Abstract

A water stream stop valve for a sprinkler includes a tube body, an annular cover, multiple securing units, and a drainage body having a hole at the center thereof, is arranged above the tube body by multiple support plates. The water stream stop valve is incorporated in a pop-up sprinkler that includes a main body, an expansion pipe with a stop member arranged at top internal diameter thereof, a spray head, and the water stream stop valve arranged inside the expansion pipe and below the spray head. When the spray head falls off expansion pipe, the water stream stop valve will be pushed up to the top of the expansion pipe and stop at the stop member for avoiding the overflow of water while maintaining the spraying at the original area, and delivering a service indication stream.

Claims (8)

1. A water stream stop valve for a sprinkler, comprising:

a tube body;

an annular cover arranged on an outer periphery of the tube body;

multiple securing units arranged vertically on the outer periphery of the tube body; and

a drainage body is arranged above the tube body by multiple support plates, a hole is formed at a center of the drainage body and a diameter of the hole is smaller than a top internal diameter of the tube body;

wherein the water stream stop valve is installed in a pop-up sprinkler, and the pop-up sprinkler includes a main body, an expansion pipe arranged on the main body having a stop member arranged at a top internal diameter of the expansion pipe, a spray head arranged at a top edge of the expansion pipe; and the water stream stop valve is arranged inside the expansion pipe and below the spray head; whereby responsive to the spray head being displaced from the expansion pipe during spraying, the water stream stop valve is pushed up to the top of the expansion pipe by water pressure, stops at the stop member for avoiding an overflow of water, and maintains spraying of water, delivering a service indication stream of water.

2. The water stream stop valve for a sprinkler as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the internal diameter of the tube body gradually shrinks from bottom to top.

3. The water stream stop valve for a sprinkler as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a bottom surface of the drainage body incliningly extends away from the multiple support plates toward an outer periphery of the drainage body.
