Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of underwater monitoring technology, specifically a swimming pool equipped with underwater monitoring. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, when underwater cameras need to be installed in conventional swimming pools, artificial water flow swimming pools, rehabilitation hydrotherapy pools (hydrotherapy pools), or sports hydrotherapy pools (hydrotherapy pools), there are two main installation methods. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, as detailed below:

[0003] 1. Hanging fastening method:

[0004] Using suction cup mounts to fix the camera to the pool wall presents several significant problems. First, the camera protruding from the pool wall occupies space within the pool, increasing the risk of it being bumped or scratched by people in the pool, leading to image shake or angular displacement. This is especially problematic in swimming pools with artificial currents, where the water flow can cause further camera shake and even loosen the suction cup. For underwater imaging systems with specific functions, such as underwater 3D motion capture cameras, angular displacement necessitates recalibration, thus affecting normal camera operation.

[0005] In smaller hydrotherapy pools used for sports rehabilitation, the limitations of hanging fixtures are more pronounced. Due to limited space, cameras are more susceptible to interference, and the effects of water flow are more noticeable, making hanging fixtures very inconvenient to use in such environments.

[0006] 2. Flat glass window isolation method:

[0007] The camera is mounted behind a flat glass window embedded in the pool wall, isolated from the water. The advantage of this method is that it saves on waterproofing costs for the camera, and because the camera is outside the pool, it is unaffected by water flow and does not occupy space within the pool. However, the use of a flat glass window also introduces new problems. Because the flat glass cannot perfectly match the camera's angle, refraction occurs when there is an angle between the camera and the glass, resulting in image distortion. Furthermore, the limited field of view of the flat glass cannot completely match the camera's angle, thus creating blind spots and limiting its applicability.

[0008] In conclusion, both the mounting bracket method and the flat glass window isolation method have their advantages and disadvantages. Further optimization of the underwater camera installation method is necessary.

[0009] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the general background of the invention and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0010] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a swimming pool with underwater monitoring, which is highly safe, reasonably designed, easy to install, has good viewing angle matching, stable structure, flexible layout and excellent waterproof performance, thus improving the safety and monitoring efficiency of the swimming pool, while also taking into account the stability of the equipment, the convenience of maintenance and the aesthetics of the design.

[0011] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0012] A swimming pool with underwater monitoring, characterized in that it comprises:

[0013] A recessed area 1 is provided on the side wall 7 of the pool body. The recessed area 1 has a streamlined design and the bottom surface 6 of the recessed area 1 is arc-shaped.

[0014] A transparent window 5 is installed at the deepest part of the bottom surface 6, and a camera 4 is provided therein. The camera 4 is located at the innermost end of the recessed area 1, and the transparent window 5 isolates the camera 4 from the water.

[0015] Based on the above technical solution, the streamlined design is teardrop-shaped, elliptical, or oval.

[0016] Based on the above technical solution, the recessed area 1 is used to accommodate the underwater camera, the transparent window 5 is used to isolate the camera 4 from the water, and the different chamfers of the transparent window 5 and the bottom surface 6 can realize the change of the camera's orientation.

[0017] Based on the above technical solution, the recessed area 1 includes at least one large-diameter end 3 for matching the viewing angle of the underwater camera.

[0018] Based on the above technical solution, the camera 4 is located at the innermost end of the recessed area 1, and the camera 4 is perpendicular to the transparent window 5.

[0019] Based on the above technical solution, a recessed area 1 is provided on the left and right sides of the side wall 7 of the pool body. The recessed area 1 is teardrop-shaped, with one end being a small diameter end 2 and the other end being a large diameter end 3. The bottom surface 6 of the recessed area 1 is arc-shaped, and the bottom depth is greatest near the large diameter end 3.

[0020] Based on the above technical solution, the large-diameter end 3 faces the center of the pool; or, the large-diameter end 3 faces the bottom of the pool and is tilted at a preset angle; the preset angle is 15 to 45 degrees.

[0021] Based on the above technical solution, a recessed area 1 is provided in the middle of the side wall 7 of the pool body. The recessed area 1 is elliptical, with small diameter ends 2 at both ends and large diameter ends 3 in the middle. The bottom surface 6 of the recessed area 1 is arc-shaped, and the bottom depth is greatest near the large diameter end 3.

[0022] Based on the above technical solution, the large-diameter end 3 faces the angle between the side wall and the pool; or, the large-diameter end 3 faces the bottom of the pool and is tilted at a preset angle; the preset angle is 15 to 90 degrees.

[0023] The swimming pool with underwater monitoring described in this invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. By setting up recessed areas on the side walls of the pool and installing underwater cameras, the situation inside the pool can be monitored in real time, improving the safety of swimmers.

[0025] Recessed areas can be set on the left and right sides or in the middle of the pool sidewalls, and teardrop or oval designs can be selected as needed to provide a variety of layout options.

[0026] 2. The streamlined design of the recessed area (such as teardrop, elliptical, or egg-shaped) is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also reduces the impact of water flow on the camera, protecting the equipment.

[0027] 3. The different chamfers of the transparent window and the curved bottom surface allow for changes in the camera's orientation.

[0028] The camera is fixed outside the side wall of the pool and allows light to pass through a transparent window, which improves the stability and flexibility of the camera installation.

[0029] 4. The recessed area must include at least one large-diameter end, matching the viewing angle of the underwater camera to ensure maximum monitoring range.

