  • Publication number: 20140042244
    Abstract: An impingement sprinkler is provided wherein the first and second limiting pieces of the rotation limiting mechanism are configured with first and second stopping portions extending along the swinging path. As such, when the main body slants upward or downward, the poking rod portion can always contact the first and second stopping portions. Therefore, the first or second limiting pieces can interfere with the poking rod portion and maintain the function of the main body to shift turning directions. In this way, no matter whether the main body slants upward or downward, it can substantially execute the turning action to sprinkle the surroundings. Hence, the practical utility and usage convenience of the product is greatly enhanced.

  • Patent number: 8649420
    Abstract: A data-processing module can handle a predetermined command transmitted by a corresponding main controller through a command serial signal or a clock signal. When the predetermined command represents “command-latching”, the data-processing module controls a command register to store the data transmitted by a section of the command serial signal temporarily stored in an FIFO buffering circuit for latching command. When the predetermined command represents “data-latching”, the data-processing module controls a command register to store the data transmitted by the section of the command serial signal temporarily stored in the FIFO buffering circuit for latching data. In this way, the data-processing module can control the command register to latch command or the data register to latch data without a redundant pin for receiving latching signals transmitted by the main controller, reducing the cost of the data-processing module.

  • Publication number: 20140014739
    Abstract: An impingement sprinkler has a main body, guiding member, tilting regulator, steering control member and steering limiter. The tilting regulator is arranged between the support of main body and the tubing portion on the lower end of the main body, so that the main body can be tilted to change the outflow angle of sprinkler head. The guiding member is located on the support of main body, driving the steering of the main body. The steering control member is installed on one side of the support of the main body to change the rotational direction of the main body. When the main body is tilted, the poke rod of steering control member could be maintained into the limiting ring frame, so that the first or the second limiting member could intervene the poke rod to make the main body retain the steering action.
