The stop condition table storage area 32 stores a stop condition table including a plurality of conditions for turning off the motor 12 as shown in FIG. here,
There are seven conditions in parallel consisting of two elements, a range of the temperature of the FET 25a and a range of the current value supplied to the motor 12, and in each of the conditions, how long a state meeting the conditions is satisfied. An element of time is added to determine whether to turn off the motor 12 if continued. For example, F
When the state where the temperature of the ET 25a is in the range of 60 ° C. or more and the current value is 8 A or more continues for 15 seconds or more, it is determined that the stop condition is satisfied, and the motor 12 is turned off.

The switching unit 41 switches a route for transmitting power supplied from the external power supply 40 such as a battery to the PWM drive circuit 25. Specifically, the switching unit 41 sends the supply voltage of the external power supply 40 to the PWM drive circuit 25 as it is, or boosts the supply voltage via the booster circuit 42 to increase the supply voltage via the booster circuit 42 according to a command from the control unit 20. Switch to send to.

<Main Control of Electric Reel> Next, the control unit 2
The main control processing performed by 0 will be described with reference to the control flowcharts shown in FIG. When the external power supply 40 is connected to the electric reel, initialization is performed in step S1 shown in FIG. Here, the water depth display is set to “0”, various flags are reset, and the display mode is set to the mode from above. The stop condition table shown in FIG. 5 is called from the stop condition table storage area 32 by the reading unit 28 here.

In step S2, the display processing shown in FIG. 7 is performed. In step S3, it is determined whether a key input has been made by operating various buttons of the operation unit 6. When the key input is performed in step S3, the process proceeds to step S7, and the key input process shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 is performed. In step S4, it is determined whether the spool 10 has rotated. This determination is made based on the output of the spool rotation sensor 21. If it is determined that the spool 10 is rotating, the process proceeds from step S4 to step S8, and executes each mode process (shelf alarm process, hull alarm process, etc.).

In step S5, it is determined whether the motor 12 is turned on. If it is determined that the switch is turned on, the process proceeds from step S5 to step S9. In the acceleration / deceleration processing in step S9, the duty ratio D is increased or decreased to increase or decrease the speed of the motor 12. In this process, the current rotation speed of the spool 10 detected by the spool rotation sensor 21 is compared with the rotation speed data set for the current gear stage SC, and the duty ratio D is adjusted so that the two are matched. The rotation of the motor 12 that rotates the spool 10 is increased or decreased. However, the duty ratio D is adjusted within a range not exceeding the maximum duty ratio D _SU corresponding to the speed stage SC at that time.

When the process proceeds from step S9 to step S10, an electronic breaker process of the motor 12 shown in FIG. 10 is performed. As shown in FIG. 10, in the electronic breaker process, first, in a step S51, it is determined whether or not a timer start condition is satisfied. The timer start condition includes a current value detected by the current detection sensor 23 and a temperature of the FET 25a detected by the temperature sensor 24 within a range including a condition for stopping the motor 12 (motor stop condition). The time (motor stop time) ta until the motor 12 stops is determined so as to correspond to each range. The timer start condition is, for example, ta = 60 seconds when the current value is 7 A and t when the current value is 8 A so as to correspond to the initial time of the motor stop condition shown in FIG.
When a = 30 seconds and 10A, ta = 4 seconds. Further, since the current value and the temperature fluctuate, for example, when the timer 8 is turned on, when the current value rises from 7A to 8A, the timer 8 is already activated and the motor stop time t
Since a is consumed, it can be set as small as ta = 20 seconds.

If the timer start condition is not satisfied in step S51, the flow shifts to step S59. In a step S59, it is determined whether or not the timer 8 is on, and if it is on, it is turned off in a step S60. If the condition for starting the timer is not satisfied, the condition for stopping the motor is not satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S6 in FIG. If the timer start condition is satisfied in step S51, the process proceeds to step S52, and a timer process is performed.

In the timer processing in step S52, as shown in FIG. 11, in step S61, the motor stop time ta determined by the timer start condition table is read. Then, in a step S62, it is determined whether or not the timer 8 is turned on. When the timer 8 is off, the process proceeds to step S63 to turn on the timer 8 in order to detect the elapse of the motor stop time ta which is the time until the motor 12 is stopped. If the timer 8 has already been turned on, step S63 is skipped. And step S
At 64, the remaining time tb (= ta−t) of the timer 8 is calculated. This remaining time tb is displayed on the water depth display section 5a in the display processing of step S2.

When the timer process is performed, the process proceeds to step S53, as shown in FIG. 10, to determine whether or not a motor stop condition is satisfied. In this step S53,
The current value, the temperature of the FET 25a, and the time during which these conditions detected by the timer 8 continue in the range shown in FIG. 5 are read out, and the electric reel is set to one of the stop conditions shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not it is. Specifically, the remaining time tb calculated by the timer processing is 0.
It is determined whether or not it has become. When the stop condition is not satisfied, it is determined that there is no possibility that the motor 12 or the FET 25a will be burned, and the process proceeds to step S6 in FIG.

