Description

  The present invention relates to a fishing reel, and more particularly to a fishing reel that improves the fishing results by making it possible to recognize the motor output state of a spool drive motor and the winding speed of a fishing line.

  In general, when fishing for a deep fish layer such as boat fishing, an electric reel for fishing (hereinafter referred to as “electric reel”) is widely used.

  As is well known in the art, this electric reel uses a spool drive motor (hereinafter referred to as “spool motor”) to rotate the spool to wind up the fishing line. Today, the spool is operated by the spool motor. In addition, a manual combination type electric reel that enables winding of a fishing line by operating a handle attached to the reel body is generally used.

  Conventionally, this type of electric reel has a yarn length measuring device for measuring the amount of fishing line fed and wound based on the number of rotations of a spool or the like in order to improve the fishing results by accurately taking shelves. The measurement value of such a yarn length measuring device is displayed on a display provided on the reel body.

Further, conventionally, in this type of electric reel, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a fishing line feeding speed is calculated based on a measurement value of a line length measuring device, and this feeding speed is displayed on a display. As disclosed in Patent Document 2, a motor output adjusting body for continuously adjusting the motor output of the spool motor is mounted on the reel body so as to be displaceable, and the motor output state by the motor output adjusting body is displayed on the display. According to the electric reel disclosed in the cited document 1, backlash can be prevented by monitoring the feeding speed of the fishing line. According to the electric reel disclosed in Patent Document 2, the fishing reel Subtle adjustment of the motor output of the spool motor according to the situation becomes possible.

  However, during actual fishing, the load on the fishing line fluctuates due to the size, type, number, and condition of the fish, and the influence of the tidal current and wave speed.

  And when the load fluctuates in this way, even if the motor output of the spool motor is the same, the fishing line winding speed will change, and the actual winding speed will differ from the set winding speed. Since the conventional reels, such as the ones in literatures 1 and 2, cannot grasp the actual winding speed of the fishing line, the motor output adjustment (shifting operation) suitable for the actual situation cannot be performed, and it is cut off and cut off. There was a risk that the fish would be broken.

  The present invention has been devised in view of such a situation, and it is possible to grasp the state of the motor output state by the motor output adjusting body and the winding speed change due to the actual load fluctuation, and to improve the fishing results. The purpose is to provide.

  In order to achieve such an object, a fishing reel according to claim 1 includes a spool that is rotatably supported between side plates of the reel body, a spool motor that drives the spool to wind, and a displacement operation performed on the reel body. A motor output adjuster for adjusting the motor output of the spool motor, a winding speed detecting means for detecting a winding speed at the time of winding the fishing line wound around the spool, and a reel body. And a display for displaying a detected value of the winding speed detecting means and a motor output state corresponding to an adjustment amount of the motor output adjusting body.

  According to the first aspect of the invention, since the angler can recognize the winding speed that varies depending on the situation change during actual fishing through the indicator, it is possible to adjust the winding speed according to the situation, and it is easy to cut off and cut out. You can capture fish without roses.

  In addition to the winding speed, the motor output state corresponding to the adjustment amount of the motor output adjuster is displayed on the display, so it is possible to check the adjustment position of the motor output adjuster and the actual winding speed change state. It is possible to grasp the situation of the winding speed change due to the actual load fluctuation, and as a result, it has the advantage that it can effectively cope with the motor output increase / decrease adjustment and drag adjustment suitable for the load at the time of actual fishing .

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  1 to 8 show an embodiment in which the invention according to claim 1 is applied to an electric reel of manual combination type. In FIG. 1, 1 is a frame of a reel body 3, and 5 and 7 are frames of the frame 1. The spool shaft is supported by the support portion between the side plates 5 and 7 with the left and right side plates, and the spool 9 is rotatably supported by the spool shaft.

  The spool 9 is rotated by driving the spool motor (reference numeral 11 in FIG. 2) or winding the handle 13 so that the fishing line is wound. The spool motor 11 is attached to the frame 1 in front of the spool 9. It is housed in an integrally molded motor case.

