Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in an electric fishing reel having a spool driving motor for winding and driving a spool rotatably supported on a reel body, and more particularly to a spool capable of winding a fishing line. The present invention relates to an electric fishing reel having a clutch mechanism for switching between a state and a free rotatable state.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art This type of electric reel for fishing is generally
The clutch includes a clutch mechanism capable of selectively switching the spool between a free rotation state (clutch OFF) and a fishing line rewindable state (clutch ON), and a spool driving motor for rotating the spool.

[0003] Unlike such products in other technical fields, such electric fishing reels are used in harsh environments (fishing grounds) where seawater, foreign matter and the like are liable to invade. Waterproofing of the housing for electrical components is essential. Therefore, in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 2602169, one sealing material is interposed between the rotating shaft of the spool driving motor for applying a rotating force to the spool and the supporting portion of the reel body that supports the rotating shaft of the motor. A waterproof structure that seals the motor drive unit from the outside is disclosed.
Further, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-25342, one end of a rotating shaft of a motor is used as an output unit for rotating a spool, and the other end of the rotating shaft of a motor is used as an output unit for driving a clutch mechanism. An electric clutch mechanism for automatically switching ON / OFF of a clutch mechanism using a reverse rotation force of a motor is disclosed. In this case, too, one end of a rotating shaft and a supporting portion of a reel body supporting the rotating shaft are disclosed. , And between the other end of the rotating shaft and the supporting portion of the reel body that supports the rotating shaft, one sealing material is interposed.

[0004]

As described above, the sealing member interposed between the motor rotating shaft on the movable side (rotating drive side) and the support of the reel body on the fixed side is a motor. Because it receives a force from the rotating shaft, it is easier to wear (deteriorate) than when it is interposed between the fixed parts. In addition, the usage form of the electric reel (frequency of use, hoisting load,
The usage time, weather conditions, fishing ground conditions, etc.) vary, and the failure state of the seal material during use, such as abrasion, cutting and damage, varies from reel to reel, and there is only one seal material. Therefore, it is difficult to maintain the waterproof performance of the sealing material, the performance of the electrical components, and the like satisfactorily over a long period of time.

Further, the frictional resistance between the motor rotation shaft and the side of the reel body (seal material) supporting the motor shaft fluctuates depending on the degree of wear or damage of the seal material. Therefore, when the motor stops, an overrun phenomenon of the drive unit occurs, and the degree of the overrun varies. Therefore, depending on the degree of wear and damage of the sealing material, there is a possibility that the rotation operation of the spool and the switching operation of the clutch mechanism cannot be performed accurately and stably.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electric fishing reel capable of maintaining good waterproof performance and driving performance of an electric member for a long period of time. To provide.

[0007]

A clutch mechanism 40 that performs FF switching control) is disposed.

The clutch mechanism 40 is slidable along the spool shaft 6 and the speed reduction mechanism 20 (specifically, the second
The pinion 42 is engaged with or disengaged from the carrier 34).

In this embodiment, the pinion 42 is used to turn on / off the clutch mechanism 40 by the clutch operating mechanism 13.
The FF switching control indirectly engages or disengages with the spool shaft 6 via the speed reduction mechanism 20 (second carrier 34). In a double-bearing fishing reel (not shown) in which the mechanism 20 is not arranged, the ON / O of the clutch mechanism 40 is set.

Specifically, the clutch operating mechanism 13 is connected to the first one-way clutch 11 and transmits a driving force when the motor 12 rotates in the reverse direction. There are first and second planetary gear mechanisms 110 and 112 for clutch operation for transmitting the rotational motion to the clutch mechanism 40 by reducing the rotational motion.

The driving force transmitting shaft 70 is connected to the clutch operating mechanism 1.
3 and a motor power transmission section for transmitting the power of the motor 12 to the clutch mechanism 40, and the support section 2A of the reel body 2
Operatively supported by Further, a seal member 120 is interposed between the supported portion 70a of the driving force transmission shaft 70 and the support portion 2A of the reel body 2.

