It is related with the fishing information display apparatus which can display the 3rd water depth information which shows the shelf position.

  As a fishing reel, there is known a reel body provided with a water depth display device using a liquid crystal display called a counter. It is known that this kind of water depth display device can display bottom position data (an example of second water depth data) of a fishing ground received from a fish finder (see Patent Document 1). In such a fishing reel, for example, the position data of the device (an example of the first water depth data) is calculated based on the yarn length data depending on the number of rotations of the spool, and the position and the bottom position are displayed. The shelf position from the bottom is displayed.

In such a conventional fishing reel, shelving is stopped by the bottom position data from the fish finder and feeding of the fishing line is stopped. For this reason, shelving and bottoming can be performed according to the bottom situation.
JP 2003-274823 A

In the conventional configuration, the bottom position data from the fish finder is displayed numerically on the water depth display device, so that the accurate bottom position can be grasped. However, since the device position data and the bottom position data are only numerically displayed, it is difficult to instantly grasp their positional relationship. Moreover, since the shelf position where the school of fish is located is the shelf position set by operating the shelf memo switch of the reel, if the shelf position changes from moment to moment, the shelf position may not be accurately grasped.

  An object of the present invention is to make it possible to intuitively grasp the positional relationship between a device position and a bottom position.

  Another object of the present invention is to make it possible to accurately grasp the shelf position even if the shelf position changes from moment to moment.

  The fishing information display device according to the first aspect of the present invention includes first water depth data indicating a position of a device locked to a fishing line fed from a spool, and second water depth data indicating a bottom position of a fishing ground transmitted from a fish detector. An apparatus capable of displaying includes a case, a first receiving unit, a second receiving unit, a display unit, and a water depth data display unit. The first receiving unit is a unit that is provided in the case and receives the first water depth data. The second receiving unit is a unit that is provided in the case and receives the second water depth data. The display unit is provided on the case so as to be visible from the outside. The water depth data display means is a means which is provided in the case and graphically displays the received first and second water depth data at a position corresponding to the water depth of the display unit.

  In this fishing information display device, when the first depth data indicating the position of the device is received and the second information indicating the bottom position of the fishing ground is received from the fish detector, they are superimposed on the position corresponding to the depth of the display unit. Is displayed. Here, the first water depth data indicating the position of the device and the second water depth data indicating the position of the bottom are displayed not in numerical values but in figures according to the water depth, so the positional relationship between the position of the device and the position of the bottom is shown. It becomes possible to grasp instantly.

A fishing information display device according to a second aspect of the present invention is the device according to the first aspect, wherein the fish detector can output the third water depth data indicating the shelf position of the school of fish in which the fish are swarmed. The received third water depth data is received, and the water depth data display means graphically displays the third water depth data at a position corresponding to the water depth of the display unit in addition to the first and second water depth data. In this case, since the third water depth data indicating the shelf position output from the fish finder is also displayed at a position corresponding to the water depth together with the first and second water depth data, even if the shelf position changes every moment. Since the shelf position can be accurately grasped and the relationship between the device and the shelf position is generated in a figure, it is obvious at a glance whether the device is accurately arranged at the shelf position .

Fishing information display device according to the inventions 3, the invention The device according to 1 or 2, capable of outputting correction start means a correction start signal, the first and second when the correction start means outputs a correction start signal A water depth data correction unit that obtains corrected first water depth data by correcting the first water depth data based on the first water depth data and the second water depth data received by the receiving unit; The first water depth data received by the first receiving unit is displayed on the display unit, and when the first water depth data is corrected by the water depth data correcting unit, the corrected first water depth data is displayed on the display unit. In this case, the first water depth data can be corrected by the second water depth data that provides a relatively accurate water depth even if the spool thread feed amount is larger than the actual device water depth due to the influence of the tide or the like. Accurate water depth can be obtained.

A fishing information display device according to a fourth aspect is the device according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the case is provided on the fishing reel. In this case, since at least the first and second water depth data can be displayed graphically on the fishing reel, the visual recognition becomes easy.

A fishing information display device according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the device according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, wherein the case is provided separately from the fishing reel, and the fishing reel can output the first water depth data. In this case, since the display can be performed separately from the fishing reel, the limitation on the display area is relaxed, and a display unit having a wider area can be used. For this reason, even if it puts separately from the fishing reel, it becomes easy to visually recognize the displayed water depth data.

