The present invention relates to a gardening sprinkler, and more particularly to a gardening sprinkler with an adjusting valve.
In order to avoid plants drying up and dying due to lack of water, watering routine is a very frequent and important gardening work. Usually the plants are planted in a wide range or a certain distance from the water source, therefore, the water hose extension is employed and connected to the water via a connector, then the water hose is connected to the sprinkler device.
Typical sprinklers usually directly uses the grip pressure to control the opening and closing of the water flow or adjusting the amount of the water outlet, and the fingers must tightly hold the button or the handle during use, which is quite inconvenient to use.
Therefore, it is desirable to provide a gardening sprinkler to mitigate and/or obviate the aforementioned problems.
An objective of present invention is to provide a gardening sprinkler which is capable of improving the above-mention problems.
In order to achieve the above mentioned objective, a gardening sprinkler has a main body, an adjusting valve and an output unit.
The main body has an input portion and an output portion at respective ends, the output portion comprising the output unit, and a flow channel disposed between the input portion and the output portion; when the input portion of the main body is connected to a water source, water flows through the flow channel, the output portion and the output unit, and a flow control aperture passing through the main body and connecting to the flow channel is disposed between the input portion and the output portion, for accepting the adjusting valve. The adjusting valve has a shaft bolt and a positioning sleeve respectively combined from two opposite sides of the flow control aperture, a stopping edge disposed respectively on the shaft bolt and the positioning sleeve limiting movement of the shaft bolt such that the adjusting valve is only capable of moving in the flow control aperture without escaping; furthermore, both of the shaft bolt and the positioning sleeve are respectively jacketed with at least one sealing washer, and the shaft bolt has a blocking portion and a passing portion with a smaller diameter.
Other objects, advantages, and novel features of invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
First, please refer to
Moreover, the flow control aperture 14 passes through an upper and a lower edge of the main body 10.
Alternatively, the flow control aperture 14 passes through a left and a right edge of the main body 10.
Furthermore, the shaft bolt 21 and the positioning sleeve 22 are combined by a high-frequency induction hardening process.
In addition, the passing portion 213 of the shaft bolt 21 is a cross bar and combined with the positioning sleeve 22.
Also, one end of the positioning sleeve 22 has a socket 222 for accepting the passing portion 213.
Furthermore, the output unit further 30 comprises an outlet pipe 31 mounted on the output portion 12, a fixing ring 32, an outlet end 33 and a knob 34, and an outlet pipe seat 35 and a sealing sleeve 36 are disposed between the outlet pipe 31 and the main body 10.
Moreover, the main body 10, the outlet pipe 31, the fixing ring 32, and an outlet end 33 are all screwed together, and the knob 34 is screwed onto a front end of the outlet pipe 31.
During actual operation, the adjusting valve 20 is pressed and pushed in one direction with a finger, so that the blocking portion 212 can gradually uncover the flow channel 13 during the moving process of the adjusting valve, to send the water entering the main body 10 to flow into the output portion 12 through the passing portion 213 to be further ejected from the output unit 30 (As shown in
By the structure of the above-mentioned specific embodiment, the following benefits can be obtained: 1. With the adjusting valve 20, it is not necessary to press the gardening sprinkler all the time, and the water can still be smoothly discharged, which is more labor-saving in use, effectively reduces the burden on the hands and keeps the water supply at a certain flux amount. 2. The adjusting valve 20 utilizes the connection between the shaft bolt 21 and the positioning sleeve 22 to achieve the advantages of simple structure and faster assembly.
Although the present invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of invention as hereinafter claimed.
