimed at expanding the functionality, improving the efficiency and quality of offline whirlpool bathtubs tsedur (ships, submarines, hotels and SPA salons in areas depleted in water or during the implementation of traditional hydromassage procedures, but with the possibility of working with a different type of processing medium with its insignificant pressure), while achieving the maximum water acupuncture effect on different parts of the human body, with the vertical position of the latter.

Widely known are the methods of conducting water procedures in the hydromassage cabin, including the formation of jet flows by a hydromassage device with statically located water nozzles, the water supply to which is carried out from the mixer tap of the centralized main and its removal through the drain hole of the pallet connected to the spout located at the bottom of the cab [ 12].

A common disadvantage of these methods is their relatively low efficiency and limited functional and technological capabilities that do not provide or make it extremely difficult to carry out hydromassage procedures in the following conditions:

- a relatively limited water pressure in the centralized highway, especially the upper floors of multi-storey buildings;

- the need for a high degree of ranking for the growth of people (patients) to be hydromassaged, given the static arrangement of water nozzles.

The closest to the proposed technical essence and the achieved result known solution, selected as a prototype, is a method of carrying out water procedures in a hydromassage cabin, including the formation of jet streams with a hydromassage device with statically located water nozzles, the water supply to which is carried out using a pump connected to a pallet installed under the cab, equipped with a valve connected to the cab outlet and a spout for filling [3].

A disadvantage of the known method selected as a prototype is its relatively limited functional and technological capabilities and the effectiveness of the hydromassage procedures.

This is explained, on the one hand, by the need for continuous drainage of water or the relatively short duration of the hydromassage cabin in the mode of recycling of the latter due to the presence of contaminants coming from the surface of the human skin, and on the other hand, difficulties or even the impossibility of conducting high-quality hydromassage selected areas of the skin of different height people due to the static arrangement of water nozzles.

In addition, another disadvantage of the known, selected as a prototype, method is the difficulty or inability to work with different temperature and / or multicomponent liquid medium (respectively, hot and cold water and / or aqueous solutions containing soluble compounds, for example: essential oils of eucalyptus, lavender , infusion of chamomile, etc.).

A new technical result consists in expanding the functional and technological capabilities, increasing the efficiency and quality of hydromassage procedures, which are implemented, inter alia, with or with a negligible amount of drained water and / or maximum recovery of the latter, including from the air removed from the cabin.

This is achieved by the fact that in the method of carrying out water procedures in the hydromassage cabin, including the formation of jet flows by a hydromassage device with water nozzles, the water supply to which is carried out using a pump connected to a sump installed under the cabin, equipped with an actuator for draining connected to the outlet of the cabin and a nozzle for filling, according to the invention in the process of hydromassage and / or after its completion, the water used is disinfected, and when supplied the latter in the hydromassage device with water nozzles carry out its cleaning from mechanical impurities and / or magnetic treatment, while the hydromassage device itself is performed in the form of a cabin connected to a vertical fence or a stand located inside it, equipped with adjusters of an arbitrary and / or maximum zone of jet-dynamic processing and a mechanism for at least a reciprocating movement in a vertical plane mounted on brackets of water nozzles, and the pallet itself is carried out in the idea of n-compartments with the corresponding liquid processing medium, each of which, through appropriate actuators, is connected, via an actuator for draining, both with the outlet of the cab and with the pump inlet, and also with the output of at least the device for disinfecting water, the input of which is connected, through the appropriate actuator, with the output of the pump.

In this case, the disinfection of the water used is carried out using a device made in the form of a cartridge with an appropriate set of ultraviolet lamps.

The value of n is determined from the condition: n = 1, 2, 3, 4.

At the same time, the actuator for draining connected to the outlet of the cab is three-way, one of the outputs of which is connected to actuators providing switching of the drained water with n-compartments with the corresponding liquid processing medium, and its other outlet is connected to the drain into the sewer.

Moreover, in the process of hydromassage and / or after it is finished, moist air is removed from the cabin, including with the recovery of the aqueous phase from it into the corresponding compartment of the pallet.

Water is also supplied to the water nozzles of the hydromassage device from a centralized highway.