  According to the present invention, the first water depth data indicating the position of the device and the second water depth data indicating the position of the bottom are displayed not in the numerical values but in the graphic according to the water depth. The positional relationship can be grasped instantly.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a fishing information display system in which an embodiment of the present invention is adopted includes an electric reel 10 and a fish finder monitor (an example of a fishing information display device) 60 that is arranged to be able to transmit and receive to the electric reel 10. , A fish finder (an example of an information aggregating apparatus) 80.

  The electric reel 10 and the fish finder monitor 60 are connected by wire. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the electric reel 10 is connected by a communication line inserted into a power cord 13 that branches into two from a battery 12 as a power source and supplies power to the electric reel 10 and the fish finder monitor 60. And data are transmitted and received between the fish finder 60 and the fish finder monitor 60. The communication line connects the electric reel 10 and the fish finder monitor 60 through the branch portion of the power cord 13. Moreover, the monitor 60 receives information from the fish detector 80 by, for example, specific low power wireless communication. Note that the fish finder monitor 60 receives only the strongest radio wave in order to prevent interference when there are a plurality of fish finders 80 around.

  The electric reel 10 is fixed to a fishing rod R mounted on the rim FB of a fishing boat, for example, by a rod receiver RK. As shown in FIG. 3, the electric reel 10 includes a reel body 20 having a handle 20 a, a spool 21 rotatably mounted on the reel body 20, and a motor 22 housed in the spool 21. A counter 24 having a reel display unit 23 is mounted on the top of the reel body 20. A shift lever 26 for variably rotating the spool 21 is mounted on the front side of the reel body 20, and a clutch operation lever 27 for turning the clutch on and off is swingably mounted on the rear side. Yes. A potentiometer 36 (FIG. 1) for detecting a swing angle is connected to the shift lever 26, and the motor 22 is controlled in 30 steps according to the swing angle detected by the potentiometer 36.

  The counter 24 has an operation key having two buttons 31 and 32 arranged side by side on the right side of the reel display unit 23 and two buttons 33 and 34 arranged side by side on the lower side of the reel display unit 23. The part 35 is arranged. The memo button 31 is a button for setting the shelf position and the bottom position. The fast winding button 32 is a button for rotating the spool 21 at the highest speed when collecting the device. The menu button 33 is a button used for selecting various items during menu processing. The determination button 34 is a button for determining the selected item. The reel display unit 23 uses a segment-type liquid crystal display including a 7-segment numerical display. As shown in FIG. 3, there are a water depth of the device, a shelf position, a bottom position, and various modes (shelf stop). The characters indicating the mode, bottom display mode, thread feed mode, and saddle mode) are displayed. Among these characters, the character “Sosai” is lit when the electric reel 10 and the fish finder monitor 60 are connected by the power cord 13 and are communicable. Thereby, it can confirm instantly that the electric reel 10 and the fish finder monitor 60 became communicable.

  Inside the counter 25, as shown in FIG. 1, there is a reel control unit 30 comprising a microcomputer including a CPU, RAM, ROM, I / O interface and the like for performing water depth display control and motor drive control, and a liquid crystal drive circuit. Is provided. The reel control unit 30 includes four buttons 31 to 35 of the operation key unit 35, a spool sensor 41 for detecting the rotational position and direction of the spool 21, and a spool counter whose value changes at every predetermined pulse from the spool sensor 41. 42 and a potentiometer 36 are connected. The reel control unit 30 includes a buzzer 43 for outputting various alarms, a reel display unit 23 for performing various displays, a storage unit 45 for storing various data, and an FET for PWM driving the motor 22. The PWM drive circuit 44 including it and other input / output units are connected. Furthermore, an information communication unit 46 that exchanges information with the fish finder monitor 60 is connected to the reel control unit 30. The information communication unit 46 is connected to an information communication unit 64 provided in the fish finder monitor 60 by wired communication via the power cord 13.

