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 having a clutch mechanism for switching a spool between a fishing line take-up state and a free rotation state.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An electric reel for fishing of this type has a clutch mechanism capable of selectively switching a spool between a free rotation state (clutch OFF) and a fishing line take-up state (clutch ON), and a spool mechanism. A spool drive motor for rotating the clutch mechanism, and turning off the clutch mechanism by utilizing the drive force of the spool drive motor.
Can be automatically returned from ON to ON.

[0003] For example, in an electric fishing reel disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-335341, a spool drive motor is disposed on a spool shaft, and the driving force of the spool drive motor is transmitted from a pinion shaft via a power transmission mechanism. The clutch mechanism from OFF to O
N can be automatically restored.

In the electric fishing reel disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-107853, a spool drive motor is disposed on a shaft different from the spool shaft, and the driving force of the spool drive motor is switched. By transmitting the signal to the clutch mechanism via the return mechanism, the clutch mechanism is turned from OFF to O
N is automatically restored.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 4-66042 and 6-31834 disclose switching of a clutch mechanism to both ON / OFF by a clutch drive motor or an actuator provided separately from a spool drive motor. An electric fishing reel for performing fishing is disclosed.

[0006]

By the way, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
In the electric fishing reel disclosed in JP-A-335341 and JP-A-9-107853, the operation of returning the clutch mechanism from OFF to ON is performed automatically using the driving force of the spool drive motor. However, there is no operation other than manual operation for switching the clutch mechanism from ON to OFF. Therefore, for example, when performing a shaking operation (operation for continuously moving the device up and down) near the same shelf during fishing, the following operation must be repeated.

That is, after the mechanism is manually switched from ON to OFF to drop the device freely, the spool drive motor is driven at a desired timing to automatically return the clutch mechanism from OFF to ON. Then, the fishing line is wound up by a predetermined amount. Then, the clutch mechanism is manually switched again from ON to OFF, and the device is allowed to freely fall. However, such an operation is very complicated,
Not realistic.

[0008] Further, even if the above-mentioned shaking operation is performed using only the driving force of the spool driving motor,
After the clutch mechanism is automatically returned from OFF to ON, the driving force of the spool drive motor is used only for rotating the spool in the fishing line winding direction. However, the device cannot be positioned near the same shelf.

Further, in the electric fishing reel disclosed in JP-A-4-66042 and JP-A-6-31834, the on / off switching of the clutch mechanism cannot be manually performed, so that the battery is not charged. Fishing is not possible when power is cut off. Therefore, it is necessary to always carry a spare battery, and the luggage at the time of fishing increases, which is troublesome.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances. It is an object of the present invention to be able to automatically and continuously perform a sharpening operation on the same shelf and to turn off the power of a battery. ON / O of clutch mechanism
An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing electric reel capable of performing FF switching.

[0011]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a spool rotatably supported between both side plates of a reel body, a motor for rotating the spool, and a rotation of the motor. An electric fishing reel comprising a deceleration mechanism for decelerating the motion and transmitting the spool to a spool, and a clutch mechanism capable of switching the spool between a free rotation state and a fishing line winding state. It is characterized by comprising electric operation means for driving operation and manual operation means for manually driving the clutch mechanism.

In this embodiment, the pinion 42 is indirectly controlled via the speed reduction mechanism 20 (second carrier 34) by the ON / OFF switching control of the clutch mechanism 40 by the clutch electric operation mechanism 13A or the clutch manual operation mechanism 13B. For example, in a dual-bearing fishing reel (not shown) in which the speed reduction mechanism 20 is not disposed on the other end side of the spool shaft 6, the spool shaft 6 is engaged or disengaged with the spool shaft 6. The pinion 42 may directly engage or disengage with the spool shaft 6 by ON / OFF switching control of the clutch mechanism 40.

The pinion 42 has a circumferential groove 4 on its outer peripheral surface.

