Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing reel, and more particularly to a fishing reel equipped with a display for displaying various kinds of fishing information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in order to improve fishing results, many fishing reels have measured the amount of fishing line based on the number of rotations of a spool detected by a number of rotations detection means and used it as an operation panel. Starting with the yarn length measuring device displayed on the above display, the clutch stop is activated by an actuator such as a motor or solenoid based on the measured value of the yarn length measuring device to stop the feeding of the tackle at a predetermined shelf position. In consideration of the device and the protection of the rod tip associated with hoisting of the fishing line, a fish bar stop device that automatically stops the spool motor when the tackle is hoisted to the boat hoist stop position and stops the hoisting of the fish line. At present, various functions for improving the operability of fishing reels have been incorporated in the storage means, and have become more multifunctional and electronic.

Further, in an electric reel, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-
As disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 7060, it is known that the winding speed of the fishing line can be adjusted by continuously increasing or decreasing the motor output of the spool motor by operating the motor output adjusting body mounted on the side of the reel body. Has been. On the operation panel, many button-type switches (operation members) for selecting and switching various functions and changing input values are arranged adjacent to the display unit. Please check
These are operated to reset the displayed value, select and switch various functions, and change the input value.

[0004]

Although these switches are indispensable for the functioning of the fishing reel, a plurality of switches are arranged in the limited space of the reel body because of their multiple functions. Therefore, the display screen such as the liquid crystal of the operation panel has to be made small, and the visibility is deteriorated.

Also, since there are many switches, the operation of various functions installed becomes complicated, and it is difficult to instantaneously switch or store the data. Moreover, the operation such as data input is troublesome and burdens the fisherman. Met. Furthermore, due to the structure with multiple switches on the operation panel, there are many openings on the operation panel depending on the switches, but many waterproof parts are used because it is used in a severe environment. Therefore, it is necessary to waterproof all the openings, and as a result, the number of parts is increased and it is difficult to reduce the cost.

In addition, since a plurality of switches are exposed on the surface of the operation panel, dust, dust, coma, etc. may adhere to the step portion between the operation panel and the switch, leading to malfunction of the switch. . When cleaning to prevent such malfunctions, the switch is an obstacle and it is not possible to sufficiently remove the comase etc.Also, I want to sprinkle with water, but if high pressure water is sprinkled, water will infiltrate from the waterproof part. Therefore, there is a fear that the electric components inside may be damaged, and an early improvement is desired.

In addition, when the above-mentioned motor output adjuster is operated, a finger often touches the switch by mistake, and the switch is protruded from the operation panel. It was pointed out that there was a problem that it was bad and that it looked complicated. Furthermore, it has been pointed out that, because the input is made by pressing the switch, the operation is repeated, for example, on a cold ship, and the fingertip becomes painful and very uncomfortable.

The present invention has been devised in view of such circumstances, and provides a fishing reel capable of enlarging the display screen of the display by eliminating the conventional switch provided on the operation panel. The purpose is to do.

The potentiometer (not shown) is connected via an operating shaft.

When the fisherman operates the power lever 27 in the "actual fishing mode" described later, the change in the resistance value of the potentiometer due to the operation of the power lever 27 is input to the control means (microcomputer) 31 in the control box 29. Then, the control means 31 variably controls the drive current energization time rate to the spool motor 17 as the duty ratio of the pulse signal according to the operation amount of the power lever 43, so that the motor output is continuously from the off state to the motor output 100%. It is designed to increase or decrease.

The spool shaft 9 is the spool 1.
Although the other end side penetrates through the center of 1 and projects into the side plate 7, a known manual winding drive mechanism 33 for transmitting the rotational force of the handle operation to the spool shaft 9 on the projecting end side,
A clutch mechanism 35 for switching the spool 11 between a fishing line winding state (clutch ON) and a fishing line feeding state (clutch OFF) is mounted. A clutch lever 37 is attached to the rear side of the side plate 7, and the clutch mechanism 35 is turned on by operating the clutch lever 37.
By switching to the OFF state, the driving force of the spool motor 17 and the handle 19 is transmitted to and cut off from the spool 11.

A magnet 39 is mounted on one side of the spool 11, and a pair of reed switches 41 is mounted on the frame 1 so as to face the rotation locus of the magnet 33. The reed switch 41 is connected to the control means 31 in the control box 29 mounted between the side plates 5 and 7 above the reel body 3.

