Description

Bassin à structure modulaire auto-portante La présente invention concerne un bassin à structure modulaire auto-portante. Par bassin, on entend tout récipient prévu pour contenir un qrand volume d'eau. L'invention convient donc tout particulièrement pour les piscines de balnéot érapie ou d'hydrothérapie bien que son spectre d'application soit notablement plus larqe. The present invention relates to a modular self-supporting structure. By basin is meant any container intended to contain a large volume of water. The invention is therefore particularly suitable for swimming pools with a whirlpool or hydrotherapy, although its spectrum of application is notably wider.
Les piscines traditionnelles sont constituées par un bac rigide sur les faces internes duquel est apposé un revêtement doté des caractéristiques requises en matière d'hygiène et de résistance chimique. Ainsi la demande de brevet français FR 2 729 696 enseigne une piscine pour hydrothérapie dans laquelle le bac est formé par une enceinte monobloc en béton. Le poids d'un tel bac est considérable, ce qui crée de grandes difficultés lorsqu'il est envisagé de placer la piscine dans un immeuble. La réalisation du bac sur le site est de plus soumise à toutes les contraintes liées à l'emploi du béton. Par ailleurs, un tel bac n'est pas démontable. Les limitations de la piscine traditionnelle sont pratiquement éliminées par la structure de piscine proposée dans le brevet français FR 2 180 419. Cette structure comprend une enceinte porteuse formant caisson à 1 ' intérieur de laquelle sont fixés des panneaux de tôle pour former le bassin. Le revêtement intérieur est réalisé par des plaques en matériau synthétique qui sont collés sur les panneaux de tôle. En effet, les plaques de revêtement ne sont pas suffisamment rigides pour résister à la pression hydrostatique du bassin . Cette piscine présente 1 'avantage de supprimer le bac monobloc des piscines traditionnelles. Cependant, l'assemblage sur site est une opération relativement complexe qui nécessite un effort important en matière de main d'oeuvre. En effet, il faut construire l'enceinte porteuse, fixer les panneaux de tôle a l'intérieur de cette enceinte et finalement coller les plaques de revêtement sur ces panneaux. Là non plus, 1 ' ensemble n ' est pas démontable.Traditional pools consist of a rigid tank on the internal faces of which is affixed a coating endowed with the required characteristics in terms of hygiene and chemical resistance. Thus, French patent application FR 2 729 696 teaches a swimming pool for hydrotherapy in which the tank is formed by a one-piece concrete enclosure. The weight of such a tank is considerable, which creates great difficulties when it is envisaged to place the swimming pool in a building. The construction of the tank on site is also subject to all the constraints linked to the use of concrete. Furthermore, such a tray is not removable. The limitations of the traditional swimming pool are practically eliminated by the swimming pool structure proposed in French patent FR 2 180 419. This structure comprises a load-bearing enclosure forming a box inside which sheet metal panels are fixed to form the pool. The interior covering is made of synthetic material plates which are glued to the sheet metal panels. In fact, the covering plates are not rigid enough to withstand the hydrostatic pressure of the basin. This pool has the advantage of eliminating the one-piece tank of traditional pools. However, assembly on site is a relatively complex operation which requires a significant effort in terms of labor. Indeed, it is necessary to build the bearing enclosure, fix the sheet metal panels inside this enclosure and finally stick the covering plates on these panels. Again, the set is not removable.
On connaît également la demande de brevet allemand DE 21 19 524 A qui enseigne une piscine dont le fond et les cloisons latérales sont réalisés par assemblage de modules préfabriqués formés chacun d'un panneau rigide sur lequel est collé une membrane de revêtement synthétique. La membrane déborde du panneau et 1 ' étanchéité est assurée par soudage au solvant des parties de cette membrane qui se superposent lors de l'assemblage. Là encore, il n'est pas possible de démonter les modules sans endommager la membrane.We also know the German patent application DE 21 19 524 A which teaches a swimming pool whose bottom and lateral partitions are produced by assembling prefabricated modules each formed by a rigid panel on which a synthetic covering membrane is stuck. The membrane overflows from the panel and the seal is ensured by solvent welding of the parts of this membrane which overlap during assembly. Again, it is not possible to dismantle the modules without damaging the membrane.
La présente invention a ainsi pour objet un bassin dont l'assemblage est simplifié dans une large mesure et qui de plus est démontable.The present invention thus relates to a basin whose assembly is simplified to a large extent and which is also removable.
