DETAILED ILLUSTRATION OF AN EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

[0021] A preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in the attached figures. More specifically, the smart spa shower column, which is the object covered by this report, is characterised in that it comprises a compartment (8) containing a roller (2) that is cleaned by pressure by means of a perforated tube (9) and which is located in the lower part of a chassis (1) that houses a motor, spindle and the elements needed to move a roller (2) which is attached to a lifting carriage (6a) by means of arms (2b) or brackets (2a) which run along guides (1a) located on the sides of said chassis (1), which will determine the length of the total displacement of the roller (2); in one of the arms (2a) a motor that provides the roller (2) with turning movement is housed; and wherein, in another arm (2b) a mechanism for blocking the roller (2) in its stop position is housed; and wherein, in said arm (2b) there is a hose or pipe that provides water and/or soap to the roller (2).

[0022] The chassis (1) will incorporate a front panel (1b) made of methacrylate or some other material with equivalent mechanical characteristics, which will protect the components housed therein and which will contain a series of recesses to house the elements that are accessible to the user, such as, for example, the tablet (4).

[0023] In a particular embodiment, the front panel (1b) will be a chromotherapy screen, operated by means of an application integrated into the tablet (4) or any other electronic device.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the roller (2), will preferably be composed of a hollow latex cylinder (23) covered by fabric and filled with air, in such a way that it adapts in the best possible way to the user's body, although other materials with equivalent mechanical characteristics are not ruled out. Similarly, the roller (2) is also composed of a shaft (21) that is coupled to the arms (2a, 2b) to transmit rotation, two rigid covers (22) that serve to support the assembly, and finally, a valve (24) that is responsible for pressurising the air that fills the roller (2).

[0025] On the upper part of the chassis (1) there is a solidarily attached shower system (3) which incorporates a rain, waterfall or similar type of head (3a), and which is essentially composed of an electronic tap, controllable by means of a tablet (4) which incorporates an integrated computer application which controls the different components of the system, such as, for example, the movement of the trolley (6a), the water temperature, etc.

[0026] The column recommended here incorporates at least one presence sensor (5) that determines the height of the user to ensure that the roller (2) goes no further than the height of the user's neck. In a practical embodiment, the sensor (5) will be an ultrasonic sensor. In addition, in its lower part, the column incorporates a compartment (8) containing a roller (2) which cleans it by pressure by means of a perforated tube (9) after each use.

[0027] The tablet (4) is located on the front (1b) at a convenient height to allow it to be easily handled by the user and where it will be permanently charged for optimum operation. The tablet is removable so that it can be used as a remote control. Independently and as an alternative, the shower application can be downloaded from any of the currently existing repositories for installation on your own devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.) so that you can control the smart shower, without detriment to the individuality, ownership and security to which the user is entitled.

[0028] On the front panel (1b), at a convenient height, there is a soap tank (6) that feeds the roller (2) through a dispenser system, supplying it with water and soap as desired.

[0029] On the front panel (1b), at a convenient height, there is a tank for essential oils (7) or a similar product that will be used to provide aromatherapy.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the chassis (1) is made of stainless steel or another material with equivalent mechanical characteristics and will incorporate a series of anchorages that will allow it to be placed on any wall fitted for this purpose.