  A lever-shaped motor output adjuster (hereinafter referred to as “power lever”) that adjusts the motor output of the spool motor 11 is provided at the upper front of the side plate 7 on the handle side in the same manner as the electric reel disclosed in Patent Document 2. 15 is attached so as to be rotatable in the same direction as the handle 13, and by operating the power lever 15, the microcomputer mounted in the control box 17 drives the motor output of the spool motor 11 through the motor drive circuit. The winding speed of the spool 9 is adjusted by increasing / decreasing from the stop state to the high output value.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a clutch lever 19 for operating a clutch mechanism mounted in the side plate 7 is attached between the side plates 5 and 7 behind the spool 9 so as to be pressed downward. The pressing mechanism 19 switches the clutch mechanism from clutch ON to clutch OFF.

  When the handle 13 is rotated in the winding direction in this clutch OFF state, the clutch mechanism is configured to return to the clutch ON via a well-known return mechanism (not shown), and the clutch ON / OFF of this clutch mechanism is configured. Thus, the spool 9 is switched between a fishing line winding state and a fishing line feeding state (spool free state), and the power of the spool motor 11 and the handle 13 to the spool 9 is transmitted / cut off.

  On the other hand, in FIG. 1, reference numeral 21 denotes a rotation detecting means for detecting the number of rotations of the spool 9 and its rotating direction. The rotation detecting means 21 includes a pair of reed switches 23 mounted on the frame 1 and a spool facing the pair. The reed switch 23 is connected to a CPU of a microcomputer.

  Thus, the CPU is the same as the fishing reel yarn length measurement program disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-103567 in the “thread length measurement display mode” and “winding speed display mode” which will be described later. Then, the forward / reverse determination signal of the spool 9 output from the reed switch 23 is taken in to determine whether the fishing line is fed out or taken up, and the rotation pulse signal of the spool 9 taken in from the reed switch 23 is counted. Based on the counted value, the yarn length calculation formula stored in the ROM of the microcomputer is calculated and executed.

  Then, the CPU displays the calculation result (yarn length measurement value) on the display 29 provided on the operation panel 27 of the control box 17 via the display drive circuit. The display 29 is a dot matrix type color TFT. It consists of a liquid crystal display and a segment type liquid crystal display.

  FIG. 3 shows one display form of the display 29 in the “yarn length measurement display mode”. The upper color display part 31 and the shelf color display part 33 in the center of the display 29 respectively have the water depth of the device from the water surface. The distance of the device from the shelf is displayed in parallel in two upper and lower stages.

  Here, the setting of the shelf position will be described. As described above, the CPU measures the yarn length measurement value based on the rotation pulse signal from the reed switch 23 and displays it on the upper color display unit 31. FIG. As shown, a reset switch 35 and a shelf memo switch 37 are mounted up and down on the operation panel 27 on the handle side adjacent to the display 29, and a mode switch (display changeover switch) is installed on the operation panel 27 on the opposite handle side. 39) and a winding speed setting switch 41 are mounted on the top and bottom adjacent to the display 29, and these are connected to the microcomputer.

  When the fisherman operates the reset switch 35 at the place where the fishing line is fed from the tip to the water surface at the start of actual fishing, the display value of the upper color display unit 31 is reset to “0.0”. ing.

  Thereafter, when the angler unwinds the fishing line, the line length measurement value calculated and measured by the CPU is displayed on the upper color display unit 31, and the angler takes the shelf memo when the line is unrolled, for example, 95.5m. When the switch 37 is operated, “0.0” is displayed on the shelf color display portion 33 and the shelf position is set. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. The amount of feed (water depth) from the water surface is displayed on the shelf color display unit 31 and the upper color display unit 33, respectively.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a lever output display unit 43 by the power lever 15 is provided on the upper right side in the indicator 29.

  That is, as described above, the electric reel 44 according to the present embodiment enables a delicate fishing line winding operation. Therefore, the motor output is controlled to increase / decrease by the rotation operation of the power lever 15 in the front / rear direction. The winding speed is adjusted, and the motor output is duty-controlled from the motor stop state to the high output value by the rotation operation of the power lever 15 in the front-rear direction.

  The motor output is divided into 25 stages as an example in the range from the motor stop state to the high output value, and the lever output display is made according to the adjustment amount of the motor output by the power lever 15 (the operation amount of the power lever 15). When the motor output adjustment amount is displayed in numerical order in the order of “0”, “1”, “2”..., “24” in the unit 43, and the motor output reaches the maximum high output value in the adjustment range, As shown in FIG. 3, the characters “HI” are displayed on the lever output display unit 43.

  Therefore, the angler can recognize the current motor output status by the power lever 15 based on such display.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, in order to improve the holding property of the entire reel, the electric reel 44 is provided with a projecting portion 45 projecting downward on the lower side of the side plate 5 on the side opposite to the handle.