  The reel control unit 30 controls the motor 22 in 30 steps, for example, according to the output of the potentiometer 36. Specifically, feedback speed control is performed with reference to the output of the spool sensor 41 so that the rotational speed of the spool 21 increases stepwise in the first four stages, for example. In the remaining 26 stages, the motor 22 is controlled with a duty ratio that increases at each stage and is corrected according to the bobbin diameter. As a result, the spool 21 does not stop rotating even if a high load is applied by controlling the speed in the first four stages where the speed is low. In the remaining 26 stages, control is performed with a constant duty ratio corrected by the bobbin diameter at each stage, so that the tension acting on the spool 21 becomes substantially constant, and Harris breakage is less likely to occur. Note that the duty ratio does not reach 100% even at the maximum stage. Thereby, the malfunction by overheating of the motor 22 can be prevented beforehand.

  The storage unit 45 stores a plurality of map data for conversion into the count value of the spool counter 42 and the water depth data of the device for various fishing lines. The plurality of marp data takes into account that the count value and the water depth data change according to the yarn diameter and the bobbin diameter. Map data is stored in advance in the storage unit 45 for a plurality of fishing lines often used in the electric reel 10 of that size. For fishing lines that are not stored in advance, map data is created by learning and stored in the storage unit 45.

  When the count value is output from the spool counter 42, the reel control unit 30 displays the display based on the map data of the fishing line selected from the plurality of map data stored in the storage unit 45 based on the count value. The device water depth data is calculated, and the calculated water depth data is displayed on the reel display unit 23. In addition, when the fish school monitor 60 is connected, various information including the water depth data of the device is output to the information communication unit 64 of the fish school monitor 60 via the information communication unit 46 and the communication line of the power cord 13.

  The fish finder monitor 60 can echo-display the depth of the fishing ground obtained from the fish detector 80 (an example of the second water depth data) and the shelf position (an example of the third water depth data) indicating the position of the fish school. The device water depth data (an example of the first water depth data) obtained from the reel 10 can be displayed graphically at a position corresponding to the water depth together with the echoed bottom water depth and shelf position. Further, the fish finder monitor 60 sets on / off of shelf stop, setting of shelf position, setting of on / off of scorpion mode and setting of shave width, on / off of auto scouring, on / off of line feed for feeding fishing line by rotation of the line of the motor, and atlet detection. A setting operation related to the electric reel 10 such as turning on / off can be performed. The fish finder monitor 60 can be used alone without being connected to the electric reel 10. In this case, the fish detector 80 functions as a remote monitor for displaying the shelf position and bottom position from the fish detector 80.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the fish finder monitor 60 is arranged vertically on the right side of the monitor display unit 51 exposed from the case 50 and the monitor display unit 51 including the liquid crystal display attached to the case 50. And an operation key portion 62 including the five buttons 52 to 56.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a mounting bracket 90 is attached to the fish finder monitor 60. When the fish finder monitor 60 is mounted on the ship FB together with the sword receiver RK, the mounting bracket 90 is mounted on the fixed base 100. The fixed base 100 is fixed to the ship FB using the vise 101 of the dredge RK. In addition, when fishing without using a rod receiver such as jigging, the mounting bracket 90 can be directly attached to a dedicated vise (not shown). Furthermore, when a pedestal that can be screwed to the fishing boat in advance is attached to, for example, a boat sill, the mounting bracket 90 can be directly attached to the pedestal.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the case 50 includes a display unit 50 a whose four sides are rounded and a box unit 50 b provided on the back side of the display unit 50 a. As shown in FIG. 5, a pair of attachment portions 57a and 57b having screw holes 57c are vertically arranged on both side surfaces of the box portion 50b with an interval therebetween. The mounting bracket 90 is mounted on either of the upper and lower mounting portions 57a and 57b by a screw member 91 (FIG. 2), and the fish finder monitor 60 is mounted on the mounting bracket 90.

  As shown in FIG. 6, a concave portion 59 is formed on the back surface of the box portion 50a, and two screw-type outlet portions 59a are mounted in the concave portion 59 side by side. A power cord 13 for using the fish finder monitor 60 in conjunction with the electric reel 10 can be connected to the outlet 59a. Therefore, in addition to the two power supply terminals 59b, the outlet portion 59a is provided with two communication terminals 59c and 59d to which communication lines are connected to transmit and receive data to and from the electric reel 10, respectively. Of the two communication terminals 59c and 59d for transmission and reception, one is a ground terminal. Each outlet portion 59a is provided with a circumferential positioning projection 59e for preventing an incorrect connection of the power cord.