By the way, the driving force transmitting shaft 70 on the movable side (rotating drive side) and the supporting portion 2 of the reel body 2 on the fixed side are used.
Since the seal member 120 interposed between the fixing portions A receives the rotational force from the driving force transmission shaft 70, the seal member 120 is more likely to be worn (deteriorated) than when interposed between the fixed portions. Further, depending on the degree of wear or damage of the sealing material 120, the driving force transmission shaft 70
There is a possibility that the frictional resistance value between the motor and the reel body 2 (the seal member 120) supporting the same will fluctuate, and when the motor 12 is stopped, an overrun phenomenon of the drive units of the clutch operating mechanism 13 and the clutch mechanism 40 will occur. is there. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the seal member 120 is composed of a plurality of seal members 120A and 120B such as O-rings, and one of them 120A (120B) is detachable (adhered) for waterproofing the power side of the motor 12. No) functions as a main seal member, and the other 120B (120A)
20A (120B) and the supported portion 7 of the main seal member 120A (120B) and the driving force transmission shaft 70
It functions as a detachable (not adhered) adjusting seal member for adjusting the frictional resistance value between Oa. The seal members 120A and 120B are arranged side by side along the axial direction of the driving force transmission shaft 70, and
The driving force transmission shaft 70 is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the supported portion 70a in a state of being abutted against a holding projection 70b formed on the supported portion 70a.

The first planetary gear mechanism 110 includes a first sun gear 72 stopped by the driving force transmission shaft 70 and a plurality of first planetary gears 74 meshed with the first sun gear 72.
And an internal gear 76 with which the first planetary gear 74 always meshes.
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 connected to the slide plate 48 of the clutch mechanism 40. The second carrier 86 is supported by the driving force transmission shaft 70, and has a boss 86a that engages with the elongated hole 48b of the slide plate 48.

Next, an operation of controlling the ON / OFF switching of the clutch mechanism 40 by the above-described clutch operating mechanism 13 will be described.

When a switch 190A provided on an operation panel 190 (see FIG. 3) mounted on the surface of the reel body 2 (the surface facing the angler) is operated, the clutch operating mechanism 13 turns on the clutch mechanism 40. / OFF switching control. That is, the clutch ON state (pinion 4
2 is engaged with the second carrier 34 of the speed reduction mechanism 20; the fishing line can be wound up; and the clutch is off (the pinion 42 is not engaged with the second carrier 34; the spool 8 can rotate freely). State) automatically or selectively.

First, when the clutch mechanism 40 is controlled to be switched to the clutch OFF state (not shown), the pinion 42 is disengaged from the second carrier 34 of the speed reduction mechanism 20. 8 is maintained in a freely rotatable state. In this state, the fishing line is paid out from the spool 8 by the free fall of the device.

In this embodiment, a position detecting device for detecting the position of the slide plate 48 is provided. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the position detecting device includes a magnet 1 attached to a slide plate 48.
And a magnetic sensor 131, 132 (131; a sensor for detecting clutch ON, 132; a sensor for detecting clutch OFF) provided on a portion of the reel body 4 which can face the magnet 130, and the slide plate in the clutch OFF state. By magnetically detecting the position 48 by the magnetic sensor 132, a stop signal for stopping the motor 12 is transmitted to the motor 12. As a result, the clutch O
The FF 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
When the upper switch 190A 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 12b is connected to the clutch operating mechanism 13 via the first one-way clutch 11, and this first one-way clutch 11 is used when the motor 12 rotates in the reverse direction. , The driving force of the right driving shaft 12b is transmitted to the clutch operating mechanism 13.

The driving force of the right drive shaft 12b transmitted to the clutch operating mechanism 13 is reduced by the first planetary gear mechanism 110 and then 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 second carrier 86 is rotated by 180 ° by detection control by the position detection device.

When the second carrier 86 rotates by 180 °, the boss 86a rotates by 180 ° in the direction of arrow R (see FIG. 4) with the rotation. At this time, while the boss 86a slides along the elongated hole 48a, the second carrier 8
6 is converted to a linear motion in the direction of arrow D2 (see FIG. 4) and transmitted to the slide plate 48.

As described above, the slide plate 48 has the arrow D
When sliding in two directions (the middle of the sliding operation in the direction of arrow D2 from the clutch OFF state is shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 4), the sliding piece 44 separates from the inclined cam 48a, and The slide piece 44 is slid in the axial direction to the original position by a biasing means (not shown) for biasing the slide piece 44. Therefore, the pinion gear 42 is engaged with the second carrier 34, the clutch is switched to the ON state (see FIGS. 3 to 5), 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, but another method for realizing this control is as follows. For example, a method of electrically or magnetically counting the number of rotations of the motor 12, detection of the rotation position of the second carrier 86 that rotates in conjunction with the motor 12, or monitoring of the output state of the current value to the motor 12 A method of stopping the current output when the leverage current value exceeds a predetermined value can be cited.