And as actuators providing switching of the drained and disinfected water with n-compartments with the corresponding liquid processing medium, as well as the latter with the pump inlet, three-and two-way solenoid valves with the corresponding nominal diameter are used, respectively.

Moreover, after the end of the hydromassage process, compressed air, including heated air, is supplied to the water nozzles of the hydromassage device to remove possible residual aqueous solutions from the nozzle openings of the nozzles and / or blowing the human body, the equipment for the implementation of which use, respectively, an oil-free blower and film electric heater.

Comparative analysis with the prototype shows that the inventive method has advanced functional and technological capabilities that allow hydromassage procedures using automatically moving in a given treatment area, at least in the vertical plane, of water nozzles as in a long recycle mode used different in temperature and / or the composition of the aquatic environment, and in the operation mode of the hydromassage cabin from the centralized highway.

In addition, in the process of hydromassage and / or after it is completed, moist air is removed from the cabin, including with the possibility of recovering the aqueous phase from it into the appropriate compartment of the pallet, as well as supplying compressed air, including heated air, to remove residues aqueous solutions from nozzle openings of nozzles and / or blowing the human body.

Thus, the claimed method meets the criteria of the invention of "novelty."

Comparison of the proposed solution not only with the prototype, but also with other technical solutions in the art showed that there is a known method of hydromassage procedures, including the use of a hydromassage device installed in a domestic bathtub, made, in particular, in the form of a rack connected to the end wall of the bathtub, equipped with adjusters of the jet dynamic processing zone and the mechanism of reciprocating movement in the vertical plane of the collectors with elements of the formation of inkjet s, in which the water supply is carried out from the faucet mixer central line [4].

The disadvantage of this method is its relatively limited functional and technological capabilities that do not provide or make it extremely difficult to carry out hydromassage procedures and / or use elements of the formation of jet streams, especially with a wide (about 400-600 mm) zone of jet dynamic processing and a submillimeter diameter of the formed jets , in conditions:

- a relatively limited water pressure in the centralized highway, especially the upper floors of multi-storey buildings;

- a relatively limited set of types of used liquid processing medium (only cold or warm water);

- the hardness of the water used is relatively heavily contaminated with salts, which can lead to relatively fast clogging of nozzle openings of small diameter (of the order of 0.6-0.8 mm).

This allows us to conclude that the claimed technical solution meets the criterion of "significant differences".

Figure 1 presents one of the variants of the device that implements the proposed method with n = 2 (two compartments with cold and warm water).

The hydromassage cabin that implements the proposed method comprises a vertical guard 1 with a roof 2 equipped with a sliding door (not shown in Fig. 1) made using non-metallic materials, with a hydromassage device installed inside the guard 1, made in the form of a connected (in this embodiment) with a vertical guard 1 of the cabin of the rack 3, equipped with setters 4, 5 of arbitrary and / or maximum zone of jet-dynamic processing and a mechanism for at least reciprocating movement in vert ical plane (not shown in figure 1) along the guide 6 of the carriage 7, connected to the bracket 8, used to accommodate water nozzles 9, connected by a hose 10 to the first outlet of the three-way ball valve 11, the second outlet of which is used to drain part of the water used for hydromassage (in this case) through an actuator for draining connected to the outlet of the cab, made (in this embodiment) in the form of a three-way ball valve 12, the first outlet of which is connected to the sewer inlet, and the second to the stroke is connected to the input of a three-way solenoid valve 13, the outputs of which are connected to the compartments 14 and 15 of the pallet, equipped, depending on the purpose, with monitoring instruments and equipment for sparging and / or heating of the processing medium (not indicated in Fig. 1) and electromagnetic valves 16 and 17, the outputs of which are connected to the input of an electric pump unit 18 equipped with a filtration unit (not indicated in Fig. 1), the output of which is connected to the input of a three-way ball (in this embodiment) valve 19, the first output of which is connected n with the input of a device for disinfecting water made in the form of a cartridge 20 with an ultraviolet lamp 21, the output of which is connected to the input of a three-way solenoid valve 22, the outputs of which are connected to the compartments 14 and 15 of the pallet, and the second output of the three-way ball valve 19 is connected through a flow switch ( in this embodiment) and a check valve (not indicated in FIG. 1), with an inlet of a three-way ball valve 11.