If the motor stop condition is satisfied in step S53, that is, if the combination of the three elements satisfies the stop condition in FIG. 5, the process proceeds to step S54 to turn off the motor 12, and in step S55, the motor 12 is turned off. The power button PB is frozen so as not to accept the ON operation of the power button. Then, the process shifts to step S56 to turn off the timer. Next, in step S57, it is determined whether or not the power supply voltage supplied to the motor 12 has been increased.
That is, it is determined whether the supply voltage of the external power supply 40 is sent through the booster circuit 42 or is sent to the PWM drive circuit 25 as it is. If the voltage has been boosted, that is, if the voltage has passed through the booster circuit 42, step S5
8, the switching unit 41 is switched so that the supply voltage of the external power supply 40 is supplied to the PWM drive circuit 25 in a state where the voltage is not boosted, and the boosting is released.

In step S6 shown in FIG. 6, it is determined whether another command has been issued. When another command is issued, the process shifts from step S6 to step S11 to perform another process according to the command. In the display process of step S2 shown in FIG. 7, it is determined whether or not the operation has started after the timer 8 has satisfied the stop condition in step S13. If the timer 8 has started to operate, that is, is in the operating state, the process proceeds to step S14. In step S14, the remaining time tb of the timer 8 is displayed on the water depth display section 5a. Step S1
At 5, it is determined whether or not the time t of the timer 8 has exceeded the blink start time ts shorter than the motor stop time ta. When the blinking start time ts has elapsed since the start of the operation of the timer 8, the process proceeds to step S15, and the water depth display section 5a blinks. If the blink start time ts has not elapsed, step S15 is skipped.

If the timer 8 has not been turned on, the process proceeds from step S13 to step S16. Step S1
At 6, other display processing is performed. In other display processes,
Various indications such as water depth indication are performed. Here, when the mode is from above, the water depth from above is displayed on the water depth display section 5a, and when the mode is from the bottom, the distance from the water bottom is displayed. Also,
When the shelf position is set, the upper shelf position is displayed on the shelf memo display section 5d when the mode is from the top, and the bottom shelf position is displayed when the mode is from the bottom.

In the key input process of step S7 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, it is first determined in step S21 whether or not the power button PB has been pressed. In step S22, it is determined whether or not the upper switch of the acceleration / deceleration switch SK has been pressed. In step S23, it is determined whether or not the down switch of the acceleration / deceleration switch SK has been pressed. In step S24,
Whether the shelf memo button TB has been pressed, the bottom memo button SB has been pressed, a key input of the bottom memo button SB for a long time (for example, 3 seconds or more) has been performed, or the bottom memo button SB and the shelf memo button TB have been simultaneously The operation button has been pressed,
It is determined whether another key input has been performed, such as whether the key input has been performed.

In step S21, the power button PB
Is pressed, the process moves to step S30. Step S
At 30, it is determined whether or not the motor 12 is on. If the motor 12 is already on, step S
The process proceeds to 31 and the motor 12 is stopped. If the motor 12 is off, the process proceeds to step S32 to determine whether the power button PB is in a frozen state. If it is not in the frozen state, the process proceeds to step S35 and the motor 12
Turn on. If the power button PB is in the frozen state, the process shifts to step S33 to determine whether or not the motor return condition is satisfied. The motor return condition is, for example, a condition for detecting the temperature of the motor 12 or the like after the motor 12 stops, and enabling the motor 12 to rotate when cooled to a predetermined temperature. Here, if the motor return condition is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S22 in FIG. 9 with the motor 12 kept in the off state. If the motor return condition is satisfied, the flow shifts to step S34 to release the frozen state of the power button PB. Then, in step S35, the motor 12 is turned on.

When the upper switch of the acceleration / deceleration switch SK is pressed in step S22 of FIG. 9, the process proceeds to step S40. In step S40, the shift speed is increased. The gear stage SC at this time is stored in the reading unit 28 and is displayed on the speed display unit 5e in the display processing. In a step S41, it is determined whether or not the shift speed SC is the seventh speed. If the seventh speed is the seventh speed, the switching unit 41 is switched in a step S42, and the boosting circuit 42 boosts the supply voltage of the external power supply 40. To the PWM drive circuit 25. However, when the power button PB is in the frozen state, although not shown, even if the upper switch of the acceleration / deceleration switch SK is pressed, steps S22 to S4 are performed.
The process moves to step S23 without moving to 0.

