  The reel control unit 100 controls the motor 4 in 31 stages including, for example, turning off the motor 4 in accordance with the output of the potentiometer 104 (that is, the swing angle of the adjustment lever 101). Specifically, the range of 140 degrees from 50 degrees to 190 degrees of the potentiometer 104 is divided into 31 appropriate stages, and it is determined which of the 31 stages ST is based on the output. In addition, among the 31 stages, the motor 4 is turned off at the stage (ST = 0) arranged on the frontmost side where no operation is performed. In the next four stages (ST = 1 to 4), for example, feedback speed control is performed to control the first duty ratio D1 with reference to the output of the spool sensor 102 so that the rotational speed of the spool 3 increases stepwise. . In the remaining 26 stages (ST = 5 to 30), the motor 4 is controlled with the first duty ratio D1 that increases at each stage ST and is corrected according to the bobbin diameter. As a result, the spool 3 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 thereafter, control is performed with a constant first duty ratio D1 corrected by the bobbin diameter at each stage, so that the tension acting on the spool 3 becomes substantially constant, and Harris breakage is less likely to occur. . In the operation of the adjustment lever 101, the first duty ratio D1 does not exceed 85% even at the maximum stage. Further, when the fast winding button HB is operated, the motor 4 is driven at a high speed with the first duty ratio D1 of 95% at the maximum, for example. Thereby, the malfunction by the overheating of the motor 4 can be prevented beforehand.

Further, the reel control unit 100 calculates the water depth of the device attached to the tip of the fishing line based on the output of the spool sensor 102, and displays it on the water depth display portion 98a. Furthermore, when the bottom position and the shelf position are set by operating the operation key unit 99, the calculated depth of water coincides with the set bottom position and the shelf position, and the device reaches the shelf position or the bottom position. , returning the clutch mechanism 7 is operated clutch switching mechanism 8 via the mechanism 1 1 returns the first clutch by reversing the motor 4 to the clutch-on state. Thereby, the device is arranged at that position.

  The storage unit 107 stores a plurality of map data for conversion into count values for each predetermined pulse of the spool sensor 102 and device depth data LX for various fishing lines. The plurality of marp data takes into consideration that the count value and the water depth data LX change according to the yarn diameter and the bobbin diameter. Map data is stored in advance in the storage unit 107 for a plurality of fishing lines often used in the electric reel 1 of that size. For fishing lines that are not stored in advance, map data is created by learning and stored in the storage unit 107.

  When the count value of the spool sensor 102 is output, the reel control unit 100 displays a value for display based on map data of a fishing line selected from a plurality of map data stored in the storage unit 107 based on the count value. The device water depth data LX is calculated, and the calculated water depth data LX is displayed on the water depth display unit 98. In addition, when the fish school monitor 120 is connected, various information including the water depth data LX for the device is output to the fish school monitor 120 via the information communication unit 105 and the communication line of the power cord 130.

  In the clutch return operation by the reverse rotation of the motor 4, the reel control unit 100 gradually increases the duty ratio provided by the motor drive circuit 108 to about 20% to about 70%. As a result, the voltage applied to the motor 4 gradually increases. As a result, the mechanism mounting shaft 75 that is fixed to the output shaft 30 during the reverse rotation of the motor 4 is less likely to idle.

When the power supply voltage PV becomes 15 volts using a lithium battery, the duty ratio D1 is corrected to a value of 12/15, for example, so as to correct the increase of the power supply voltage PV. Thus, the use of battery than the power supply voltage is higher lead battery as a lithium battery or a nickel hydrogen battery, the motor 4 to the voltage 及 beauty reversing start to be applied to the forward rotation of the motor 4 by the operation of the adjusting lever 101 The applied voltage is less likely to fluctuate, fluctuations in speed and torque during forward rotation of the motor 4 due to operation of the adjustment lever 101 are reduced, and a mechanism mounting shaft 75 fixed to the output shaft 30 during reverse rotation of the motor 4 is provided. Furthermore, it becomes difficult to idle.

  The second projecting portion 56 b is provided for interlocking the clutch switching mechanism 8 with the second clutch return mechanism 12. The second projecting portion 56b extends forward of the reel, and extends outward of the ratchet wheel 62 of the first one-way clutch 9 disposed between the main gear 34 and the fixed frame 20. A first toggle spring 65 made of a torsion coil spring is engaged with the second protrusion 56b. The other end of the first toggle spring 65 is locked to the fixed frame 20. By the first toggle spring 65, the clutch cam 51 is held at the clutch-on position shown in FIG. 5 and the clutch-off position shown in FIG. A swing shaft 51a is mounted on the second protrusion 56b, and an engagement member 61 of the second clutch return mechanism 12 is swingably mounted on the swing shaft 51a.

  The third projecting portion 56 c is provided for interlocking the clutch switching mechanism 8 with the first clutch return mechanism 11. The third protrusion 56c extends rearward and downward of the reel, and the first clutch return mechanism 11 is connected to the tip of the third protrusion 56c.

  The cam protrusions 57a and 57b are provided to press the clutch yoke 52 outward in the spool axial direction. That is, when the clutch cam 51 rotates from the clutch-on position shown in FIG. 5 to the clutch-off position shown in FIG. 6, the clutch yoke 52 rides on the cam protrusions 57a and 57b and moves outward in the spool axial direction (see FIG. 5 and FIG. 6). Move forward).

  The clutch yoke 52 is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the pinion gear shaft 47, and is supported by two guide shafts 53 so as to be movable in parallel with the axis of the pinion gear shaft 47. The clutch yoke 52 has a semicircular arc engaging portion 52a that engages with the constricted portion 35c of the pinion gear 35 at the center thereof. Further, a coil spring 54 is disposed in a compressed state between the clutch yoke 52 and the side cover 15 on the outer periphery of the guide shaft 53 that supports the clutch yoke 52, and the clutch yoke 52 is always inward ( The side plate 17 is biased.

  In such a configuration, in a normal state, the pinion gear 35 is located at the inner clutch engagement position, and the engagement concave portion 35a and the engagement convex portion 46a of the second carrier 46 are engaged with each other to provide a clutch mechanism. 7 is in a clutch-on state. On the other hand, when the pinion gear 35 is moved outward by the clutch yoke 52, the engagement concave portion 35a and the engagement convex portion 46a are disengaged, and the clutch is turned off.

[Configuration of the first one-way clutch]
The first one-way clutch 9 is provided to prevent the handle 2a from rotating when the motor 4 is driven, by prohibiting the handle shaft 33 from rotating in the yarn drawing direction. First one-way clutch 9, the ratchet wheel 62 which is non-rotatably mounted to the handle shaft 33, and a ratchet pawl 71, and a clamping member 72.