  The screen switching button 52 of the operation key unit 62 is a button for switching the display of the monitor display unit 51 between menu display and fish finder display. The cursor button 53 is a button for moving the cursor up, down, left, and right in menu processing for making various settings for the fish finder monitor 60 and the electric reel 10. The determination button 54 is a button for determining an item set in various settings. The scorpion on / off button 55 is a button used when starting the scorpion operation. The on / off button 56 is a button for turning on / off the display.

  Inside the case 50, as shown in FIG. 1, there is provided an information display control unit 61 comprising a microcomputer and a liquid crystal driving circuit including a CPU, RAM, ROM, I / O interface, etc. for performing display control and saddle control. ing. The information display control unit 61 includes an information communication unit 64 for exchanging information with the fish finder 80 and the electric reel 10, five buttons 52 to 56 of the operation key unit 62, and a monitor display unit for performing various displays. 51, a storage unit 63 for storing various data, and other input / output units are connected.

  As the monitor display unit 51, for example, a monochrome 4-tone dot matrix type liquid crystal display having 320 dots vertically and 240 dots horizontally is used.

  When the water depth data of the device is obtained from the electric reel 10, the information display control unit 61 displays the data on the monitor display unit 51 in a graphic form, and from the fish detector 80, the echo data of the bottom of the fishing ground and the numerical value of the bottom position. When the data and the echo data of the shelf position are acquired, they are displayed on the monitor display unit 51 together with the water depth data set. In addition, various settings of the electric reel 10 and control of the motor 22 in the saddle mode can be performed by a menu operation.

  Next, the specific control content of the information display part 61 is demonstrated based on the control flowchart shown to FIGS. 7-9, and the display screen shown after FIG. In the following description, the case where the electric reel 10 is connected to the fish finder monitor 60 will be described.

  When the power cord 13 is connected to the fish finder monitor 60, initial setting is performed in step S1 of FIG. In this initial setting process, the display mode is set to display the opening screen in the subsequent display process. Further, the correction count K of the device water depth data D1 is set to 1. In step S <b> 2, it is determined whether or not fish finder data (specifically, echo data D <b> 2 and D <b> 3 on the seafloor depth and shelf position of the fishing ground) from the fish finder 80 is received. If the fish finder data cannot be received, it waits until it can be received. If the fish finder data is received, the process proceeds to step S 3, and the received fish finder data D 2 to D 4 are captured and stored in the storage unit 61. In step S4, it is determined whether or not the electric reel 10 is connected. If the electric reel 10 is not connected, the process proceeds to step S5, and the flag NC indicating that the electric reel 10 is not connected is turned on. When the electric reel 10 is connected, the process proceeds from step S4 to step S6 and the flag NC is turned off. In step S7, the device water depth data D1 transmitted from the electric reel 10 is captured.

  In step S8, display processing described later is performed. In this display process, in addition to the opening screen, the screen is switched to a fish finder screen for displaying water depth data obtained from the electric reel 10 and fish finder data from the fish finder 80, and a menu screen for performing various settings. In step S9, it is determined whether or not the operation key unit 62 has been operated. In step S10, it is determined whether or not there is a transmission request to be transmitted to the electric reel 10. In step S10 and step S4, for example, it is determined whether or not another process such as a maintenance process using a hidden command has been selected. If the determination is “No”, the process returns to step S2. When the operation key unit 62 is operated, the process proceeds from step S9 to step S12, and a key input process described later is performed. When there is a transmission request, the process proceeds from step S10 to step S13, and setting data set by menu processing described later is transmitted to the electric reel 10 via the information communication unit 64. When another process is selected, the process proceeds from step S11 to step S14, the designated other process is executed, and the process returns to step S2.

  In the display process in step S8, it is determined in step S21 in FIG. 8 whether the opening screen has been set. This opening screen is displayed only once when the power cord 13 is connected and the power is turned on. In step S22, it is determined whether or not the menu screen is set by the screen switching button 52. In step S23, it is determined whether or not the fish finder screen is selected by the screen switching button 52. If the fish stage screen is not set, the process returns to the main routine shown in FIG.

