[0011]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Embodiment 1 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, this double-bearing electric reel for fishing comprises side plates 2 and 3 integrally formed on left and right frame plates 1a and 1b of a reel body 1. And a spool 4 between both side plates 2 and 3. The spool 4 is rotatably supported by the left and right frame plates 1a and 1b via ball bearings 5 and 6, and is driven by a handle 7 or a motor 8 as described below.

The handle 7 is provided outside the reel body 1, and a handle shaft 7a is rotatably supported between the right frame plate 1b and the side plate 3. A master gear 10 is attached to the handle shaft 7a via a drag device 9. When the handle 7 is turned, the master gear 10 rotates integrally with the handle shaft 7a due to frictional resistance via the drag device 9.

A pinion shaft 11 is supported between the right frame plate 1b and the side plate 3 via bearings 12 and 13 in parallel with the handle shaft 7a. Pinion 1 on pinion shaft 11
4 is slidably covered. The pinion 14 is always meshed with the master gear 10.

A clutch pawl 15 of a clutch mechanism is formed between the left end of the pinion 14 and an intermediate position of the pinion shaft 11. The clutch mechanism is for switching between a fishing line winding state in which the spool 4, the handle 7 and the motor 8 are drivingly connected, and a fishing line payout state in which the driving connection is released, and the clutch claw 15 is engaged by a lever device described later. It is designed to be removed. The pinion 14 and the pinion shaft 11 indicated by a solid line in FIG. 2 are in a state where the clutch pawl 15 is engaged (clutch ON). When the handle 7 is turned in the fishing line winding direction in this state, torque is transmitted through the handle shaft 7a, the master gear 10, the pinion 14, the pinion shaft 11, and first and second planetary gear units 16 and 17 to be described later. Is transmitted to the spool 4, and the spool 4 winds up the fishing line. Conversely, the clutch claw 15 is released (clutch O
In FF), the spool 4 is dynamically separated from the handle 7 so that free rotation is possible, and the fishing line is paid out by the weight of the device or the like.

An annular groove is formed at an intermediate position of 4, and the shifter 18 is fitted in the annular groove. A clutch cam 19 disposed so as to surround the clutch pawl 15 is rotatably held on the frame plate 1b of the reel body 1, and a cam piece 19a of the clutch cam 19 is in contact with the shifter 18. The shifter 18 is constantly urged by a coil spring (not shown) in a direction such that the clutch ON state is maintained. A clutch lever 20 is stretched between the left and right frame plates 1a and 1b of the reel. A sector gear 21 is fixed to one end of a clutch lever shaft 20a integrally holding the clutch lever 20, and an intermediate gear 22 supported on the frame plate 1b meshes with the sector gear 21. The intermediate gear 22 has a pin 22a on a side surface thereof, and the pin 22a is engaged with a fork 19a provided on the clutch cam 19 as shown in FIGS.

When the clutch lever 20 stops at the clutch ON position as shown by the solid line in FIG. 4, the clutch cam 19 rotates in such a direction as to release the shifter 18, and the pinion 14 moves on the pinion shaft 11. , The clutch claw 15 on the left end of the pinion 14 engages with the clutch claw 15 on the pinion shaft 11, so that the spool 4 can be rotated by operating the handle 7. Conversely, when the clutch lever 20 is switched to the clutch OFF position as shown by the solid line in FIG. 7, the torque due to the rotation of the clutch lever 20 causes the gears 21, 22 and the pin 22a to rotate.
The fork 19b is transmitted to the clutch cam 19 via the fork 19b. The clutch cam 19 rotates the cam piece 19a to push the shifter 18 rightward with the rotation thereof, and the pinion 14 slides rightward on the pinion shaft 11, and the left end of the pinion 14 Of the clutch pawl 15 on the pinion shaft 11 is separated from the clutch pawl 15, so that the spool 4 can freely rotate.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a motor 8 for driving the spool 4 is placed horizontally between the left and right frame plates 1a, 1b of the reel body 1 via a cylindrical motor case 23. It is fixed at. The motor 8 is driven by a battery (not shown). As shown in FIG.
The control device for driving, stopping, etc. of the
Is provided in a control box 24 mounted on the upper part of the control box.