  The ratchet wheel 62 is non-rotatably mounted on the handle shaft 33 between the main gear 34 and the fixed frame 20. On the outer peripheral side of the ratchet wheel 62, serrated ratchet teeth 62a are formed.

The ratchet pawl 71 is rotatably mounted on the side plate 17. The clamping member 72 is attached to the tip of the ratchet pawl 71 and can clamp the outer peripheral surface of the ratchet wheel 62. Due to the friction between the pinching member 72 and the ratchet wheel 62, the ratchet pawl 71 is separated to a position where it does not interfere with the ratchet teeth 62a when the ratchet wheel 62 rotates clockwise (yarn winding direction). The ratchet pawl 71 does not come into contact with each other at the time of rotation, and the noise can be reduced. On the other hand, when rotating counterclockwise (yarn feeding direction), the ratchet pawl 71 is pulled to a position where it interferes with the ratchet teeth 62a, and rotation in the yarn drawing direction is prohibited. In addition to the first one-way clutch 9, a roller clutch 38 that instantaneously inhibits the reverse rotation of the handle shaft 33 is disposed between the side cover 15 and the handle shaft 33 in the electric reel 1 . .

[Configuration of the second one-way clutch]
The second one-way clutch 10 is provided to prevent the planetary gear mechanism 40 from operating due to the reverse rotation of the motor 4 when the handle 2a is operated. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the second one-way clutch 10 is a claw wheel 81 that is non-rotatably mounted on the second shaft portion 75 b of the mechanism mounting shaft 75, and a swing that makes contact with and separates from the claw wheel 81. A claw 82; a torsion coil spring 83 that urges the swing claw 82 toward the claw wheel; and a claw control mechanism 84 that controls the swing claw 82 when the motor 4 rotates forward in the yarn winding direction. ing.

  The claw wheel 81 has an oval hole 81b that engages with a chamfered portion 75c formed in the second shaft portion 75b of the mechanism mounting shaft 75 in a non-rotatable manner at the center. Moreover, it has two protrusion parts 81a formed in the outer periphery so as to protrude in the radial direction.

  The swinging claw 82 has a base end mounted on a swinging shaft 80 erected on the bulging portion 27 of the side plate 16 so as to be swingable. At the tip of the swinging claw 82, a claw portion 82a that protrudes to the back side in FIG. 8 is formed. The claw portion 82a contacts the projection 81a of the claw wheel 81 to prevent reverse rotation of the claw wheel 81 (output shaft 30), and contacts the silent cam 85 (to be described later) of the claw control mechanism 84 to dodge the projection 81a. It is provided to swing the swinging claw 82 to the position.

The swing pawl 82, the first clutch return mechanism 11, and the reverse-rotation prohibition position contactable with the protrusion 81a shown in FIG. 9, with swings between a reverse rotation permission position shown in FIG. 1 0, 11 As shown, the motor 4 slightly swings to the reverse rotation permission position side to the position where the projection 81a of the ratchet wheel 81 is displaced when the motor 4 rotates forward.

The claw control mechanism 84 is a mechanism for swinging the swing claw 82 to the reverse rotation permission position side to a position where the projection 81a of the claw wheel 81 is displaced when the motor 4 rotates forward. The claw control mechanism 84 is rotatably mounted on the first shaft portion 75a of the mechanism mounting shaft 75, and has a silent cam 85 having a protruding pressing portion 85a on the outer periphery for pressing the swinging claw 82 toward the reverse rotation prohibiting position. And a rotation restricting portion 86 for restricting the rotation range of the silent cam 85. The silent cam 85 is frictionally engaged with the first shaft portion 75 a and rotates in the same direction in conjunction with the rotation of the mechanism mounting shaft 75, and the rotation cam 86 rotates the silent cam 85. The mechanism mounting shaft 75 can rotate even if it is restricted. The rotation restricting portion 86 includes a locking piece 86a that is integrally formed so as to protrude in the radial direction from the silent cam 85, and a notch portion 86b that is formed on the cover member 28 and is locked with the locking piece 86a. Yes. The notch 86b is formed by cutting the arc-shaped side surface of the cover member 28 into an arc shape within the swing range. A washer 87 is mounted between the silent cam 85 and the claw wheel 81.

[Configuration of first clutch return mechanism]
The first clutch return mechanism 11 returns the clutch mechanism 7 from the clutch-off state to the clutch-on state via the clutch switching mechanism 8 by the reverse rotation of the motor 4. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 8, the first clutch return mechanism 11 includes a pressing mechanism 88 that is mounted on the mechanism mounting shaft 75 side by side with the ratchet wheel 81 and rotates in conjunction with at least the reverse rotation of the motor 4, and the clutch switching mechanism 8. And an interlocking mechanism 89 that operates in conjunction with the.

The pressing mechanism 88 is arranged on the third shaft portion 75 d of the mechanism mounting shaft 75 side by side with the claw wheel 81, and rotates in conjunction with the reverse rotation of the motor 4. The pressing mechanism 88 includes a roller clutch 90 mounted on the third shaft portion 75d and a pressing member 91 mounted non-rotatably on the outer peripheral side of the roller clutch 90. The roller clutch 90 is an outer ring idle type one-way clutch having an outer ring 90a and a plurality of rollers 90b housed in the outer ring 90a. The inner ring is integrated with the third shaft portion 75d of the mechanism mounting shaft 75. The roller clutch 90 transmits only the reverse rotation of the motor 4 to the pressing member 91. Here, the roller clutch 90 is attached to the pressing member 91 when the interlocking mechanism 89 is close to the pressing member 91 and the motor 4 is rotated forward in the clutch-off state. This is to prevent a problem from occurring even if contact is made. When the motor 4 rotates in the reverse direction, the rotation of the pressing member 91 is transmitted via the roller clutch 90 and rotates. The pressing member 91 includes, for example, three cylindrical portions 91a that are non-rotatably mounted on the outer ring 90a of the roller clutch 90, and are formed on the outer peripheral side of the cylindrical portion 91a in the radial direction and spaced apart in the circumferential direction. And a protrusion 91b. The protrusion 91 b is a protrusion that can press the interlock mechanism 89.

  The interlocking mechanism 89 operates in conjunction with the operation of the clutch switching mechanism 8. When the clutch mechanism 7 is switched to the clutch-off state by the clutch switching mechanism 8, the interlocking mechanism 89 comes into contact with the swinging claw 82 and moves the swinging claw 82 to the claw wheel. It moves away from 81 and moves to a release position where pressing by the pressing mechanism 88 is possible. As a result, the motor 4 enters the reverse rotation permission state. Further, when the motor 4 rotates in the reverse state, the interlocking mechanism 89 is pressed by the pressing mechanism 88 and moves to a locking position where pressing is impossible. When moved to the locking position, the swinging claw 82 moves away from the swinging claw 82 and is locked to the claw wheel 81.

