The concave portion 39a is formed in a release position where the pressing plate 37 presses the valve shaft 35a and an operating position where the pressing plate 37 does not press the valve shaft 35a, and the projection 38a is fitted into the concave portion 39a at each position.
We are trying to maintain that position.

In such a configuration, the pressing plate 3
When the valve 7 is in the operating position away from the valve shaft 35a, the relief valve 35 maintains the pressure chamber A at the set pressure, discharges the pressurized water from the discharge port 22Fa or 22Ra, rotates the water wheel 23, and oscillates. The moving case D is made to oscillate, and when a water pressure higher than the set pressure is generated due to an abnormality of the pump or a water hammer, the valve body 35b is pushed open by the water pressure to flow directly from the pressure chamber A to the water supply chamber C. , To prevent damage due to pressure.

When the swinging is stopped and the watering operation is performed, the projection 38a of the knob 38 is rotated to the release position where the knob 38 is fitted into the recess 39a, and the pressing plate 37 is moved to the valve shaft 3.
5a, the relief valve 35 is forcibly opened, the pressure difference between the pressure chamber A and the water supply chamber C is eliminated, and the water wheel 23 is rotated without discharging from the discharge port 22Fa or 22Ra. Don't do it.

During the sprinkling, the sprinkler 1
4 is rotated 360 °, so that in a state other than vertical, the water is discharged toward the ground at the lower sprinkling position, and it becomes useless.
The second axis Q that is the rotation axis of the sprinkler 14 is set to be substantially vertical so that water can be sprinkled in the horizontal plane direction. The relief valve 35 is opened and the swing case D
A detent mechanism 40 is provided between the bearing case 10 and the swing case D so that the swing drive can be held at the top dead center when the swing drive is stopped. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the bearing case 10L (10R) and the sprinkler case 11
(Gear case 12), the bearing case 1
A concave portion 40a into which the ball is fitted is formed on the inner peripheral surface of 0L,
The spring 40b and the ball 40c are arranged in the sprinkler case 11, and are arranged so that the ball 40c fits into the concave portion 40a in accordance with the position where the sprinkler 14 is located at the top dead center. However, this detent force is smaller than the torque for rotating the water wheel 23 and rotating the sprinkler case 11.

The upper portion of the sprinkler case 11 forms a concave portion 11a to form a plane for mounting the sprinkler 14. An insertion hole communicating with the water supply chamber C is opened at the center of the concave portion 11a. The base pipe 15 is screwed. In this way, the sprinkler 14 is arranged as close to the first axis P as possible, so that the moment of vertical swing is reduced.

Next, the structure of the sprinkler 14 is shown in FIG.
3 and FIG. A shaft 41a at the lower part of the main body 41 is rotatably fitted on the base pipe 15, and the shaft 41
a spring 42 is interposed on the main body 4.
1 is urged at a constant pressure so as not to rotate. A nozzle 16 is disposed in the middle of the main body 41 so as to be discharged to the side at a set angle above a horizontal plane.

Further, on the upper portion of the main body 41, a gate-shaped support portion 4 is provided.
1b, a pivotal shaft 41c coinciding with the second axis Q is provided at the center of the support portion 41, and a reaction arm 43 is rotatably supported on the pivotal shaft 41c. It is urged to rotate toward the nozzle 16 by a spring 47 fitted on the outer periphery, and is stopped by the support portion 41b. One end of the reaction arm 43 is extended to the outlet of the nozzle 16 and provided with a guide portion 43a for taking in a part of the liquid to be discharged and guiding it as shown by an arrow in FIG.
The weight 43b is fixed, and a contact portion 43c is formed below the weight 43b.

The restricting body 44 is pivotally supported by a pivot 48 projecting from the side of the main body 41, and a restricting plate 44a at one end (right side in FIG. 13) of the restricting body 44 is provided with a rotation restricting protruding from the side of the main body. The other end is inserted between the pins 50U and 50D.
3c extends downward. A lever arm 49 is further pivotally supported on the pivot shaft 48. A regulating rod 49a at one end of the lever arm 49 is inserted between the rotation regulating pins 50U and 50D. Switching lever 45
Is rotatably mounted and protruded downward, and pivotally supports a rod 51 at the other end of the lever arm 49.
The other side is slidably inserted into the regulating body 44, and a spring 52 is fitted between the regulating bodies 44 on the rod 51.