Moreover, in the process of supplying water from the pump 18 to the three-way ball valve 11, it is additionally processed using a magnetic activator 23, which protects the nozzle holes of the water nozzles 9 from hardness salts contained in the water used.

Moreover, in the process of hydromassage and / or after it is completed, using the roof cab 2 (in this embodiment) of the fan 24 connected by a separator 25, moist air is removed from the cab, including the recovery of the aqueous phase from it compartments 14, 15 of the pallet for reuse.

In addition, the water supply to the water nozzles 9 of the hydromassage device using manual and / or solenoid valves (not indicated in Fig. 1) is also produced from a centralized line, including cleaning the supplied water from mechanical impurities.

In the same way, compressed air can be supplied, including heated air, to remove residual aqueous solutions from the nozzle holes of the nozzles and / or blow the person’s body using manual and / or solenoid valves, a film (for example) electric heater and an oil-free blower or compressor (not shown in FIG. 1).

The hydromassage cabin for carrying out water procedures according to the proposed method works as follows.

Before starting work, for example, through the corresponding pipe (not shown in Fig. 1), the compartments 14 and 15 of the pallet are filled with water and the preparation of its parameters is carried out using appropriate monitoring devices and equipment for level control, bubbling and / or heating of the processing medium (temperature, level, air saturation, etc.).

To implement the recycle mode, the ball valve 12 is set to position 1-2. At the same time, the electromagnetic valve 13 remains in the normally open (direction 1-2) position, thereby ensuring recycling of the used water (in this case) along the circuit: compartment 15 of the pallet — normally closed electromagnetic valve 17 — electropump assembly 18 — flow switch (RP ) - non-return valve - ball valve 11 - water nozzles 9 - compartment 15 of the pallet.

Then, using the setters 4, 5, for example, an arbitrary, blasting zone, made, for example, in the form of Hall sensors (mounted on brackets, moved along the guide 6), interacting with magnets placed on the carriage 7), establish the required size of the latter, corresponding to the anthropometric data of the person and / or the selected processing zone.

In this case, the angle of attack of “packets” of parallel jets, for example with diameters of the submillimeter range, is selected within 15–30 ° or is changed using a detachable coupling (not shown in FIG. 1) connected to the collector (which serves to install or place water nozzles).

After reaching the required temperature (about 36-38 ° C) of water, for example, in section 15, the normally-closed solenoid valve 17 is opened, the electropump unit 18 is turned on and the speed head of the jets is regulated using a ball valve 11 and / or a ball valve 19.

In this case, a ball valve 19 is used (in this case) to regulate the flow rate of the device used to disinfect part of the water used in the hydromassage, supplied to the cartridge 20 with an ultraviolet lamp 21, the output of which is connected to the input of a three-way solenoid valve 22, normally open in the 1-2 direction, thereby ensuring recycling of the water to be disinfected (in this case) along the circuit: compartment 15 of the pallet — normally closed solenoid valve 17 — electropump assembly 18 — cartridge 20 with an ultraviolet lamp 21 - normally open solenoid valve 22 in the 1-2 direction - compartment 15 of the pallet.

After that, the cabin is prepared for hydromassage procedures of a person who is located on the ladder 26 with holes installed at the bottom of the cabin (not shown in FIG. 1), mounted on a tool tray 27 located between the vertical guard 1 and the pallet, in turn mounted on the transverse rails 28, rigidly connected to the opposite walls of the pallet.

After closing the sliding door (not shown in FIG. 1), the cabin by a person subjected to hydromassage procedures, using the remote control located directly in the cabin and / or service personnel from the central remote control (located outside the cabin), sequentially produced:

- setting the necessary speed of the reciprocating movement of the water nozzles 9 relative to the human body;

- setting the required number and / or time of reciprocating movements of the water nozzles 9 relative to the human body;

- inclusion (by opening) of a normally-closed solenoid valve 17, as well as the inclusion of an electric pump unit 18;

- the inclusion of an electric motor with a gearbox (not shown in FIG. 1), providing, by rotating the gears, the reciprocating movement of the gear belt along them (not shown in FIG. 1) and, as a result, rigidly connected to the last carriage 7, connected with bracket 8 with mounted water nozzles 9.

