Specifically, it is an element to be incorporated in the filtration system commonly included in swimming pools of this type on the market, in order to have an option for suctioning. This new element is affixed to the wall of the swimming pool by suction of the pump and is automatically detached from the wall when the filter of the coupler is saturated, achieving safe suctioning with the same speed and quality as the systems included in concrete swimming pools, at a much lower cost and using the entire suction flow for efficient suctioning.

Description

ACOPLADOR Y FILTRO PARA LA LIMPIEZA DE PISCINAS COUPLER AND FILTER FOR POOL CLEANING
La presente solicitud corresponde a un dispositivo para el aspirado de partículas gruesas y finas, -acoplador en adelante-, del fondo de las piscinas plásticas sobrepuestas de uso doméstico, sin perjuicio de su utilización en otro tipo piscinas, tales como cemento, fibra u otro material, aun tinajas, jacuzzis o similares. Específicamente, se trata de un elemento a incorporar en el sistema de filtrado comúnmente incluido en ese tipo de piscinas en el mercado, para lograr una opción de aspiración. Dicho nuevo elemento se pega a la pared de la piscina mediante succión de la bomba y se desconecta automáticamente de la pared al saturarse el filtro del acoplador, logrando un aspirado seguro y de igual rapidez y calidad que los sistemas incluidos en las piscinas de cemento, a un costo mucho menor, y utilizando todo el caudal de succión para un aspirado eficiente. This application corresponds to a device for the suction of coarse and fine particles, -hereinafter coupler-, from the bottom of the plastic above-ground swimming pools for domestic use, without prejudice to its use in other types of swimming pools, such as cement, fiber or other material, even jars, jacuzzis or the like. Specifically, it is an element to be incorporated into the filtering system commonly included in this type of pool on the market, to achieve an aspiration option. Said new element is attached to the wall of the pool by suction from the pump and is automatically disconnected from the wall when the filter of the coupler is saturated, achieving a safe vacuum with the same speed and quality as the systems included in cement pools. at a much lower cost, and using the full suction flow for efficient vacuuming.
ESTADO DE LA TÉCNICA STATE OF THE ART
En la actualidad las piscinas de uso doméstico construidas en estructuras de cemento o fibra enterradas o semienterradas tienen un sistema de limpieza que incluye filtro, motor, bomba de agua, mangueras, centro de mando eléctrico y centro de control del modo de utilización, que permite seleccionar filtrado, circulación, aspiración u otros. Este sistema se conecta a través de ductos al sumidero, ubicado en el piso y a los denominados skimmers, ubicados en las paredes de la piscina, con los cuales se logra el aspirado y circulación completa del agua, desde la piscina al sistema de filtrado permitiendo de ese modo mantener el agua siempre limpia. Este sistema es posible ya que al ser la piscina de material rígido, el sumidero ubicado en el piso puede instalarse con un riesgo mínimo de rotura y por ende de fuga de agua. Por otra parte, al estar ubicado el sumidero en el fondo de la piscina, la gravedad colabora a la circulación del agua reduciendo de ese modo la potencia que de otra forma sería necesaria para producir el movimiento necesario para que a través de la circulación pueda pasar toda el agua por el filtro. Currently, swimming pools for domestic use built on buried or semi-buried cement or fiber structures have a cleaning system that includes a filter, motor, water pump, hoses, electrical control center and a control center for the mode of use, which allows select filtering, circulation, aspiration or others. This system is connected through ducts to the drain, located on the floor, and to the so-called skimmers, located on the pool walls, with which the complete suction and circulation of the water is achieved, from the pool to the filtering system, allowing That way keep the water always clean. This system is possible since the pool is made of rigid material, the drain located on the floor can be installed with a minimum risk of breakage and therefore of water leakage. On the other hand, since the drain is located at the bottom of the pool, gravity contributes to the circulation of the water, thus reducing the power that would otherwise be necessary to produce the necessary movement so that it can pass through the circulation. all the water through the filter.