  The interlock mechanism 89 passes through the side plates 16 and 17, has one end rotatably mounted on the side plates 16 and 17, and a connection shaft 93 disposed outside the fixed frame 20, and cannot be rotated at both ends of the connection shaft 93. The first and second lever members 94 and 95 are attached, and the advance / retreat member 96 is connected to the tip of the second lever member 95.

The connecting shaft 93 is a shaft member that is rotatably attached to the side plates 16 and 17 and has one end protruding outward from the fixed frame 20 and the other end protruding outward from the side plate 16. Chamfered portions 93a and 93b that are parallel to each other for mounting the first and second lever members 94 and 95 in a non-rotatable manner are formed at the protruding ends of the connecting shaft 93. The first lever member 94 has a base end Is a member that is non-rotatably attached to the chamfered portion 93a of the connecting shaft 93 on the fixed frame 20 side. The distal end of the first lever member 94 is locked to the distal end of the third projecting portion 56c of the clutch cam 51 constituting the clutch switching mechanism 8 so as to be rotatable and movable for a predetermined distance. Thereby, the rotation of the clutch cam 51 is transmitted to the first clutch return mechanism 11, and the return operation of the first clutch return mechanism 11 is transmitted to the clutch cam 51 and the clutch switching mechanism 8 can be operated.

  The second lever member 95 is a member whose base end is non-rotatably attached to the chamfered portion 93 b of the connecting shaft 93 on the side plate 16 side. The distal end of the second lever member 95 is locked to the proximal end of the advance / retreat member 96 so as to be rotatable and movable for a predetermined distance. As a result, the advance / retreat member 96 advances and retracts in conjunction with the operation of the clutch switching mechanism 8, and the clutch changeover mechanism 8 operates in the clutch-off direction by the backward operation of the advance / retreat member 96.

  The advancing / retracting member 96 is guided by a pair of guide portions 27 a and 27 b formed on the bulging portion 27 so as to be linearly movable toward the swinging claw 82 and the pressing member 88. The advancing / retracting member 96 is a plate-like member in which the second lever member 95 is connected to the base end so as to be rotatable and movable within a predetermined range. The advancing / retracting member 96 is understood by the swinging claw 82 and extends so that it can contact the lower surface of the swinging claw 82, and a second contact member 96b bent from the base of the first contact portion 96a toward the pressing member 91. A contact portion 96b is provided at the tip. The advancing / retreating member 96 has a release position shown in FIG. 10 in which the second contact portion 96b can be pressed by the pressing member 91 and the first contact portion 96a presses the swinging claw 82 to swing to the reverse rotation permission position, The one contact part 96a is movable away from the swinging claw 82 and to the locking position shown in FIG. 9 where the pressing by the pressing member 91 is impossible. Specifically, when the clutch switching mechanism 8 moves from the clutch-off position to the clutch-on position side, the first and second lever members 94 and 95 swing and the advance / retreat member 96 advances to the release position, and the motor 4 When it is pressed by the pressing member 91 by reverse rotation, it moves backward to the locking position. As a result, the clutch cam 51 rotates in the clutch-on direction via the second and first lever members 95, 94, the clutch operation lever 50 returns to the clutch-on position, and the clutch mechanism 7 enters the clutch-on state.

[Configuration of second clutch return mechanism]
The second clutch return mechanism 12 returns the clutch cam 51 disposed at the clutch-off position to the clutch-on position according to the rotation of the handle 2a in the yarn winding direction, and returns the clutch mechanism 7 to the clutch-on state. The cam 51 returns the clutch operation lever 50 from the clutch-off position to the clutch-on position. The second clutch return mechanism 12 urges the engaging member 61, the ratchet wheel 62 having ratchet teeth 62a formed on the outer periphery thereof, and the engaging member 61 to be moved toward the engaging position and the non-engaging position. And a second toggle spring 66. As described above, the engaging member 61 is swingably supported by the second projecting portion 56b of the clutch cam 51, and has a first protrusion 61a that engages with the ratchet teeth 62a of the ratchet wheel 62, and a first protrusion 61a. The first protrusion 61a has a second protrusion 61b extending to the left in FIG.

  The first protrusion 61a is bent toward the outside of the ratchet wheel 62, and the second protrusion 61b is bent to the opposite side to the fixed frame 20 side. The fixed frame 20 is formed with a deformed trapezoidal guide protrusion 20a that engages with the second protrusion 61b. The guide protrusion 20a is provided to control the swinging direction of the engaging member 61 by engaging with the second protrusion 61b.

  When the engaging member 61 is disposed at the engaging position, the first protrusion 61a is located on the inner peripheral side from the outer periphery of the ratchet wheel 62 and can be locked to the ratchet teeth 62a, and is disposed at the non-engaging position. Then, the first protrusion 61 a is located at a position slightly separated from the outer periphery of the ratchet wheel 62. The engaging member 61 is disposed in front of and above the axis of the ratchet wheel 62. For this reason, the space on the rear side of the ratchet wheel 62 can be small as compared with the conventional example disposed behind the ratchet wheel 62. The first protrusion 61a of the engagement member 61 is pulled by the ratchet teeth 62a and rotates from the engagement position shown in FIG. 6 to the non-engagement position shown in FIG.

  Since the level wind mechanism and the casting control mechanism have the same configuration as a conventionally known electric reel, description thereof is omitted.

[Clutch switching operation]
Next, the clutch switching operation of the electric reel 1 will be described.

  In a normal state, the clutch yoke 52 is pushed inward in the pinion gear axial direction by the coil spring 54, whereby the pinion gear 35 is moved to the clutch-on position. In this state, the engagement concave portion 35a of the pinion gear 35 and the engagement convex portion 46a of the second carrier 46 are engaged with each other and the clutch is on.

  When putting the device, the clutch operating lever 50 is swung to the clutch-off position shown in FIG. When the clutch operating lever 50 swings from the clutch-on position shown in FIG. 5 to the clutch-off position shown in FIG. 6, the clutch cam 51 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. As a result, the clutch yoke 52 rides on the cam protrusions 57a and 57b of the clutch cam 51, and the clutch yoke 52 is moved outward in the pinion gear axial direction. Since the clutch yoke 52 is engaged with the constricted portion 35c of the pinion gear 35, the pinion gear 35 is also moved in the same direction as the clutch yoke 52 moves outward. In this state, the engagement concave portion 35a of the pinion gear 35 and the engagement convex portion 46a of the second carrier 46 are disengaged, and the clutch is turned off. In this clutch-off state, the spool 3 is in a freely rotatable state. As a result, the fishing line is unwound from the spool 3 due to the weight of the device.