In a state where the clutch mechanism 40 is switched to the clutch ON state (the fishing line can be wound up) by the clutch operating mechanism 13, for example, when the motor 12 is rotated forward by a switch operation of the operation panel 190, the forward rotation movement is performed. Are output to the left drive shaft 12a and the right drive shaft 12b, respectively.

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 enters 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 operation mechanism 13.

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 to the spool shaft 6 to rotate and rotate in the fishing line feeding 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 payout 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 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), 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 movement 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 the 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 any 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 clutch mechanism 40 is in the clutch ON state, the switch 19 on the operation panel 90 is
When the 0A is turned OFF, the clutch can be set to the OFF state again.

That is, the switch 1 on the operation panel 90
When the 90A is turned OFF, the motor 12 reversely rotates again, 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 the driving force transmission state, the driving force of the right drive shaft 12b is transmitted to the clutch operating mechanism 13. As described above, the driving force of the right drive shaft 12b transmitted to the clutch operation mechanism 13 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 arrow D1 direction,
The slide piece 44 is lifted (slids in the axial direction along the pair of guide rods 46) by the inclined cam 48a against a biasing means (not shown) for biasing the slide piece 44, and the pinion gear is rotated. 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.

As described above, in the electric fishing reel 1 of the present embodiment, the driving force transmission shaft 70 on the movable side (rotation driving side) and the support 2A of the reel body 2 on the fixed side are used. A plurality of seal members 120A and 120B are interposed therebetween, and one of them 120A (120B) functions as a detachable (not bonded) main seal member for waterproofing the power side of the motor 12, and the other 120B (120B). 120
A) is detachable (adhered) for adjusting the waterproof performance of the main seal member 120A (120B) and the frictional resistance between the main seal member 120A (120B) and the supported portion 70a of the driving force transmission shaft 70. No) Functions as an adjustment seal member. That is, the two seal members 120
A and 120B cooperate to waterproof the motor drive unit, so that the overall waterproof performance is enhanced, and the two seal members 120A and 120B cooperate to drive the driving force transmitting shaft 70.
Of the sealing members 120A,
The wear of the motor 120B is reduced, and the frictional force is increased so that the overrun phenomenon of the drive units of the clutch operating mechanism 13 and the clutch mechanism 40 when the motor 12 is stopped is prevented.

Further, the two seal members 120A, 120
B is not fixed to the supported portion 70a of the driving force transmission shaft 70 by adhesion or the like, but is simply detachably mounted on the outer periphery of the supported portion 70a while being held by the holding projection 70b. Therefore, the seal members 120A and 120B can be replaced depending on the use condition of the reel and the wear state of the seal members 120A and 120B due to the use progress,
Further, if necessary (or at the manufacturing stage), the number of the seal members 120A and 120B can be changed to simultaneously adjust the waterproof performance and the frictional resistance value. Therefore, it is possible to stably maintain the good waterproof performance and the driving performance of the electric member, and to set the waterproof power according to the situation.

Such an effect is obtained by connecting the driving force transmission shaft 70 to the clutch mechanism 40 as in the present embodiment.
The clutch mechanism 40 is turned ON / O by the power of the motor 12.
This is particularly advantageous in a configuration that is flipped. Because
This is because an appropriate frictional resistance can be applied to the driving force transmission shaft 70 by changing the number of the seal members or the number of the seal members, and a clutch switching operation failure due to wear or damage of the seal members can be prevented.

It is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be variously modified without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, in the embodiment described above, the number of the adjusting seal members 120B (120A) for adjusting the waterproof performance and the frictional resistance value is one, but the number is not limited to one and may be plural. The number should be adjusted according to the situation. In the above-described embodiment, the seal members 120A and 120B are detachably mounted on the outer periphery of the supported portion 70a of the driving force transmission shaft 70.
As shown in (1), it may be detachably mounted in a concave groove 143 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the support portion 2A of the reel body 2.