Then, the operation panel 4 of the control box 29
A liquid crystal display 43 for displaying setting conditions, operating states, measured values, and other data of various functions incorporated in the control means 31, such as the yarn length, is mounted on the above-mentioned 2. As described above, conventionally, in this type of fishing reel, various button-type switches such as a reset switch, a mode switching switch, a shelf memo switch, and a boat slip switch were mounted on the operation panel adjacent to the display.

However, in this embodiment, in place of such a conventional structure, a touch panel 45 is provided on the display screen (liquid crystal display) 43a of the display unit 43 as shown in FIG. 3 to operate and switch various functions. This is done on the display screen 43a. As a result of eliminating the button type switch,
The display 43 has a large display screen 43a as compared with the conventional display.

FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are explanatory views showing the mechanism of the touch panel described on page 134 of “Monozukuri Dismantling New Book [Vol. 4]” published by Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun, and the touch panel 45 is well known in the art. Base is 0.1-0.2mm
With the polyester film 47 of, the touch panel 45 is
A transparent conductive film (indium tin oxide = ITO) 48 is vapor-deposited on the polyester film 47 in a strip shape with a thickness of about 0.01 μm, and the two are vertically and horizontally stacked so as to intersect each other. Sheet of polyester film 47
The touch panel 45 has a structure in which a dot spacer 51 having a height of about 30 microns is interposed between the polyester films 47 to prevent contact with each other, and the touch panel 45 is a display screen 43 of the display 43.
It is attached on a.

The polyester film 47 is flexible and dents when pressed by the finger 53, and a current flows through the upper and lower conductive films 48 connecting the electrodes with the lead wires, that is, the coordinate axes X and Y.
It is a mechanism to know which position on the display screen 43a is pressed from the intersection point of, and in FIG. 4, when the upper polyester film 47 is pressed with the finger 53, the upper polyester film 47 comes into contact with the lower polyester film 47 and the “F. Will be connected. Then, in the present embodiment, the control means 31 processes this electric current to make various functions work.

Incidentally, these days, instead of the lower polyester film 47 shown in FIG. 3, a conductive film is directly vapor-deposited on a glass display screen of a display unit, and a touch panel is formed by overlaying the conductive film with a polyester film via dot spacers. Is also widely used, and such a touch panel may be used. FIG. 2 shows a control block diagram of the fishing reel 49.
Reference numeral 31 is control means for performing thread length calculation, thread length display, data writing control, etc. The control means 31 is a program memory,
A CPU (central processing unit) 51 that controls and manages a data memory and an input / output device to execute necessary calculations and transfer processes for processing a given job, and a ROM 53 that stores a calculation processing program and a yarn length calculation formula. A RAM 57 for storing data such as the calculation result of the CPU 41, the number of fishing lines 55, and the total winding amount; an up / down counter 59 for counting the rotation pulse signal of the spool 11 fetched from the reed switch 41; Input / output interface 6
1, 63, which are connected to the CPU 5 via the bus 65.
Connected to 1.

Then, the power lever 27 and the touch panel 45 are connected to the input interface 61, and
The display 43 and the spool motor 17 are connected to the output interface 63 via a display drive circuit, a motor drive circuit, etc., and an alarm 67 is further connected. Also, FIG.
Where d0, d1 and h are d0 : Bottom diameter d1 of spool 11 : Total line winding diameter h when the fishing line 55 is completely wound: groove depths of the spool 11 up to the total line winding diameter are respectively shown.

Then, in the ROM 53, there is a patent No. 2580.
Similar to the yarn length measuring device disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 087, L = dNa ² + eNa ... D = −πH / N ... e = π (D0 + 2HNe / N) ... ing.

Thus, the yarn length measuring device disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 258,087 sets the specified winding diameter level at a position smaller than the maximum winding diameter of the spool, and winds the fishing line up to the specified winding diameter level. The number of rotations of the spool when it is rotated and the total number of rotations of the spool when all the fishing line is wound are detected by the number-of-rotations detection means, and the number of these rotations and the basis of the diameter of the line up to the specified winding diameter level After the thread length calculation formula is determined with the data, the thread length calculation formula is calculated and executed based on the actual rotation speed 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 69 D1 : Total line winding diameter D2 when the fishing line 71 is all wound around the spool 69: Line winding diameter H when the fishing line 71 is wound up to the specified winding diameter level 73: Groove depth of the spool 69 up to the specified winding diameter level 73 Is shown.