In the yarn feed mode, for example, when the feed amount exceeds a predetermined amount (for example, the water depth display of the device is 6 m) or the rotation speed of the spool 3 exceeds the predetermined speed, the motor 4 rotates in the yarn winding direction. Since the second carrier 46 rotates in the clutch-off state, the planetary gear mechanism 40 does not decelerate even when the motor 4 is rotated forward, but the friction between the planetary gear mechanism 40 and the spool 3 is reduced, and the spool 3 is free. Rotates in the yarn unwinding direction at a higher speed than the rotating state.

  Further, when the clutch cam 51 rotates to the clutch-off position, the engaging member 61 of the second clutch return mechanism 12 is guided by the guide protrusion 20a and swings in the clockwise direction. The spring 66 biases the ratchet wheel 62 inward. As a result, the engaging member 61 is disposed at an engaging position where the engaging member 61 is locked to the ratchet teeth 62a.

  Further, when the clutch cam 51 rotates to the clutch-off position, the advance / retreat member 96 of the interlocking mechanism 89 of the first clutch return mechanism 11 advances from the locking position shown in FIG. 9 to the release position shown in FIG. When the advance / retreat member 96 advances to the release position, the first contact portion 96a contacts the swing claw 82 of the second one-way clutch 10, and the swing claw 82 is moved from the reverse rotation prohibition position shown in FIG. 9 to the reverse rotation permission position shown in FIG. Rocks. As a result, the motor 4 becomes in a state capable of reverse rotation. When the advance / retreat member 96 advances to the release position, the second contact portion 96a is disposed at a position where the projection 91b of the pressing member 91 can be pressed.

When the device is placed on a predetermined shelf, the motor 4 is rotated in the reverse direction, the handle 2a is rotated in the yarn winding direction, or the clutch operating lever 50 is swung to the clutch-on position to stop the thread feeding of the spool 3. . When the automatic shelf stop mode, the yarn feeding spool 3 by the reverse rotation of the motor 4 is stopped at automatically rack position.

When the motor 4 is reversely rotated, the first clutch return mechanism 11 returns to the clutch-on state. When the motor 4 is reversely rotated, as shown in FIG. 10, the pressing member 91 is reversely rotated (clockwise rotation in FIG. 10), and any one of the three protruding portions 91b presses the second contact portion 96b of the advance / retreat member 96. Then, the advance / retreat member 96 is retracted from the release position toward the locking position. Then, the clutch cam 51 connected to the first lever member 94 via the second lever member 95 and the connecting shaft 93 rotates clockwise in FIG. At this time, when the dead point of the first toggle spring 65 is exceeded, the clutch cam 51 returns to the clutch-on position, whereby the advance / retreat member 96 also returns to the locking position. When the clutch cam 51 rotates clockwise toward the clutch-on position, the clutch yoke 52 riding on the cam protrusions 57a and 57b of the clutch cam 51 descends from the cam protrusions 57a and 57b and the coil spring 54 is attached. It moves inward in the spool axial direction by the force. As a result, the pinion gear 35 also moves inward in the spool axial direction and is disposed at the clutch-on position. The clutch cam 51 when rotated in FIG. 6 clockwise, also the clutch lever 50 which is engaged with the first collision detection section 56a swings to the clutch on position. Thereby, the clutch mechanism 7 can be changed from the clutch-off state to the clutch-on state without operating the clutch operation lever 50. When the advancing / retracting member 96 is locked and returned to the position, the swinging claw 82 urged by the torsion coil spring 83 returns to the reverse rotation prohibiting position, and the first one-way clutch 9 enters the reverse rotation prohibiting state, and the motor Inversion of 4 is prohibited.

  During the reverse rotation of the motor 4, the pressing member 91 mounted on the mechanism mounting shaft 75 via the roller clutch 90 collides with the second contact portion 96 b of the advance / retreat member 96 and presses it. At this time, an impact acts on the pressing member 91, and the torque caused thereby acts on the serration 30 a of the fixed portion between the mechanism mounting shaft 75 and the output shaft 30. Since this portion has a small diameter, the force in the tangential direction is increased, and if the power supply voltage is applied to the motor 4 as it is, there is a possibility that the portion may idle. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as described above, the motor 4 is controlled with a gradually increasing duty ratio, and the voltage applied to the motor 4 is gradually increased to a voltage that can press the advance / retreat member 96. As a result, the torque when the pressing member 91 collides with the advancing / retracting member 96 at the start of reverse rotation is reduced, and the drive components mounted on the output shaft 30 such as the mechanism mounting shaft 75 mounted with the pressing member 91 are less likely to idle. .

  When the handle 2a is rotated in the yarn winding direction, the second clutch return mechanism 12 returns to the clutch-on state. When the handle 2a is rotated in the yarn winding direction, the handle shaft 33 rotates clockwise in FIG. Accordingly, the ratchet wheel 62 fixed to the handle shaft 33 so as not to rotate is also rotated clockwise. When the ratchet wheel 62 rotates clockwise, the first protrusion 61a of the engaging member is caught by the ratchet teeth 62a, and the engaging member 61 is pulled.

  When the engaging member 61 is pulled, the engaging member 61 is guided by the guide protrusion 20 a and swings counterclockwise. When the engaging member 61 exceeds the dead point of the second toggle spring 66, the engaging member 61 is moved to the ratchet wheel 62. Is energized outward. Then, the engaging member 61 swings outward toward the non-engaging position where the ratchet wheel 62 is not engaged.

  When the engaging member 61 is pulled, the clutch cam 51 connected to the engaging member 61 rotates clockwise in FIG. 6 and returns to the clutch-on position as described above. Thereby, also here, the clutch mechanism 7 can be changed from the clutch-off state to the clutch-on state without operating the clutch operation lever 50.

  The engagement member 61 of the second clutch return mechanism 12 is disposed on the upper front side of the handle shaft 33. The upper front position of the handle shaft 33 is an empty space when the counter 5 is provided. When the engaging member 61 is provided in this vacant space, the bulge of the reel main body can be reduced as compared with a configuration in which the engaging member is disposed behind and below the handle shaft as in the prior art.

  In the first and second clutch return mechanisms 11 and 12, even if the clutch operating lever 50 is operated from the clutch-off position to the clutch-on position, the advancing / retracting member 96 returns to the locking position and the engaging member 61 is not engaged. It goes without saying that it returns to the matching position.

  When a fish is put on the device in the clutch-on state, the spool 3 is rotated in the line winding direction by the rotational drive of the handle 2a or the motor 4, and the fishing line is wound up.