El sistema anteriormente descrito no resulta factible en las piscinas sobrepuestas, sean infiables o construidas con un armazón de fierro o plástico rígido que soporta y da forma a una carpeta plástica que conforma la piscina en sus muros y piso. A menudo, para la mantención del agua, estas piscinas traen incluido un sistema de filtrado que incluye una bomba o motor, que a su vez generalmente incluye un filtro de papel removible, una unidad de mando eléctrico, mangueras de conexión y llaves de corte en la unión con la piscina. Sin embargo, este sistema sólo proporciona un limpiado parcial, ya que al carecer de sumidero por la fragilidad del material con la cual se encuentra construido, se dificulta el limpiado del piso o fondo de la piscina. Consecuencia de esta carencia, a pesar del funcionamiento de la bomba, el fondo de la piscina se termina llenando de desechos que no alcanzan a pasar por la cabeza de succión del agua o skimmer, teniendo en muchas ocasiones que cambiarse completamente el agua, trayendo consigo una merma económica para el propietario y desperdiciando un recurso cada vez más escaso. The previously described system is not feasible in superimposed pools, whether they are unreliable or built with an iron or rigid plastic frame that supports and shapes a plastic folder that makes up the pool on its walls and floor. Often, for the maintenance of the water, these pools include a filter system that includes a pump or motor, which in turn generally includes a removable paper filter, an electrical control unit, connection hoses and shut-off keys in the union with the swimming pool. However, this system only provides partial cleaning, since it lacks a drain due to the fragility of the material with which it is built, making it difficult to clean the floor or bottom of the pool. As a consequence of this lack, despite the operation of the pump, the bottom of the pool ends up filling with debris that does not reach the water suction head or skimmer, often having to completely change the water, bringing with it an economic loss for the owner and wasting an increasingly scarce resource.
A fin de solucionar este problema, en el mercado se ofrecen diferentes aspiradoras de fondo de piscina, ya sea de tipo robot, que son automáticas en su operación, y otras de uso manual, tales como aspiradoras eléctricas o sistemas con propulsión de agua o vacío. En estos casos estos accesorios tienen distintos niveles de eficacia, cuyos valores muchas veces no se condicen con el de la piscina, pudiendo fácilmente llegar a ser tanto o más caros que esta última. Por otra parte, las aspiradoras de fondo de piscina requieren conexiones eléctricas adicionales, que importan un riesgo inherente a su utilización aún en condiciones normales. También están los sistemas de aspiración por vacío que utilizan una manguera de jardín con un caudal apropiado o la impulsión del agua del motor de filtrado, haciendo pasar el agua impulsada por un sistema de curvas que generan un vacío, que a su vez provoca succión, lo que es muy ineficiente, pues sólo recogen partículas semigruesas y levantan mucho polvo cuando se utilizan. Todos los sistemas alternativos como aspiradoras eléctricas y los que funcionan por vacío son muy lentos. La operación y funcionamiento del acoplador sólo es comparable con los sistemas profesionales que usan las piscinas de cemento. In order to solve this problem, different pool bottom vacuum cleaners are offered on the market, either of the robot type, which are automatic in their operation, and others for manual use, such as electric vacuum cleaners or systems with water or vacuum propulsion. . In these cases, these accessories have different levels of efficiency, whose values are often not consistent with that of the pool, and can easily become as much or more. expensive than the latter. On the other hand, pool bottom vacuum cleaners require additional electrical connections, which pose an inherent risk to their use even under normal conditions. There are also vacuum suction systems that use a garden hose with an appropriate flow rate or the drive of the water from the filtering motor, passing the water through a system of curves that generate a vacuum, which in turn causes suction, which is very inefficient, since they only collect semi-coarse particles and raise a lot of dust when used. All alternative systems such as electric vacuum cleaners and those that work by vacuum are very slow. The operation and functioning of the coupler is only comparable with the professional systems used by cement pools.
Para resolver este problema se ha diseñado este acoplador de bajo costo, cuyo cuerpo se adosa a la pared de la piscina y se utiliza con el mismo sistema de limpieza que traen incluido las piscinas plásticas. To solve this problem, this low-cost coupler has been designed, whose body is attached to the pool wall and is used with the same cleaning system that plastic pools include.