  When the opening screen is set, the process proceeds from step S21 to step S25, and the opening screen is displayed. When the menu screen is set, the process proceeds from step S22 to step S23. In step S23, the menu screen 70 shown in FIG. 10 is displayed. In this menu screen 70, the reception state 71 of the radio wave output from the fish finder 80 is displayed on the upper left of the screen. The radio wave reception state 71 is displayed by the antenna mark 71a and the three lines 71b, and this display is displayed in all display modes. Below that, setting items 72 for various modes of the electric reel 10 (specifically, shelf stop, scorpion, scorpion width, auto scouring, thread feeding, upper bottom switching and tart detection), setting contents 73 thereof, and fish finder The setting items 74 (specifically, position correction, blur locus, demo screen, contrast and backlight) and setting contents 75 of the mode of the monitor 60 are displayed in a hierarchical menu. When the setting contents of the electric reel 10 are set in the electric reel 10, the data is received and the contents are reflected in the setting contents of the menu screen. These setting items and setting contents are selected by the cursor button 53, and the setting contents are confirmed by the decision button 54.

Here, the position correction is set when it is desired to correct the device water depth data obtained from the electric reel. Further, the blur locus is set when it is desired to display a time- series change locus of the water depth data of the device.

When the fish finder screen is set, the process proceeds from step S23 to step S27. In step S27, it is determined whether or not the electric reel 10 is connected by the flag NC. When the electric reel 10 is connected, the process proceeds from step S27 to step S28. In step S28, a fish search screen as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed. In step S28, monitor and when displaying the scale SC water depth at the right end of the screen, the right side of the scale SC, the value obtained by multiplying the correction coefficient K to tackle water depth data D1 obtained from the electric reel 10 (K × D1 ) Is displayed at a position corresponding to the water depth, for example, with a needle figure symbolizing the device. In this embodiment, since the correction coefficient is set to 1 before correction, the water depth data before correction is displayed, but before the correction is performed, the water depth data D of the device is displayed as it is, After the correction, the corrected water depth data K × D1 may be displayed.

  Further, the water depth data D2 of the seabed and the water depth data D3 of the shelf position received from the fish detector 80 are displayed in time series in echo data images at positions corresponding to the water depth on the left side of the scale SC. Further, the numerical value D2n of the seabed depth data D2 is displayed at the lower left of the screen, and the numerical value D1n of the water depth data D1 is also displayed at the upper left of the screen. Further, the value of the shelf timer (device stationary time set to automatically set the shelf position) is also displayed below the numerical value D1n.

  In step S29, the reception state 71 of the radio wave from the fish finder 80 is displayed on the upper left portion of the screen by the antenna mark 71a and the three lines 71b as in the menu screen. In step S30, it is determined whether or not the display setting of the device trajectory is on. This setting is determined by whether or not the blur locus is on. If the spot locus display is on, the process proceeds to step S31. In step S31, as shown in FIG. 12, a mechanism trajectory TR which is a time-series change in the mechanism water depth data D1 is displayed in dots. In step S32, the pitch width of the pitch mode is displayed on the right side of the scale SC as indicated by hatching. This display is not displayed when the saddle mode is off. In step S33, other display is performed. Here, for example, as shown in FIG. 13, a description 76 of the operation is pasted and displayed on the fish finder screen. As a result, the information is displayed without being buried in the fish finder screen, and the operator can immediately understand the meaning of the operation, so that the user who is using it for the first time can perform the operation with peace of mind.

  In such a fish finder screen, the water depth data D1 for the device is displayed in a graphic together with the water depth data D2 for the seabed and the water depth data D3 for the shelf position. Can be judged.

  In step S9 in FIG. 7, when any button of the operation key unit 62 is operated, the process proceeds from step S9 to step S12, and the key input process shown in FIG. 9 is executed. In the key input process, it is determined whether or not the screen switching button 52 has been operated in step S41 of FIG. In step S42, it is determined whether or not the cursor button 53 has been operated. In step S53, it is determined whether or not the enter button 54 has been operated. In step S4, it is determined whether or not the on / off button 55 has been operated. In step S45, it is determined whether or not the on / off button 56 has been operated.