  During manual winding, rotation of the handle 2a in the yarn winding direction (clockwise rotation in FIG. 5) is transmitted to the spool 3 at an increased speed via the handle shaft 33, the main gear 34, the pinion gear 35, and the planetary gear mechanism 40. Is done. At this time, the reverse rotation of the motor 4 (counterclockwise rotation when viewed from the right side of FIG. 3) is prohibited by the second one-way clutch 10. For this reason, the first sun gear 41 of the planetary gear mechanism 40 does not reverse, and the second planetary gear 44 and the first carrier rotate from the second carrier 46 that rotates in the yarn winding direction (clockwise rotation as viewed from the right side in FIG. 3). The rotation is transmitted to the internal gear 3d via the first planetary gear 43, and the spool 3 is driven to increase in the yarn winding direction.

  When the motor is driven, the rotation of the motor 4 that normally rotates (clockwise rotation as viewed from the right side in FIG. 3) is transmitted to the spool 3 via the planetary gear mechanism 40. At this time, the first one-way clutch 9 prohibits rotation of the handle shaft 33 in the yarn feeding direction (counterclockwise rotation when viewed from the right side of FIG. 4), and therefore the second carrier 46 is reversely rotated (viewed from the right side of FIG. 4). (Clockwise rotation) is prohibited. For this reason, the rotation of the decelerated second sun gear 42 is transmitted to the internal gear 3d via the second planetary gear 44, and the spool 3 is driven to decelerate.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the motor 4 rotates in the forward direction (counterclockwise rotation in FIG. 11) in the clutch-on state, the silent cam 85 of the pawl control mechanism 84 rotates in the same direction, and the rotation restricting portion 86. As a result, the claw portion 82a of the swinging claw 82 stops at the position where the pressing portion 85a presses. At this time, since the silent cam 85 is merely frictionally engaged with the mechanism mounting shaft 75, the motor 4 rotates as it is. As a result, the swinging claw 82 is pressed by the pressing portion 85a and swings to the reverse rotation permission position side to the position where the projection 81a of the claw wheel 81 is displaced, so that the claw wheel 81 does not contact the swinging claw 82. For this reason, when the motor 4 rotates in the forward direction, the click sound due to the swinging claw 82 of the first one-way clutch 9 repeatedly contacting the claw wheel 81 is not generated, and the noise can be reduced.

  When the motor 4 rotates in the reverse direction, the silent cam 85 also rotates in the same direction, and as shown in FIG. 10, the rotation restricting portion 86 stops at a position where the pressing portion 85a is disengaged from the claw portion 82a, and the swinging claw 82 is twisted. The coil spring 83 is biased to return to the reverse rotation prohibited position.

  Further, when the motor 4 rotates in the forward direction in the clutch-off state as in the yarn feed mode, the silent cam 85 can also rotate in the same direction to achieve noise reduction. At this time, since the pressing member 91 is mounted on the mechanism mounting shaft 75 via the roller clutch 90 that transmits only the reverse rotation of the motor 4, the rotation of the mechanism mounting shaft 75 is not transmitted to the pressing member 91. For this reason, even if the advancing / retracting member 96 is disposed so as to be in contact with the pressing member 91 in the clutch-off state, the pressing member 91 does not press the advancing / retreating member 96, and there is no problem due to this.

[Operation of reel control unit]
Next, specific control processing performed by the reel control unit 100 will be described with reference to the control flowchart of FIG.

When an external power source is connected to the electric reel 1 , initial setting is performed in step S1 of FIG. In this initial setting, the count value of the spool rotation number is reset, and various variables and flags are reset. In step S2, the power supply voltage PV detected by the power supply voltage sensor 103 is captured. In step S3, it is determined whether or not the power supply voltage PV is higher than Vh1 (for example, 12 volts), that is, whether or not a type of storage battery having a higher power supply voltage than the lead storage battery is connected to the reel. When a battery having a high power supply voltage PV (for example, a lithium battery or a nickel metal hydride battery) is connected, the process proceeds from step S3 to step S4 to detect the duty ratio D1 during normal rotation of the motor. Correct according to. Specifically, a value obtained by multiplying the basic duty ratio D1 by a value (Vh1 / PV) obtained by dividing Vh1 (for example, 12) by the power supply voltage PV is set as a new duty ratio D1. As a result, even if the power supply voltage PV fluctuates, the rotation state of the spool 3 is less likely to fluctuate even when duty control is performed during forward rotation (at the time of yarn winding), and is applied to the motor 4 during reverse rotation (at the time of clutch return). Voltage is less likely to fluctuate. In this embodiment, the power supply voltage for determining the power supply is determined only once after the initial setting for connecting the power supply. However, the determination may be performed a plurality of times after the power supply is connected.

In step S5, display processing is performed. In the display process, various display processes such as water depth display are performed. In step S6, it is determined whether any button of the operation key unit 99 or the adjustment lever 101 is operated. In step S7, it is determined whether or not the spool 3 is rotating. This determination is made based on the output of the spool sensor 102. In step S8, the power supply voltage detection process shown in FIG. 20 for monitoring voltage abnormality is performed. In step S9, it is determined whether or not the water depth data LX calculated from the output of the spool sensor 102 exceeds 6 m. In step S10a, when the water depth data LX is 6 m or less, it is determined whether or not the spool 3 has stopped for more than 6 seconds. In step S10b, it is determined whether or not there is a request for transmission to the fish finder monitor 120. In step S11, it is determined whether any of the three lead wires 152a, 152b, 152c of the potentiometer 104 connected to the adjustment lever 101 is disconnected. This determination is made based on the voltage output from the potentiometer 104 as described above. In step S12, it is determined whether any other command or input has been made. When these determinations are finished, the process returns to step S5.

When key input is performed by the operation key unit 99 or the adjustment lever 101, the process proceeds from step S6 to step S13, and the key input process shown in FIG. 15 is executed. When the rotation of the spool 3 is detected, the process proceeds from step S7 to step S14. In step S14, each operation mode process shown in FIG. 17 is executed. When the water depth data LX exceeds 6 m, the process proceeds from step S9 to step S15. In step S15, it is determined whether or not the device stop time in the water depth data LX exceeds 6 seconds. If it is longer than 6 seconds, it is considered that the device has stopped on the shelf, so the process proceeds to step S16 and the water depth data LX is set at the shelf position M. When the water depth data LX is 6 m or less and the spool 3 has stopped for more than 6 seconds, it is considered that the device has stopped at the ship's edge. For this reason, the process proceeds from step S10a to step S17, and the water depth data LX is set to the ship edge yarn length FB. If there is a transmission request, the process proceeds from step S10b to step S18. In step S18, the requested data is transmitted to the fish finder monitor 120. For example, the water depth data LX and items set on the reel side are transmitted to the fish finder monitor 120. If it is determined that data has been received from the fish finder monitor 120, the process proceeds from step S11 to step S19. In step S19, a reception setting process is performed for performing various settings such as a scorpion mode and an auto sag mode according to the received content. If any other command or input is made, the process proceeds from step S12 to step S20 to execute other processes.