In this conventional yarn length measuring device, the number of revolutions N of the spool 69 up to the winding diameter level 73 and the total number of revolutions Ne of the spool 69 up to the entire yarn winding diameter D1 are measured by the number of revolutions detecting means. , The yarn length calculation formula L = dNa ² + eNa stored in the control means, where Na : Actual rotation speed of spool 69 during actual fishing d = -πH / N: Constant ... e = π (D0 + 2HNe / N): Constant ... Ne : All spool diameter D1 Total rotation speed N of the spool 69 up to: The constants d and e of the rotation speed of the spool 69 up to the winding diameter level 71 are determined by a formula, and then based on the actual rotation speed Na of the spool 69 at the time of actual fishing. The yarn length L is obtained by executing a calculation formula, and the yarn length L is displayed on the display.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the fishing line length is measured, the fisherman inputs basic data such as the number of fishing lines 55 wound around the spool 11 and the total winding amount thereof to the RAM 57, and After determining the calculation formula by regarding the total rotation speed Ne of the spool 11 detected by the rotation speed detection means when all the fishing lines 55 are wound on the spool 11 as “Na” and “N” in the calculation formulas. The yarn length is measured based on the actual number of revolutions Na of the spool 11 at the time of actual fishing. The procedure for inputting these basic data on the touch panel 45 and the operating method for various functions will be described below.

When the fishing reel 49 is connected to the battery on board via a power supply cord (not shown), the control means 31 is activated and a plurality of display switches 78a to 78d are displayed on the display screen 43a of the display 43 as shown in FIG. Is displayed so that the fisherman can select a desired mode on the initial screen. Then, when the display switch 78a in the "actual fishing mode" is pushed by the finger 53 on this initial screen as shown in FIG. 4, the polyester film 47 on the touch panel 45 comes into contact with the lower polyester film 47 as described above. Since the contact of that portion is connected, the control means 31 that has input this current determines that the "actual fishing mode" has been selected and displays the "actual fishing mode" screen as shown in FIG. , "Basic data input mode" on the initial screen
When the display switch 78b is pressed, the control means 31 which has input the current judges that the "basic data input mode" has been selected and displays the "basic data input mode" screen on the display 43 as shown in FIG. It is like this.

Then, as shown in FIG. 7, "actual fishing mode"
At this time, the control means 31 displays the measured yarn length and the set shelf position in the upper and lower two stages respectively on the yarn length display part 75 and the shelf display part 77 at the substantially center of the display 43. The set ship slip position and the measured coma timer value are displayed on the ship slip display portion 79 and the timer display portion 81 on the upper left and lower portions of the display 43, respectively.

Further, the control means 31 displays the display switches 84a to 84e for operating various functions stored in the ROM 53 on the function display section 83 at the lower right edge of the display 43. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, in the “basic data input mode”, the control means 31 displays the “number” and “total number” on the number display section 85 and the total winding amount display section 87 in the center of the display 43. The display switches 88a and 88b for "winding amount" are displayed, and the display switch 89a for "input" is displayed on the input display section 89.

Furthermore, when the control means 31 is set to the "basic data input mode", "shelf position setting mode", or "boat slip position setting mode", the power lever 27, which is a motor output adjuster, has various functions. It functions as an input and switching operation member for inputting and switching various data, and various data can be input and switched by operating the power lever 27.

Explaining this, for example, a fisherman displays the "basic data input mode" display switch 78 on the initial screen of FIG.
When b is pressed, the screen of FIG. 8 is displayed on the display screen 43a as described above. When the display switch 88a of "number" is pressed with the finger 53 on this display screen 43a, this current is input. The control means 31 switches to a state in which the number can be entered,
Further, when the display switch 88b for "total winding amount" is pressed, the control means 31 is switched to a state in which the total winding amount can be input.

Then, for example, 8 wound around a bobbin
When the fishing line 55 having a total length of 300 meters is wound on the spool 11, the angler presses the "number" display switch 88a with the finger 53 and operates the power lever 27 to display the number display section 85 at "8". ", And then press the" total winding amount "display switch 88b to adjust the display of the total winding amount to" 300 "by operating the power lever 27, and then press the" input "display switch 89a. The number of issues and the total winding amount are R
It is designed to be input to AM57. When the handle 19 is wound and the fishing line 55 is wound around the spool 11, the rotation pulse signal of the spool 11 fetched from the reed switch 41 is output to the up / down counter 5.
Since 9 counts, when the fisherman presses the "input" display switch 89a again when all the fishing lines 55 have been wound up,
The CPU 51 substitutes L = 300 (total winding amount of the fishing line 55 input by the fisherman) Na = N = Ne into the calculation formulas to obtain the groove depth h of the spool 11, and this is calculated as “H” in the calculation formula. It is designed to determine the calculation formula.

