Description

DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION
Sistema de gestión de piscinas SECTOR DE LA TÉCNICA Pool management system TECHNICAL SECTOR
La presente solicitud se refiere a un sistema de gestión de piscinas, que permite realizar una gestión, depuración y vigilancia del estado de toda una serie de piscinas y equipamientos acuáticos similares desde una centralita, que puede incluso estar incorporada a un dispositivo electrónico como un teléfono móvil. This application refers to a swimming pool management system, which allows management, debugging and monitoring of the status of a whole series of swimming pools and similar aquatic equipment from a switchboard, which can even be incorporated into an electronic device such as a telephone. mobile.
ESTADO DE LA TÉCNICA STATE OF THE ART
Se conoce en el estado de la técnica la existencia de depuradoras de piscinas que incluyen toda una serie de elementos de limpieza y para mover el agua (bombas, filtros, válvulas...). Se conoce también la existencia de sensores asociados a estas depuradoras para la vigilancia de la salubridad del agua y el riesgo sanitario para los usuarios. It is known in the state of the art the existence of pool purifiers that include a whole series of elements for cleaning and for moving the water (pumps, filters, valves...). The existence of sensors associated with these treatment plants for monitoring the healthiness of the water and the health risk for users is also known.
En el caso de equipamientos acuáticos como toboganes de agua, zonas de barcas... en parques acuáticos, ferias y otras instalaciones, también es necesario depurar el agua para evitar el consumo excesivo que implicaría desecharla. In the case of aquatic equipment such as water slides, boat areas... in water parks, fairs and other facilities, it is also necessary to purify the water to avoid excessive consumption that would imply discarding it.
Sin embargo, la depuración debe ser vigilada y programada en la propia depuradora, por lo que es difícil realizar un seguimiento adecuado, y además no es posible reaccionar de forma suficientemente rápida a cualquier riesgo o situación indeseada. However, the treatment must be monitored and programmed in the treatment plant itself, so it is difficult to carry out an adequate follow-up, and it is also not possible to react quickly enough to any risk or undesired situation.
El solicitante no conoce ningún sistema que permita resolver todos estos problemas. The Applicant is not aware of any system that allows all these problems to be solved.

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LAS FIGURAS DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
Para una mejor comprensión de la invención, se incluyen la siguiente figura. Figura 1: Esquema de un ejemplo preferido de realización. For a better understanding of the invention, the following figure is included. Figure 1: Diagram of a preferred embodiment.
MODOS DE REALIZACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN MODES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
A continuación, se pasa a describir de manera breve un modo de realización de la invención, como ejemplo ilustrativo y no limitativo de ésta. En la figura 1 se muestra un ejemplo de realización esquemático en el que dos piscinas (1) poseen sendas depuradoras (2). Cada depuradora (2) comprende una serie de válvulas (3), incluyendo generalmente una de tres vías, un filtro (4), una bomba (5), etc. Las válvulas (3) están conectadas a motores o actuadores eléctricos o electrónicos. Next, an embodiment of the invention is briefly described, as an illustrative and non-limiting example of the latter. Figure 1 shows a schematic example of embodiment in which two pools (1) have treatment paths (2). Each purifier (2) comprises a series of valves (3), generally including a three-way valve, a filter (4), a pump (5), etc. The valves (3) are connected to electric or electronic motors or actuators.
Cada depuradora (2) comprende también un número de sensores (6), como pueden ser del pH, de la turbidez o temperatura del agua y manómetros de las principales tuberías de la depuradora. Este tipo de sensores (6) puede ser de cualquier tipo habitual en piscinas (1) e instalaciones lúdicas acuáticas similares (parques acuáticos, atracciones de feria con agua...). Each treatment plant (2) also comprises a number of sensors (6), such as pH, turbidity or temperature of the water and pressure gauges of the main pipes of the treatment plant. This type of sensors (6) can be of any usual type in swimming pools (1) and similar aquatic leisure facilities (water parks, fairground attractions with water...).
Una centralita (7) recibe las señales de los sensores (6) y envía órdenes a los elementos (bomba (5), válvulas (3), etc.) para modificar la circulación del agua de la piscina o instalación. Esta centralita (7) comprende un equipo de comunicación (8), integrado o como complemento externo. El equipo de comunicación (8) está configurado para conectarse con un servidor (9) externo. Esta conexión puede ser por vía cableada, pero generalmente será por vía inalámbrica, ya sea directa (tarjeta SIM...) o a través de una red inalámbrica (WiFi, Bluetooth...) y un enrutador o similar del edificio, el parque... A control unit (7) receives the signals from the sensors (6) and sends orders to the elements (pump (5), valves (3), etc.) to modify the circulation of the water in the pool or installation. This switchboard (7) comprises a communication unit (8), integrated or as an external complement. The communication equipment (8) is configured to connect with an external server (9). This connection can be wired, but generally it will be wireless, either directly (SIM card...) or through a wireless network (WiFi, Bluetooth...) and a router or similar in the building, the park. ..
Si la depuradora (2) comprende dosificadores de productos químicos, estos dosificadores también están conectados a la centralita (7). If the treatment plant (2) includes chemical product dispensers, these dispensers are also connected to the control unit (7).
El usuario que desee gestionar las piscinas (1) y sus depuradoras (2) se conecta al servidor (9) desde un ordenador o un dispositivo electrónico, como puede ser una tableta (IPad o similar), un teléfono móvil inteligente... The user who wants to manage the pools (1) and their treatment plants (2) connects to the server (9) from a computer or an electronic device, such as a tablet (IPad or similar), a smart mobile phone...
El dispositivo electrónico poseerá una aplicación adecuada, en la que se puede gestionar cualquiera de las piscinas o instalaciones acuáticas, identificando cada una, mostrando los resultados de los sensores (6) (en continuo o renovándose con la frecuencia correspondiente), el estado de las válvulas (3), bombas (5), filtros (4) y demás elementos. El usuario así podrá modificar el estado, programar la depuración del agua, la limpieza de los filtros (4) o cualquier operación que actualmente se realiza de forma manual. The electronic device will have a suitable application, in which any of the swimming pools or aquatic facilities can be managed, identifying each one, showing the results of the sensors (6) (continuously or renewed with the corresponding frequency), the status of the valves (3), pumps (5), filters (4) and other elements. The user can thus modify the status, program water purification, filter cleaning (4) or any operation that is currently carried out manually.
La centralita (7) además puede enviar alertas al servidor (9), para que se remita a cualquier usuario, cuando las condiciones están fuera de un margen programado, se detecte una avería, etc. The switchboard (7) can also send alerts to the server (9), so that it can be forwarded to any user, when the conditions are outside a programmed range, a fault is detected, etc.
El sistema puede también gestionar otros elementos como luces, limpiafondos automáticos, chorros decorativos... según el tipo de instalación acuática que gestiona. The system can also manage other elements such as lights, automatic pool cleaners, decorative jets... depending on the type of aquatic installation it manages.