  In the key input process in step S13 in FIG. 14, as shown in FIG. 15, it is determined whether or not the stage ST operated by the adjustment lever 101 in step S21 is zero. Here, when the stage ST is 0, the process proceeds to step S22 and the motor 4 is stopped (turned off). In addition, when already stopped, the stopped state is maintained as it is. In step S23, it is determined whether or not the menu button MB has been operated. In step S24, it is determined whether or not the enter button DB has been operated. In step S25, it is determined whether or not the fast winding button HB has been operated. In step S26, it is determined whether another key operation, for example, an operation such as setting a learning mode by operating the memo button TB or operating the memo button MB and the fast-winding button HB for a predetermined time has been performed.

If step ST of the adjusting lever 101 is not 0, the program proceeds from Step S2 1 to step S27. In step S27, it is determined whether or not the water depth data LX is 0 or less. In this embodiment, in order to protect the tip of the fishing rod, in the state where the ship's edge mode (mode in which the spool winding is automatically stopped in a state where the device is easily collected) is set, the water depth can be adjusted even if the adjustment lever 101 is operated. When the data LX is 0 or less, no further winding is possible. As described above, the ship edge mode is automatically set when the spool 3 is stopped for a predetermined time (for example, 6 seconds) or more when the water depth data LX is 6 m or less. When the water depth data LX is not 0 or less, the process proceeds to step S28, and the motor driving process shown in FIG. 16 is executed. When the water depth data LX is 0 or less, the process proceeds from step S27 to step S29. In step S29, it is determined whether or not the ship edge mode is set. When it is not the ship edge mode, the process proceeds to step S28 to execute the motor driving process. In the ship edge mode, the process proceeds to step S30, and the adjustment lever 101 is moved twice in a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) toward the stage ST = 0 which is the swing start position (that is, three or more different directions). It is determined whether or not a rocking operation has been performed. By this special click operation, the spool 3 can be driven in the winding direction even in the ship edge mode and when the water depth data LX is 0 or less. Accordingly, when it is determined that the click operation has been performed, the process proceeds to step S28 to execute the motor driving process. If the click operation has not been performed, no processing is performed to prohibit the motor drive, and the process proceeds to step S23.

  When the menu button MB is operated, the process proceeds from step S23 to step S31, and the item of the character or shelf position displayed on the water depth display unit 98 is moved while blinking to select an item.

When the determination button DB is operated, the process proceeds from step S24 to step S32. In step S32, the decision button DB is determined whether or not pressed for at least 3 seconds. When it is not long press, it transfers to step S33. In step S33, the selected item is determined and the process proceeds to step S34. In step S34, it is determined whether or not the determined item needs to be transmitted to the fish finder monitor 120. If it is necessary to transmit, the process proceeds to step S35 to request transmission of the item, and if not required, step S35 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S25. On the other hand, if it is determined that the button is long-pressed, the process proceeds from step S32 to step S36. In step S36, the current water depth data LX is set to 0 as a reference yarn length serving as a reference for the yarn length. Thus, the subsequent water depth is displayed by setting the water depth data LX at the set position to 0, and the yarn length thereafter.

  When the fast winding button HB is operated, the process proceeds from step S25 to step S37. In step S37, it is determined whether or not the water depth data LX is less than the ship edge yarn length FB. When the water depth data LX is equal to or larger than the ship edge yarn length FB, the process proceeds to step S38, and it is determined whether or not a prohibition flag FP for prohibiting driving of the motor 4 set in the power supply voltage detection process described later is set (ON). to decide. When the prohibition flag FP is not set, the process proceeds to step S39, the first duty ratio D1 is set to 95%, for example, and the motor 4 is driven at the highest speed. When the water depth data LX is less than the ship edge yarn length FB, the process proceeds to step S26 in order to invalidate the operation by the fast winding button HB. When other key inputs such as a memo button TB or an operation to enter a bobbin learning mode are performed, the process proceeds from step S26 to step S40 to perform a key input process according to the operation and return to the main routine.

  In the motor driving process by the adjustment lever 101 in step S28 in FIG. 15, the rotation speed of the spool 3 (an example of the rotation speed of the motor 4) is detected and the motor 4 is controlled at a constant speed when the stage ST is from the first stage to the fourth stage. From step 5 to step 30, the motor 4 is torque-controlled so that the tension acting on the fishing line is constant. In the motor driving process, as shown in FIG. 16, it is determined whether or not the prohibition flag FP described above is set in step S41a. If the prohibition flag FP is set, this process ends and the process returns to the key input process. If the prohibition flag FP is not set, the process proceeds to step S41b. In step S41b, it is determined whether or not the stage ST based on the swing angle of the adjustment lever 101 is any one of 1 to 4 stages. This determination is made based on the voltage of the signal output from the potentiometer 104. In step S42, it is determined whether the stage ST is any of 5 to 30 stages.

Stage ST is the case of the 1-4 stage proceeds from step S41 b to step S43. In step S43, the speed V output from the spool sensor 102 is captured. In step S44, it is determined whether or not the speed V of the spool 3 is less than the lower limit speed Vst1 corresponding to the stage ST. In step S45, it is determined whether or not the speed V of the spool 3 exceeds the upper limit speed Vst2 corresponding to the stage ST. It should be noted that the stage ST in which the speed control is performed is 1 to 4 and the lower limit speed Vst1 and the upper limit speed Vst2 are provided for each stage ST when the speed varies between the speeds Vst1 and Vst2. This is because there is no change in wowing in which the duty ratio fluctuates frequently, and feedback control is stabilized. The upper limit speed Vst2 and the lower limit speed Vst1 are set within, for example, ± 10% of the target speed Vst.

When the speed V is less than the lower limit speed Vst1, the process proceeds from step S44 to step S46, and the current first duty ratio D1 is read. The first duty ratio D1 is stored in the storage unit 107 every time the setting is changed. In addition, the maximum value DUst and the minimum value DLst are set for each stage ST. When the stage ST is initially set, for example, the intermediate first duty ratio D1 = ((DUst + DLst) / 2) is set. Is done. In step S47, it is determined whether or not the current first duty ratio D1 exceeds the set maximum value DUst. When exceeding, the process proceeds to step S48, and the maximum value DUst is set to the first duty ratio D1. If not, the process proceeds from step S47 to step S49, the first duty ratio D1 is increased by a predetermined increment DI (for example, 1%), and the process proceeds to step S45. The maximum value DUst at the highest stage (ST = 4) is also set to 85% or less. Therefore, the upper limit of the adjustment operation by the adjustment lever 101 is a duty ratio of 85%.