  A receptacle (power supply connection portion) 49 for connecting the power supply cord 47 is attached to the bottom of the projecting portion 45, and the connector 51 of the power supply cord 47 is connected to the receptacle 49, and the mouth clip 53 of the power supply cord 47 is connected. , 55 are connected to a battery (external power source) (not shown), the spool motor 11 can be driven, and the CPU of the microcomputer is set to enter the “yarn length measurement display mode” in this initial energization state. .

  In FIG. 2, 57 is a well-known fastener that is screwed so as to be rotatable relative to a threaded portion engraved on the outer periphery of the connector 51 and movable in the longitudinal direction. The fastener 57 is an outer periphery of the receptacle 49. The connector 51 connected to the receptacle 49 is prevented from falling off by being screwed into a threaded portion provided in the connector.

  Next, the “winding speed display mode” will be described. As described above, the CPU is set to the “yarn length measurement display mode” in the initial energized state, but as shown in FIG. The mode switch 39 mounted on the switch 27 is alternately switched between a “yarn length measurement display mode” and a “winding speed display mode”.

  As described above, the CPU performs the yarn length measurement based on the rotation pulse signal of the spool 9 fetched from the reed switch 23 in both modes. The CPU further measures the measured yarn length measurement value and the microcomputer. The winding speed is calculated from the winding amount per unit time of the fishing line based on the time value of the timer built in the.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the display form of the indicator 29 in the “winding speed display mode”, and according to switching between the “thread length measurement display mode” and the “winding speed display mode” by operating the mode switch 39. The indicator 29 switches between the yarn length measurement display form of FIG. 3 and the winding speed display form of FIG.

  Thus, in the “winding speed display mode” of FIG. 5, the CPU uses the center of the indicator 29 as the fishing line winding speed display section 59 via the display drive circuit, and the winding speed display section 59. Displays the calculated winding speed per second (m / sec) of the fishing line, displays the adjustment amount of the motor output on the lever output display unit 43, and further measures the line length on the upper left side of the display 29. As the display unit 61, the yarn length measurement display unit 61 displays the depth of the device from the water surface and the distance of the device from the shelf in two small rows in parallel.

  As the display method of the winding speed display unit 59, instead of the display method of FIG. 5, the winding speed per minute (m / min) may be displayed as shown in FIG. A display changeover switch (not shown) may be separately provided on the operation panel 27 so that the display changeover switch can be switched alternately between the display method of FIG. 5 and the display method of FIG.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a winding speed setting switch 41 is provided on the operation panel 27. The winding speed setting switch 41 is set to an actual measured value of the winding speed as shown in FIGS. Instead, the fishing line winding speed is displayed as an index, and the angler can operate the power lever 15 at a winding speed of 3 m / sec in the “line length measurement display mode” or “winding speed display mode”. When the fisherman operates the winding speed setting switch 41 while winding the fishing line, the winding speed at that time, that is, the winding speed of 3 m / sec, as shown in FIG. An index “100” recognized as a value is arbitrarily set.

  Therefore, thereafter, the CPU obtains an index from the actually measured value of the winding speed, and as shown in FIG. 7, the winding speed of 1.5 m / sec becomes the index “50” with respect to the index “100”. Although not shown, the winding speed of 4.5 m / sec is an index “150”, and the index increases or decreases as the winding speed increases or decreases.

  When the index is set in this way, the display form of FIG. 5 is maintained in the “yarn length measurement display mode”, but when the mode switch 39 is operated to switch to the “winding speed display mode”, or When the index is set in this manner in the “winding speed display mode”, as shown in FIG. 8, in addition to the display of the lever output display unit 43 and the yarn length measurement display unit 61, the CPU The center is the fishing line winding speed index display section 63, and the winding speed index display section 63 displays the index of the measured value for the index “100” and the bar display section provided on the right side of the display 29. 65, the index of the actually measured value with respect to the index “100” is displayed as a bar.

  In addition, when an index is arbitrarily set as described above and a new winding speed setting switch 41 is operated, the new index is updated and set and displayed. In the display form of FIG. For example, when the winding speed setting switch 41 and the reset switch 35 are operated at the same time, the display form of FIG. 8 is canceled and the display mode of the actual measurement value shown in FIG. 5 is entered.

