BeschreibungDescription

Die üblichen Steuerungen fur Saunen, Dampfbäder und Whirlpool-Anlagen werden durch manuelle Eingabe, durch eine integrierte Uhr und durch die an der Anlage und dem entsprechenden Medium (Wasser, Luft, Dampf)The usual controls for saunas, steam baths and whirlpool systems are controlled by manual input, by an integrated clock and by the system and the corresponding medium (water, air, steam).

Die Funktionen der Anlagen werden in Abhängigkeit dieser Parameter manuell, halb- und/oder vollatomatischThe functions of the systems are controlled manually, semi-automatically and/or fully automatically depending on these parameters.

gesteuert.controlled.

Die benutzenden Personen müssen die Funktionen je nach Empfinden nachregeln. Sie haben keine exakten Informationen über ihre Körperfunktionen während der Benutzung.The people using the device have to adjust the functions according to their feelings. They do not have exact information about their body functions during use.

Der in Schutzansprüchen 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, daß die Körperfunktionen der Personen, die die Anlagen benutzen, bislang nicht zur Steuerung der Anlagen und ihrer einzelnen Aggregate herangezogen werden, um die Anwendung individuell auf die benutzenden Personen und deren Körperfunktionen sowie Körper-Reaktionen abzustimmen und zu kontrollieren.The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem that the bodily functions of the people who use the systems have not yet been used to control the systems and their individual units in order to individually adjust and control the application to the people using them and their bodily functions and reactions.

Dieses Problem wird mit der in den Schutzansprüchen 1 bis 4 beschriebenen Erfindung gelöst.This problem is solved by the invention described in claims 1 to 4.

Mit der Erfindung wird erreicht, daß die Funktion und damit der Wirkungsgrad der Anlagen individuell und automatisch auf die benutzenden Personen abgestimmt werden kann.The invention ensures that the function and thus the efficiency of the systems can be individually and automatically adapted to the people using them.

Wie Figur 1 zeigt, werden die erfassbaren Daten der Körperfunktionen der benutzenden Person (2) mittels eines handelsüblichen Erfassungsgerätes für Pulsfrequenz, Blutdruck, Körpertemperatur laufend erfasst und als Eingabeparameter an die Steuerung der Anlage (4) übermittelt und optional auf einem Display angezeigt.As Figure 1 shows, the recordable data of the body functions of the user (2) are continuously recorded using a commercially available recording device for pulse rate, blood pressure, body temperature and transmitted as input parameters to the control system of the system (4) and optionally shown on a display.

Die erhöhte Wassertemperatur eines Whirlpools beispielsweise fuhrt zu einer erhöhten Pulsfrequenz und zu erhöhtem Blutdruck und wirkt damit kreislaufbelastend. Diese erwünschte Wirkung soll jedoch nicht über ein bestimmtes, vom medizinischen Standpunkt aus sinnvolles Maß hinaus erfolgen. Jeder Körper reagiert naturgemäß auf eine solche Anwendung unterschiedlich. Um für jeden Benutzer eine individuell optimal abgestimmte Wirkungsweise zu ermöglichen, wird die Wasserheizung (7) und damit die Wassertemperatur durch die erfindungsgemäße Steuerung (4) in Abhängigkeit der körperindividuell erfassten Parameter: Pulsfrequenz, Blutdruck und Körpertemperatur, der Zeit (3), der fixen Personenangaben (1) geregelt.The increased water temperature of a whirlpool, for example, leads to an increased pulse rate and increased blood pressure, thus putting a strain on the circulatory system. However, this desired effect should not exceed a certain level that is medically reasonable. Every body naturally reacts differently to such an application. In order to enable an individually optimally coordinated effect for every user, the water heating (7) and thus the water temperature are regulated by the control system (4) according to the invention depending on the parameters recorded for each individual body: pulse rate, blood pressure and body temperature, time (3), and fixed personal information (1).

Auf gleiche Weise werden die weiteren Aggregate wie z.B. Dampfgenerator, Luftheizung (6), Wasserpumpe (5) etc. geregelt.The other units such as steam generator, air heater (6), water pump (5) etc. are controlled in the same way.

Die Anwendung der Anlage wird somit in ihrer Wirkung auf die individuellen Gegebenheiten optimal abgestimmt. Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist im Schutzanspruch 2 angegeben.The application of the system is thus optimally tailored to the individual circumstances. An advantageous embodiment of the invention is specified in claim 2.

Die fixen Angaben über die benutzenden Personen (1) wie Alter, Geschlecht und Gewicht werden manuell in die Steuerung eingegeben und als Regel-Parameter herangezogen.The fixed information about the users (1) such as age, gender and weight are entered manually into the control system and used as control parameters.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist im Schutzanspruch 3 angegeben.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is specified in claim 3.

Alle relevanten Daten, die zur Regelung der Anlage herangezogen werden, werden auf einem Display angezeigt.All relevant data used to control the system is shown on a display.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist im Schutzanspruch 4 angegeben.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is specified in claim 4.

Die vorliegenden Parameter werden umgerechnet zu Energiewerten, die die Belastung der benutzenden Person widerspiegeln oder in verbrauchte Kalorien. Diese Angabe geben dem Benutzer einen Anhaltspunkt über die erzielte Wirkung der Benutzung.The parameters presented are converted into energy values that reflect the load exerted by the user or into calories burned. This information gives the user an indication of the effect achieved by use.

Eine weitere vorteilhate Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist im Schutzanspruch 5 angegeben.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is specified in claim 5.

Die Übermittlung der am Körper erfassten Daten zur Steuerung erfolgt drahtlos, d.h. über eine Infrarot-Übermittlung oder eine andere drahtlose Übermittlung.The data recorded on the body is transmitted to the control system wirelessly, i.e. via infrared transmission or another wireless transmission.