The cams 46, 46 for setting a rotation angle (θ2) on the upper surface of the concave portion 11a of the sprinkler case 11 on the rotation locus of the switching lever 45 about the second axis Q. 3) is provided. This cam 46
Reference numeral 46 denotes a plane fixed on the sprinkler case 11 on the same circumference centered on the axis Q, and is fixed at a position where the switching lever 45 abuts, and sets the rotation angle of the sprinkler 14. A long hole 46a is opened in the cam 46 and is fixed by a screw. The rotation angle can be changed by changing the fixing position of the long hole. By providing the cam 46 on the sprinkler case 11 side, the height of the sprinkler 14 can be kept low and close to the first axis P, and the inertia moment due to the own weight of the sprinkler 14 itself and the reaction force due to discharge can be reduced. ing.

In such a configuration, the switching lever 45
Is in the J position (FIG. 13), a part of the liquid discharged from the nozzle 16 hits the guide portion 43a, and the water pressure causes the reaction arm 43 to oppose the spring 47 in the direction of arrow M (4).
3 '). In this position, since the position is not hit by the water discharged from the nozzle 16, the main body 41 is rotated back to the original position by the force of the spring 47, and the reaction arm 43 hits the support portion 41b and the main body 41 is turned in the N direction by the inertia force. Move. At this time, the main body 41 can be stably rotated by being braked by the spring 42 fitted to the shaft portion 41a. Then, since the guide portion 43a returns to the original position, the guide portion 43a is again rotated in the M direction by the water discharge pressure. This operation is repeated, and the main body 41 is gradually rotated rightward.

When the switching lever 45 is rotated in such a manner as to come into contact with the cam 46, the lever arm 49 comes into contact with the rotation regulating pin 50U, and the switching lever 45 stops at the K position. At this time, the regulating rod 49b is pivoted downward so that the rod 51 exceeds the dead center, and the urging force of the spring 52 causes the regulating body 44 to pivot upward and the regulating plate 44 at the other end.
a is rotated downward, abuts against the rotation restricting pin 50D, and stops. When the regulating body 44 pivots upward in this manner, the contact portion 43c of the reaction arm 43 comes into contact with the regulation body 44, and the reaction arm 43 cannot rotate in the M direction due to water discharge. The rotating force in the M direction can rotate the main body 41 in the M direction and rotate the sprinkler 14 in the opposite direction. When the switching lever 45 comes into contact with the cam 46 and is rotated from the K position to the J position, the regulating body 44 is rotated.
Is lowered, and the sprinkler 14 rotates in the N direction. Thus, the reciprocating rotation is repeated.

When the switching lever 45 is rotated to the H position, the switching lever 45 cannot contact the cam 46 and rotates only in the same direction so as not to be inverted. This state is the watering position, and as described above, 3
The knob 38 is rotated to open the relief valve 35 so that the sprinkler 14 does not discharge water to the ground even if it is rotated by 60 °, so that the second axis Q that is the rotation axis of the sprinkler 14 becomes vertical. Move, hold by the detent mechanism 40,
We are doing watering work.

[0031]

As described above, the present invention has the following advantages. That is, a sprinkler is arranged on a swinging case, the swinging case can be swung up and down at a set angle about a first axis in the left-right direction, and the sprinkler is moved with respect to the first axis. Because it is configured to be able to swing at a set angle in the left and right direction around the second axis in the right angle direction and the second axis is substantially vertical at the top dead center of the swing of the swing case. When the sprinkler is at the position of the top dead center, the liquid spouted from the sprinkler gradually rises upward from the horizontal direction, and is not discharged toward the ground, eliminating waste of the liquid. The holding position of the sprinkler can be clarified.

Since the swinging case is stopped at the top dead center and the sprinkler is rotated in a horizontal plane to discharge water, a stand or the like supporting the sprinkler does not hinder the conventional sprinkler. Can be sprinkled in the same way as the installation method, and not only the control work but also the sprinkling work can be performed.
