However, the above-mentioned conventional example has a structure in which the total winding amount and the number of fishing lines are displayed on a display in conjunction with the ON operation of a power ON / OFF switch.
While repeatedly winding and feeding the fishing line, it was not possible to confirm the total winding amount and number of the fishing line actually wound on the spool in order to respond to changes in the situation of the fishing spot. There is a drawback that it is not easy to judge whether or not to continue the fishing operation in a deep field in response to a change in the situation, or to determine whether or not it is necessary to change the fishing line.

In order to check the total winding amount and the number of fishing lines, the power ON / OFF switch is temporarily turned off during the fishing operation.
It has been pointed out that if the FF is set, troubles such as the yarn length being measured being changed, updated, or erased in the middle may occur. In addition, due to the structure of this type of fishing reel, which has a small display space for the display, if the total winding amount and number are always displayed on the display together with the thread length, these displays will be confused and the visibility will increase. However, there remain problems such as deterioration of the quality.

The present invention has been devised in view of the above circumstances, and is capable of confirming the total winding amount according to the type of fishing line in a timely manner during the continuous fishing operation. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a reel.

In FIG. 2, d0, d1, and h are d0 : Bottom diameter of spool 11 d1 : The total line diameter h when all the fishing lines 49 are wound h: the groove depth of the spool 11 up to the total line diameter.

[0016] The ROM 47 contains the patent No. 2580.
Similarly to the yarn length measuring device disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 087, each calculation formula of L = dNa ² + eNa... D = −πH / N... E = π (D0 + 2HNe / N) is stored. ing.

The line length measuring device disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2580087 sets a specified winding diameter level at a position smaller than the maximum winding diameter of the spool, and winds the fishing line to the specified winding diameter level. The number of rotations of the spool when it is turned and the total number of rotations of the spool when all of the fishing line is wound are detected by rotation number detecting means. After determining the line length calculation formula with the data, the line length calculation formula is calculated and executed based on the actual number of rotations of the spool during actual fishing. This will be described with reference to FIG.
Medium, D0, D1, D2, H is D0 : Bottom diameter of spool 61 D1 : The total line diameter when the fishing line 63 is entirely wound around the spool 61 D2: The line diameter when the fishing line 63 is wound to the specified winding diameter level 65 H: The groove depth of the spool 61 up to the specified winding diameter level 65 Is shown.

This conventional yarn length measuring device is based on the rotation speed N of the spool 61 up to the winding diameter level 65 and the total rotation speed Ne of the spool 61 up to the total yarn winding diameter D1 measured by the rotation speed detecting means. And the yarn length calculation formula stored in the control means, L = dNa ² + eNa. : Actual rotation number of the spool 61 at the time of actual fishing d = -πH / N: constant... E = π (D0 + 2HNe / N): constant. : Total thread diameter D1 The total number of rotations of the spool 61 up to N: the number of rotations of the spool 61 up to the winding diameter level 65 After the constants d and e are determined by a calculation formula, based on the actual number of rotations Na of the spool 61 during actual fishing. The thread length L is obtained by executing a calculation formula, and the thread length L is displayed on a display.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in performing the line length measurement, the angler inputs the number of the fishing lines 49 to be wound on the spool 11 and the total winding amount thereof to the RAM 51, and stores the fishing lines 49 in the spool 11. The total rotation speed Ne of the spool 11 detected by the rotation speed detection means 29 when all of
After determining the calculation formula assuming "Na" and "N" in the calculation formula, the actual rotation speed N of the spool 11 during actual fishing is determined.
The thread length measurement is performed based on a.

That is, as shown in FIG.
By operating the mode changeover switch 35, the mode is sequentially switched to a thread length measurement mode, a basic data input mode, a shelf position setting mode, and a boat position setting mode. When the control means 21 is set to the basic data input mode by operating the mode changeover switch 35, the power lever 1 is turned on.
Numeral 7 functions as input means for storing the number of fishing lines 49 wound on the spool 11 and the total winding amount in the RAM 51, and is displayed on the display 33 in accordance with the operation of the power lever 17. The numerical value that has been increased or decreased.

Then, for example, 8 wound around a bobbin
When winding the fishing line 49 having a total length of 300 meters on the spool 11, the angler adjusts the display on the display 33 to “8” by operating the power lever 17 and resets the switch 37.
Is operated, and then the reset switch 37 is operated by setting the display on the display 33 to "300", whereby the number and the total winding amount thereof are input to the RAM 51. When the fishing line 49 is wound around the spool 11 by the winding operation of the handle 15, the rotation pulse signal of the spool 11 taken in from the reed switch 27 is counted by the up / down counter 53 as described above. When the angler operates the reset switch 37 where the reel has been wound, the CPU 45 substitutes L = 300 (total winding amount of the fishing line 49 input by the angler) into the calculation formula: The depth h is determined, and this is regarded as "H" in the calculation formula, and the calculation formula is determined.

Then, in the yarn length measurement mode, the calculation formula is calculated based on the actual rotational speed Na of the spool 11, the yarn length is measured, and the yarn length L is displayed on the display 33 via the display drive circuit. It has become. The display of the line length on the display 33 is reset by operating the reset switch 37. In the line length measurement mode, the fisherman, for example, pulls out the tackle by 50 m from the water surface while watching the display on the display 33. When the shelf memo switch 39 is operated, the CPU 45 stores the depth of water 50 m in the RAM 51 as a shelf position in the RAM 51, and sets the display value “0.0 m” of the display 33 reset by the operation of the reset switch 37 as the winding end, for example, 2m before that
When the boat switch 41 is operated at a water depth of
Is configured to store the depth of water 2 m in the RAM 51 as the boat stop position.

