DESCRIPTION

HOUSE FOR POOL TREATMENT

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a house for a pool treatment plant, which is part of the industry sector dedicated to the manufacture of accessories and installations for swimming pools, focusing particularly on the field of technical premises or treatment rooms.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Pool water needs to be treated and filtered to prevent deterioration. This action is carried out by a purification equipment, basically composed of a water pump that sucks the water from the pool and circulates it through a filter that retains the dirt particles, returning it back to the pool.

These elements are housed, along with other complementary elements (electrical switchgear, keys, selector valve), within an enclosure provided for this purpose, which is normally a manhole or shed that is installed buried in an appropriate place near the vessel of the pool; the water coming from the pool reaching it through suction pipes from the inlets of the bottom drain, pool cleaners, skimmers of the pool basin, or compensation basin, and being recirculated -after purification- back to the basin through of the impulse pipes and impellers.

This type of buried treatment house has several drawbacks:

-Being buried, they run the risk of flooding if any conduit or hydraulic element breaks inside; It should not be forgotten that these booths house both hydraulic and electrical elements (some of them of high economic cost) that in contact with water can be damaged as well as short-circuited, with the consequent risk of electrocution for the user.

-Because they are buried, these huts pose the risk of falling inside, and as they are protected by a lid that opens by pivoting on two hinges on one of its sides, there is a risk of accident due to falling on the user.

-They have uncomfortable access to the elements inside, since when they are buried, in order to access the equipment or manipulate the keys that are inside, the user has to kneel and adopt uncomfortable postures.

-They are usually made of fiber, polyester or PVC. These materials are not thermal insulators and do not prevent the interior of the shed from reaching high temperatures in summer that shorten the useful life of the equipment and components of the treatment plant. In addition, they also favor the appearance of water condensation inside, which deteriorates the metal parts and electrical elements.

-It is common for a treatment plant to expand or modify over time to implement improvements in its system, coupling other types of accessories or supplementary equipment, such as automatic chlorine dosing devices, pH control and regulation equipment, pool water heater, etc., which usually requires the creation of additional outlets in the walls of the shed to be able to make the electrical and hydraulic connections of the equipment to be installed. This type of intervention is usually costly, since being underground it is necessary to break the flooring to be able to carry them out or even have to remove them from their location due to lack of accessibility.

-Being buried and received in the ground, its location cannot be modified without previously disassembling the elements that it houses inside to carry out their extraction, being able to deform and even break in the works of extraction of the shed.

On the other hand, and as a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, at least on the part of the applicant, the existence of any other treatment house for swimming pools that presents technical, structural and constitutive characteristics similar to those is unknown. present in this invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The shed of the invention has a configuration that comprises a prismatic envelope materialized in sandwich panels, in which envelope are arranged:

-a first step, to access the electrical connection,

-a second step, to access a first filling water line,

-a third pass, for a second impulsion conduit (towards the bowl impellers), -a fourth passages for a third suction pipes (typically those of cleaners, bottom and skimmers, and / or compensation vessel, if applicable);

-and where in one or more of said steps the corresponding conduits are pre-assembled internally in the envelope, which are finished externally to the envelope in respective intakes (ideally made of PVC), for connection of the external pipes corresponding to said conduits, that allows a quick and easy connection, both of the purification system that is installed inside the purification house and the system of pipes of the recirculation circuit that communicate the pool with the purification house, as well as the implementation of the electrical supply connection, the supply of mains water to fill the pool, and future complementary equipment.

In this way, a house for a treatment plant that can be located on the ground (not buried) is obtained, quickly and economically, which was the initially sought advantage to avoid water accumulations in case of pipe or equipment breakage, and avoid risks of electrocution or moisture damage; and that also has the following advantages:

-Better accessibility and ease of handling of all the elements housed in the shed, and less risk of falls due to access holes on the pavement.

-Improvement of insulation due to the material in which it is built, which prevents overheating due to solar incidence.

-Thanks to the materials used, the envelope itself is structural, that is, it supports the weight of itself and of the elements mounted on its walls without the need for additional structural elements.

-Improves the safety and protection of the user and the electrical equipment installed inside.

-Simplifies the connections with the pipes coming from the recirculation circuit of the pool, water supply and electrical network, without the need to act on the structure of the house or modify it,

-Avoid or minimize the assembly of on-site installations, as it can come with a complete pre-installation of pipes and shut-off valves, and electrical installation, with which it is only necessary to connect the pump and filter, the external impulsion and suction pipes and connect to the electrical connection.

-It is prepared for future connections of complementary equipment inside without having to modify the existing hydraulic system inside the treatment house, as it can be equipped as standard with a hydraulic By-pass.