The power generated by the motor 8 is shown in FIGS.
Is transmitted to the spool 4 via a gear train 25 and a reduction mechanism including the first and second planetary gear units 16 and 17. A gear box 26 is attached to the left frame plate 1a, and a gear train 25 and a second planetary gear unit 17 are housed in the gear box 26. The tip of the output shaft 8a of the motor 8 is supported by a gear box 26 via a bearing 27, and a driving gear 25a is fixed to the output shaft 8a. The rotation of the driving gear 25a is transmitted to a driven gear 25e via various intermediate gears 25b, 25c, and 25d supported by a gear box 26. The shaft 28 that holds the driven gear 23e is supported by the frame plate 1a so as to pass through the center of the ball bearing 5 that supports the left end of the spool 4.

As a result, when the motor 8 is started, the gear train 25 and first and second planetary gear units 16 and 1 to be described later.
The torque is transmitted to the spool 4 via 7, and the spool 4 winds up the fishing line. When the power of the motor 8 is turned off, the spool 4 is interlocked with the handle 7. When the clutch is turned off, the spool 4 becomes freely rotatable, and the fishing line is paid out by the weight of the device or the like.

The first and second planetary gear units 16 and 17 are linked to each other. When the spool 4 is turned by operating the handle 7, the rotation speed of the handle 7 is slightly increased and transmitted to the spool 4, and the motor is rotated. When the spool 4 is rotated by the power of 8, the rotation speed of the motor 8 is reduced and transmitted to the spool 4.

As shown in FIG. 2, the first planetary gear set 16 includes a first sun gear 29 and a first sun gear 29.
A first planetary gear 30 meshing with the first planetary gear 30
And a first internal gear 32 that meshes with the first planetary gear 30. The first sun gear 29 is fixed to the intermediate shaft 33. Intermediate shaft 3
Numeral 3 penetrates the center hole of the spool 4 to the left and right via a clearance, the left end is rotatably supported by the shaft 28 of the driven gear 25e, and the right end is rotatably supported by the pinion shaft 11. The first bracelet 31 is fixed to the pinion shaft 11. The first internal gear 32 is fixed to the right end wall 4b of the spool 4.

As shown in FIG. 3, the second gear train 17 includes a second sun gear 34, a second planetary gear 35 meshing with the second sun gear 34, and a second planetary gear 35. A second bracelet 36 rotatably supported and a second planetary gear 3
5 and a second internal gear 37 that meshes with the second internal gear 37. The second sun gear 34 is fixed to the shaft 28 of the driven gear 25e. The second bracelet 36 is fixed to the intermediate shaft 33. The second internal gear 37 is fixed to the left end wall 4a of the spool 4.

Thus, when the handle 7 is rotated,
The combined rotation speed of the first and second planetary gear units 16 and 17 is transmitted to the spool 4 and winds the fishing line around the spool 4. When the spool 4 is rotated by the motor 8, the gear train 25 and the first and second planetary gear units 16 and 17 act as a speed reducer, and the spool 4 rotates at a lower rotation speed than the rotation speed of the motor 8. Wind the fishing line around it.

The first and second planetary gear units 16, 1
7 may not be divided into the left and right sides of the spool 4 but may be collectively installed on one of the left and right sides.

The output of the motor 8 for driving the spool 4 can be adjusted in multiple stages by motor output adjusting means.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the motor output adjusting means includes a potentiometer 38, which is a variable resistor housed between the right frame plate 1b and the side plate 3, and an operating shaft having a wiper for the potentiometer 38. And an adjustment lever 39 for turning the lever 38a. By operating the adjusting lever 39, the resistance value of the potentiometer 38 changes, and this change is input to the control device in the control box 24,
The controller performs calculations based on the input and adjusts the motor output in multiple stages from the output stop state to the maximum. When the motor output is set to the output stop state by operating the adjustment lever 39, the motor 8 is turned off and the power is turned off. Adjustment lever 39
Is provided on the outer surface of the side plate 3 and can be operated from outside the reel. The adjustment lever 39 has a boss 39a fixed to the operating shaft 38a of the potentiometer 38 in a detented state, and a lever piece 39b protruding from the boss.

This motor output adjusting means is preferably provided as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 in order to improve operability.
The reel unit 1 is arranged on the upper rear side of the handle 7 side.