Este dispositivo se conecta a la cabeza de succión de agua o skimmer, manteniéndose adherido a este último gracias a la succión que proviene desde la bomba y que dicho elemento canaliza. Para que la succión se mantenga y transmita a la manguera, es necesario que toda la cabeza de succión quede al interior del acoplador. En la boquilla de succión, que se encuentra al otro extremo del acoplador, se conecta fácilmente, por presión o enganche, una manguera que debe ser cebada previo a su unión al acoplador, para luego poder filtrar el fondo de la piscina con cualquier tipo de cepillo o rodillo existente en el mercado. This device is connected to the water suction head or skimmer, remaining attached to the latter thanks to the suction that comes from the pump and that said element channels. In order for the suction to be maintained and transmitted to the hose, it is necessary that the entire suction head is inside the coupler. In the suction nozzle, which is located at the other end of the coupler, a hose is easily connected, by pressure or hooking, which must be primed prior to being attached to the coupler, in order to then be able to filter the bottom of the pool with any type of filter. brush or roller existing in the market.
En la parte más ancha del interior del acoplador se instala un filtro de plástico que tiene por objeto retener las partículas más grandes, a fin de evitar saturar el filtro incorporado en el motor de la bomba y dañar sus álabes o paletas; todo ello con objeto de evitar mantenciones más difíciles y alargar la vida útil del sistema en su conjunto. El filtro va ensamblado al acoplador mediante un sistema de sujeción mediante giro de cinco grados y topes, para que al momento de retirarlo no caigan nuevamente dentro de la piscina las suciedades que quedan atrapadas por el filtro dentro del acoplador. In the widest part of the interior of the coupler, a plastic filter is installed with the purpose of retaining the largest particles, in order to avoid saturating the filter incorporated in the pump motor and damaging its blades or vanes; all this in order to avoid more difficult maintenance and extend the useful life of the system as a whole. The filter is assembled to the coupler by means of a fastening system by means of a five-degree turn and stops, so that when removing it the dirt that is trapped by the filter inside the coupler does not fall back into the pool.
Al estar conectado a la pared de la piscina por medio de succión permite la desconexión automática del acoplador cuando este se satura, cuidando la bomba de impulsión y evitando que esta trabaje forzada. Being connected to the wall of the pool by means of suction, it allows the automatic disconnection of the coupler when it becomes saturated, taking care of the drive pump and preventing it from working forced.
La mayor ventaja de este dispositivo está asociada a su pequeño tamaño y reducido costo en relación a cualquier otro sistema de aspirado para este tipo de piscina existente en el mercado, pudiendo ser instalado en cualquier piscina que posea un sistema de bomba de circulación de agua, sin agregar una carga adicional excesiva para funcionamiento del motor de la bomba. En efecto, sin considerar los robots aspiradores de fondo de piscina, hoy en día el mercado se ofrecen otros sistemas de aspirado de fondo de piscina, que se acoplan también a la bomba de filtración con arena u otro material. Sin embargo, estos sistemas están compuestos de un conjunto de cañerías que requieren intervenir el sistema de filtrado, tanto como para su instalación o desinstalación, lo que resulta más lento y engorroso y sobretodo posibilita el daño a largo plazo del skimmer por el simple efecto de adhesión y remoción continuas en cada ocasión que se quiera utilizar para limpiar el fondo de la piscina. Estos sistemas, además, poseen la desventaja de requerir un espacio adicional para ser ubicados al momento de su uso, que no siempre será habido. The greatest advantage of this device is associated with its small size and low cost compared to any other suction system for this type of pool on the market, and it can be installed in any pool that has a water circulation pump system. without adding excessive additional load to pump motor operation. In effect, without considering the robot vacuum cleaners at the bottom of the pool, today the market offers other systems for vacuuming the bottom of the pool, which are also coupled to the filtration pump with sand or other material. However, these systems are made up of a set of pipes that require intervention in the filtering system, both for its installation or uninstallation, which is slower and more cumbersome and, above all, allows long-term damage to the skimmer due to the simple effect of continuous adhesion and removal each time you want to use it to clean the bottom from the pool. These systems also have the disadvantage of requiring additional space to be located at the time of use, which will not always be available.