Selon l'invention, le bassin comporte des parois, à savoir un fond et des cloisons latérales, et ces parois sont réalisées par assemblage de modules préfabriqués comportant chacun un panneau rigide, une plaque de revêtement et des moyens de fixation ; hormis l'épaisseur, les dimensions de la plaque de revêtement sont au plus égales aux dimensions correspondantes du panneau rigide.According to the invention, the basin comprises walls, namely a bottom and side partitions, and these walls are produced by assembling prefabricated modules each comprising a rigid panel, a covering plate and fixing means; apart from the thickness, the dimensions of the covering plate are at most equal to the corresponding dimensions of the rigid panel.
De préférence, le panneau rigide comporte une âme en nid d'abeilles. De plus, les modules comportent une couche externe fixée d'un côté de l'âme, une couche interne fixée de 1 ' autre côté de cette âme, la plaque de revêtement étant elle-même fixée sur la couche interne au moyen d'une couche d ' accrochage. Pour améliorer l' étanchéité, il y a avantage à prévoir une section commune entre la couche externe d'un module du fond et la couche interne d'un module d'une cloison latérale.Preferably, the rigid panel comprises a honeycomb core. In addition, the modules comprise an external layer fixed on one side of the core, an internal layer fixed on the other side of this core, the covering plate being itself fixed on the internal layer by means of a bonding layer. To improve sealing, it is advantageous to provide a common section between the outer layer of a bottom module and the inner layer of a module of a side wall.
En outre, la section commune présente un canal prévu pour recevoir un joint. Par ailleurs, les cloisons latérales sont pourvues de renforts.In addition, the common section has a channel for receiving a joint. Furthermore, the side partitions are provided with reinforcements.
De même, lorsque le bassin présente un volume important, les cloisons latérales sont ceintes de poutres qui sont fixées entre elles.Similarly, when the basin has a large volume, the side partitions are surrounded by beams which are fixed between them.
Selon une caractéristique additionnelle du bassin, une goulotte étant fixée à une section supérieure des cloisons latérales, il comporte un profilé ajustable en hauteur qui chevauche cette section supérieure et la goulotte. Avantageusement, le bassin repose sur une plate-forme dont l'inclinaison est réglable.According to an additional characteristic of the basin, a trough being fixed to an upper section of the side partitions, it comprises an adjustable profile in height which straddles this upper section and the trough. Advantageously, the basin rests on a platform whose inclination is adjustable.
Selon un mode de réalisation privilégié, le bassin comportant des panneaux d'habillage, ces panneaux présentent une faible inclinaison par rapport à la verticale. De plus, un espace libre est ménagé entre le bas de ces panneaux d'habillage et le sol.According to a preferred embodiment, the basin comprising covering panels, these panels have a slight inclination relative to the vertical. In addition, a free space is provided between the bottom of these covering panels and the ground.
En outre, le bassin est pourvu sur sa périphérie d'une margelle qui surplombe la goulotte, margelle qui est de préférence amovible. La présente invention apparaîtra maintenant de manière plus détaillée dans le cadre de la description qui suit d'exemples de réalisation donnés à titre non limitatif en se référant aux figures annexées qui représentent :In addition, the basin is provided on its periphery with a coping which overhangs the chute, a coping which is preferably removable. The present invention will now appear in more detail in the context of the following description of embodiments given without limitation with reference to the appended figures which represent:

Les éléments présents dans différentes figures sont affectés d'une seule et même référence. Les modules des parois du bassin, qu'il s'agisse du fond ou des cloisons latérales sont donc réalisées d'un seul tenant, cette opération étant réalisée en usine.The elements present in different figures are assigned a single reference. The modules of the walls of the basin, whether it is the bottom or the side partitions are therefore made in one piece, this operation being carried out in the factory.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation, un module est réalisé par collage d'une plaque de revêtement sur un panneau en acier. Le matériau de la plaque de revêtement doit être neutre bactériologiquement et inerte chimiquement. Dans le cas des bassins de balnéothérapie, l'eau est en effet à une température relativement élevée, 35° C ou même plus, et la concentration en chlore est très élevée. On peut donc envisager des matériaux minéraux tels que le verre. Cependant, les plaques de verre sont délicates à manipuler et elles sont lourdes. Il semble donc plus approprié d'employer un matériau synthétique tel que le polychlorure de vinyle. Avantageusement, on choisira une résine acrylique, le polyméthacrylate de méthyle qui présente une résistance supérieure aux agressions thermiques, chimiques et même lumineuses.According to a first embodiment, a module is produced by bonding a covering plate to a steel panel. The material of the cover plate must be bacteriologically neutral and chemically inert. In the case of balneotherapy pools, the water is indeed at a relatively high temperature, 35 ° C or even higher, and the chlorine concentration is very high. We can therefore consider mineral materials such as glass. However, the glass plates are delicate to handle and they are heavy. It therefore seems more appropriate to use a synthetic material such as polyvinyl chloride. Advantageously, an acrylic resin, polymethyl methacrylate, which has superior resistance to thermal, chemical and even light attack, will be chosen.
