Abstract

A controlling device for a rotating sprinkler is composed of a sleeve (10), a compressing block (21), a spring (22), a controller (23), a rotator (24), a cushion (25), and a shelter ring (26). The rotator (24) rotates with a rotating sprinkler (50) synchronously and operates with the controller (23) to construct a gap selectively therebetween so that a quantity of water flowing into the rotating sprinkler (50) is changed when the gap is formed or not. Whereby the controlling device arranges a substantially rectangular spraying arrangement of the rotating sprinkler (50).