This ensures the supply (depending on the available water flow rate at the outlet of the electric pump unit 18, taking into account the direction of its part into the disinfection device), for example, several parallel and thin packets (with an output diameter from 0.5 to 1.0 mm) of warm jets ( in this case) water, of considerable length, multiple, for example, 200 mm, of high kinetic energy, supplied, in the process of their reciprocating movement, to the selected part of the human body for processing at a speed of up to 20-30 m / s, which is achieved mean effective acupuncture effect.

After reaching the specified number and / or the end of the time of reciprocating movements of the water nozzles 9 relative to the human body and, if necessary, carrying out contrasting hydromassage procedures, the following are performed in succession:

- turning off the electric motor with the gearbox (not shown in FIG. 1), providing, by stopping the rotation of the gears, stopping the reciprocating movement of the gear belt along them (not shown in FIG. 1) and, as a result, rigidly connected to the last carriage 7 connected to the bracket 8 with water nozzles 9 mounted thereon;

- turning off the supply voltage (the essence of closing) of the electromagnetic valve 17, as well as turning off the electric pump unit 18;

- supplying a supply voltage to a three-way solenoid valve 22, thereby translating it into an open position in the 1-3 direction;

- the inclusion (by opening) of a normally-closed solenoid valve 16, as well as the inclusion of an electric pump unit 18;

- the inclusion of an electric motor with a gearbox (not shown in FIG. 1), providing, by rotating the gears, the reciprocating movement of the gear belt along them (not shown in FIG. 1) and, as a result, rigidly connected to the last carriage 7, connected with bracket 8 with mounted water nozzles 9, thereby ensuring:

- recycling of used water (cold, in this case) along the circuit: compartment 14 of the pallet - normally closed solenoid valve 16 - electric pump unit 18 - flow switch (RP) - check valve - ball valve 11 - water nozzles 9 - compartment 14 of the pallet;

- recycling the water to be disinfected (cold, in this case) along the circuit: compartment 14 of the pallet - electromagnetic valve 16 - electric pump unit 18 - cartridge 20 with an ultraviolet lamp 21 - normally open in the 1-3 direction electromagnetic valve 22 - compartment 14 of the pallet.

After reaching the specified number and / or the end of the time of the reciprocating movements of the water nozzles 9 relative to the human body, when performing contrast (in this case) hydromassage procedures, the following are performed in sequence:

- turning off the supply voltage (the essence of closing) of the electromagnetic valve 16, as well as turning off the electric pump unit 18;

- turning off the supply voltage to the three-way solenoid valve 22, thereby translating it into an open position in the 1-2 direction;

- turning off the electric motor with gear rack 3, thereby ensuring the restoration of the cab equipment to its original state.

At the same time, during the hydromassage process and / or after its completion, the fan 24 is turned on to remove moist air from the cabin, including with recovering from it, using a separator 25, the aqueous phase in the compartments 14 and / or 15 of the pallet.

и/или в случаях выхода из строя электронасосного агрегата, необходимости замены фильтрующего воду элемента и/или обеззараживающего устройства подачу воды в водные форсунки 9 гидромассажного устройства можно производить и от крана-смесителя, подключенного к централизованной магистрали.And if the specific flow rate of water coming from the mixer tap is sufficient for hydromassage $$2\left(q_{\mathrm{At}d.}^{\mathrm{FROM}tR.}\ge 0.1l/\mathrm{from}\right)$$

and / or in cases of failure of the electric pump unit, the need to replace the water filtering element and / or the disinfecting device, the water can also be supplied to the water nozzles 9 of the hydromassage device from a mixer tap connected to a centralized highway.

Compressed air can also be supplied to the water nozzles 9 of the hydromassage device, including heated, to remove residual aqueous solutions from the nozzle holes of the nozzles and / or blow the person’s body using manual and / or electromagnetic valves, a film (for example) electric heater and compressor (not shown in FIG. 1).