Otra ventaja de este sistema, frente a otros de filtrado por bomba autónoma, es que al comprenderse en un dispositivo que se acopla por simple succión al sistema ya existente, no requiere ningún tipo de modificación ulterior, permitiendo su uso en las mismas condiciones que el consumidor tuvo presente al adquirir la piscina, sin tener que incurrir en modificaciones adicionales al sistema, ni tampoco de extensiones eléctricas adicionales a las que se tuvieron en consideración al momento de instalar la piscina, y así obtener un consecuente ahorro de energía eléctrica mediante el funcionamiento por menor tiempo del equipo de filtrado. Another advantage of this system, compared to others with autonomous pump filtration, is that as it is comprised of a device that is coupled to the existing system by simple suction, it does not require any type of subsequent modification, allowing its use under the same conditions as the consumer had in mind when purchasing the pool, without having to incur in additional modifications to the system, nor additional electrical extensions to those that were taken into consideration when installing the pool, and thus obtain a consequent saving of electrical energy through the operation due to less filtering equipment time.

DESCRIPCIÓN DETALLADA DE LA INVENCIÓN DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El acoplador está compuesto en su totalidad de plástico con un espesor de 1,5 mm, que en su parte más ancha alcanza una apertura de 13 a 30 centímetros de diámetro para los distintos modelos y en la otra una apertura de 4 centímetros de diámetro, pudiendo ser recta esta última y de la medida de la manguera a utilizar, también se le pueden instalar acoples plásticos para una mejor sujeción de los acoples. Por este circula el agua desde el extremo más chico al más grande lo cual hace que el acoplador se mantenga adherido a la muralla o cara lateral de la piscina mientras el motor de la bomba se encuentra en funcionamiento, gracias al efecto de succión que se produce, los motores que traen las piscinas son de la suficiente potencia para mantener todo unido gracias a la succión del motor. The coupler is made entirely of plastic with a thickness of 1.5 mm, which in its widest part reaches an opening of 13 to 30 centimeters in diameter for the different models and in the other an opening of 4 centimeters in diameter, the latter can be straight and according to the size of the hose to be used, plastic couplings can also be installed to better hold the couplings. The water circulates through this from the smallest to the largest end, which means that the coupler remains attached to the wall or side face of the pool while the pump motor is running, thanks to the suction effect that is produced. , the motors that bring the pools are powerful enough to keep everything together thanks to the suction of the motor.
En el interior del cuerpo se inserta un filtro plástico el cual se asegura al cuerpo del acoplador mediante sujeción mecánica por ensamblaje tipo rosca con giro de 5o, las cuales mantienen el filtro unido al cuerpo del acoplador sin la necesidad de la presión de la bomba. El filtro retiene las partículas más grandes como hojas, ramitas, insectos, micro algas que se acumulan con el paso del tiempo y el polvo pasa hasta el filtro de papel que traen incluidos los sistemas de filtrado. El filtro es removible lo que permite su vaciado y limpiado, obteniendo un mejor funcionamiento durante el proceso de aspirado. Al extremo delgado del acoplador se conecta una manguera con la cual se aspira manualmente el fondo de la piscina, haciendo funcionar el motor de la bomba, habiéndose previamente saturado de agua, para eliminar burbujas de aire al interior del sistema que impidan su funcionamiento. A la manguera se le puede incorporar cualquier tipo de cepillo de aspirado de fondo de piscina que existe en el mercado con o sin pértiga de alargue. A plastic filter is inserted inside the body, which is secured to the body of the coupler by means of mechanical fastening by thread-type assembly with a turn of 5 o , which keep the filter attached to the body of the coupler without the need for pump pressure. . The filter retains the largest particles such as leaves, twigs, insects, micro algae that accumulate over time and dust passes through the included paper filter filter systems. The filter is removable, which allows it to be emptied and cleaned, obtaining better performance during the vacuuming process. A hose is connected to the thin end of the coupler, with which the bottom of the pool is manually sucked, making the pump motor work, having previously been saturated with water, to eliminate air bubbles inside the system that prevent its operation. Any type of pool bottom vacuum brush that exists on the market with or without extension pole can be incorporated into the hose.