As shown in FIG. 1, a drive gear 52 attached to a handle shaft 50 is attached to the pinion 42.
The drive gear 52 and the handle shaft 5

When the spool 12 is rotated in the fishing line winding direction by the motor 12 at the time of actual fishing, the handle shaft 50 is rotated in reverse in order to prevent the handle shaft 50 from rotating in conjunction with the rotation. A prevention mechanism is provided.

The reverse rotation preventing mechanism includes a ratchet 56 having ratchet claws 56a formed on the outer peripheral surface at a predetermined pitch.
And a stopper 58 which is constantly engaged with the ratchet pawl 56a with a constant urging force.

On the other hand, when rotating the spool 8 in the fishing line winding direction by rotating the manual handle 60 attached to the handle shaft 50, the handle shaft 50 is rotated in conjunction with the rotation of the manual handle 60. It can be rotated.

Next, the configuration of the electric clutch operating mechanism 13A will be described.

As shown in detail in FIG. 4, the clutch electric operating mechanism 13A is connected to the right drive shaft 12b of the motor 12 via the first one-way clutch 11, and when the motor 12 rotates in the reverse direction, The clutch mechanism 40 is driven (clutch ON / OFF switching control) using the driving force of the right drive shaft 12b output from the first one-way clutch 11, and the pinion 42 is moved to the speed reduction mechanism 20 (second carrier). 34) can be engaged or disengaged.

And is fixed to the right frame 4b via the.

On the other hand, the second planetary gear mechanism 112 is a second planetary gear mechanism
, And a plurality of second planetary gears 82 meshed with the second sun gear 80.
Are always meshed with the internal gear 76.

Each of the plurality of first planetary gears 74 has a first
Is rotatably supported by a carrier 84 of the first type.
The carrier 84 is connected to the second sun gear 80 so as to rotate integrally therewith. The plurality of second planetary gears 82 are each rotatably supported by a second carrier 86, and the second carrier 86 is a one-way clutch (hereinafter, referred to as a fourth one-way clutch). 9
0 is connected to the circular plate 91. In this case, when the second carrier 86 rotates with the reverse rotation of the motor 12, the fourth one-way clutch 90 transmits the rotational force to the circular plate 91. However, the fourth one-way clutch 90 operates the clutch manual operating mechanism 13B described later. Thus, when the circular plate 91 rotates, the rotational force is not transmitted to the second carrier 86. The circular plate 91 is supported by the reel body 4 via a bearing 111, and has a boss 91a that engages with the elongated hole 48b of the slide plate 48.

Next, the configuration of the clutch manual operation mechanism 13B will be described.

As shown in detail in FIG. 4, the manual clutch operating mechanism 13B includes an operation knob 100 rotatably mounted on the outside of the reel body 4 and an operation knob 100 provided inside the reel body 4 and integrated with the operation knob 100.

The clutch manual operation mechanism 13B includes:
Means for holding the ON / OFF state of the clutch mechanism 40 by holding the rotational position of the operation knob 100 is provided. Specifically, this means is provided with the operation knob 10
0 is held at a predetermined rotation position.
That is, a pair of engaging grooves 120 facing each other at an angular interval of 180 ° in the circumferential direction are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the circular receiving portion 4c of the reel body 4 that receives the operation knob 100. On the other hand, the operation knob 100 is formed with one hole 123 along its radial direction.
An engagement member 121 that can resiliently engage with the engagement groove 120 is accommodated therein. In this case, the engaging member 121 is
The hemispherical head is constantly urged in a direction protruding from the hole 123 by a spring 122 disposed in the inside 3.

Next, the aforementioned clutch electric operating mechanism 13
The operation of ON / OFF switching control of the clutch mechanism 40 by A will be described.

When the operation panel 190 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) mounted on the surface of the reel body 2 (the surface facing the angler) is operated, the clutch mechanism 40 is turned on / off by the clutch electric operation mechanism 13A. Is done. That is, the clutch is in the ON state (the pinion 42 is
0, a state engaged with the second carrier 34; a state in which the fishing line can be wound up) and a clutch OFF state (a state in which the pinion 42 is disengaged from the second carrier 34; a state in which the spool 8 can freely rotate). Automatically or selectively switched.

