Abstract
A sectional swimming pool includes an inner wall unit having an interconnecting section and two side sections connected to two lateral connecting edges of the interconnecting section with a water-sealing packing strip disposed at each joint of the interconnecting section and the side sections; and an outer wall unit connected to and enclosing four outer sides of the inner wall unit to form a space between the two wall units. The water-sealing packing strips prevent water contained in the inner wall unit from leaking via the joints of the interconnecting section and the side sections, and the space between the two wall units allow easy assembling and future maintenance of the sectional swimming pool.
Description
- The present invention relates to a sectional swimming pool, and more particularly to a sectional swimming pool that has simple and watertight structure to enable easy assembling and future maintenance thereof.
- A conventional sectional swimming pool usually includes a main body formed by assembling a plurality of wall units together and provided with more than one water outlet and water inlet; a water circulating and filtering system; a water pipe system connected to the water inlet, the water outlet, and the water circulating and filtering system; and a supporting frame assembly fixedly mounted to outer sides of the main body to reinforce the structure of the main body. Water in the sectional swimming pool may flow from the water outlet to the water circulating and filtering system via the water pipe system for filtering, and the filtered water flows through the water pipe system into the swimming pool via the water inlet.
- The above-described conventional sectional swimming pool provides the advantages of short construction time, low cost, easy to maintain, and easy to modify. However, the main body of the above-described conventional sectional swimming pool has the disadvantages of having too many parts and requiring a lot of time, procedures, and labor to assemble. Moreover, since there are too many joints on the assembled main body, the whole sectional swimming pool tends to have relatively weak structural strength and is subject to leakage.
- It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a sectional swimming pool that has simple and watertight structure to enable easy assembling and future maintenance thereof.
- To achieve the above and other objects, the sectional swimming pool according to the present invention includes an inner wall unit having at least one interconnecting section and a side section connected to each of two lateral connecting edges of the interconnecting section, and a water-sealing packing strip disposed at each joint between the interconnecting section and the side sections; and an outer wall unit having two opposite side wall panels and at least two opposite interconnecting wall panels located between the two side wall panels. The outer wall unit is connected to the inner wall unit to enclose four outer sides of the inner wall unit with a space existed between the outer and the inner wall unit.
- The structure and the technical means adopted by the present invention to achieve the above and other objects can be best understood by referring to the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings, wherein
-
FIG. 1 is an assembled perspective view of an inner wall unit for the sectional swimming pool of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is an exploded view ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is an assembled perspective view of the sectional swimming pool of the present invention formed by assembling an outer wall unit to the inner wall unit ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 is an exploded view ofFIG. 3 ; and -
FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along line A-A ofFIG. 3 . - Please refer to
FIGS. 3 and 4 that are assembled and exploded perspective views of a sectional swimming pool according to the present invention constructed from aninner wall unit 1 and anouter wall unit 2, which may be made of, for example, a fiber-glass material to minimize a total weight of the sectional swimming pool of the present invention. -
FIGS. 1 and 2 are assembled and exploded perspective views, respectively, of theinner wall unit 1 for the sectional swimming pool of the present invention. Theinner wall unit 1 includes at least oneinterconnecting section 11 and aside section 12 connected at an inner connecting edge to each of two lateral connecting edges of theinterconnecting section 11. A water-sealingpacking strip 13 is mounted at each joint of theinterconnecting section 11 and theside sections 12. The interconnectingsection 11 is provided along each of its two lateral and two upper connecting edges with aflange 111, and theside sections 12 are provided along each of their inner and upper connecting edges with aflange 121. Theinterconnecting section 11 and the twoside sections 12 are connected together byfastening elements 14 extended through theflanges interconnecting section 11 and the inner connecting edges of theside sections 12. Theinterconnecting section 11 and theside sections 12 are provided on respective outer wall surfaces with a plurality of reinforcingribs - Please refer to
FIGS. 3 and 4 . Theouter wall unit 2 is connected to the assembledinner wall unit 1 to enclose four outer sides of theinner wall unit 1 with aspace 20 existed between theinner wall unit 1 and theouter wall unit 2. Theouter wall unit 2 includes twoside wall panels 21 for separately connecting to the twoside sections 12 of theinner wall unit 1, and at least two interconnectingwall panels 22 for separately connecting to opposite upper connecting edges of theinterconnecting section 11 of theinner wall unit 1. Theside wall panels 21 are provided along each of their upper, inner, and lower connecting edges with aflange 211, and the interconnectingwall panels 22 are provided along each of their upper, lateral, and lower edges with aflange 221. Theside wall panels 21 and the interconnectingwall panels 22 are connected together byfastening elements 23 extended through theflanges side wall panels 21 and the lateral connecting edges of the interconnectingwall panels 22. Theside wall panels 21 and the interconnectingwall panels 22 are provided on respective inner wall surfaces with a plurality of reinforcingribs wall panels 22 is provided with an opening 223 openably closed with acover 224. -
FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along line A-A ofFIG. 3 . Please refer toFIGS. 3 , 4, and 5 at the same time. To assemble the sectional swimming pool of the present invention, first align theflanges 111 at the lateral connecting edges of the interconnectingsection 11 with theflanges 121 at the inner connecting edges of the twoside sections 12 and then join thealigned flanges fastening elements 14 to form an assembledinner wall unit 1. One water-sealingpacking strip 13 is disposed between each pair of joinedflanges inner wall unit 1 from leaking via the joints of theinterconnecting section 11 and theside sections 12. Thereafter, connect theside wall panels 21 to theside sections 12 by aligning theflanges 211 at the upper connecting edges of theside wall panels 21 with theflanges 121 at the upper connecting edges of theside sections 12 and joining thecorresponding flanges fastening elements 23; and connect the interconnectingwall panels 22 to theinterconnecting section 11 and theside wall panels 21 by aligning theflanges 221 at the upper and lateral connecting edges of the interconnectingwall panels 22 with theflanges interconnecting section 11 and the inner connecting edges of theside wall panels 21, respectively, and joining thecorresponding flanges 221 & 111, 221 & 211 together usingfastening elements 23 to form an assembled sectional swimming pool of the present invention. - With the reinforcing
