Definitions
- the present invention relates to a profile intended for the construction of a floor for a basin, and which is liable to float or to be submerged, the profile being provided with at least one internal recess passing through it longitudinally and which is intended to serve as ballast, the profile having a first end and a second end closed by a first end piece and a second end piece respectively provided with connection means through which the profile can be filled or drained.
- a floor commonly called floating floor, is intended to cover, during periods of non-use, the surface of the water contained in a swimming pool to mainly prevent the risk of drowning and reduce the heat loss of the water vis-à-vis screw from the outside and which can be submerged to allow normal use of said pool.
- Such a floor consists, for example, of hollow profiles, made of plastic and joined laterally and which are filled with water to immerse or that are filled with air to emerge.
- the ends on the same side of the profiles are connected to each other by means of a manifold which is itself connected to a first pipe connected to a suction / discharge type pump of a water filtration unit of the swimming pool. This pump is connected to a second pipe, the free end of which is immersed in the pool water.
- the ends of the profiles located on the opposite side are connected to each other by means of another manifold which is itself connected to a third pipe, the free end of which opens above the water level.
- the pump To immerse the floor on the surface of the water, the pump is started in a first so-called suction position where it sucks water from the pool and discharges it into the profiles which then fill up. During this operation, water gradually fills the profiles. It happens that during this operation, the water introduced into the profiles, seeking to occupy a volume located at the lowest, moves on the same side of the profiles, so that one end of the profiles then sinks first, while the other end lifts by reaction and comes out of the water, which causes the floor to tip over. This situation can be tricky because the tip of the floor emerges most of the time to slide on a ledge of the pool and the floor does not descend properly.
- the object of the invention is therefore to propose in particular a profile for a floating floor of a basin such as a swimming pool, the profile being designed so that the floating floor can move parallel to the surface of the liquid during the operations. immersion and emersion of said floor.

- the water admitted into the profile enters it through its lower part and the expelled air leaves through its upper part, so that it can almost be completely filled with water before another profile connected downstream can start to be filled. Conversely, when the profile is emptied, the water is evacuated through its lower part, so that it can almost be completely emptied of its water as soon as the other profile is emptied and it only lets in the air in said profile.
- a floating floor constructed with such profiles thus moves while maintaining a horizontal attitude during its immersion or emersion movement in the basin.
- the profile internally comprises an upper duct and a lower duct arranged on either side of the internal recess and which are respectively connected to said internal recess by passages, the channels being connected respectively with the upper and lower conduits.

- the tips 250a and 250b are positioned being offset by an angle of 180 °.
- FIG. 18 a floating floor 100 made up of several groups G1-G4 incorporating such profiles 200 '".
- Figs. 18, 19a and 19b it will be noted the presence of a supply and drain manifold 600 connected between the third conduits 240 (visible only in Figs. 19a and 19b) of the 200 '"profiles and the filtration unit.
- This supply and purge manifold 600 is intended, during the operation of the pump P, to continuously draw water from the swimming pool in order, on the one hand, to circulate it in said conduits 240 in order to heat it when the floating floor 100 is exposed to sunshine and, on the other hand, push it back into the pool where it can mix with the water it contains, thereby heating it up.
- Two additional valves V visible in Figs. 19a and 19b, are incorporated respectively between the collectors 600 and 400 and the line of bypass D to separately connect the circuit for heating the water by solar radiation and the ballast circuit for the floating floor 100.
- the manifold connection valve V 600 is open while the manifold valve V 400 is closed.
- Fig. 19a and 19b the manifold connection valve V 600 is open while the manifold valve V 400 is closed.
- valves 19a and 19b the other valves are positioned so that the water heating circuit can be supplied continuously by the pump P, while in FIG. 19b, these valves are positioned so that the water heating circuit can be purged of the water that it is likely to contain.
- another venting manifold 500 ′ is connected to the third conduit 240 to dissociate the ballast circuit from the floating floor 100 from the water reheat circuit.
- the floating floor incorporating this variant embodiment of the profiles makes it possible, by using the covered surface of the swimming pool, to capture the solar radiation to heat the water that it contains.