First, in the state where the clutch mechanism 40 is controlled to be switched to the clutch OFF state (the state shown in FIGS. 7 and 8), the pinion 42 is disengaged from the second carrier 34 of the speed reduction mechanism 20. Therefore, the spool 8
The free rotation is maintained. In this state,
The fishing line is paid out from the spool 8 by the free fall of the device.

In the present embodiment, a position detecting device for detecting the position of the slide plate 48 is provided. As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 5, and 7, the position detecting device is provided at magnets 130 and 130 attached to the slide plate 48 and at a portion of the reel body 4 that can face the magnets 130 and 130. The slide plate 4 in the clutch OFF state.
By magnetically detecting the position 8, a stop signal for stopping the motor 8 is sent to the motor 12. As a result, the clutch OFF state is maintained.

When a desired amount of fishing line has been paid out (for example,
When the device reaches a desired shelf), the operation panel 190
Is turned on, the motor 12 rotates in the reverse direction, and the reverse rotation at that time is output to the left drive shaft 12a and the right drive shaft 12b, respectively.

The left drive shaft 12a is connected to an interlocking gear mechanism via a second one-way clutch 15.
When the motor 12 rotates in the reverse direction, the one-way clutch 15
Since the free rotation state is established, the driving force of the left drive shaft 12a is not transmitted to the interlocking gear mechanism.

On the other hand, the right drive shaft 12 b is connected to the clutch electric operating mechanism 13 via the first one-way clutch 11.
A of the first one-way clutch 11
When the motor 12 rotates in the reverse direction, the driving force is transmitted, so that the driving force of the right drive shaft 12b is transmitted to the clutch electric operating mechanism 13A.

The driving force of the right drive shaft 12b transmitted to the clutch electric operating mechanism 13A is applied to the first planetary gear mechanism 110.
After that, the speed is reduced by the second planetary gear mechanism 112.

First, the driving force of the right drive shaft 12b transmitted to the first planetary gear mechanism 110 is transmitted to the first sun gear 72 via the driving force transmission shaft 70, and the first sun gear 72 Is rotated in a predetermined direction. At this time, due to the rotational movement of the first sun gear 72, the plurality of first planetary gears 74 revolve along the internal gear 76 while rotating at the same time.

Since the plurality of first planetary gears 74 are rotatably supported by the first carrier 84, the plurality of first planetary gears 74 are provided.
When the planetary gear 74 revolves while rotating, the first carrier 84 is rotated by the revolving motion. At this time, the rotational motion of the first carrier 84 is transmitted to the second planetary gear mechanism 112.

The rotational movement of the first carrier 84 transmitted to the second planetary gear mechanism 112 is applied to the first carrier 8.
The rotation is transmitted to the second sun gear 80 connected to the fourth gear 4 and rotates the sun gear 80 in a predetermined direction. At this time, the second
Due to the rotational movement of the sun gear 80, the plurality of second planetary gears 82 revolve along the internal gear 76 while rotating at the same time.

Since the plurality of second planetary gears 82 are rotatably supported by the second carrier 86, the plurality of second planetary gears 82
When the planetary gear 82 revolves while rotating, the second carrier 86 is rotated by the revolving motion. At this time, the rotational movement of the second carrier 86 is transmitted to the circular plate 91 via the fourth one-way clutch 90,
The circular plate 91 is rotated by 180 °. When the circular plate 91 rotates, the rotating member 104 and the operation knob 100 that engage with the circular plate 91 also rotate in the same direction.

When the circular plate 91 rotates by 180 °,
With the rotation, the boss 91a moves in the direction of arrow R (see FIG. 7).
To rotate 180 °. At this time, the boss 91a is
At the same time, the rotary motion of the circular plate 91 is converted into a linear motion in the direction of arrow D2 (see FIG. 7) and transmitted to the slide plate 48 while sliding along the line a.

As described above, the slide plate 48 has the arrow D
When sliding in two directions, the sliding piece 44
Is disengaged from the inclined cam 48a, and is slid in the axial direction to the original position by an urging means (not shown) for urging the slide piece 52. Therefore, the pinion gear 42 is engaged with the second carrier 34, the clutch is switched to the ON state (see FIGS. 5 and 6), and the clutch ON state is determined based on the detection signal of the position detecting device. Is held by being stopped.