  Since the present embodiment is configured as described above, when the electric reel 44 is connected to the battery via the power supply cord 47, the CPU of the microcomputer enters the “yarn length measurement display mode” in this initial energization state. As the fishing line is unwound during actual fishing and when the fishing line is wound by operating the handle 13 and the power lever 15, the unwinding amount and the winding amount are measured. As shown in FIG. When the motor output adjustment amount is sequentially displayed on the lever output display unit 43 and the motor output reaches the maximum value in the adjustment range, the lever output is displayed as shown in FIG. The characters “HI” are displayed on the display unit 43.

  Of course, when the fishing line is wound up by operating the handle 13, the motor is in a stopped state, so the display on the lever output display section 43 is "0".

  In this "line length measurement display mode", the CPU calculates the winding speed from the winding amount per unit time of the fishing line based on the line length measurement value and the timer time value.

  As described above, the measurement and calculation of the line length measurement value and the fishing line winding speed are also performed in the “winding speed display mode”.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the CPU switches alternately between the “yarn length measurement display mode” and the “winding speed display mode” by operating the mode switch 39.

  Thus, when the mode is switched to the “winding speed display mode”, as shown in FIG. 5, the CPU uses the center of the indicator 29 as the fishing line winding speed display section 59, and displays the winding speed display section 59 on the winding speed display section 59. The calculated winding speed per second (m / sec) of the fishing line is displayed, the adjustment amount of the motor output is displayed on the lever output display unit 43, and the water length measurement display unit 61 in the indicator 29 is further displayed on the water surface. The water depth of the device from the top and the distance of the device from the shelf are displayed in small rows in parallel at the top and bottom.

  Further, in the “line length measurement display mode” or “winding speed display mode”, when the fisher is winding the fishing line at a winding speed of 3 m / sec by operating the power lever 15, for example, When the speed setting switch 41 is operated, the winding speed at that time, that is, the winding speed of 3 m / sec, is arbitrarily set as an index “100” as shown in FIG. An index for the index “100” is obtained from the actually measured value.

  When the index is set in this way, the display form of FIG. 5 is maintained in the “yarn length measurement display mode”, but when the mode switch 39 is operated to switch to the “winding speed display mode”, or When the index is set in this manner in the “winding speed display mode”, as shown in FIG. 8, in addition to the display of the lever output display unit 43 and the yarn length measurement display unit 61, the CPU The center is the fishing line winding speed index display section 63, and the winding speed index display section 63 displays the index of the measured value for the index “100” and the bar display section provided on the right side of the display 29. 65, the index of the actually measured value with respect to the index “100” is displayed as a bar.

  In addition, when an index is arbitrarily set as described above and the winding speed setting switch 41 is newly operated, the new index is updated and set and displayed. Further, the winding speed setting switch 41 is displayed in the display form of FIG. 8 and the reset switch 35 are simultaneously operated, the display form of FIG. 8 is canceled and the actual value display form shown in FIG. 5 is entered.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the “winding speed display mode” is configured to detect and display on the display 29 the winding speed that differs depending on the actual change in fishing conditions. 29, it is possible to adjust the winding speed in accordance with the actual fishing, and it is possible to take in fish that are easily cut off or cut off without breaking apart.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, in the “winding speed display mode”, the motor output state corresponding to the adjustment amount of the power lever 15 is displayed on the display 29 together with the winding speed. It is possible to check the change position of the adjustment position and the actual winding speed, and grasp the situation of the winding speed change due to the actual load fluctuation. As a result, the motor output suitable for the load during actual fishing There is an advantage that it is possible to effectively cope with increase / decrease adjustment and drag adjustment.

  In the embodiment, the fishing line winding speed is displayed on the display 29 in the “winding speed display mode”. However, the “winding speed display mode” is not provided, and “line length measurement” is not provided. In the “display mode”, the winding speed may be displayed on the display 29 together with the yarn length measurement value and the motor output status, or the winding speed may be displayed on the display 29 by a switch operation. Either of them may be used.

  In the above embodiment, the index display index “100” can be arbitrarily set. However, at the factory shipment stage, the maximum winding speed that can be reached is set in advance, and the index for the maximum winding speed is set to “100”. In this case, during actual fishing, the angler can recognize the actual winding speed with respect to the maximum winding speed index “100”.

  Thus, also by these embodiments, the intended purpose can be achieved as in the embodiment of FIG. 1 described above.