Then, when the input of the basic data is completed as described above, the control means 31 automatically returns to the initial mode and displays the initial screen of FIG. 6 on the display 43, and thereafter, the control means 31 At the time of actual fishing, the calculation formula is calculated based on the actual rotation speed Na of the spool 11 to measure the yarn length, and the yarn length L is displayed on the yarn length display section 75 of the display 43 via the display drive circuit. Become.

Further, in the "actual fishing mode", the thread length display of the thread length display portion 75 is "reset" display switch 84e.
Although it is reset by pressing, in the "actual fishing mode", looking at the display of the thread length display section 75, when the angler extends the tackle 50 m from the water surface, for example, the "shelf position" display switch 84c is displayed. When is pressed, the CPU 51 stores the water depth of 50 m in the RAM 57 as the shelf position and displays “50 in the shelf display section 77.
"M" is displayed, and further, the display value "0.0M" of the yarn length display portion 75 is set as the winding end, for example, 2m before this.
"Ship slip" display switch 8 on the function display section 83 at the water depth of
When 4b is pressed, the CPU 51 causes the RAM 57 to store a water depth of 2 m as the ship slip stop position, and also displays the ship slip display unit 7
"2M" is displayed on the display 9.

Then, by operating the power lever 27, the motor output is continuously adjusted from the motor stopped state to the maximum value and the fishing line is wound up. When the fishing line is wound up and the tackle reaches the boat slip stop position. The CPU 51 sends a motor stop command to the spool motor drive circuit to stop the spool motor 27, sends an actuation command to the alarm drive circuit to actuate an alarm 67 provided on the operation panel 42, and also controls the handle 19. When the tackle reaches the boat slip stop position by the winding operation, the CPU 51 activates the alarm 67 via the alarm drive circuit.

Incidentally, as in the conventional case, the control means 31 and the display 4 are provided.
3. A battery power source for driving the touch panel 45 and the like is built in the reel unit. Further, the shelf position and the boat slip position described above can be set in advance in the "shelf position setting mode" and the "boat slip position setting mode" prior to actual fishing. That is, as described above, the control means 31 switches to "actual fishing mode", "basic data input mode", "shelf position setting mode", and "boat slip position setting mode" by selection on the initial screen of FIG. Before the actual fishing, the fisherman presses the display switch 78c of the "shelf position setting mode" on the initial screen with the finger 53, and the control means 31 switches to the "shelf position setting mode" and the display 43 is displayed. 9, the shelf display unit 77 and the display switch 89a are displayed, and as described above, the power lever 27 is switched to the input means for storing the shelf position in the RAM 57.

Then, the numerical value displayed on the shelf display section 77 is increased or decreased according to the operation amount of the power lever 27. For example, when the shelf position is set to 120 m according to the advice of the fishing boat captain, the power lever is set. When the display switch 89a for "input" is pressed with the display of the shelf display section 77 set to "120" by the operation of 27, the shelf position "120 m" is changed to R.
After being stored in the AM 57, the control means 31 automatically returns to the initial mode and causes the display 43 to display the initial screen of FIG.

Similarly, prior to actual fishing, the fisherman touches the display switch 78d of the "boat slip position setting mode" on the initial screen with his finger 5.
When the button 3 is pressed, the control means 31 is in the "ship slip position setting mode".
At the same time, the display 43 displays the ship slip display portion 79 and the display switch 89a as shown in FIG. 10, and the power lever 27 switches to the input means for inputting the ship slip position.

The numerical value displayed on the ship slip display portion 79 is increased or decreased according to the operation of the power lever 27. For example, the operation of the power lever 27 causes the display on the ship slip display portion 79 to display "2". When the display switch 89a for "input" is pushed in accordance with, the ship's slippage "2 m" is stored in the RAM 57, after which the control means 31 automatically returns to the initial mode and the initial screen of FIG. Is displayed.