L'acier est un matériau courant d'emploi. Il présente cependant des limitations qui sont bien connues de l'homme de 1 'art, notamment son poids, sa résistance thermique et sa relative sensibilité à la corrosion. Ainsi, selon un deuxième mode de réalisation, la plaque qui assure la rigidité du module est découpée dans une structure nid d'abeille pré-imprégnée.Steel is a common material for use. However, it has limitations which are well known to those skilled in the art, in particular its weight, its thermal resistance and its relative sensitivity to corrosion. Thus, according to a second embodiment, the plate which ensures the rigidity of the module is cut from a pre-impregnated honeycomb structure.
En référence à la figure 1, le module selon une forme privilégiée se présente comme un sandwich composite. Il comporte un panneau rigide formé d'une âme 1 en nid d'abeilles insérée entre une couche externe 2 et une couche interne 3 de résine polyester. La couche interne est celle qui reçoit le revêtement interne et elle est donc enduite d'une couche d'accrochage chimique 4 sur laquelle est fixée la plaque 5 en acrylique. A titre d'exemple, le module présente les mesures suivantes selon son épaisseur : - couche externe : 10 mm - âme : 40 mm - couche interne : 5 mmReferring to Figure 1, the module in a preferred form is presented as a composite sandwich. It comprises a rigid panel formed from a honeycomb core 1 inserted between an external layer 2 and an internal layer 3 of polyester resin. The internal layer is that which receives the internal coating and is therefore coated with a chemical bonding layer 4 on which the acrylic plate 5 is fixed. As an example, the module presents the following measures according to its thickness: - external layer: 10 mm - core: 40 mm - inner layer: 5 mm
- revêtement : 5 mm- coating: 5 mm
En référence à la figure 2 , la couche interne 3 est repliée à sa périphérie pour former un rebord 31 sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan du module, ce rebord faisant saillie du côté de la couche externe 2. On prévoit de plus tout le long du rebord des orifices 32 régulièrement disposés dans sa partie libre qui dépasse de la couche externe 2. Ainsi, à titre d'exemple, la réalisation d'une paroi se fait par assemblage de plusieurs modules au moyens de boulons (non représentés dans la figure) traversant ces orifices.Referring to Figure 2, the inner layer 3 is folded at its periphery to form a rim 31 substantially perpendicular to the plane of the module, this rim projecting from the side of the outer layer 2. In addition, provision is made along the rim of the orifices 32 regularly disposed in its free part which protrudes from the outer layer 2. Thus, for example, the production of a wall is done by assembling several modules by means of bolts (not shown in the figure) passing through these orifices.
Dans le plan de la paroi, les dimensions de la plaque de revêtement 5 sont égales ou légèrement inférieures aux dimensions correspondantes du panneau rigide délimité par la couche interne 3 de sorte que, lors de la juxtaposition de deux modules le long de leurs rebords 31 respectifs, les plaques de revêtement de ces deux modules viennent en contact ou présentent un léger jeu. Naturellement, lorsque deux modules sont juxtaposés perpendiculairement définissant une arrête entre deux cloison latérales ou entre une cloison latérale et le fond du bassin, l'inclinaison des rebords des modules correspondants est adaptée de sorte que les plaques 5 de revêtement de ces modules soient jointives. Cette inclinaison peut être de 45 degrés sur chaque module, de 0 degré sur un module et de 90 degrés sur l'autre, toute autre répartition intermédiaire entre ces valeurs pouvant également convenir. En référence à la figure 3, les parois 7 formant les cloisons latérales sont de préférence munies de renforts mécaniques pour augmenter la rigidité du bassin. Sont ainsi prévues des ceintures horizontales 71 et des jambes de force verticales 72 (une seule jambe apparaissant sur la figure). Ces renforts sont par exemple réalisés avec le même matériau que celui de 1 'âme 1. De plus, lorsque le bassin présente un volume conséquent, il est souhaitable de prévoir des poutres longitudinales 73 qui sont disposées horizontalement, le long de chaque cloison latérale 7, dans des fentes 75 ménagées dans les jambes de force 72. Ces poutres qui débordent des cloisons, des profilés métalliques en I par exemple, sont fixées entre elles à leurs extrémités pour former des rectangles indéformables qui emprisonnent le bassin et augmentent encore sa rigidité. Lorsque l'assemblage du bassin est terminé, l' étanchéité est assurée par la pose d'un joint approprié au niveau de la liaison des différents modules, entre les plaques de revêtement 5.In the plane of the wall, the dimensions of the covering plate 5 are equal to or slightly less than the corresponding dimensions of the rigid panel delimited by the internal layer 3 so that, when two modules are juxtaposed along their respective edges 31 , the covering plates of these two modules come into contact or have a slight play. Naturally, when two modules are juxtaposed perpendicularly defining a stop