Abstract

A bath with a hydro massage and/or air massage system, comprising jets placed on the inner wall of the bath, connected by means of individual branches to at least one piping circuit, fitted with an operating valves and connected to a pump. The operating valve is of a multiway design, equipped with electrical and/or electronic control, connected at least to two pipe branches.

Description

A bath with a hydro massage and/or air massage system Technical field
The technical solution relates to a bath with a hydro massage and/or air massage system, comprising jets placed on the inner wall of the bath, connected by means of individual branches to at least one piping circuit, equipped with an operating valve and connected to a pump.
State of the art
The state of the art includes bath with a hydro massage and/or air massage system. These baths are equipped with jets located on the inner wall of the bath. The jets are connected by means of individual branches to at least one piping circuit, equipped with an operating valve and connected to a pump.
The disadvantage of these baths is that all jets connected to a single circuit have the same flow rate. If variable flow rate is needed in the different jets, the bathtubs are fitted with a number of separate valves. These solutions are complicated in design, have a large footprint and are very unclear for users.
Summary of the technical solution To a large extent, the disadvantages mentioned above are eliminated by a bath with a hydro massage and/or air massage system, comprising jets placed on the inner wall of the bath, connected by means of individual branches to at least one piping circuit, equipped with an operating valve and connected to a pump, as stipulated in this technical solution. Its essence is that the operating valve is of a multiway design, with electrical and/or electronic control, connected at least to two pipe branches.
The electrical and/or electronic control is beneficially equipped with a control unit that can incorporate a memory.
The operating valve advantageously comprises a slide valve, a circular valve and/or a sequential valve.
A bath with a hydro massage and/or air massage system, equipped with an operating valve as specified in this technical solution, makes it possible to provide zone massage, i.e. gradual body massage, which helps tend to the user's lymphatic system. The massage can be adjusted to target a specific site with the required intensity. It is also possible to accelerate or slow down the massage in time.
Control is possible using simple electrical and/or electronic control using a button, switch, joystick and so on. Electrical control can incorporate a control unit, allowing to pre-programme a specific . massage procedure. If the control unit incorporates a memory, it is possible to adjust the massage repeatedly for different users.
The operating valve comprises a commonly available slide valve, a circular valve and/or a sequential valve. The mounting of this valve is easy technically as well as technologically, which is suitable because there is a limited space under the hydro massage bath. The use of this solution does not in any way preclude the mounting of other peripherals to the bath, such as an air system, heating, disinfection and so on. Description of the preferred embodiment
The embodiment of a bath with a hydro massage and air massage system is equipped with jets on its inner wall. The jets are connected to four piping circuits by means of individual branches. The piping circuits are fitted with an operating valve and are connected to a pump. The operating valve is a sequential multiway valve, equipped with electronic control. Electronic control is equipped with a control unit with a memory.
A bath with a hydro massage and air massage system, equipped with an operating valve as specified in this technical solution, makes it possible to provide zone massage, i.e. gradual body massage, which helps tend to the user's lymphatic system. The massage can be adjusted to target a specific site with the required intensity. It is also possible to accelerate or slow down the massage in time. Control is provided by simple electronic control using a joystick. Electrical control incorporates a control unit, allowing to pre-programme a specific massage procedure. The control unit memory is used to set a massage repeatedly for different users. The bath is complemented with heating, lighting, disinfection and filters.
Industrial use
A bath with a hydro massage and/or air massage system as specified in this technical solution can be used in households, spas, hotels and so on.
