Description

{Circular swimming pool for swimming training}

The present invention relates to a circulation-type swimming pool for swimming training, and more specifically, to a circulation-type swimming pool for swimming training in which the water contained in the water tank is compactly structured and circulated and transported through a circulation path, thereby improving space utilization and enabling exercise under the same conditions as in a swimming pool using a small amount of water, and in particular, the water flow rate within the water tank is automatically increased or decreased in relation to the swimming speed, thereby enabling the swimming intensity to be flexibly adjusted.

Swimming is an aerobic exercise that involves moving your arms and legs in a desired direction on the surface of the water. It burns more calories per unit of time than other exercises, but it does not put a strain on the joints and is very good for improving muscle strength and cardiopulmonary function, so it is established as a form of recreational exercise.

And, swimming is mostly done by filling a 25m or 50m swimming pool with water and moving back and forth along the lane. In order to operate such a swimming pool, it costs a lot of money to consider issues such as waterproofing due to water pressure, water bills according to the use of water to fill the pool, and maintenance costs such as water purification. In addition, from the user's perspective, there is a restriction that they can only exercise during the swimming pool's operating hours.

Accordingly, in the previously disclosed patent registration No. 10-2562745, a technology has been previously presented, including a chamber having a swimming space; a flow generation unit providing a flow rate of swimming water in one direction within the swimming space; and a flow equalization unit uniformizing the flow rate of swimming water within the swimming space; wherein the swimming space is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the chamber, and swimming lanes for swimming in different directions are formed within the swimming space, and the flow equalization unit includes a hydraulic pressure-forming member that forms hydraulic pressure; and a honeycomb-shaped discharge honeycomb member located on one side of the hydraulic pressure-forming member and including a plurality of discharge ports, wherein the plurality of discharge ports are formed in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the chamber, and the hydraulic pressure-forming member includes a hydraulic pressure-forming fluid passage extending in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the chamber and a limiting member located at an end of the hydraulic pressure-forming fluid passage and extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of the chamber.

However, the above-mentioned conventional technology, while attempting to provide a swimming pool device that does not occupy a large space while securing an independent swimming space for personal hygiene, has problems in that the flow rate within the chamber varies greatly by zone and the precision of flow rate control is low, making it difficult to flexibly respond to the user's swimming skills.

The present invention relates to a circulation-type swimming pool for swimming training, which is compactly structured so that water contained in a water tank is circulated and transported through a circulation path, thereby achieving excellent space utilization, and also enabling exercise under the same conditions as a swimming pool using a small amount of water, and in particular, the main configuration comprises a water tank (10), a circulation path (20), a pump (30), and a protective net (40) so that the water flow rate within the water tank is automatically increased or decreased in connection with the swimming speed, thereby enabling flexible adjustment of the swimming intensity.

The water tank (10) according to the present invention has water stored inside, and an intake port (11) and an outlet port (12) are formed on the inner walls facing each other.

The above tank (10) is provided with an open top and a drain pipe installed at the bottom so that the water inside can be discharged during washing.

The above tank (10) is formed by dividing it into multiple parts and is equipped to be assembled and constructed on site using a fastening means including bolts.

In addition, a suction port (11) and a discharge port (12) are formed on both sides of the longitudinal wall of the water tank (10), so that water is sucked into the water tank (10) by the circulation path (20) described later, and the sucked water is circulated and discharged into the water tank (10).

Meanwhile, a transparent window is formed on the width-wise side wall of the tank (10) so that the internal space of the tank (10) can be viewed from the outside.

In addition, the circulation path (20) according to the present invention is arranged at the bottom of the water tank (10), and is connected at both ends to the suction port (11) and the discharge port (12) to circulate and transport water within the water tank (10).

The above-mentioned circulation path (20) is a passage for circulating water within the tank (10), and a pump (30) described later is installed therein.

In addition, the pump (30) according to the present invention is installed in the circulation path (20) and sucks water through the suction port (11) and outputs it toward the discharge port (12).

At this time, the pump (30) is equipped with on/off operation and output controlled by the control unit.

In addition, the pump (30) is equipped with a flow control unit (70) so that the output is automatically controlled in connection with the user's swimming speed.

In Fig. 7, the flow control unit (70) includes a first sensor (71) installed on a width-wise side wall of the tank (10) adjacent to the discharge port (12), and a second sensor (72) installed on a width-wise side wall of the tank (10) adjacent to the suction port (11). At this time, the output of the pump (30) is provided to be controlled by a control unit.

In operation, when a user swims in the tank (10) and reaches a position adjacent to the discharge port (12) and is detected by the first sensor (71), the output of the pump (30) is increased by the control unit to increase the flow rate, and when a user swims and reaches a position adjacent to the suction port (11) and is detected by the second detection sensor (72), the output of the pump (30) is decreased by the control unit to decrease the flow rate. At this time, the basic output of the pump (30) is maintained at a value set by the control unit, and when a set time has elapsed based on the time at which the user is detected by either the first sensor (71) or the second sensor (72), the pump (30) is switched to the basic output value.