In step S23, the acceleration / deceleration switch S
When the lower switch of K is pressed, the process proceeds to step S43. In step S43, the gear position is reduced. The gear stage SC at this time is also stored in the reading unit 28 and is displayed on the speed display unit 5e. In step S44, it is determined whether or not the shift stage SC is the sixth speed. If the sixth speed is the sixth speed, the switching unit 41 is switched in step S45 to change the PWM drive circuit 25 without increasing the supply voltage of the external power supply 40. To be supplied.

If another key input has been made in step S24, the flow shifts to step S46 to perform another key input process corresponding to the pressed key. For example, when the shelf memo button TB is pressed, the water depth at this time is stored in the display data storage area 30 as the upper shelf position, and a value obtained by subtracting the current water depth from the water depth at the bottom is displayed as the bottom shelf position. 30. When the bottom memo button SB is pressed, the water depth at this time is stored in the display data storage area 30 as the water depth of the water bottom. When the bottom memo button SB is pressed for 3 seconds or more, the display mode is switched from the top to the bottom, and when the jig button IB is pressed, the operation mode is switched to the jig mode.

<Characteristics of Electric Reel> In this electric reel, a current value as shown in FIG. 5 is used as a criterion for stopping the motor 12 and turning off the motor 12 in order to prevent the motor 12 and the FET 25a from burning. , FET
A set of seven conditions is brought about by a combination of three factors, the temperature of 25a and the time these conditions last. For this reason, burnout of the motor 12 and the like in the electric reel is effectively prevented, and it is less likely that the electric reel cannot be unnecessarily wound up and the fisherman is inconvenienced.

In this electric reel, the motor 12 is turned off when the stop condition is reached, and the motor 12 is prohibited from being turned on by freezing the power button PB until the motor return condition is satisfied. Furthermore, since the remaining time tb until the motor 12 stops is displayed on the water depth display section 5a, the angler can rotate the motor 12 to the maximum until the motor 12 stops, so that the performance of the motor 12 can be sufficiently improved. It can be used for

[Other Embodiments] (a) In the above embodiment, the remaining time tb is displayed on the water depth display section 5a as a means for notifying the time for stopping the motor 12, but the invention is not limited to this. It is not something to be done. For example, the alarm 7 may be sounded every predetermined time from several seconds before the motor 12 stops. Alternatively, the remaining time may be counted down every predetermined time by voice.

(B) In the above-described embodiment, the control for stopping the motor 12 by the electronic breaker processing is performed. However, the control for gradually stopping the rotation of the motor 12 may be performed. Further, control may be performed such that the rotation speed of the motor 12 is gradually reduced and then the low-speed rotation is maintained. (C) In the above embodiment, the motor stop condition is set by the temperature of the motor 12 and the current value supplied to the motor 12, but the present invention is not limited to this, and only one of the conditions is set as the motor stop condition. Is also good.

(D) After a certain motor stop condition is satisfied and the timer 8 is operated, if the state of the motor 12 changes and shifts to a different motor stop condition, the timer 8 is reset, and the next motor stop condition is changed to the previous motor stop condition. It may be made to depend on the motor stop condition. For example, a certain motor stop condition X
Is satisfied, and the motor stop time ta (x) is set. When c seconds have elapsed, the remaining time tb (x) of the timer 8 is equal to ta.
(X) -c. At this time, it is assumed that the state of the motor 12 changes, another motor stop condition Y is satisfied, and d seconds have elapsed. Here, normally, that is, when the motor stop condition Y is satisfied alone, the motor stop time ta (y) seconds is set, and the remaining time tb (y) of the timer 8 = ta (y) −
It is represented as d. However, here, the conversion time e seconds is adjusted in consideration of the consumption time of c seconds under the motor stop condition X. Therefore, the remaining time tb (y) of the timer 8 = ta
(Y) -de. As a specific conversion method, there is a method in which the ratio between the consumption time in the previous motor stop condition and the remaining time of the subsequent motor stop time is considered. As shown in the stop condition table of FIG. 5, for example, when the temperature is 7 A or more at all temperatures, the motor stop time ta (x) = 6
0 seconds. Here, after elapse of c = 30 seconds, 8
Suppose that it became A or more. Here, if it is normal, d = 0 seconds and the remaining time tb (y) = ta (y) −d = 30−0 =
Although it is 30 seconds, half of the total time (c / ta (x) = 30/60 = 1/2) has already been consumed at 7A, so at 8A, the other half, that is, the conversion time e =
ta (y) * 1/2 = 30 * 1/2 = 15 seconds. Therefore, the remaining time tb (y) = ta (y) -de = 3
It is expressed as 0-0-15 = 15 seconds.

According to the present invention, in an electric reel having an electronic breaker function, by notifying the operation time of the electronic breaker, the angler can rotate the motor as much as possible until the motor decelerates or stops. Therefore, the performance of the motor can be fully utilized.
