Abstract:
1. A portable one-to-many control device for a sprinkler pipeline, comprising: a) a plurality of sprinkling pipes with a control valve fitted to each of the sprinkling pipes for controlling the on/off state of the sprinkling water; and b) an electromagnetic solenoid positioned on the control valve, the electromagnetic solenoid having a shaft stopper for opening or closing a bypass passage, thereby raising or lowering a valve body within the control valve as well as enabling the sprinkling waterflow in a passing-through state or in a blocked state, wherein a mounting body sits on the top of the control valve, and the mounting body is shaped higher than the electromagnetic solenoid; wherein a memory and drive unit is positioned within the mounting body and powered by a battery, and a first transmission interface is provided at the front end of the first transmission interface while the rear end thereof is in electric connection to the electromagnetic solenoid, and the memory and drive unit is employed for saving data and for activating the electromagnetic solenoid at a preset time to raise/lower the shaft stopper; wherein a portable control instrument includes a housing corresponding to the mounting body, a display screen positioned on the surface of the housing, an operation interface, and a connection port, and wherein a second transmission interface is disposed at the bottom of the housing, and when the portable control instrument approaches to the mounting body, the second transmission interface can be electrically connected to the first transmission interface of the memory and drive unit, and wherein a microprocessor is positioned within the housing and electrically connected to the operation interface, the connection port, and the second transmission interface, and wherein the housing internally includes a DC power source for supplying the electric power to the display screen and the microprocessor, whereby the portable control instrument can be movably and electrically connected to the memory and drive unit of the different control valves; according to the data in the microprocessor and the different requirements of the control valves, the preset instructions can be transmitted and saved in the memory and drive unit for controlling the activation time of the electromagnetic solenoids, respectively; accordingly, many control valves can be set and controlled by only one portable control instrument; wherein the DC power source of the portable control instrument includes a battery and an accumulator positioned within the housing, and wherein the accumulator has a charging port which is electrically connectable to an external power source for executing the charging process.
