Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a diving pool as a new urban leisure facility.

[Conventional technology]

Underwater is still an unknown space for us humans. In addition, people seek comfort and stimulation in and around water.

There are no facilities that allow you to easily and safely experience this new underwater world.

On the other hand, although scuba diving has become popular in recent years and the number of divers is increasing, the existing pools for scuba diving in cities are all small, only a few meters in width and depth. Used for basic training.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In such conventional diving pools, there are few elements of play in the pool itself, and it is not suitable as a leisure facility.

By the way, when looking at recreational diving, there are many attractive spots such as Okinawa and overseas, but for those living in cities, the cost of getting there is high, and there are only a few spots nearby. It has become impossible to keep up with the increasing number of divers in recent years.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the conventional example,
It provides a diving pool as a new urban leisure facility where safe and comfortable weather and sea conditions can be ensured at all times, and users can enjoy skiuba diving easily and in a fun and sports-like manner.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is a large pool that is installed in a roofed structure and has a maximum straight line distance of several tens of meters. In addition, a bubble generator connected to the tip of the air pipe is installed at the bottom of the middle shelf area near the boundary with the deepest area. The purpose is to form an air curtain underwater.

[Function] According to the present invention, the pool is large, with a diameter of several tens of meters, and has sufficient swimming space, allowing divers to enjoy the underwater charm.

Additionally, this pool deepens in stages, allowing experienced divers to enjoy diving in the deep area near the center, while novice divers can enjoy diving in the relatively shallow area, and furthermore, in the shallow area near the edge of the pool, diving equipment can be used. It is also possible to bathe without water.

Moreover, since the pool is built inside a covered structure, it can be used regardless of the weather or season, and an underwater air curtain can create areas where the water becomes cloudy, making it possible to artificially recreate ocean phenomena. . The bubbling of the air curtain on the water surface also serves as an indicator to notify the difference in depth.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing one embodiment of the diving pool of the present invention, and 1 in the figure shows a circular pool with a maximum straight line distance (maximum diameter) of 50 m.

The pool 1 is formed, for example, in the center of a large concrete structure 2 as a four-story building, and as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, it is constructed concentrically in three large steps that become deeper toward the center. Ru. As an example, bathing area 3 with a depth of about 1.2m,
The next stage is the middle shelf area 4, which is about 5 meters deep, and the deepest area 5, which is about 10 meters deep.

Furthermore, the bathing area 3 is 0.4m in part.
A step-like shallow area 6 of about 0.8 m is formed in an arc shape from the edge of the pool 1 inward, and there are also sections of 1.6 m, 2.0 m, 2.4 m,
An arc-shaped guide staircase 7 that gradually deepens to 2.8 m was formed, and a guide handrail 8 was erected here.

35 in the figure is an underwater tunnel that curves downward.
It exits from the bottom of the middle shelf area 4 to the middle of the deepest area 5.

For example, at the bottom of the middle shelf area 4 of the pool 1, near the boundary with the deepest area 5, there is an air pipe 3 with one end connected to a compressor as shown in FIG.
A bubble generator 39 connected to the tip of the air pipe 38 is provided, and a valve 40 is installed in the middle of the air pipe 38.
This was connected to a valve control device 42 controlled by a computer 41. The bubble generator 39 forms an air curtain 43 in the water.

In addition, although the pool 1 was circular in the above embodiment,
It may be oval, rectangular, etc., and as long as it becomes deeper from the outer periphery toward the center, it may be deepened sequentially not in the form of steps but in the form of a ramp or the like.

As shown in FIGS. 5 to 9, a large concrete structure 2 having such a pool 1 has a machine room 29 as well as a monitor room and a basement floor 9 located on the outer periphery of the deepest area 5. A viewing room, etc. will be provided, and a lobby 12 will be provided at the back of the entrance 11 on the first floor 10 located on the outer periphery of the middle shelf area 4 and bathing area 3. Next to the entrance 11 will be an employee room, a restaurant, a tea room, etc. It is divided into 13 small rooms used for information, reception, procedure, lecture rooms, etc. Also,
At the back of this first floor 10, there will be a locker room 14, as well as a shower, sauna, toilet, etc.

