Abstract

A sprinkler structure contains: an accommodation tube, multiple water outflow zones, multiple grooved partitions, multiple first water gathering zones, and multiple second water gathering zones. Each first water gathering zone has a first inlet, and each second water gathering zone has a second inlet, the accommodation tube includes multiple first guide orifices and multiple second guide orifices. Each first guide orifice communicates with the accommodation tube, and each second guide orifice communicates with the accommodation tube, hence a control bar is rotatably connected and horizontally moves in each first guide orifice and each second guide orifice. The control bar further includes an inflow chamber and a receiving portion for housing a stop element, such that the stop element abuts against each first water gathering zone and each second water gathering zone. The control bar further includes two seal rings, and the accommodation tube further includes an elongated lid.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A sprinkler structure comprising:
an accommodation tube, multiple water outflow zones separately defined on a middle section of a top of the accommodation tube, multiple grooved partitions arranged on two ends of the top of the accommodation tube respectively, multiple first water gathering zones and multiple second water gathering zones which are defined inside the multiple grooved partitions individually, wherein each of the multiple first water gathering zones has a first inlet defined on a bottom thereof and communicating with the accommodation tube, and each of the multiple second water gathering zones has a second inlet defined on a bottom thereof and communicating with the accommodation tube, the accommodation tube includes multiple first guide orifices arranged on a first peripheral side thereof, and the accommodation tube includes multiple second guide orifices arranged on a second peripheral side thereof, wherein each of the multiple first guide orifices is located below two sides of each first water gathering zone and communicates with the accommodation tube, and each of the multiple second guide orifices is located below two sides of each second water gathering zone and communicates with the accommodation tube, hence one of a plurality of control bars is rotatably connected and horizontally moves in each first guide orifice and each second guide orifice; each of the control bars includes an inflow chamber defined on a top thereof and includes a receiving portion formed on a side of the inflow chamber so as to house a stop element, such that the stop element abuts against a bottom of each first water gathering zone and of each second water gathering zone, each of the control bars further includes two seal rings accommodated thereon and individually abutting against each first guide orifice and each second guide orifice, the accommodation tube further includes an elongated lid connected on the top of the accommodation tube so as to cover and separate the multiple water outflow zones, the multiple first water gathering zones, and the multiple second water gathering zones, wherein the elongated lid includes multiple nozzle elements formed on a top thereof, each first water gathering zone communicates with one or more than one nozzle element, and each second water gathering zone communicates with one or more than one nozzle element.

2. The sprinkler structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a bottom of each first water gathering zone and of each second water gathering zone is flat, and each of the control bars includes a plane defined on a top thereof so as to match with the accommodation tube.

3. The sprinkler structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a stop element is made of a flexible rubber.

4. The sprinkler structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a tip of each of the multiple nozzle elements is higher than a tilted peripheral side of an upper end of each nozzle element.

5. The sprinkler structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the control bars includes two fitting sections respectively arranged on two ends thereof and fitting with two push elements, each of the two push elements has a column extending therein so as to fit with each fitting section of each of the control bars, and a notch is defined by an inner wall of each push element and an outer wall of the column so as to connect with each first guide orifice or each second guide orifice.

6. The sprinkler structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inflow chamber of each of the control bars is formed in a hole shape.

7. The sprinkler structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the receiving portion of each of the control bars includes a square coupling zone formed on a top thereof, a connection section defined on a middle section of the receiving portion and a diameter of the connection section being less than the square coupling zone, and a through orifice defined on a bottom of the receiving portion and a diameter of the through orifice being more than the connection section; the stop element is square and is accommodated in the square coupling zone, and the stop element has a foot extending outwardly from a bottom thereof so as to fit with the connection section.

8. The sprinkler structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein any two adjacent of the multiple nozzle elements are obliquely and separately arranged on two sides of a top of the elongated lid.

9. The sprinkler structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein any two adjacent of the multiple nozzle elements are separately arranged on two sides of a top of the elongated lid.

10. A sprinkler structure comprising: an accommodation tube including multiple water gathering zones so as to match with one of a plurality of control bars, each of the multiple water gathering zones having an inlet defined on a bottom of each water gathering zone and communicates with the matching control bar, wherein the accommodation tube includes multiple first guide orifices arranged on a first peripheral side thereof, and the accommodation tube includes multiple second guide orifices arranged on a second peripheral side thereof, wherein each of the multiple first guide orifices is located below two sides of each water gathering zone adjacent to the first peripheral side of the accommodation tube and communicates with the accommodation tube, and each of the multiple second guide orifices is located below two sides of each water gathering zone adjacent to the second peripheral side of the accommodation tube and communicates with the accommodation tube, hence one of the control bars is rotatably connected and horizontally moves in each first guide orifice and each second guide orifice; each of the control bars includes an inflow chamber defined on a top thereof and includes a receiving portion formed on a side of the inflow chamber so as to house a stop element, such that the stop element abuts against a bottom of each water gathering zone, each of the control bars further includes two seal rings accommodated thereon and individually abutting against each first guide orifice and each second guide orifice, the accommodation tube further includes an elongated lid connected on the top of the accommodation tube so as to cover and separate the multiple water gathering zones, wherein each water gathering zone communicates with two or more than two nozzle elements, hence the inflow chamber and the stop element are pushed by the corresponding control bar to control water to flow or not flow into the water gathering zone, thus controlling a number of the multiple nozzle elements where water sprays out.

11. The sprinkler structure as claimed in claim 10 , wherein a bottom of each water gathering zone is flat, and the control bar includes a plane defined on a top thereof so as to match with the accommodation tube.

12. The sprinkler structure as claimed in claim 10 , wherein a stop element is made of a flexible rubber.

13. The sprinkler structure as claimed in claim 10 , wherein a tip of each of the multiple nozzle elements is higher than a tilted peripheral side of an upper end of each nozzle element.

14. The sprinkler structure as claimed in claim 10 , wherein each of the control bars includes two fitting sections respectively arranged on two ends thereof and fitting with two push elements, each of the two push elements has a column extending therein so as to fit with each fitting section of the corresponding control bar, and a notch is defined by an inner wall of each push element and an outer wall of the column so as to connect with each first guide orifice or each second guide orifice.