In this embodiment, the rotation of the motor 12 is controlled to stop at every 180 ° by detecting the moving position of the slide plate 48. However, another method for realizing this control is as follows. For example, a method of electrically or magnetically counting the number of revolutions of the motor 12, a method of monitoring the output state of a current value to the motor 12, and stopping the current output when the current value exceeds a predetermined value, etc. Can be mentioned.

Next, a case in which the clutch mechanism 40 is controlled to be switched on / off by the manual clutch operating mechanism 13B will be described.

First, in a state where the engaging member 121 is click-engaged with the one engaging groove 120 of the receiving portion 4c of the reel body 4, the operation knob 100 is moved in one direction (specifically, the clutch is turned off). When the rotating operation is performed in the same direction as the rotation direction of the circular plate 91 during the operation of the electric operation mechanism 13A), the rotating member 104 and the circular plate 91 engaged with the rotating member rotate to operate the clutch mechanism 40. At this time, the rotation of the circular plate 91 is controlled by the operation of the fourth one-way clutch 90 so that the clutch electric operating mechanism 1 is rotated.
It is not transmitted to the 3A side (second carrier 86).

When the operating knob 100 is rotated by 180 ° and the engaging member 121 is click-engaged with the other engaging groove 120, the clutch is set to the ON state. Specifically, when the operation knob 100 rotates 180 °,
The boss 91a of the circular plate 91 rotates 180 ° in the direction of arrow R (see FIG. 7), and the slide plate 48 moves
Slide in two directions. Thereby, the slide piece 44
Is disengaged from the inclined cam 48a, and is slid in the axial direction to the original position by an urging means (not shown) for urging the slide piece 52. Therefore, the pinion gear 42 is engaged with the second carrier 34, the clutch is switched to the ON state (see FIGS. 5 and 6), and the clutch ON state is determined based on the detection signal of the position detecting device. Is held by being stopped.

When the clutch mechanism 40 is switched to the clutch ON state (the fishing line can be wound up) by the clutch electric operating mechanism 13A or the manual clutch operating mechanism 13B, the motor 12 is rotated forward by operating the operation panel 190, for example. And the forward rotation of the left drive shaft 12a
And to the right drive shaft 12b.

The right drive shaft 12b is connected to a clutch control mechanism 13 via a first one-way clutch 11.
Since the first one-way clutch 11 is in a free rotation state when the motor 12 rotates forward, the driving force of the right drive shaft 12b is not transmitted to the clutch electric operating mechanism 13A.

On the other hand, the left drive shaft 12a is connected to the interlocking gear mechanism via the second one-way clutch 15, and this second one-way clutch 15 is used when the motor 12 rotates forward. , The driving force is transmitted, so that the left driving shaft 1
The driving force of 2a is transmitted to the interlocking gear mechanism.

The left drive shaft 12a transmitted to the interlocking gear mechanism
Is transmitted from the driving gear 17 connected to the second one-way clutch 15 to the spool driving gear 14 via the intermediate gear 19, and moves the spool shaft 6 in the fishing line unwinding direction (reverse to the fishing line winding direction). Direction). Then, the rotational movement of the spool shaft 6 is transmitted to the spool 8 via the speed reduction mechanism 20 (the first planetary gear mechanism 16 and the second planetary gear mechanism 18).

The rotational movement of the spool shaft 6 transmitted to the first planetary gear mechanism 16 causes the first sun gear 22 fitted and locked to the spool shaft 6 to rotate in the fishing line payout direction.
At this time, the plurality of first planetary gears 24 meshing with the first sun gear 22 revolve around the first sun gear 22 in the fishing line feeding direction while rotating in the fishing line winding direction at the same time.

In this state, the rotation of the plurality of first planetary gears 24 is transmitted to the internal gear 26 engraved on the end face of the spool 8 and rotates the internal gear 26 in the fishing line winding direction. . As a result, the spool 8 on which the internal gear 26 is engraved can be rotated in the fishing line winding direction while being decelerated by the first planetary gear mechanism 16.