between two lateral partitions or between a lateral partition and the bottom of the basin, the inclination of the edges of the corresponding modules is adapted so that the covering plates 5 of these modules are contiguous. This inclination can be 45 degrees on each module, 0 degrees on one module and 90 degrees on the other, any other intermediate distribution between these values may also be suitable. Referring to Figure 3, the walls 7 forming the side partitions are preferably provided with mechanical reinforcements to increase the rigidity of the basin. There are thus provided horizontal belts 71 and vertical struts 72 (a single leg appearing in the figure). These reinforcements are for example made from the same material as that of the core 1. In addition, when the basin has a substantial volume, it is desirable to provide longitudinal beams 73 which are arranged horizontally, along each side wall 7, in slots 75 formed in the struts 72. These beams which overflow partitions, I-shaped metal profiles for example, are fixed together at their ends to form non-deformable rectangles which trap the basin and further increase its rigidity. When the assembly of the basin is finished, the sealing is ensured by the installation of an appropriate joint at the level of the connection of the various modules, between the covering plates 5.
On remarque ici que pour démonter le bassin, il suffit de supprimer ce joint et de désolidariser les différents modules .It is noted here that to dismantle the basin, it suffices to remove this joint and to separate the various modules.
Selon une variante de 1 ' invention représentée à la figure 4, les modules sont agencés d'une manière quelque peu différente, précisément pour améliorer 1 ' étanchéité. Pour un module du fond du bassin qui vient en contact avec un module d'une cloison latérale, la couche interne 3 est conservée plane et c'est au contraire la couche externeAccording to a variant of the invention shown in Figure 4, the modules are arranged somewhat differently, precisely to improve the seal. For a module at the bottom of the basin which comes into contact with a module of a lateral partition, the internal layer 3 is kept flat and it is, on the contrary, the external layer
25 qui est repliée à sa périphérie pour former une bordure25 which is folded at its periphery to form a border
26 en L, cette bordure faisant ici saillie du côté de la couche interne 3. Le L inversé a donc sa grande branche perpendiculaire au plan du module et sa petite branche orientée vers la cloison latérale. Avantageusement, on prévoit de plus tout le long de la bordure une première rainure 27 dont la section est approximativement semi- circulaire.26 in L, this border projecting here from the side of the inner layer 3. The inverted L therefore has its large branch perpendicular to the plane of the module and its small branch oriented towards the side wall. Advantageously, a first groove 27, the cross section of which is approximately semi-circular, is further provided along the edge.
Pour le module correspondant de la cloison latérale, la couche interne 34 n'est pas non plus repliée à sa périphérie mais elle est pourvue d'un epaulement 35 perpendiculaire au plan du module faisant saillie du côté de la couche externe 2. Cet epaulement 35 est en retrait par rapport au bord du module de sorte que lorsqu'il vient en appui sur la petite branche du L de la bordure 26, ce module vienne au contact du module du fond décrit ci-dessus. On prévoit aussi une deuxième rainure 37, identique à la première rainure 27 qui vient se superposer à celle-ci lorsque les deux modules sont en place.For the corresponding module of the side wall, the internal layer 34 is not folded at its periphery either, but it is provided with a shoulder 35 perpendicular to the plane of the module projecting from the side of the external layer 2. This shoulder 35 is set back from the edge of the module so that when it comes in pressing on the small branch of the L of the border 26, this module comes into contact with the bottom module described above. A second groove 37 is also provided, identical to the first groove 27 which is superimposed on the latter when the two modules are in place.
On définit ainsi une section commune entre la couche externe 25 du module du fond et la couche interne 34 du module de la cloison latérale, cette section commune étant délimitée par la base du L. Le joint d' étanchéité est alors posé entre la base du L de la bordure 26 et la partie correspondante du module de la cloison latérale, y compris dans le canal circulaire formé par la juxtaposition des première 27 et deuxième 37 rainures. Ce canal est dimensionné en fonction de l'épaisseur requise du joint.A common section is thus defined between the outer layer 25 of the bottom module and the inner layer 34 of the side wall module, this common section being delimited by the base of the L. The seal is then placed between the base of the L of the edge 26 and the corresponding part of the module of the side wall, including in the circular channel formed by the juxtaposition of the first 27 and second 37 grooves. This channel is sized according to the required thickness of the joint.