  When the screen switching button 52 is operated, the process proceeds from step S41 to step S50. Although not described in step S50, when the motor 22 of the electric reel 10 is rotating, the key input of the screen switching button 52 is invalid. This is so that the screen cannot be switched during winding. In step S50, it is determined whether an opening screen is set. If the opening screen is set, the process proceeds to step S51 and the display mode is set to the menu screen. Thereby, a menu screen is displayed by the display process of step S8. When the opening screen is not set, the process proceeds to step S52 to determine whether or not the menu screen is set. If the menu screen is set, the process proceeds to step S53, and the display mode is set to the fish finder screen. Thereby, the fish finder screen is displayed in the display process of step S8. If the menu screen is not set, the display mode is set to the menu screen. When these processes are completed, the process proceeds to step S42.

  When the cursor button 53 is operated, the process proceeds from step S42 to step S55. In step S55, the cursor is moved one by one with the setting item or setting content on the menu screen according to the direction of the operated cursor.

  When the enter button 54 is operated, the process proceeds from step S43 to step S56. In step S56, it is determined whether or not it is a fish finder screen. If it is determined that the fish finder screen is displayed, the process proceeds to step S57. In step S57, it is determined whether or not position correction is set (turned on). If position correction is set, the process proceeds to step S58 to perform position correction. Here, when the enter button 54 is operated on the fish finder screen, a correction start signal is output and correction processing is performed.

  Usually, when the fisherman performs bottoming to lower the device to the bottom, as shown in FIG. 14, the device water depth data D1 is greatly changed from the actual seabed data D2, resulting in a contradiction in the display. Done in case. In the example shown in FIG. 14, the actual depth of the seabed is 73 meters, whereas the fishing line is unwound by 85 m when the device reaches rotation due to the influence of the ocean current or the like. In this situation, when the angler operates the enter button 54, the process proceeds to step S57 via step S56, and the actual seabed depth data D2 received at this timing is divided by the depth data D1 to be corrected. The coefficient K is calculated. This correction coefficient K is multiplied by the water depth data D1 in the display process. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 14, the correction coefficient is 73/85, and the device water depth data D1 is displayed after being multiplied by the correction coefficient K until the next correction process is performed. As a result, the figure-displayed water depth data D1 and the numerical display data D1n are corrected to become corrected water depth data (= 73 m). When the power cord 13 is disconnected and the power is shut off, the correction coefficient is set to 1 by default. Further, such correction processing is not performed on the electric reel 10 side. This is because if such correction is performed with the electric reel 10, the boat edge stop position and the like are shifted by the correction amount when winding the fishing line. Therefore, this correction is performed only by the fish finder monitor 60.

  If it is determined in step S56 that the position correction is off, the process proceeds to step S44. If it is determined that it is not the fish finder screen, the process proceeds from step S56 to step S59. In step S59, the content of the setting item selected by the cursor is determined and set in the storage unit 45. In step S60, it is determined whether or not the setting item relates to the electric reel 10, that is, whether or not it is necessary to transmit to the electric reel 10. When transmission is necessary, a transmission request for transmitting the determined setting is output. Thereby, setting data is transmitted to the electric reel 10 at step S13.

  When the on / off button 55 is operated, the process proceeds from step S4 to step S62. In step S62, a transmission request for turning on / off the motor 22 with the set saddle width is output.

  When the on / off button 56 is operated, the process proceeds from step S45 to step S63. In step S63, it is determined whether or not the monitor display unit 51 is on. If the monitor display unit 51 is not yet turned on, the process proceeds to step S64 and the monitor display unit 51 is turned on. If the monitor display unit 51 is already on, the process proceeds to step S65 and the monitor display unit 51 is turned off.

  Here, the depth data to be displayed can be corrected based on the device depth data D1 obtained from the electric reel 10 and the relatively accurate seafloor depth data D2 obtained from the fish detector 80, and the corrected first depth data can be monitored. Since it displays on the display part 51, even if a fishing line curves with the flow of a tide, the water depth of a device can be displayed more correctly. Further, since the first water depth data D1 indicating the position of the device and the second water depth data D2 indicating the bottom position are displayed not in the numerical values but in the graphic according to the water depth, the positional relationship between the position of the device and the position of the bottom Can be grasped instantly. Further, since the third water depth data D3 indicating the shelf position output from the fish finder 80 is also displayed at the position corresponding to the water depth together with the first and second water depth data D1, D2, the shelf position changes from moment to moment. However, since the shelf position can be accurately grasped and the relationship between the mechanism and the shelf position is generated in a figure, it is obvious at a glance whether the mechanism is accurately arranged at the shelf position.