DESCRIPTION OF A PRACTICAL EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The house (1) for the pool treatment plant of the invention comprises a prismatic enclosure (2) (see fig. 1) materialized in sandwich panels, in which enclosure (2) are arranged (see figs. 2 and 3):

-a first step (101), to access the electrical connection,

-a second passage (102), for access to a first filling water line (11), -a third passage (103) for a second impulsion line (12),

- fourth passages (104) for third suction pipes (13);

-and where in one or more of said passages (101, 102, 103, 104) the corresponding conduits (11, 12, 13) are internally pre-assembled in the casing, which are finished externally to the casing in respective intakes (3 ) for connection of the external pipes corresponding to said pipes (11, 12, 13).

Preferably, the sandwich panels are made of 0.4 mm thick lacquered steel sheet on their internal and external faces, and an intermediate polyurethane insulation with a thickness between 4 cm and 8 cm. It should be noted that this type of concrete panel is commonly used in the construction sector for the realization of large structures such as enclosures of industrial buildings and sports centers, so this material gives the house structural and thermal insulating qualities / exceptional acoustics compared to buried treatment plants, or any other technical premises made of materials such as polyester, PVC, plastic, etc. For example also The panels can be made of PVC sheet from 2 millimeters to 5 millimeters thick on their internal and external faces, also with intermediate polyurethane insulation with a thickness between 4 cm and 8 cm.

Furthermore, some or all of the panels' sheets may comprise stiffening reliefs (40) (see fig. 1), which improve the rigidity and solidity of the envelope (2).

A very preferred variant contemplates that one or more of the pre-assembled inner pipes (11, 12, 13) (see fig. 3) comprise cut-off keys (4), so that these keys simply have to be coupled on the free sides cut the minimum remaining pipes, typically those that communicate with the selector valve and with the filter outlet.

Most preferably (see fig. 3), in the third step (103) the second impulsion conduit (12) can be pre-assembled, which can then be already connected to a bypass (5) configured by two independent tubes (50 ), each one provided with an end cut-off key (4), and a connecting branch (51) between both independent tubes (50) also provided with a cut-off key (4), so that in one of the independent tubes (50) the filter outlet will be connected and in the other additional elements can be connected in case of extensions, immediately.

In the same way, in the second step (102) the first filling water conduit (11) can be pre-assembled, provided with a shut-off valve (4), and whose end would be connected, where appropriate, to one of the the independent tubes (50) of the bypass (5).

Likewise, it can preferably comprise three fourth passages (104) for the third suction pipes (13) from the bottom, skimmers and pool cleaner intake, each with its corresponding cut-off key (4), being joined behind said stopcocks. cut (4) in a single manifold (6) for a single connection to the inlet of the selector valve of the purifier. Additionally, it may comprise a fifth passage (105) for an emptying line for the pool.

It is preferred that the envelope (2) comprises (continue with fig. 3):

-a square horizontal base (20),

-a vertical square bottom (21),

-square side walls (22),

-square front doors (23), and

-a quadrangular upper cover (24);

-the doors (23) being connected to the side walls (22) and the cover (24) to the bottom (21) by means of joints (25) (see figs. 1 and 2). In this way, a simple set is achieved, easy and inexpensive to assemble, easily stackable and storable as a material before assembly, and highly practicable, improving interior accessibility. The upper cover (24) may comprise elements for ensuring its open position (for example gas shock absorbers (26)) (see fig. 3) to prevent accidental closing during manipulations. The panel that configures the base (20) will preferably be internally reinforced (and therefore includes internal reinforcements, not shown) to support the weight of the filter without suffering deformations over time. In addition, the provision of a bolt or lock (88) is preferred to place a padlock and ensure that the upper cover (24) and doors (23) cannot be opened to prevent any child or unauthorized person from gaining access to the interior.

Additionally (continue with fig. 3) you can have a pre-assembled luminaire (7) (ideally LED) and a switch (8) near the installation area of the electrical panel (9), already wired, so that simply fixing the panel electric and connecting two cables, you already have lighting. It is also possible to have a pre-assembled power outlet (10), also close to the installation area of the electrical panel (9).

Indicate that, preferably, all the interior elements (the steps (101, 102, 103, 104), the switch (8) and the power socket (10), if applicable) are arranged at the bottom (21) vertical enclosure, and the luminaire (7) in the cover (24), since only one of the parts of the enclosure needs to be machined and the aesthetics and the possibility of placing the shed attached to a wall is improved, for example .

Having sufficiently described the nature of the invention, as well as the way it is carried out in practice, it should be noted that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are susceptible to modifications in detail as long as they do not alter the fundamental principle.