Quel que soit le type de module retenu, on remarquera que le bassin peut être démonté et remonté.Whatever the type of module selected, it will be noted that the basin can be dismantled and reassembled.
Par ailleurs, l'invention trouve une application particulièrement avantageuse dans les bassins dits à débordement, bassins dans lesquels l'eau déborde en permanence au sommet des cloisons latérales.Furthermore, the invention finds a particularly advantageous application in so-called overflow basins, basins in which the water permanently overflows at the top of the side partitions.
En référence à la figure 5, les cloisons latérales présentent en leurs sommets une section supérieure qui ne comprend ni l'âme en nid d'abeille l ni la couche externe 2. Une goulotte 8 est fixée à cette section supérieure sur tout le pourtour du bassin. Cette goulotte qui est prévue pour récupérer l'eau de débordement est pourvue d'énables 81 qui sont régulièrement espacés.Referring to Figure 5, the side partitions have at their tops an upper section which includes neither the honeycomb core l nor the outer layer 2. A chute 8 is fixed to this upper section around the entire periphery of the pool. This chute which is intended to recover the overflow water is provided with canopies 81 which are regularly spaced.
Avantageusement, on dispose un profilé 82 sur la bordure commune de la goulotte 8 et de la section supérieure. Ce profilé .est réglable en hauteur pour compenser un éventuel défaut d'horizontalité du bassin. On peut ainsi l'ajuster pour obtenir un débordement homogène sur tout le périmètre du bassin. II peut cependant arriver que la marge de réglage du profilé soit insuffisante pour compenser en totalité le défaut d'horizontalité susmentionné. En effet, si le bassin repose sur une dalle de béton, il arrive fréquemment que cette dalle s'affaisse irrégulièrement au cours du temps.Advantageously, there is a profile 82 on the common edge of the chute 8 and the upper section. This profile is adjustable in height to compensate for a possible lack of horizontality of the basin. It can thus be adjusted to obtain a uniform overflow over the entire perimeter of the basin. However, it may happen that the profile adjustment margin is insufficient to fully compensate for the above-mentioned lack of horizontality. In fact, if the basin rests on a concrete slab, it often happens that this slab sags irregularly over time.
On prévoit alors une plate-forme montée sur des vérins qui reposent sur le sol, le bassin reposant sur cette plateforme.There is then provided a platform mounted on jacks which rest on the ground, the basin resting on this platform.
En référence à la figure 6, les panneaux d'habillage 9 du bassin prennent appui sur les renforts mécaniques des cloisons latérales, sur les jambes de force 72 par exemple. Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ces panneaux présentent une faible inclinaison, de l'ordre de 5 à 10 degrés par rapport à la verticale. Cet agencement assure une position ergonomique aux praticiens de balnéothérapie ou d'hydrothérapie. Pour la même raison, ces panneaux 9 ne descendent pas complètement jusqu'au sol, de sorte que les pieds du praticien puissent s'engager dans l'espace libre 10 ainsi défini.With reference to FIG. 6, the covering panels 9 of the pelvis bear on the mechanical reinforcements of the side partitions, on the struts 72 for example. According to another characteristic of the invention, these panels have a slight inclination, of the order of 5 to 10 degrees relative to the vertical. This arrangement ensures an ergonomic position for practitioners of balneotherapy or hydrotherapy. For the same reason, these panels 9 do not descend completely to the ground, so that the practitioner's feet can engage in the free space 10 thus defined.
De plus, toujours dans le souci d'assurer le confort du praticien, le bassin est équipé sur toute sa périphérie d'une margelle 11 qui surplombe la goulotte pour la protéger et qui permet de prendre appui. Avantageusement, cette margelle qui repose également sur la partie supérieure des panneaux d'habillage est amovible. On facilite ainsi les opérations de nettoyage. Les modes de réalisation du bassin ci-dessus sont donnés à titre d' exemple et 1 ' omme du métier comprend bien que 1 'invention peut être mise en oeuvre de bien des manières différentes, ne serait ce qu'en remplaçant un moyen par un moyen équivalent. In addition, still with the aim of ensuring the comfort of the practitioner, the pelvis is equipped over its entire periphery with a coping 11 which overhangs the chute to protect it and which makes it possible to take support. Advantageously, this coping which also rests on the upper part of the covering panels is removable. This facilitates cleaning operations. The embodiments of the above basin are given by way of example and one skilled in the art understands that the invention can be implemented in many different ways, if only by replacing a means with a equivalent means.
