Abstract:
The invention relates to a cleaning apparatus (1), which handles water treatment and cleaning of the water (W) in a swimming pool (3) and can incorporate additional special equipment such as a camera (32) and microphone (32a) for more efficient control of the circulation pump (10), and which is compactly mounted on the pool edge (2) and is watertightly fully or partially submerged, and via the maintenance flap the inner holder (15) carrying the components requiring maintenance can be brought out and thus the containers (18) can be replaced or they are stored in the building (40) and are carried to the cleaning apparatus (1) by the metering tube (37), the metering pump (16a) being in the cleaning part (6) or in the buliding (40) also with a non-return valve (38) on the inoculating station (39). A recess (M) allows the cleaning apparatus to be held flush against the side wall (2a). An optional docking station (44) for a pool robot (45) makes cleaning easier.
Abstract:
An automatic pool cleaner accessory is provided comprising a tubular assembly (6) for connection to, or for inclusion in, a pool cleaner suction hose (4). The tubular assembly includes first and second tubular members (8, 9) generally coaxial with each other and freely relatively rotatable about a common axis in an inoperative condition of the accessory. Means (16) are provided for inhibiting relative rotation of the members in the operative condition with suction applied to the interior thereof. The accessory is preferably used in combination with a connector tube (7) for installation in a suction hose assembly, the connector tube comprising a central portion (21) of substantially rigid tube having at one end a first terminal portion (22) with its axis extending at an incline to that of the straight central portion, and at the other end a second terminal portion (23) having its axis likewise extending at an incline to the axis of the straight central portion. In end view taken along the axis of the central portion, the axis of the first terminal portion diverges from the axis of the second terminal portion.
Abstract:
A device for connecting a swimming pool bottom suction cleaning head (6) to a recirculation inlet (4) comprises a water discharge nozzle (9) fitted upstream with means (10) allowing rapid connection to said recirculation inlet and releasably attached to a hose (7) providing connection with said cleaning head (6), and a receptacle (15) for the various particles and debris sucked up. Said hose (7) is connected to said nozzle (9) by a pipe (12) surrounding the downstream end of the nozzle (9) and defining a venturi type diffuser (12b, 14), coaxial with the stream of water discharged by the nozzle, immediately downstream of the nozzle outlet. Said receptacle (15) is fitted at the downstream end (12b) of said diffuser. Application in the cleaning of swimming pools.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a flexible suctioning device for suctioning floes from the bottom of large artificial water bodies with surfaces larger than 10,000 m and with bottoms covered with plastic liners that do not have centralized filtration systems, and that is able to clean a bottom surface of large artificial water bodies at a surface cleaning rate of 325,000 ft 2 per 24 hours (30,000 m 2 per 24 hours) or more, where the bottom surface of the large artificial water bodies can be irregular and sloped, and where the suctioning device is reversible and is supported by a plurality of brushes, comprising first brushes, disposed to provide appropriate support to the suction device and minimize the dispersion and re-suspension of settled floes. The suctioning device is designed in order to concentrate the suction power in a series of suction points, where the suctioning device is connected to an external filtration system that may not be attached to the suctioning device.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Unterwasser-Reinigungsmaschine (10) mit einem Saugaggregat (27) zum Erzeugen eines Saugstroms zum Einsaugen von Schmutz über mindestens einen Saugeinlass (65), der mit einem Schmutzwasserauslass (17) zum Anschließen eines Schlauches (23) oder zum Anschließen einer Abscheideeinrichtung (22), insbesondere einer Filtereinrichtung, zum Abscheiden von mit dem Saugstrom eingesaugtem Schmutz strömungsverbunden ist, wobei die Reinigungsmaschine eine Lösebürstenanordnung (80) zum Lösen von Schmutz von einer zu reinigenden Oberfläche (O) aufweist. Es ist vorgesehen, dass neben der Lösebürstenanordnung (80) mindestens eine zusätzlich zu der Strömung des Saugstroms durch den Saugeinlass (65) separat ansaugend wirkende Ansaugeinrichtung (50) zum Ansaugen der Lösebürstenanordnung (80) an die zu reinigende Oberfläche (O) vorhanden ist.
Abstract:
Swimming pool cleaners, and associated hoses and connectors used with swimming pool cleaners may include a lock mechanism for releasably locking multiple hose segments or other components together in varying, discrete locked positions, such that a user can adjust the connection between the components to obtain a fluid tight joint. In these or other embodiments, one or both components can include an improved sealing structure that may facilitate forming such a fluid tight joint.
Abstract:
An adjustable hose clip is provided for use with a pool cleaner debris bag, including a first member having a retaining arm and a second member having a retaining arm. The hose clip also includes means for connecting the hose clip to a pool cleaner debris bag and resilient means for resiliently biasing the retaining arms towards each other such that at least a portion of a pool hose can be retained between the retaining arms. In one example, the resilient means is adapted to automatically adjust the distance between the retaining arms to accommodate various pool hoses having various diameters within the range of a minimum diameter to a maximum diameter at least 50% larger than the minimum diameter. In addition or alternatively, an arrangement for cleaning a swimming pool can include an automatic pool cleaner, a debris bag, a hose and an adjustable hose clip.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for enabling a pool cleaner (60) to travel through a water pool to collect dirt and other debris from the water and/or pool containment wall (88). The cleaner (60) defines a suction passageway having an inlet (74) open to pool water and an outlet (78) adapted to be coupled via a flexible hose (30) to the suction side of an electrically driven pump (26). A resulting suction flow, from the inlet (74) to the pump, functions to (1) carry dirt and other debris to a filter (41) and (2) to drive a turbine (80) for propelling the cleaner (60). In accordance with the invention, the suction passageway inlet (74) includes an orifice defining a physical flow area A1 and configured to create an "effective" flow area A2 smaller than A1, downstream from the orifice. The small effective flow area A2 creates a water flow of sufficient velocity to efficiently drive the turbine (80) whereas the larger physical flow area A1 permits debris to pass more readily.