  When the speed V exceeds the upper limit speed Vst2, the process proceeds from step S45 to step S50, and the current first duty ratio D1 is read. The first duty ratio D1 is the same as that in step S46. In step S51, it is determined whether or not the current first duty ratio D1 is below the minimum value DLst at which the current first duty ratio D1 is set. If it is below, the process proceeds to step S52, and the minimum value DLst is set to the first duty ratio D1. If not, the process proceeds from step S51 to step S53, the first duty ratio D1 is reduced by a predetermined decrement DI (for example, 1%), and the process proceeds to step S42.

  When the stage ST is 5 to 30 stages, the process proceeds from step S42 to step S54. In step S54, the first duty ratio D1 is set to the duty ratio Dst corresponding to the stage ST. As a result, when the stage ST is 5 to 30 stages, the current flowing through the motor 4 is controlled to increase at each stage, and the motor 4 is torque controlled. The duty ratio Dst corresponding to each stage ST is a value at a reference bobbin diameter (for example, spool body diameter) with respect to the stage ST, and the duty ratio Dst is stepwise in proportion to the bobbin diameter as the bobbin diameter increases. Gradually grows. Thereby, the torque increases according to the bobbin diameter, and the tension of the fishing line where the torque increases as the bobbin diameter increases becomes substantially constant. The maximum value DUst at the highest stage (ST = 4) of constant speed control and the maximum duty ratio at the highest stage (ST = 30) of torque control are set to 85% or less. Therefore, the upper limit of the adjustment operation by the adjustment lever 101 is a duty ratio of 85%.

  In each operation mode process in step S14 of FIG. 14, as shown in FIG. 17, it is determined in step S611 whether or not the rotation direction of the spool 3 is the yarn unwinding direction. This determination is made based on which Hall element of the spool sensor 102 has emitted a pulse first. If it is determined that the rotation direction of the spool 3 is the yarn feeding direction, the process proceeds from step S61 to step S62. In step S62, every time the count value of the pulse output from the spool sensor 102 decreases, data indicating the relationship between the water depth and the count value stored in the reel control unit 100 is read based on the count value, and the water depth data LX is calculated. To do. This water depth data LX is displayed in large 7-segment characters in the central portion of the water depth display unit 98 in the display process of step S5. In step S63, a transmission request for the water depth data LX is made.

  In step S64, it is determined whether or not the yarn feed mode is set. In step S65, it is determined whether or not the shelf stop mode. In step S66, it is determined whether or not another mode is selected. If it is not in another mode, each operation mode process is terminated and the process returns to the main routine.

In the yarn feed mode, the process proceeds from step S64 to step S67. In step S67, it is determined whether or not the water depth data LX exceeds 6 m. In the line feed mode, the motor 4 is not normally rotated from the beginning, but waits for the fishing line to be fed to a water depth at which it can be determined that the fishing line has been reliably fed. When the water depth data LX exceeds 6 m, the process proceeds to step S68 and the motor 4 is rotated forward. As a result, as described above, the friction between the planetary gear mechanism 40 and the spool 3 is reduced, and the spool 3 rotates in the yarn unwinding direction at a higher speed. When the water depth data LX is 6 m or less, step S68 is skipped.

  The process proceeds from step S65 for determining the shelf stop mode to step S69. In step S69, it is determined whether the obtained water depth data LX coincides with the shelf position M, that is, whether the device has reached the shelf. The shelf position is set by pressing the memo button TB when the device reaches the shelf, in addition to the above-described automatic setting by stopping for a predetermined time or more. When the device reaches the shelf position, the process proceeds from step S69 to step S70. In step S70, the buzzer 106 is sounded to notify that the device is on the shelf. In step S71, the motor 4 is reversely rotated for a predetermined time. At this time, the duty ratio is gradually increased, and the voltage applied to the motor 4 is gradually increased. As a result, excessive torque due to impact is less likely to act on the mechanism mounting shaft 75, and the mechanism mounting shaft 75 mounted on the output shaft 30 of the motor 4 is less likely to idle. Due to the reverse rotation of the motor 4, the clutch mechanism 7 is returned to the clutch-on state by the first clutch return mechanism 11 via the clutch switching mechanism 8 in the above-described operation. As a result, the rotation of the spool in the yarn unwinding direction stops. If the water depth data LX has not reached the shelf position M, steps S70 and S71 are skipped. If it is determined that the mode is another mode, the process proceeds from step S66 to step S72, and the set other mode processing is executed.

  When the rotation of the spool 3 is determined to be the yarn winding direction, the process proceeds from step S61 to step S73. In step S73, every time the count value of the spool sensor 102 increases, the data stored in the reel control unit 100 is read and the water depth data LX is calculated. This water depth is displayed in the display process of step S5. In step S74, a transmission request is output as in step S63. In step S75, it is determined whether or not the auto rewind mode is set. This automatic pitching mode can be set on the fish finder monitor 120. When this auto rewind mode or a replay mode to be described later is set, a reed width that is a range in which a replay operation of the replay mode or the auto replay mode is performed, and a replay pattern according to an interval at which the motor 4 is turned on / off can be set.

When invited to set the width, as shown in FIG. 2 2, the width SA invites the fish finder monitor 120 side is displayed on the position corresponding to water depth, as indicated by hatching. In addition, the fish finder monitor 120 displays information such as the shelf position ED2 output from the fish finder 140, the device position FL based on the water depth data LX, and the seabed ED2 . Also, in the menu screen in the fish finder monitor 120 side, as shown in FIG. 2 1, it is able to perform also the electric reel 1 side of various settings including the setting and invitation width SA Auto invitation.

  In step S76, it is determined whether or not the saddle mode is set. The scorpion mode is a mode in which, when the scorpion on / off button 134 of the fish finder monitor 120 is operated, a scorpion operation is performed with a scorpion pattern set in the range of the basin width set from the water depth. In step S77, it is determined whether or not the ship edge mode is set.

