Benefits of technology

[0016]The invention relates to artificial wave making device simple of conception, with a low energy consumption and using a caisson containing air ...

Problems solved by technology

Said devices have high energy consumption and require great investment, so it is not suitable for aquatic breeding.
However, the wave generated by said device is still based on the method of forced vibration.
Therefore, said device has to be provided with an air-blow of great output power, and the cost of the device is still high.
The use of such a large number of valves increases the risk of mechanical problems, as well ...

Embodiment Construction

[0063]FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an adaptive control artificial wave making device 1 for generating wave W with at least one specific wave pattern, at least at the surface LS of a liquid L contained into a pool P located in a room R with an air containing atmosphere having an ambient pressure. The surface LS of the liquid has an average liquid level ALS. The pool P is for example a swimming pool, a treatment basin, an aeration / oxygenation treatment pool, an aquarium, etc. The wave height generated by the device is advantageously lower than 100 cm, preferably lower than 50 cm, said height being the difference between the maximum level achieved by the wave and the average liquid level in the pool.

[0064]The wave making device 1 comprises at least:[0065]a caisson 2 adapted to be mounted at least partly into the pool P containing the liquid L possibly with some foam. The caisson 2 having at least an upper portion 3 located above the average liquid level ALS and a bottom portion 4 inte...

Abstract

The wave making device comprises a caisson connected to an air blower and to a control valve mechanism comprising an exhaust valve adapted to move between a closed position and an open position, and a system adapted to move the exhaust valve and to maintain said exhaust valve into said position. The control valve mechanism is adapted to ensure continuously an air pressure within the caisson at least equal to the atmospheric pressure.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to an artificial wave making device, and to a process for making artificial wave at the surface of a pool.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Artificial wave making devices are commercialized by the company “WOW Company”. Said devices comprises a floating spherical element in which a system moves at least one body so as generate downwards and / or upwards movement of the floating spherical element, whereby generating artificial wave at the surface of the pool.[0003]Artificial wave making devices have also been developed by using a high flow and high pressure air-blower to blow or draw air periodically in a given frequency to form waves. If the area of a pool is about 700 m2, an air-blower having output power of 165 kW is required. Said devices have high energy consumption and require great investment, so it is not suitable for aquatic breeding.[0004]U.S. Pat. No. 4,730,355 to Mark L, Kreinbihl et al. discloses an artificial wavema...