The second floor 15 where the opening of the pool 1 is located has a relatively large poolside terrace 1 around the pool 1.
6, a heating room 17 in the corner, and a procedure room 1.
8. There will be a store 19, a medical room, a warehouse 20, etc.
An information board 21 will also be installed.

22 on the 3rd floor and 23 on the 4th floor. Above the pool 1 is the atrium 2.
4, and on the floors formed on both sides there are restaurant/tearoom 25 and First/Tea Room 25.
Food stalls 26 will be provided, and the fourth floor 23 will be an outdoor terrace 27.

On the other hand, the upper part of the atrium 24 is covered with a transparent sunroof 28 as a roof so as to easily let in sunlight.

Incidentally, variations inside the large-scale concrete structure 2 are not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various variations can be considered.

A tower 30 is erected from the center of the circular pool 1, where the deepest area 5 is located, and has a hollow interior of approximately 3 m in diameter, allowing people to enter and exit from above via stairs, etc. An artificial island 31 with a diameter of about 10 m was formed.

Furthermore, above this artificial island 31, an aerial deck 32 is also formed on the outer periphery of the tower 30, but this deck 32 is on the same level as the third floor 22 and connected to it by a passageway 33.

The tower 30 has a monitoring room 34 or viewing room with a window facing into the water of the pool 1, and an underwater projection device (underwater interface) 36 is installed in the deepest part.

By the way, as mentioned above, the artificial island 31 is integrally formed around the outer periphery of the tower 30 in the shape of a brim, but its lower surface is sloped and tapers upward, as shown in FIG. All corners are rounded to prevent danger to divers.

Inside the pool 1, there is a projection device 36, etc.
Secure a location where you can create an artificial underwater space using videos, etc.

Furthermore, a play area may be formed by installing play equipment such as a seesaw.

Next, how to use it will be explained.

Users of the facility of the present invention enter the structure 2 through the entrance 11 on the first floor 10, go through the prescribed procedures at the reception desk, and also rent equipment for skiuba diving.

Then, after going through the locker room 14 and the shower room, go up to the second floor 15 and enter pool 1.

Those who do not dive swim in the bathing area 3, and beginner divers dive from the bathing area 3 to the middle shelf area 4. especially,
Since a shallow water area 6 and a guide staircase 7 with a guide handrail 8 are provided, even beginners can safely dive without fear.

On the other hand, experienced divers can fully enjoy diving in the middle shelf area 4 and the deepest area 5, and for example, enjoy underwater athletics, images created from the projection device 36, and music, not just diving but also skiuba diving. As an auxiliary means, you can experience new underwater play.

All of the tunnels 35 are curved, allowing divers to safely move back and forth through them.

Furthermore, the air curtain 4 is heated by the bubble generator 39.
3 is formed, the water becomes cloudy, and when the diver passes through this air curtain 43, he or she can enjoy nature as he would experience at sea.

Since the air curtain 43 reaches the water surface and creates bubbles, it is possible to know from above the water surface that the deepest area 5 is behind the bubbles.

In addition, safety monitoring for such divers is carried out through underwater monitoring in the monitoring room 34 in the tower 30 and on the deck 32.
In addition to monitoring the water from above, monitor TVs will be installed underwater to ensure there are no blind spots.

The artificial island 31 can be used as a resting area for swimmers and divers, and the deck 32 can also be used for resting and viewing.

Furthermore, even if visitors do not use the pool for swimming or diving, they can rest, eat, etc. on the poolside terrace 16 or the roof terrace.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the diving pool of the present invention is different from conventional small ones used for basic training, and allows recreational diving to be easily and safely enjoyed even in the city, and the pool is always safe and comfortable. Since the weather and sea conditions can be secured, it becomes a water-friendly pool with a relaxing space and can create an urban resort in the city.