When the plurality of first planetary gears 24 revolve in the fishing line feeding direction, the first carriers 32 supporting the first planetary gears 24 are dragged by the orbital movement of the first planetary gears 24 in the fishing line feeding direction. , And the rotational motion is transmitted to the second planetary gear mechanism 18.

The first transmitted to the second planetary gear mechanism 18
Of the carrier 32 of the first carrier 32
And transmitted to a second sun gear 28 connected to the second
Is rotated in the fishing line payout direction. At this time, the second sun gear 28 meshes with the second carrier 3
The plurality of second planetary gears 30 supported by 4 are revolved around the second sun gear 28 in the fishing line payout direction while rotating these second planetary gears 30 in the fishing line winding direction at the same time. A force is applied, and the revolving motion causes a force to rotate the second carrier 34 in the fishing line payout direction.

However, since the rotation of the handle shaft 50 is regulated by the above-described reverse rotation preventing mechanism, the rotation of the pinion 42 connected to the handle shaft 50 via the drive gear 52 is also regulated. As a result, the second carrier 34 with which the pinion 42 is engaged is maintained at a fixed position without rotating without rotating.

Accordingly, when the second sun gear 28 rotates in the fishing line feeding direction, the plurality of second planetary gears 30 supported by the second carrier 34 revolve around the second sun gear 28. Without rotating in a fixed position in the fishing line winding direction.

In this state, the rotation of the plurality of second planetary gears 28 is transmitted to the internal gear 26 engraved on the end face of the spool 8, and rotates the internal gear 26 in the fishing line winding direction. . As a result, the spool 8 on which the internal gear 26 is engraved can be rotated in the fishing line winding direction while being decelerated by the second planetary gear mechanism 18.

As described above, the rotational motion of the spool shaft 6 is transmitted to the spool 8 via the speed reduction mechanism 20 (the first planetary gear mechanism 16 and the second planetary gear mechanism 18), and the spool 8 is wound around the fishing line. During the rotation in the taking direction, the level line mechanism (not shown) is driven at the same time, whereby the fishing line can be wound in parallel with the spool 8.

When the motor 12 is stopped and the manual handle 60 is rotated, the rotational motion of the manual handle 60 is transmitted from the handle shaft 6 to the drive gear 52 via the drag mechanism 54, and then transmitted to the pinion 42. Is transmitted to the speed reduction mechanism 20 (specifically, the second carrier 34) to rotate the second carrier 34 in the fishing line winding direction.

Since a plurality of second planetary gears 30 are supported on the second carrier 34, the second carrier 34
Is rotated in the fishing line winding direction, the rotational motion is transmitted from the plurality of second planetary gears 30 to the first carrier 32 via the second sun gear 28, and then transmitted to the first carrier 32. The first sun gear 22 is transmitted to the first sun gear 22 via a plurality of first planetary gears 24 that are supported, and attempts to rotate the first sun gear 22.

However, since the rotation of the spool shaft 6 into which the first sun gear 22 is non-rotatably fitted is stopped (restricted) by the third one-way clutch 23, the rotation of the spool shaft 6 is stopped. One sun gear 22 does not rotate. Accordingly, the plurality of first planetary gears 22 revolve in the fishing line winding direction while rotating around the first sun gear 22 in a non-rotating state.

At this time, the rotational motion of the plurality of first planetary gears 22 is transmitted to the internal gear 26 without loss, and rotates the internal gear 26 in the fishing line winding direction. As a result, the spool 8 provided with the internal gear 26 can be rotated in the fishing line winding direction. By driving the level wind mechanism at the same time, the fishing line can be wound in parallel with the spool 8.

As described above, when the operation panel 90 is turned off or the operation knob 100 is further turned 180 ° when the clutch mechanism 40 is in the clutch ON state,
The clutch can be set to the OFF state again.