[0030] The large-diameter end is designed to face the center or bottom of the pool and can be tilted at an angle (15 to 45 degrees or 15 to 90 degrees) to optimize the monitoring view. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The present invention includes the following figures:

[0032] The accompanying drawings are provided to better understand the invention and are not intended to unduly limit the scope of the invention. Wherein:

[0035] Figure 3 The structure of a swimming pool with underwater monitoring according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention Figure 3 . Detailed Implementation

[0036] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This detailed description is an illustration in conjunction with exemplary embodiments of the invention, including various details of the embodiments to aid understanding, and should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the swimming pool with underwater monitoring according to the present invention includes:

[0038] A recessed area 1 is provided on the side wall 7 of the pool body. The recessed area 1 has a streamlined design and the bottom surface 6 of the recessed area 1 is arc-shaped.

[0039] A transparent window 5 is installed at the deepest part of the bottom surface 6, and a camera 4 is provided therein. The camera 4 is located at the innermost end of the recessed area 1, and the transparent window 5 isolates the camera 4 from the water.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the recessed area 1 is used to install the camera, and the transparent window 5 is used to isolate the camera from the water and change its angle. In this embodiment, by introducing the recessed area 1, the camera avoids occupying the movement space inside the pool. In use, the camera is placed behind the transparent window 5 installed at the bottom opening of the recessed area 1, and the camera is installed perpendicular to the transparent window 5 (external camera fixing parts, such as L-shaped connecting rods, cylindrical mounting slots, etc., can be selected as needed).

[0041] For example, the recessed area 1 includes at least one large-diameter end 3 for matching the viewing angle of the underwater camera, which can reduce blind spots.

[0042] Based on the above technical solution, the recessed area 1 is used to accommodate the underwater camera, the transparent window 5 is used to isolate the camera 4 from the water, and the different chamfers of the transparent window 5 and the bottom surface 6 can realize the change of the camera's orientation.

[0043] The transparent window 5 design isolates the camera from water, ensuring it doesn't need to be submerged, thus improving stability and durability. The transparent window also allows users to operate the camera without contact with water, enhancing safety. Maintenance and repairs can be performed outside the pool, reducing the workload and risks for maintenance personnel.

[0044] Meanwhile, when installing the transparent window 5, the cutting angle of the bottom opening of the recessed area 1 can be selectively selected to match the viewing angle range of different cameras.

[0045] For example, camera 4 is located at the innermost end of the recessed area 1, and camera 4 is perpendicular to the transparent window 5. The perpendicular installation of camera 4 and transparent window 5 can effectively avoid image distortion caused by refraction due to deviation angle.

[0046] Based on the above technical solutions, such as Figure 3 As shown, a recessed area 1 is provided on the left and right sides of the side wall 7 of the pool body. The recessed area 1 is teardrop-shaped, with one end being the small diameter end 2 and the other end being the large diameter end 3. The bottom surface 6 of the recessed area 1 is arc-shaped, and the bottom depth is greatest near the large diameter end 3.

[0047] The pool has two opposing side walls 7 along its length, resulting in a total of four recessed areas 1; the large-diameter end 3 faces the center of the pool; or, the large-diameter end 3 faces the bottom of the pool and is inclined at a preset angle; the preset angle is 15 to 45 degrees.

[0048] By incorporating two recessed areas on each side wall of the pool, omnidirectional monitoring of the central area is achieved, increasing the monitoring coverage and ensuring no blind spots within the pool. The symmetrical design of the recessed areas provides a balanced view from both sides of the pool, helping to capture any activity occurring in the pool, whether on one side or in the central area.

[0049] The large-diameter end can face the center or bottom of the pool and can be tilted at a preset angle (15 to 45 degrees). This design allows the camera to adjust the viewing angle as needed to capture the situation in the pool at the best angle.

[0050] Based on the above technical solution, a recessed area 1 is provided in the middle of the side wall 7 of the pool body. The recessed area 1 is elliptical, with small diameter ends 2 at both ends and large diameter ends 3 in the middle. The bottom surface 6 of the recessed area 1 is arc-shaped, and the bottom depth is greatest near the large diameter end 3.

[0051] For example, if the left and right cameras arranged in opposite directions cannot meet the monitoring requirements, a recessed area 1 can be added in the middle to obtain more mounting points.

[0052] The pool has two opposing side walls 7 along its length, thus providing two recessed areas 1; the large-diameter end 3 faces the angle between the side walls of the pool; or, the large-diameter end 3 faces the bottom of the pool and is inclined at a preset angle; the preset angle is 15 to 90 degrees.

[0053] By setting a recessed area on each side wall of the pool, monitoring of both sides of the pool is achieved. In particular, the design of the area where the large-diameter end faces the side wall at an angle provides a wider field of view and reduces blind spots.

[0054] The oval-shaped recessed area 1 opening allows the camera to be set to the desired orientation, and also reduces the number of recessed areas 1, making it easier to use and maintain.

[0055] The large-diameter end can be oriented towards the corner of the pool sidewall or the bottom surface, and can be tilted at a preset angle (15 to 90 degrees). This design allows the camera to adjust the viewing angle as needed to capture the situation inside the pool at the best angle.

[0056] Understandably, if the monitoring requirements cannot be met by placing cameras facing each other on the left, center, and right, recessed areas 1 can be set in all directions (front, back, left, and right) to obtain more mounting points. The method for setting recessed areas 1 in the other direction is the same as the method for setting recessed areas 1 facing each other.

[0057] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
