Abstract

Aerated bath using pressurised gas from bottles or compressors may be used for orthopaedic massage treatment. If magnetic flow control valves are installed in the feed tubes between the gas source and the outlets, flow rates can be individually controlled by a microprocessor. Control parameters and programs can be input via a single control panel, allowing treament to be concentrated on particular parts of the patient's body. Treatment times and sequences can be set in advance. ADVANTAGE - Fine individual flow control minimises wastage of gas. Dynamic control improves stimulation to body circulation.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Steuerungsvorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs.The invention relates to a control device according to the preamble of Main claim.

Steuerungsvorrichtungen für Sprudelbäder sind bekannt. Sie betreffen entweder Ablaufsteuerungen oder elektronisch überwachte Programme, die in den Sprudelbadgebläsen/-kompressoren installiert sind (z. B. DE-OS 27 12 378, DE-OS 29 20 884, DE-OS 29 31 238, DE-OS 32 09 635, DE-OS 37 38 364, EP 03 31 606).Control devices for whirlpools are known. They concern either sequential controls or electronically monitored programs that are in the bubble bath blowers / compressors are installed (e.g. DE-OS 27 12 378, DE-OS 29 20 884, DE-OS 29 31 238, DE-OS 32 09 635, DE-OS 37 38 364, EP 03 31 606).

Zum anderen sind aber keine Steuerungsvorrichtungen verfügbar für Gas- Perl- oder Sprudelbäder, die z. B. in Kureinrichtungen mittels Druckgas aus Gasflaschen bzw. der Druckgas-Installation über Gasverteiler in einer Badewanne erzeugt werden.On the other hand, no control devices are available for gas Pearl or bubble baths, the z. B. in spa facilities using compressed gas Gas bottles or the compressed gas installation via gas distributor in one Bathtub generated.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Neuerung ist deshalb die Schaffung einer Steue­ rungsvorrichtung, die einfach und komfortabel steuerbare Variationen im Ablauf eines mittels Druckgas erzeugten Sprudel- oder Perlbades zuläßt.The task of the present innovation is therefore the creation of a tax tion device, the easily and conveniently controllable variations in the Allows a bubble or pearl bath generated by compressed gas to run out.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 dazu angegebe­ nen Merkmale gelöst.This task is indicated in the characterizing part of claim 1 Features resolved.

Weitere Ausführungsarten der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen ange­ geben.Further embodiments of the invention are set out in the subclaims give.

Die Steuerungsvorrichtung stellt erfindungsgemäß ein Magnetventil dar, das in einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung über einen Mikroprozessor per Tastenfeld betätigt wird. Es ist in der Lage, den Gasstrom von der Gasflasche/der Druckgasinstallation zum Gasverteiler in der Badewanne stufenlos bis auf 0 herunterzuregulieren. Außerdem kann es im Wechsel schnell geschlossen/ge­ öffnet werden, so daß eine Intervallperlung/-sprudelung resultiert. Gerade die letztgenannte Behandlungsart hat entscheidende Vorteile: According to the invention, the control device represents a solenoid valve that in a preferred embodiment via a microprocessor using a keypad is operated. It is able to stop the gas flow from the gas bottle / the Pressurized gas installation to the gas distributor in the bathtub continuously down to 0 to regulate down. In addition, it can be closed / closed alternately be opened so that an interval sparkling / bubbling results. Just the latter type of treatment has decisive advantages:  

  • 1. Durch den Wechsel von Perlung/Sprudelung und Ruhe ergibt sich ein periodisch wiederholter taktiler Reiz, den das "Differentialglied" Haut stärker wahrnimmt als eine kontinuierliche Bläschendusche. Dadurch kommt es zu einer vermehrten reaktiven Durch­ blutung.1. The result of the alternation of bubbling / bubbling and rest a periodically repeated tactile stimulus that the "Differential link" perceives skin more than a continuous one Bubble shower. This leads to an increased reactive through bleeding.
  • 2. In den Ruhepausen können die an der Haut angehefteten Bläschen ihr Gas, z. B. Kohlendioxid, vollständig an die Haut abgeben, ohne daß sie sofort von nachfolgenden Bläschen und der begleitenden Wasserströmung abgerissen werden. Erst wenn der Bläscheninhalt von der Epidermis re­ sorbiert ist - die erforderliche Zeit kann durch Testung ermittelt werden - kommt der nächste Bläschenschwall mit frischem Gasinhalt und setzt sich auf der Haut fest.2. During the breaks, the vesicles attached to the skin can affect her Gas, e.g. B. carbon dioxide, completely to the skin without it immediately from subsequent bubbles and the accompanying water flow be demolished. Only when the blister contents from the epidermis right is sorbed - the required time can be determined by testing - the next bubble surge comes with fresh gas content and settles on the skin.
  • 3. Dadurch wird der Umgang mit dem ja nicht billigen Gas erheblich spar­ samer, weil mit weit weniger Gas derselbe physiologische Effekt er­ zielt wird.3. This saves the handling of the not cheap gas considerably samer because he has the same physiological effect with far less gas is aimed.

In einer weiteren Ausführung gehen hinter der Steuerungsvorrichtung mehrere Schlauchleitungen ab, die unterschiedliche Perl-/Sprudelbereiche des oder der Gasverteiler(s) speisen. Z. B über den Mikroprozessor lassen sich so die gewünschten Körperbereiche bezüglich Zeitdauer, Abfolge und Intensität der Perlung/Sprudelung auswählen.In a further embodiment, several go behind the control device Hose lines from the different pearl / bubble areas of the or feed the gas distributor (s). For example, via the microprocessor desired body areas with regard to time duration, sequence and intensity of the Select bubbling / bubbling.

Ein Gas-Perlbad/-Sprudelbad kann damit gezielter und individueller, aber in der jeweiligen Lokalisierung auch intensiver, appliziert werden als bis­ lang. So ist ein Programm vorstellbar, das mit der Besprudelung von Händen und Füßen beginnt und dann unter Hinzunahme des Nackens über die Arme und Beine "herzwärts" nach zentripetal fortschreitet. Die z. B. durch CO2 be­ wirkte Hyperämie der Haut würde sich somit von peripher nach zentral stu­ fenweise aufbauen, wodurch die Adaption des Herz-Kreislauf-Systems erleich­ tert werden könnte.A gas bubble bath / bubble bath can thus be applied in a more targeted and individual way, but also more intensively in the respective localization than was the case for a long time. A program is conceivable that begins with the fizzing of hands and feet and then proceeds with the addition of the neck over the arms and legs "towards the heart" towards the centripetal region. The z. B. by CO 2 be hyperemia of the skin would build up gradually from peripheral to central step by step, whereby the adaptation of the cardiovascular system could be tert tert easier.