That is, when the operation panel 90 is turned off, the motor 12 rotates again in the reverse direction, and the reverse rotation at that time is output to the left drive shaft 12a and the right drive shaft 12b, respectively. In this case, since the second one-way clutch 15 is in a free rotation state, the driving force of the left drive shaft 12a is not transmitted to the interlocking gear mechanism. On the other hand, since the first one-way clutch 11 is in a driving force transmission state, the driving force of the right drive shaft 12b is transmitted to the clutch electric operating mechanism 13A. As described above, the driving force of the right drive shaft 12b transmitted to the clutch electric operating mechanism 13A is reduced by the first and second planetary gear mechanisms 110 and 112, and then transmitted to the clutch mechanism 40, and the slide plate 48 is slid in the direction of arrow D1. When the slide plate 48 slides in the direction of the arrow D1, the slide piece 44 is lifted by the inclined cam 48a against a biasing means (not shown) for biasing the slide piece 44 (one pair). ), And the pinion gear 42 is disengaged from the carrier 34. As a result, the spool 8 is maintained in a freely rotatable state, and in this state, the fishing line is paid out of the spool 8 by the free fall of the tackle.

On the other hand, when the operation knob 100 is further rotated by 180 ° from the clutch ON state, the boss 91a of the circular plate 91 is further rotated by 180 ° in the direction of arrow R (see FIG. 7). Plate 4
8 slides in the direction of arrow D1. As a result, the slide piece 44 is lifted by the inclined cam 48a, and the pinion gear 42 is disengaged from the carrier 34.

As described above, the electric fishing reel 1 of this embodiment has the electric operation mechanism 13A for driving the clutch mechanism 40 electrically and the manual operation mechanism for driving the clutch mechanism 40 manually. Operating mechanism 13B,
The ON / OFF switching of the clutch can be performed both automatically and manually. Therefore, when the battery runs out, fishing can be continued without a spare battery. Therefore, it is not necessary to carry a spare battery all the time, and fishing with light equipment becomes possible.

The electric reel 1 for fishing according to the present embodiment
Is ON / OFF of the clutch by the electric operation mechanism 13A.
Since bidirectional switching can be performed (both winding and unwinding of the fishing line can be performed electrically), the shearing operation can be performed automatically and continuously on the same shelf.

In the electric fishing reel 1 according to the present embodiment, the power of the manual operation mechanism 13B is separated from the power of the electric operation mechanism 13A by the fourth one-way clutch 90 and transmitted to the clutch mechanism 40. I have to. That is, by the action of the fourth one-way clutch 90, the rotation of the circular plate 91 is changed to the clutch electric operation mechanism 13A side (the second
Of the carrier 86). Therefore, the operation of the operation knob 100 is controlled by the electric operation mechanism 13.
It does not become heavy due to meshing with the gear on the A side (smooth clutch manual operation becomes possible).

The structure for transmitting power from the electric operation mechanism 13A and the manual operation mechanism 13B to the clutch mechanism 40 is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the rotational force of the electric operation mechanism 13A and the manual operation mechanism 13B is transmitted to the clutch gear 48A via the interlocking gear 200, and the slide is performed by the inclined cam 48a provided on the rotating clutch gear 48A. The piece 44 may be operated. In this case, the inclined cam 48a
Are provided at an angular interval of 180 ° in the circumferential direction of the clutch gear 48A (the position of the inclined cam 48a which pushes up the slide piece 44 is indicated by a two-dot chain line in the figure). Further, in order to detect the rotation angle of the clutch gear 48 and output a stop signal to the motor 12 when the clutch is ON / OFF, for example, the interlocking gear 200 meshing with the clutch gear 48 includes the interlocking gear 200 (therefore, the clutch gear 48A). Is provided with a sensor (not shown) for detecting the rotation angle of. The interlocking gear 200 is a circular plate 9
1 is engaged. The boss 9 of the circular plate 91
1a includes a manual operation mechanism 1 similar to the above-described embodiment.
The rotating member 104 of 3B is engaged.

According to such a configuration, the handle shaft 50
Since the degree of freedom of installation of the reel is increased, interference between other parts and the star drag can be avoided, and a more compact reel can be provided.
