Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to Automated Smart Swimming Pool System with Dual Layer Water Treatment and Waste Tank.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Smart swimming pool systems are engineered to automate the monitoring, cleaning, and temperature adjustment of pool water to ensure the highest possible quality. The system is divided into two primary layers: the main layer for swimming and a secondary layer dedicated to water treatment. This dual-layer setup is designed to address several challenges associated with traditional pool maintenance.
Traditional pool maintenance often involves labor-intensive tasks, requiring regular physical cleaning and monitoring, which consumes considerable time and effort. Manual procedures frequently lead to inconsistent water quality due to human error or erratic maintenance schedules, increasing health risks as swimmers might be exposed to germs, algae, and other contaminants. Moreover, maintaining an appropriate water temperature manually can be both difficult and ineffective, resulting in discomfort for swimmers.
Many existing pool systems lack automation, necessitating ongoing human intervention for tasks such as temperature control, cleaning, and monitoring. Additionally, these systems often do not provide real-time data or remote monitoring capabilities, making it challenging to respond promptly to changes in water quality or temperature. Without centralized monitoring or remote access, user control over the pool system is limited, reducing responsiveness and convenience. Environmental concerns are also significant, with inefficient cleaning and heating techniques leading to excessive water and energy use, and inadequate waste disposal methods contributing to pollution.
The smart swimming pool system addresses these issues through efficiency and automation. The primary layer of the system, designed for swimming, provides comfort and safety, featuring three strategically positioned drain pipes to effectively remove contaminated water. The secondary layer, dedicated to water treatment, separates the swimming area from the treatment operations. This layer gathers unclean water from the top layer for processing, and includes a water quality sensor that continuously monitors purity by detecting impurities and particles. Data on water quality is wirelessly transmitted to a central monitoring system for immediate analysis and response.
The cleaning process involves an automated filtering system that removes debris, hair, and other solid waste particles, with a dedicated waste tank that collects the filtered waste for proper disposal. Temperature regulation is managed automatically, based on user preferences or preset parameters, to maintain a comfortable water temperature. Cleaned and temperature-adjusted water is recirculated back to the main swimming area, ensuring consistent water quality and temperature.
The system features a central monitoring system that displays real-time performance metrics and water quality statistics, allowing for manual adjustments and overrides as needed. Automated processes reduce the need for human intervention, while a smartphone app enables users to remotely monitor and manage the pool system from any location. Environmentally, the system optimizes resource use by minimizing energy and water consumption, and ensures proper waste management to reduce pollution.
Overall, the smart swimming pool system enhances user comfort and security, offers significant environmental benefits, and addresses the shortcomings of traditional pool maintenance methods through advanced automation and efficient resource management.
1020190000293 relates to a platform-based smart swimming pool record measurement management service system. More specifically, the platform-based smart swimming pool record measurement management service system comprises: a tag means attached to and detached from a portion of the body of a user for measuring and managing a record; a measurement pad attached to the end of one side and the end of the other side of a swimming pool to identify a user by contact of the tag means to measure a record; a gateway which is installed in a swimming pool and receives a section record from a measurement pad attached to each lane to calculate a section speed for each user; a cloud management server including a receiving unit to receive a section record and a section speed for each user from a gateway installed in at least one swimming pool, an analysis means to analyze a record for each user, a coaching means to generate coaching data for each user based on the analyzed record, and a database to store the section record, the section speed, analysis data, and the coaching data for each user in real time; and a user terminal to connect to the management server to check and manage the section record, the section speed, the analysis data, and the coaching data for each user from the management server.
RESEARCH GAP: Using IoT and AI, the suggested smart swimming pool management system automates data gathering and analysis while delivering individualized coaching and real-time feedback. With cloud-based storage, this system offers efficient, accurate, and accessible performance tracking, in contrast to traditional systems that depend on manual entry and delayed feedback. The real-time, tailored changes based on user data greatly increase the efficacy of training.

The present invention is directed to a sophisticated swimming pool system that incorporates advanced automation and real-time monitoring to optimize water quality and temperature control. The system is fundamentally composed of two distinct layers: the primary swimming layer (1) and the secondary treatment layer (2). The primary layer is designed for user interaction, providing a comfortable and safe environment for swimming. This layer includes three strategically positioned drain pipes (3) that facilitate the effective removal of contaminated water from the swimming area.
In the secondary treatment layer (2), the system is equipped to manage water treatment operations separately from the swimming area. This layer features a mechanism to gather and channel unclean water from the primary layer for further processing. It includes a water quality sensor (4) that continuously monitors water purity by detecting impurities and particulate matter. The sensor data is transmitted wirelessly to a central monitoring system (5) for real-time analysis and immediate response.
The cleaning process is managed by an automated filtering system (6), which removes debris, hair, and other solid waste from the water. The filtered waste is collected in a dedicated waste tank (7) for proper disposal, ensuring that the swimming area remains clean and secure. Temperature regulation is achieved through a temperature control component (8), which automatically adjusts the water temperature based on user preferences or preset parameters, maintaining a comfortable swimming environment.
The purified water, after undergoing filtration and temperature adjustment, is recirculated back to the primary swimming area (1) to maintain consistent water quality and temperature. The system's central monitoring module (5) provides a real-time display of system performance metrics and water quality statistics, allowing for manual adjustments and overrides as needed. Users can interact with the system remotely via a smartphone app (9), which offers convenient access to monitoring and control features from any location.
The automated swimming pool system is designed with a focus on environmental efficiency, minimizing resource waste through optimized energy and water consumption. The system also ensures proper waste management, reducing the potential for pollution. By addressing the limitations of traditional pool maintenance, the invention provides an enhanced, user-friendly solution that combines advanced automation with environmental stewardship.