In addition, if necessary, the number of compartments in the pallet can be increased to 4, with a corresponding increase in the number of types of liquid processing medium - aqueous solutions containing soluble compounds, for example: essential oils of eucalyptus, lavender, chamomile extract, solution for cleaning the internal nozzle nozzle surfaces, etc.).

At the same time, to ensure the disinfection of the processing medium, the output of the corresponding device is equipped with an additional three-way solenoid valve, normally open in the direction of the electromagnetic valve 22, which, when the supply voltage is applied, changes the flow of the switched fluid in the direction of another three-way electromagnetic valve supplying the disinfected liquid Wednesday in the 3rd and 4th compartment of the pallet.

Thus, the proposed method for carrying out water procedures in a hydromassage cabin, in comparison with the known one selected as a prototype, has advanced functional and technological capabilities that allow hydromassage procedures to be carried out using automatically moving in a given treatment area, at least in the vertical plane, water nozzles both in the mode of a long recycle used in different temperature and / or composition of the aquatic environment, and in the mode of functioning of the whirlpool cab s from the centralized highway, with an increase in the efficiency and quality of hydromassage procedures implemented automatically with a wider and more variable blasting zone, in the presence of a water acupuncture effect, including without or with a negligible amount of drained water and / or maximum value recovery of the latter, including from the air removed from the cabin.

The implementation of the proposed method does not meet fundamental difficulties.

So, as the corresponding parts of the hydromassage cabin that implements the proposed method, it is possible to use fencing with a roof made using non-metallic materials and equipped with a sliding door, for example, from the hydromassage cabin of the DOCTOR JET BOX FORTUNATA - S series (dimensions around the perimeter: 2140 × 930 mm) or a hydromassage cabin of the Apollo A-0735 series (dimensions around the perimeter: 1800 × 1100 mm), with the corresponding (in size, number of sections and equipping with appliances and equipment) execution of their pallet and roof.

The jet forming panels of water nozzles with conoidal profile openings and output diameters of the submillimeter range can be made according to the RF patent No. 2046685 with the nozzle hole structure formed in accordance with the RF patent No. 2296672, and in the form presented in the RF patent No. 2443482 using the appropriate thermoplastic material ( polystyrene, polypropylene, ABC-plastic, etc.), molds and equipment, for example, automatic molding machines such as ARBURG - A 270-21-500.

A hydromassage device can be made according to patent No. 2424063 in the form of a rack equipped with adjusters of arbitrary and / or maximum zone of jet-dynamic processing and a mechanism for at least reciprocating movement in the vertical plane of water nozzles mounted on the brackets.

As an electric motor with a gearbox of the reciprocating movement mechanism, taking into account the relatively small mass of the transported load (about 2-3 kg), AD-200 or FL86STH series DC stepping motors with a supply voltage of 24 and 12 V, respectively, can be used.

Flexible manifold sections can be implemented using SPRINGUIN ELASTIC flexible hoses or corrugated hoses.

As a device for disinfection, a disinfection chamber with an ultraviolet lamp manufactured by NPO LIT, designed for a productivity of 1-2 m ³ / h, can be used.

As an electric pump unit with a filter element, a MINI filter unit (Italy) can be used, calculated depending on the number of openings in the water nozzles used for productivity, for example, 3 or 6 m ³ / h.

As a device for magnetic treatment of water, a magnetic activator of the AMP type can be used - (08-20) UMNV manufactured by ZAO Elmat-PM (Kaluga).

Three and two-way solenoid valves for direct current voltage 12 (24) V and ball valves, as well as non-return valves with the corresponding nominal diameter, can be used as actuators for switching air-water flows.

And as equipment for monitoring and / or regulating the level, bubbling and heating of the processing medium, respectively, can be used:

- float indicators and / or direct-acting regulators;

- collectors made of polypropylene with holes formed in them;

- bottom teflon heaters, etc.

Comparison of the functionality, efficiency and quality of hydromassage procedures implemented in the present method with domestic and foreign methods of similar purpose, the data of the experiments and the numerous reviews already received from consumers of handheld shower heads "Alekseev’s Souls" for home use in domestic bathtubs indicate the guaranteed achievement of the invention of a new technical result.