The operation of the power lever 17 continuously adjusts the motor output from the motor stopped state to the maximum value, and winds the fishing line. When the fishing line is wound and the tackle reaches the boat stop position, The CPU 45 sends a motor stop command to the spool motor drive circuit to stop the spool motor 13, and sends an operation command to the alarm drive circuit to activate the alarm 67 provided on the operation panel 31. When the device reaches the boat stop position by the winding operation, the CPU 45 activates the alarm 67 via the alarm drive circuit.

As in the prior art, the control means 21 and the display 3
A battery power source for driving the third and the like is built in the reel body. In addition, the above-mentioned shelf position and the ship's side position are set in the shelf position setting mode and the ship side position setting mode prior to actual fishing.
It can be set in advance. That is, as described above, the control means 21 is configured to sequentially switch to the thread length measurement mode, the basic data input mode, the shelf position setting mode, and the hull position setting mode by operating the mode changeover switch 35. If the control means 21 is switched to the shelf position setting mode by operating the mode changeover switch 35 prior to actual fishing, the power lever 17 functions as an input means for storing the shelf position in the RAM 51. The numerical value displayed on the display 33 increases or decreases according to the operation of the power lever 17. For example, when the shelf position is set to 120 m according to the advice of the head of a fishing boat, the value is displayed by operating the power lever 17. If the reset switch 37 is operated with the display of the container 33 set to "120", the shelf position "120m" is stored in the RAM 51, and the control means 21 is similarly switched to the boating position setting mode by operating the mode changeover switch 35. And power lever 1
The operation of Step 7 allows the user to set the hull position.

In the basic data input mode, the angler stores the number of the fishing line 49 and the total winding amount thereof in the RAM 5 as described above.
When the number 1 is input, the angler operates the mode changeover switch 35 to control the control means 21 during the continuous fishing operation.
When the fishing line is switched from the line length measurement mode to the basic data input mode, the control means 21
The number of 9 and the total winding amount are displayed on the display 33.

Since the fishing reel 43 according to this embodiment is constructed as described above, in actual fishing, the angler first operates the mode changeover switch 35 to control the control means 21.
Is set to the basic data input mode, the number of the fishing line 49 to be wound on the spool 11 by operating the power lever 17 and the total winding amount thereof are input to the RAM 51, and then the winding line of the handle 15 is operated. May be all wound around the spool 11.

When the spool 11 is rotated by the winding operation of the handle 15, the rotation pulse signal of the spool 11 taken in from the reed switch 27 is increased.
The down counter 53 counts. When the angler operates the reset switch 37 after all the fishing lines 49 have been wound, the CPU 45 determines the total number of rotations N of the spool 11 detected by the up / down counter 53.
e, the actual spool speed N at the time of actual fishing
a) and "the number of rotations N of the spool up to the winding diameter level", and substituting L = 300 N = Na = Ne into the above-described equation, and calculating the groove depth h of the spool 11 up to the entire yarn winding diameter. And this will determine the equation.

Then, the angler switches the mode switch 35.
Is operated to switch the control means 21 to the yarn length measurement mode. Thereafter, the CPU 45 of the control means 21 calculates the yarn length L from the formula based on the actual rotation speed Na of the spool 11 taken in from the reed switch 27. This is displayed on the display 33. Further, as described above, if the angler operates the shelf memo switch 39 and the boat-slip switch 41 while watching the display on the display 33 in the line length measurement mode, the RA
A shelf position and a boat position are set in M51. Further, prior to actual fishing, the mode selector switch 35 is operated to set the control means 21 to a shelf position setting mode or a boat position setting mode. By operating the reset switch 37, the position of the shelf and the position of the boat are set.

When the angler operates the mode changeover switch 35 to switch the control means 21 from the line length measurement mode to the basic data input mode while repeatedly winding and unwinding the fishing line 49, the signal of the fishing line 49 is changed. The number and the total winding amount are displayed on the display 33. As described above, in this embodiment, if the angler operates the mode changeover switch 35 to switch the control means 21 to the basic data input mode during the continuous fishing operation, the number of fishing lines 49 and the number of Since the total winding amount is configured to be displayed on the display 33, according to the present embodiment, the fishing operation to the deep place is continued in the process of the continuous fishing operation without turning on / off the power. Was confirmed, and as a result, the practicality was dramatically improved as compared with the conventional case.

According to this embodiment, the power is turned ON / OFF in order to check the number of the fishing lines 49 and the total winding amount.
Since there is no need to perform the measurement, there is no possibility that a trouble such as the yarn length being measured being changed, updated, or deleted will occur.
It should be noted that the line length measuring device mounted on the fishing reel is not limited to the above-described embodiment.
It is needless to say that the present invention can be applied to a fishing reel provided with a line length measuring device disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-15662 or a line length measuring device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-45510. When a line break occurs during actual fishing, the value of the input data is updated by winding all the fishing line and operating the reset switch, and the total winding amount from which the line break has been subtracted is updated. Although a length measuring device is conventionally known, the present invention can be applied to a fishing reel provided with such a line length measuring device.

Thus, with these fishing reels, it is possible to achieve the intended purpose as in the above embodiment.

[0032]

As described above, according to the fishing reel of the present invention, the total winding amount of the fishing line can be confirmed during the continuous fishing operation without turning on / off the power. As a result, the practicality has been dramatically improved as compared with the related art.

Further, according to the present invention, since it is not necessary to turn on / off the power supply to check the total winding amount of the fishing line, the line length being measured may be changed, updated or deleted. There is no risk of trouble.
