A hydraulic pressure-actuated distribution valve apparatus is disclosed to have a valve body with a water entrance and a number of distribution water exits. The apparatus includes an irrigation water distribution valve mechanism that comprises a one-way clutch means that includes a rotating rod pivotally rotatable inside the valve body and a rotating disk engage with the rotating rod for one-way rotation. The distribution valve apparatus receives irrigation water supply from a pressurized water source through the water entrance and distributes the irrigation water via one of the water exits in an established water path. The apparatus is characterized in that a change in the hydraulic pressure build-up in the pressurized water supply actuates the rotation of the one-way clutch means for changing the water path connection from the entrance to a next of the distribution water exits, so that irrigation water distribution can be switched among several irrigation regions.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A hydraulic pressure-actuated distribution valve apparatus having a valve body with a water entrance and a plurality of distribution water exits, said apparatus includes an irrigation water distribution valve mechanism comprising:a one-way clutch means that includes a rotating rod pivotally rotatable inside said valve body and a rotating disk engage with said rotating rod for one-way rotation; wherein said distribution valve apparatus receives irrigation water supply from a pressurized water source through said water entrance and distributes said irrigation water via one of said plurality of water exits in an established water path, and a change in the hydraulic pressure built-up in said pressurized water supply actuates the rotation of said one-way clutch means for changing the water path connection from said exits wherein said one-way clutch means comprising:a piston slidable movable in along linear directions inside said valve body,a connecting rod having one end connected to a first end of said rotating rod and the other end connected to said piston,a first spring having one end connected to a second end of said rotating rod and the other connected to an inner edge of said valve body;a second spring compressibly installed between one end of said piston and the inner sidewall of said valve body, andwherein the rotating disk has formed thereon a plurality of protruding projections, said plurality of projections being formed on a top surface of said rotating disk wherein:a grab claw is formed on said second end of said rotating rod for engaging with any one of said plurality of protruding projections in one direction of rotation when said rotating rod is driven to rotate in one direction by said pressure change actuating the rotation of said one-way clutch means, and said grab claw disengages with said projections in the other direction of rotation when said rotating rod is driven to rotate in said other direction of rotation by said pressure change actuating the rotation of said one-way clutch means.