After that, in order to carry out fishing, it suffices to push the display switch 78a for "actual fishing mode" on the initial screen with the finger 53 to shift to the actual fishing mode. In this actual fishing mode, the display switch 84a for "mode selection" is displayed. When is pressed, the initial screen shown in FIG. 6 is returned to. Although not shown, the control means 3
1 has a built-in timer, which allows the fisherman to display the "timer" display switch 84 on the function display 83 in the actual fishing mode.
When d is pressed, the coma timer is activated and the timer display 8
When the comer timer value is displayed at 1, and the angler presses the display switch 84d again, the count value is reset.

Since the present embodiment is constructed in this way, in actual fishing, the fisherman first switches the control means 31 to the "basic data input mode" by operating the display switch 78b from the initial screen of FIG. When the basic data such as the number of fishing lines 55 and the total winding amount are input in the above-described procedure to determine the calculation formula, and the rack position and the boat slip position are set in advance for actual fishing, the initial screen of FIG. 6 is displayed. To display switch 78c,
78d to operate the control means 31 in the "shelf position setting mode"
Alternatively, the shelf position and the ship slip position may be set by switching to the “ship slip position setting mode” and following the procedure described above.

After that, if the display switch 78a is pressed on the initial screen to shift to the "actual fishing mode", the control means is accompanied by winding of the fishing line by the power lever 27 and the handle 19 and feeding of the fishing line 55 by turning off the clutch. 31
Is an indicator 4 by calculating the yarn length L from a calculation formula based on the actual rotation speed Na of the spool 11 detected by the rotation speed detection means.
No. 3 is displayed on the thread length display part 75, and the shelf position and the ship slip position are displayed on the shelf display part 77 and the ship slip display part 79, respectively.

Further, the angler may select "timer" on the function display section 83.
When the display switch 84d is pressed, the timer display section 81 displays the timer counter value counted by the timer timer. When the fisherman presses the appropriate display switches 84b and 84c in the "actual fishing mode", the CPU 51 sets or updates the water depth as the shelf position or the ship slide position, and displays the respective water depths on the shelf display unit 77 or the ship slide display. When the fishing line is displayed by the operation of the spool motor 17 and the tackle reaches the boat slip stop position, the CPU 51 sends a motor stop command to the spool motor drive circuit to stop the spool motor 27. At the same time, an operation command is sent to the alarm drive circuit to activate the alarm 67, while the handle 1
When the gimmick reaches the boat slip stop position by the winding operation of 9, the CPU 51 causes the alarm 6 through the alarm drive circuit.
7 will be operated.

As described above, the present embodiment replaces various button-type switches such as a reset switch, a mode changeover switch, a shelf memo switch, and a boat slip switch, which are conventionally provided on the operation panel adjacent to the display, A touch panel 45 is provided on the display screen 43a of the display 43,
Since various operations of various functions are performed by the display switch on the display screen 43a, the button type switch is not required on the operation panel 42, and as a result, the display 43 having a larger screen than the conventional one is used. This makes it possible to significantly improve the visibility of the display screen 43a.

Further, by eliminating the push-button type switch in this way, the conventional waterproof treatment which has been performed for each switch is no longer required, so that the number of parts is reduced and the cost is reduced as compared with the conventional case. In addition to improving the waterproof performance, the exposed part of the switch is removed on the surface of the operation panel 42, so that it becomes difficult for the adhered matter such as a comase to remain, and even if the comase etc. adheres, it can be quickly removed. Since the waterproof property is high, it is possible to sprinkle water on the reel, which simplifies the cleaning work and allows the reel to be stored hygienically.

In addition, in this embodiment, the touch panel 45
At the same time, the power lever 27, which is a motor output adjuster, is also used as an input / switching operation member to eliminate an excessive pressing operation of the touch panel 45. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an erroneous operation such as a miss touch due to a continuous operation, and to compare with a conventional switch. Since the fingertips of the touch panel 45 do not hurt, the fisherman does not feel uncomfortable, and the appearance is simplified to reduce erroneous operations, resulting in a dramatic improvement in operability.

In the above embodiment, the conductive film 48 is vapor-deposited in a strip shape on the polyester film 47, and the so-called "membrane type" is formed by stacking the conductive films 48 so as to cross each other vertically and horizontally.
Although the touch panel described above is used, it goes without saying that other touch panels such as an optical type, an acoustic type, a capacitive type, and a pressure detection type may be used. Even if these touch panels are used, the intended purpose is the same as in the above embodiment. Can be achieved.