The motor output adjusting means returns the motor 8 to the output stop state when the drive connection between the motor 8 or the handle 7 and the spool 4 is released by the clutch mechanism and the fishing line winding state is switched to the fishing line feeding state. It has a mechanism. The return mechanism is constituted by a gear train 40 provided between the clutch mechanism and the motor output adjusting means as shown in FIGS. The gear train 40 has a clearance between a sector gear 21 fixed to the shaft 20a of the clutch lever 20, an intermediate gear 22 meshing with the sector gear 21, and an operating shaft 38a having a wiper of the potentiometer 38 meshing with the intermediate gear 22. , A return hole 41 formed on the side surface of the return gear 41 and curved around the axis of the return gear 41, and a return gear 41 from the side surface of the boss 39a of the adjustment lever 39.
And a projection 43 protruding into the long hole 42.

This return mechanism operates together with the motor output adjusting means as follows. When the adjustment lever 39 is set at the position where the motor output is stopped as shown in FIG. 4 and the clutch lever 20 has returned to the clutch ON state, the motor 8 is turned off and the power of the motor 8 is turned off.
In this state, the spool 4 can be rotated by turning the handle 7 to wind up the fishing line. Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the power of the motor 8 is turned on by turning the adjustment lever 39.
When the motor output is adjusted from the output stop state to the maximum, the output of the motor 8 according to the adjustment causes the spool 4 to rotate and wind the fishing line. Then, at the time of fishing, as shown in FIG.
When FF is selected, the power transmission path from the motor 8 to the spool 4 is cut off, and the spool 4 can freely rotate.
In addition, the torque generated by the rotation of the clutch lever 20 simultaneously with the clutch OFF is applied to the sector gear 21 and the intermediate gear 22.
Is transmitted to the return gear 41 via After the return gear 41 idles around the shaft 38a of the potentiometer 38 for a while, the protrusion 43 of the adjustment lever 39 is hooked at one end of the elongated hole 42, and the rotation adjustment lever 39 is further returned to the motor output stop position. Thereafter, when the finger is released from the clutch lever 20, the clutch lever 20 returns to the clutch ON position as shown in FIG. At this time, the sector gear 21,
The intermediate gear 22 and the return gear 41 rotate in the opposite direction to the above, and the return gear 41 idles around the shaft 38a of the potentiometer 38 and returns to the original position with the projection 43 released.

Embodiment 2 As shown in FIG. 8, in the dual-bearing electric reel for fishing in this embodiment 2, the motor output adjusting means is disposed at the rear side of the reel body 1, and The distal end of an adjusting lever 39, which is an operation unit of the motor output adjusting means, extends in a direction between both side plates of the reel body 1.

[0031]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the clutch is turned off after the hull is stopped by the drive of the spool drive motor, the drive connection is released by the clutch during the winding of the fishing line by the motor or the handle, and the fishing line is fed out. In either case, the motor output adjusting means can be automatically returned to the output stop state. By operating the adjustment lever from the state, it can be continuously changed. Further, since the switching operation to the fishing line unwinding state due to the clutch OFF and the returning operation of the motor output adjustment means to the output stop state can be linked in this manner, the motor output adjustment means is switched to the output stop state after the fishing line is wound up. The return operation can be reliably performed without forgetting, and it is possible to prevent a timing error or the like caused by a redrive error of the spool drive motor.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the return mechanism is constituted by a gear train provided between the clutch mechanism and the motor output adjusting means, when the conventional electric drive means such as a motor is used. In comparison, even when the motor burn-in prevention circuit is activated by detecting an overcurrent or the power supply cord is removed to move the deck, the power is not supplied because the power supply is disconnected, so that the operation can be switched to the fishing line feeding state and the motor output can be adjusted. The return operation of the means to the output stop state can be reliably performed.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the motor output adjusting means is disposed on the rear upper portion on the handle side of the reel body, the output of the motor can be adjusted by the fingers of the hand holding the handle. Manual winding after output is stopped can be performed quickly.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the motor output adjusting means is disposed behind the side of the reel body, and the operating portion of the motor output adjusting means extends in the direction between both side plates. The drive and speed of the motor can be adjusted by the fingers of the hand on the holding side. In addition, the combination with a type in which a switching member such as a clutch lever is mounted between both side plates of the reel body enables quick response such as shelving and bottoming.
