Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric fishing reel provided with a spool drive motor for winding and driving a spool rotatably supported on a reel body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to cope with the situation of a fishing spot, a transmission for adjusting the rotation speed of a spool drive motor for rotating a spool is provided on an electric fishing reel as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-119914. Is provided. this is,
Power on / off drive motor on top of reel
In addition to the main switch, a speed change slide switch for selectively switching the rotation speed of the spool drive motor to three speeds of low speed, medium speed and high speed is provided, so that the winding speed of the fishing line can be changed in three stages. I have.

[0003]

However, the electric reel has a structure in which the slide switch is slid in the front-rear direction along the upper surface of the reel body to change the speed at a low speed, a medium speed, and a high speed. During a gear shifting operation, the fingers of the hand are easily displaced from the reel body and are not stable, so that the gear shifting operation cannot be performed easily. In addition, since the motor can be driven only in three stages of low speed, medium speed, and high speed, it is not possible to control the motor output in a wide and quick manner corresponding to the conditions of a fishing place or the like, resulting in poor actual fishing performance.

Further, after turning on the main switch, the rotating motor is slid forward and backward to control the motor output in three stages of low speed, medium speed and high speed. Since the motor is driven (stopped) and the speed is changed by the two switch configurations, the switch operation becomes complicated.

The present invention has been devised based on the above problem, and the spool drive motor can be continuously adjusted from a halt stop state to a maximum value in accordance with the conditions of a fishing place to improve the actual fishing performance. An object of the present invention is to provide an electric fishing reel that facilitates switch operation of a spool drive motor.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a spool drive motor for winding and driving a spool rotatably supported on a reel body, and adjusting the output of the spool drive motor. In an electric fishing reel provided with a motor output adjuster provided on the reel body, the motor output is continuously wound from a halt state to a maximum value by a continuous displacement operation of a single motor output adjuster provided on the reel body. The motor output adjusting means is provided so as to increase or decrease the motor output adjusting means, and the motor output adjusting body is set so that the motor is not driven again unless the adjustment position is returned to the zero motor output state in the winding stop state. I do.

According to the present invention, when a single motor output adjuster mounted on the reel body is continuously displaced, the motor output of the spool drive motor continuously increases and decreases in accordance with the amount of operation, and the spool output is adjusted. The hoisting speed changes from the hoisting stopped state to the maximum value. In such a motor output adjuster, when it is necessary to re-drive the motor, for example, when the power cord is disconnected, the motor re-drive must be performed once the adjustment position is returned to the zero motor output state in the winding stop state. I cannot do it.

In the figure, reference numeral 33 denotes a pinion gear that meshes with the drive gear 29. The pinion gear 33 is located on the axis of the spool 7 between the center of the boss 21a of the gear carry 21 and the reel side frame 5. The pinion shaft 35 is supported rotatably and movably in the axial direction. The pinion gear 33 and the boss 21a of the gear carrier 21 opposed thereto.
A clutch plate 37 for transmitting or interrupting the winding power from the motor 17 to the spool 7 is provided between the clutch plate 37 and the clutch plate 37.

The electric fishing reel according to the present embodiment has, in addition to the structure described above, a fisherman holding both sides of the reel body 1 with both hands at the front of the right side of the reel body 1 during actual fishing. In the held state, one motor output adjustment lever (hereinafter referred to as “lever”) 39 operable with the thumb and forefinger of the right hand is mounted rotatably in the front-rear direction of the reel body 1 over a range of about 120 °. At the same time, a rotary potentiometer 41 as an output adjusting means of the motor 17 is connected to the lever 39, and the rotation of the lever 39 causes the motor 1 to rotate.
The output 7 is continuously increased or decreased from the winding stop state (off state) to the maximum value.

That is, as is well known, the potentiometer 4
Reference numeral 1 denotes a device which moves the brush with a given mechanical displacement, slides the brush on a fixed resistor, and changes the resistance value to extract a voltage corresponding to the position of the brush.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the lever 39 is connected to the potentiometer 41, and the position of the brush in the potentiometer 41 is changed by rotating the lever 39. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, a change in the resistance value of the potentiometer 41 due to the operation of the lever 39 is input to the control circuit 43, and the drive current is supplied to the motor 17 as a duty ratio of a pulse signal corresponding to the operation amount of the lever 39. The time ratio is variably controlled by the control circuit 43, and the rotation of the motor 17 is changed from the winding stop state to the maximum value (0
１００100%).

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 45 denotes a control unit for housing the control circuit 43, and the control unit 45 is a watertight storage unit 4 integrated with the reel side frames 3 and 5.
7 and assembled to the reel body 1.

The operation panel 4 of the control unit 45
An ON / OFF switch 51 for the motor 17 and a digital display unit 53 are provided on the top of the motor 9.

The digital display 53 is provided with a display 55 for displaying the motor output by operating the lever 39, and the display 5 is provided in accordance with the adjustment of the motor output.
The scale of the bar display amount of No. 5 sequentially changes from “0” to “100”. And the above ON / OF
When the F switch 51 is turned on, winding of the fishing line 9 is started with the motor output of the lever 39 at the current position, and thereafter, the output of the motor 17 can be continuously controlled according to the operation of the lever 39.

In the drawing, reference numeral 57 denotes a power cord connected to the reel unit 1 via a connector 59. The power cord is connected to a DC current of a battery or the like disposed on the ship by a crocodile clip or the like. , The motor 17 and the control circuit 43 are activated.

Since the present embodiment is configured as described above, when fishing is performed, the power cord 57 is connected to the reel body 1 via the connector 59, and the power cord 57 is mounted on the ship with a crocodile clip or the like. It is connected to a DC power supply such as a placed battery.

