Is configured to be able to prevent over-rotation of the upper ring member 3b by abutting and engaging with the anti-rotation engaging portion 13 provided in the nozzle body 1, and is embedded in the road surface, such as a vehicle. Therefore, the rotation of the upper ring member 3b reliably prevents the screw 7a and the screwing portion 4a of the valve body 7 from loosening, thereby further improving safety.

  Further, for example, when a rotation prevention mechanism for preventing the rotation of the lower ring member 3a or the upper ring member 3b is provided between the lower ring member 3a and the upper ring member 3b, the lower ring member The rotation of the member 3a or the upper ring member 3b can be reliably prevented, and the play of the ring member 3 and the loosening of the screwing associated therewith can be surely prevented. .

  Therefore, the present invention can perform good watering by the bypass passage even if the watering passage is clogged with foreign substances and can prevent excessive watering, and can easily manage the bypass passage and easily eliminate clogging. Therefore, it becomes a watering nozzle with excellent practicality that can achieve a long service life by taking advantage of its good maintainability.

Cleaning of this sprinkling channel 6 can be performed very easily.

  Further, the water sprinkling path 6 is configured so that water can be sprinkled simultaneously in a plurality of directions from the tip of the nozzle body 1. That is, by providing a plurality between the inner peripheral surface of the lower ring member 3a and the outer peripheral surface of the upper ring member 3b, watering for snow removal and the like can be performed efficiently. Specifically, it is a configuration in which a plurality are provided at predetermined intervals. In the present embodiment, it is configured to be provided at four locations at intervals of 90 degrees.

  The enormous space 10 is provided between the inner peripheral surface of the fitting recess 8 of the nozzle body 1 and the outer peripheral surface of the lower ring member 3a, and the upper end of the engaging recess 8 of the nozzle body 1 of the enormous space 10 is provided.

Furthermore, only the lower ring member 3a needs to be processed, so that the productivity is also improved. Cost will be lower.

  In this embodiment, the water that has passed through the bypass passage 11 is temporarily stopped in the enormous space 10 between the inner peripheral surface of the fitting recess 8 of the nozzle body 1 and the outer peripheral surface of the lower ring member 3a. It is the structure which discharges to the outside outside.

  Specifically, a portion facing the opening of the other end of the bypass passage 11 of the lower ring member 3a and the opening of the other end of the fitting recess 8 of the nozzle body 1 is set as a slightly recessed recess, The space formed by the recesses is set as a stopping portion 10a where water discharged outside through the bypass passage 11 stops, and the water introduced from the bypass passage 11 once flows in the stopping portion. Is changed from the axial direction of the bypass passage 11 to the circumferential direction of the nozzle body 1 (the extending direction of the enormous space portion 10), and then water is oozed and discharged from the gap 10b of the enormous space portion 10 around the nozzle body 1 It is configured as follows.

  Accordingly, the water passing through one bypass passage 11 is discharged to the entire circumference of the nozzle body 1 through the enormous space portion 10, and even if there is a lot of water flowing through this bypass passage 11, this water is a little around the periphery. It is possible to set so that bleeding is discharged one by one.

  In addition, in this embodiment, the resistance of the path through which water is discharged to the outside through the bypass path 11 is the path of the path through which water passes when the water is discharged to the outside through the sprinkling path 6. If it is set to be larger than the resistance and watering from the sprinkling channel 6 can be performed normally, the amount of water discharged to the outside through the bypass channel 11 is small, and the sprinkling water is blocked by foreign matter in the sprinkling channel 6. When the water discharge becomes impossible or the water spray amount decreases, the amount of water discharged to the outside through the bypass passage 11 is set to be large.

  Specifically, by setting the area of the gap 10b of the enormous space portion 10 to be smaller than the area of the sprinkling passage 6, it passes through the bypass passage 11 when discharged to the outside of the nozzle body 1. It sets so that resistance of a course may become large, and it sets so that the amount of watering from sprinkling channel 6 may increase.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, when watering from the watering channel 6 is inhibited, the amount of water discharged to the outside through the bypass channel 11 communicating with the watering channel 6 can be increased. By discharging from the channel 11, it is possible to reliably prevent an excessive increase in the amount of water sprayed from the other water spray channels 6 in which water is discharged well and water spraying is not hindered.

The characteristics of the type can be fully utilized, and it is not necessary to replace the nozzle main body 1 or the ring member 3 with a new one every time the bypass passage 11 is clogged with foreign matter, thereby extending the life of the watering nozzle.

  That is, unlike the present embodiment, in the conventional integral ring member, the bypass channel communicating with the water spray channel is always at one end, that is, the communication portion between the water spray channel and the bypass channel is on the water spray channel side. Even if it is removed from the nozzle body, one end of the bypass passage is not exposed, and it was not easy to remove foreign substances clogged in the bypass passage, but in this embodiment, the ring member 3 is formed separately in upper and lower parts, It is possible to set the communicating portion between the water sprinkling channel 6 and the bypass channel 11 so as to be positioned between the lower ring member 3a and the upper ring member 3b. Therefore, by disassembling the ring member 3 into upper and lower members. Both ends of the bypass passage 11 can be exposed, and the bypass passage 11 can be easily cleaned.

  Moreover, since the straight hole which connects the said water sprinkling path 6 and the exterior of the nozzle main body 1 was drilled in the said lower ring member 3a, and this straight hole was set to the water sprinkling path 6, it bypasses a linear rod-shaped body. The foreign matter clogged in the bypass passage 11 can be removed very simply by inserting it into the passage 11.

  The lower ring member 3a is provided with a through hole having one end opened on the inner circumferential surface of the lower ring member 3a and the other end opened on the outer circumferential surface of the lower ring member 3a. The nozzle body is set so as to incline downward from one end side toward the other end side, this through hole is set in the bypass passage 11, and the nozzle body that passes when the water passing through the bypass passage 11 flows out to the outside Since the enormous space 10 is provided between the inner peripheral surface of one fitting recess 8 and the outer peripheral surface of the lower ring member 3a, the outer peripheral surface of the lower ring member 3a and the fitting recess 8 of the nozzle body 1 are provided. Water can be discharged from between the inner peripheral surface, the water that has passed through the bypass passage 11 can be discharged to the periphery of the nozzle body 1, and excessive water spraying from a predetermined portion can be reliably prevented.

  Further, the upper ring member 3b that rotates around the valve body 7 and the nozzle body 1 are provided with anti-rotation locking portions 12 and 13, respectively, and the anti-rotation locking portion 12 provided on the upper ring member 3b includes the anti-rotation locking portion 12 described above. Since the upper ring member 3b can be prevented from over-rotating by abutting and locking with the anti-rotation locking portion 13 provided in the nozzle body 1, the upper ring is buried in the road surface and is By rotating the member 3b, the screw 7a and the screwing portion 4a of the valve body 7 are reliably prevented from loosening, and the safety is further improved.

  Further, since the rotation preventing mechanism for preventing the rotation of the lower ring member 3a or the upper ring member 3b is provided between the lower ring member 3a and the upper ring member 3b, the lower ring member 3a or the upper ring member 3b is provided. The rotation of the member 3b can be surely prevented, and rattling of the ring member 3 and the accompanying loosening of the screw can be surely prevented, thereby further improving safety.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, even if the watering path is clogged with foreign substances, water can be well sprayed by the bypass path and excessive watering can be prevented, and this bypass path can be easily managed and clogging can be easily eliminated. Therefore, it is a watering nozzle that is excellent in practicality and can achieve a long service life by taking advantage of its good maintainability.