In this way, since the water flow rate in the tank (10) is automatically increased or decreased in connection with the user's swimming speed, when the user increases the swimming speed to increase the exercise intensity, the first sensor (71) detects this and the flow rate automatically increases, and conversely, when the user decreases the swimming speed to decrease the exercise intensity, the second sensor (72) detects this and the flow rate automatically decreases, which is advantageous.

In addition, the protective net (40) according to the present invention is installed in each of the suction port (11) and the discharge port (12).

The above protective net (40) prevents users and items including towels and water caps from entering the suction port (11) and the discharge port (12).

At this time, a rectifying module (50) is provided within the discharge port (12).

In the enlarged view of Fig. 2, the rectifier module (50) includes a plurality of horizontal rectifier plates (51) spaced apart in the width direction within the discharge port (12), and a vertical rectifier plate (52) installed in the height direction within the discharge port (12) and arranged in a grid shape with the horizontal rectifier plates (51) to form a plurality of square rectifier channels (53).

In addition, since water is distributed and passes through a plurality of square flow paths (53) within the discharge port (12), there is an advantage in that the water pressure is evenly distributed over the entire cross-sectional area of the discharge port (12).

Additionally, the pump (30) is equipped to be turned off by a shutdown module (60).

The above shutdown module (60) includes a load sensing unit (61) that detects the load of the pump (30) in real time, and a switching unit (62) that recognizes the suction port (11) as being blocked by an obstacle and turns off the pump (30) when the load sensing unit (61) detection value exceeds a set value.

Accordingly, if an emergency situation including cramps occurs while the user is swimming in the tank (10) and the user comes into close contact with the suction port (11), the effective water suction area through the suction port (11) is reduced, the load on the pump (30) increases, and the load sensing unit (61) detects this and turns off the pump (30), thereby preventing a safety accident.

In Fig. 3, the circulation path (20) is formed by a combination of multiple circulation pipes (21) arranged in the width direction of the water tank (10), and a pump (30) is installed in each circulation pipe (21).

Accordingly, there is an advantage in that the water pressure can be evenly controlled for the entire cross-sectional area of the discharge port (12) as water is distributed and circulated through the above-mentioned circulation pipe (21).

In Fig. 4, the circulation path (20) is formed by a combination of a plurality of circulation pipes (21) arranged in the width direction of the water tank (10), a pump (30) is installed in each circulation pipe (21), and a discharge port (12) and a suction port (11) are formed at both ends of each circulation pipe (21).

At this time, the pump (30) is equipped so that its output is independently controlled by the control unit.

And, when the output of each pump (30) is set so that the water pressure discharged through the circulation pipe (21) of the side edges on both sides is increased compared to the circulation pipe (21) arranged in the central region of the circulation pipe (21), as shown in Fig. 4 (a), the flow velocity in the widthwise side region (S) of the water tank (10) is increased compared to the central region (C), and the central region (C) is distinguished within the water tank (10) by the difference in flow velocity, or when the output of each pump (30) is set so that the water pressure discharged through the circulation pipe (21) of the central region is increased compared to the circulation pipe (21) arranged in the side edges on both sides of the circulation pipe (21), as shown in Fig. 4 (b), the flow velocity in the widthwise side region (S) of the water tank (10) is decreased compared to the central region (C), and the central region (C) is distinguished within the water tank (10) by the difference in flow velocity.

Accordingly, the user can detect the current while swimming and identify poor posture due to his or her swimming position and left-right movement, thereby effectively performing straight-line training.

In Fig. 6, the circulation pipe (21) is formed with an elastic tube (21a) in a section corresponding to the bottom surface of the water tank (10), and the upper surface is exposed to the inside of the water tank (10). A pump (30) is arranged at one end of the water tank (10) in the longitudinal direction so as to be adjacent to the suction port (11), and a valve (22) is arranged at the other end of the water tank (10) in the longitudinal direction so as to be adjacent to the discharge port (12), so as to open and close the circulation pipe (21).

And, when one or more of the plurality of valves (22) installed in the above-mentioned circulation pipe (21) is closed, the circulation pipe (21) is expanded upward by the hydraulic pressure of the pump (30), and when the valve (22) is opened, the circulation pipe (21) is contracted.

Accordingly, when the valve (22) is intermittently opened and closed, the circulation pipe (21) is intermittently contracted and expanded in the longitudinal direction, causing the water in the tank (10) to oscillate to form artificial waves, thereby providing the advantage of being able to experience ocean swimming where waves are generated in a narrow space.

As described above, the detailed description of the present invention has described the most preferred embodiment of the present invention, but various modifications may be made within the scope that does not depart from the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should not be limited to the above-described embodiment, but should be recognized as the protection scope extending to the technologies of the patent claims described below and equivalent technical means from these technologies.
