NON-INVASIVE SPRINKLER

摘要

Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for an in-ground sprinkler to controller a liquid flow rate through a chamber, while reducing or eliminating leakage. Embodiments may utilize a flat, external surface that is configured to be flush with a ground surface to control the liquid flow rate through the in-ground sprinkler. In embodiments, a permanent magnet may be positioned on the flat, external surface to control an internal patch system. Responsive to the permanent magnet controlling the internal patch, liquid flowing through the chamber may be controlled.

主权项

1. A non-invasive in-ground sprinkler system comprising:
a passageway with an inlet port configured to receive liquid, and an outlet port configured to disperse the liquid; a plunger being positioned within the passageway, a first end of the plunger being to be positioned flush against the outlet port in a first mode, and the first end of the plunger being configured to be positioned away from the outlet port in a second mode; a control element configured to move the plunger between the first mode and the second mode responsive to positioning; a permanent magnet configured to control the control element, wherein removal of the permanent magnet from a position above the control element does not cause the plunger to move to the first mode.