When the ON / OFF switch 51 is turned ON when a fish hits, the lever 3
The spool 7 is rotated by the motor output at the current position 9 and the fishing line 9 is wound up. Therefore, if the angler wants to slowly wind up the fishing line 9 while checking the display 55, for example, a lever display on the display 55 is displayed. Operate the lever 39 so that the scale of the amount is "20". If the fish is strongly pulled and the harness is strong, operate the lever 39 so that the scale of the bar display amount is "80". If the output of the motor 17 is controlled while operating the lever 39 in accordance with the above situation, the fishing line 9 can be wound at a motor speed optimal for winding. Then, when it is desired to stop winding, the lever 39 may be returned so that the scale of the bar display amount becomes “0”.

As described above, according to the electric reel for fishing according to the present embodiment, the motor output is transmitted to the reel body 1 while taking into account the Harris strength, the size and the number of hits of the target fish, the fish, the tide, and the waves. The number of revolutions of the spool 7 can be continuously increased or decreased from the winding stop state to the maximum value by controlling with one mounted lever 39, and the fisherman holds both sides of the reel body 1 with both hands. Since the lever 39 can be operated with the thumb and the index finger without shifting the right hand, the operability of winding the fishing line 9 is remarkably improved as compared with a conventional electric fishing reel.

In this embodiment, the potentiometer 41 is used as a motor output adjusting means for continuously increasing or decreasing the motor output of the motor 17 by rotating the lever 39. Instead of these, a potentiometer 41 and a Hall element are used. It may be used, and even with such a structure, the intended purpose can be achieved similarly to the above embodiment.

In this embodiment, when the ON / OFF switch 51 is turned on, the winding of the fishing line 9 is started by the motor output of the lever 39 at the current position, and thereafter, the lever 3 is turned on.
Although the output of the motor 17 can be continuously controlled in accordance with the operation of No. 9, the ON / OFF switch 51 may be omitted. That is, when the lever 39 is rotated to the foremost position, the motor output is set to the winding stop state, and by rotating the motor forward, the motor output can be continuously adjusted to the maximum value. From ON / O
The FF switch 51 may be omitted, and the lever 39 may be configured to also serve as a power switch (ON / OFF switch).

Then, in the case of such a configuration, in consideration of safety, the lever 39 is once returned to the "0" position, and then winding of the spool 7 is started (providing a safety function). That is, for example, when the power cord is disconnected at the time of actual fishing and the like, and the power cord is
The motor is not driven again unless the position is returned to the position "0" once.

As a result, the motor will not be re-driven in accordance with the shift position, and a switch operation error that is likely to occur when the switch operation is performed in a hurry can be prevented.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a second embodiment of the present invention. In the above-described embodiment, the lever 39 is installed in the front of the right side of the reel body 1, but as shown in FIG.
The lever 39 may be disposed on the operation panel 49 of the control unit 45, and the position of the lever is not particularly limited.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment uses a reed switch instead of the potentiometer 41 to increase or decrease the motor output in multiple stages. Since the configuration except for the inventive portion is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted here, and the inventive portion will be described exclusively. The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals.

In the figure, reference numeral 61 denotes a control unit 45.
A slide lever 65 including a magnet 63 is mounted on the slide base 61 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction of the reel body 67.

In the control unit 45, a number of reed switches 69 are provided in parallel corresponding to the magnets 63, and as shown in FIG. ON,
A change in the resistance value detected when the switch is turned off is input to the control circuit 71. Then, the control circuit 71 variably controls the drive power supply time ratio to the motor 17 as the duty ratio of the pulse signal according to the operation amount (displacement amount) of the slide lever 65, so that the rotation of the motor 17 is performed in multiple stages ( (0-100%).

Further, as in the first embodiment, the bar display of the display unit 55 provided on the digital display unit 53 is sequentially changed by adjusting the motor output of the slide lever 65. Then, the ON / OFF switch 51 is turned ON.
When operated, the output of the motor 17 can be continuously controlled according to the operation of the slide lever 65.

In this embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, when the ON / OFF switch 51 is turned on in the event of a fish hit, the fishing line 9 is wound up by the motor output at the current position of the slide lever 65. Since the fishing line 9 is started, the angler controls the output of the motor 17 by operating the slide lever 65 in accordance with the winding state while checking the display 55, and the fishing line 9 is wound at an optimum motor speed for winding. Can be When it is desired to stop winding, the slide lever 6 is set so that the scale of the bar display amount becomes “0”.
You just have to return 5.

As described above, also in the electric fishing reel according to this embodiment, the motor output is controlled by the slide lever 65 serving as the same operation unit in consideration of the Harris strength, the target fish, the size and the number of hits of the fish, the tide, the wave, and the like. However, in many stages (0-100
%), The number of rotations of the spool 7 can be increased or decreased, so that the operability to wind up the fishing line 9 is dramatically improved as compared with a conventional electric fishing reel.

In the second and third embodiments, a volume switch or a hall element may be used as the motor output adjusting means, and a safety function similar to that of the first embodiment is provided.

[0035]

According to the present invention, the motor output can be continuously increased or decreased from the winding stop state to the maximum value by the continuous displacement operation of the single motor output adjuster mounted on the reel body. Is simplified so that a wide range of motor output can be controlled in accordance with the conditions of the fishing ground, and the motor is not driven unless the position of the motor output adjuster is returned to the zero motor output state in the winding stop state. This prevents the motor from being erroneously driven by the output corresponding to an arbitrary shift position of the motor output adjuster when the power cord is connected, etc. Can be prevented and trouble can be prevented.