  If it is determined that the auto rewind mode is set, the process proceeds from step S75 to step S78. In step S78, the automatic pitching process shown in FIG. 18 is executed. In this automatic rewinding process, a rewinding operation for turning on and off the motor 4 within a range (saw width SA) set by a replay pattern set from the shelf position M is performed. Specifically, it is determined in step S90 in FIG. 18 whether or not the water depth data LX has been wound up beyond the shelf width M from the shelf position M. If the device is within the ramp width SA, the process proceeds to step S91. In step S91, it is determined whether or not a timer TN for setting the number of times of winding that defines one winding time at the time of winding is on (started). The value of the timer TN varies depending on the pitch pattern. If this timer TN has not started, it means that the rewind operation is performed for the first time. When the timer TN is not on, the process proceeds to step S92 and the timer TN is turned on (started). In step S93, the duty ratio D1 of the motor 4 is set to DN, and the speed of the motor 4 is controlled at a speed corresponding to the pitch pattern. The processing content of this speed control is the same as the control content by the motor drive processing, and the description is omitted. The duty ratio DN also varies depending on the pattern. When the timer TN is already on, these two steps are skipped. In step S94, it is determined whether or not the timer TN has timed up, or whether or not winding has been performed once for a time corresponding to the pitch pattern. When one winding operation is completed, the process proceeds to step S95 where the duty ratio D1 of the motor 4 is set to 0 and the motor 4 is stopped for a predetermined time. In step S96, the timer TN is turned off. If the device has passed the saddle width SA, the process proceeds to step S97 where the variable N is cleared to 0 and the process returns to each mode operation process. When returning to each operation mode process, the winding process of the motor 4 is continued to the ship edge.

If it is determined that the saddle mode is set, the process proceeds from step S76 to step S79. In step S79, the jigging process shown in FIG. 19 is executed. In the scouring process, a scouring operation is performed to turn the motor 4 on and off within a range (saw width SA) set by the scouring pattern set from the starting water depth RLX when the scorpion on / off button 134 is operated. Specifically, in step S99 of FIG. 19, it is determined whether or not the saddle flag IF indicating that the saddle on / off button 134 has been pressed is received by the receiving means and the saddle mode is entered. This determination is performed in order to determine whether or not the processing of the saddle mode is entered only after the saddle on / off button 134 is operated. When the saddle flag IF is not turned on, that is, when the saddle mode is entered for the first time, the process proceeds to step S100 and the correct flag IF is turned on. In step S101, the water depth data LX at that time is set to the starting water depth RLX. If the saddle flag IF is already on, these two steps are skipped and the process proceeds to step S102. The processing contents from Step S102 to Step S108 are the same except that Steps S90 to S97, the start water depth RLX, and the shelf position M in the auto scouring mode are the same. In addition, when the saddle width SA is not set, the rapid motion is performed up to the ship edge.

  In this embodiment, the fishing line is wound up by rotating the spool 3 with the same winding time and the same stop time according to the number of times of scouring in the auto scouring mode and the scouring mode. However, the saddle pattern is not limited to this, and may be a variable raising time and a variable stop time. In addition, the speed may be varied during the feeding.

  If it is determined that the ship edge mode is set, the process proceeds from step S77 in FIG. 17 to step S80. In step S80, it is determined whether or not the water depth matches the ship edge stop position. If it has not been wound up to the ship edge stop position, it returns to the main routine. When the ship edge stop position is reached, the process proceeds from step S80 to step S81. In step S81, the buzzer 106 is sounded to notify that the device is on the shore. In step S82, the motor 4 is turned off. As a result, the fish is arranged at a position where it can be easily taken when the fish is caught. As described above, the ship edge stop position is set when the spool 3 is stopped for a predetermined time or more at a water depth of 6 m or less, for example.

  In the power supply voltage detection process in step S8 of FIG. 14, the power supply voltage PV is captured in step S110 of FIG. In step S111, for example, it is determined whether or not the motor 4 is rotating based on the current flowing through the motor 4. If the motor 4 is not rotating, the process proceeds to step S112. In step S112, it is determined whether or not power supply voltage PV has exceeded allowable maximum voltage Vh2 (for example, 18 volts). When the power supply voltage PV exceeds the allowable maximum voltage Vh2, the process proceeds from step S112 to step S113. In step S113, it is determined whether or not a timer T1 for measuring a time exceeding the allowable maximum voltage Vh2 has already been set. For example, when a common power source is used for a plurality of electric reels for boat fishing, the timer T1 can eliminate a voltage increase due to an instantaneous inrush voltage. When the timer T1 has not been set yet, the process proceeds to step S114 to set the timer T1. The value of the timer T1 is preferably in the range of 0.1 second to 1 second, for example. If it is in such a range, even if the voltage rise continues, for example, it becomes difficult to cause damage to the electrical equipment. If the timer T1 has already been set, step S114 is skipped. In step S115, it is determined whether or not the timer T1 has timed up, that is, whether or not the power supply voltage PV has continuously exceeded the allowable maximum voltage Vh2 for the time T1. When the power supply voltage PV continues to exceed the allowable maximum voltage Vh2 for the time T1, the process proceeds to step S116, and instead of the water depth display, for example, the characters Err1 are displayed in the water depth display portion 98a. In step S117, a prohibition flag FP is set (on) to disable the operation of the motor 4 by disabling the operation of the adjustment lever 101 or the fast winding button HB on the motor 4 until the power supply voltage drops below the allowable maximum voltage Vh2. ) In step S118, the timer T1 is reset and the process proceeds to step S121.

  When the power supply voltage PV is equal to or lower than the allowable maximum voltage Vh2, the process proceeds from step S112 to step S119. In step S119, it is determined whether or not the prohibition flag FP is set. Thereby, it is determined whether or not the state is prohibited due to the voltage excess. If the prohibition flag FP is set, the process proceeds to step S120, the prohibition flag FP is reset (turned off), and the process proceeds to step 121. That is, when the power supply voltage PV becomes the allowable maximum voltage Vh2 or less in the motor drive prohibited state, the motor drive prohibition is released.

  In step S121, it is determined whether or not the power supply voltage PV has dropped below the allowable minimum voltage (for example, 9 volts) Vm. If the power supply voltage PV is equal to or higher than the allowable minimum voltage, the process returns to the main routine. When the power supply voltage PV falls below the allowable minimum voltage Vm, the process proceeds from step S121 to step S122. In step S122, it is determined whether or not a timer T2 for measuring the time during which the voltage is below the allowable minimum voltage Vm has already been set. By this timer T2, for example, an instantaneous voltage drop due to an increase in load can be eliminated. When the timer T2 has not been set yet, the routine proceeds to step S123, where the timer T2 is set. The value of the timer T2 is preferably in the range of 0.1 second to 1 second, for example. Within such a range, an instantaneous voltage drop can be reliably eliminated. If the timer T2 has already been set, step S123 is skipped. In step S124, it is determined whether or not the timer T2 has expired, that is, whether or not the power supply voltage PV has continued to fall below the allowable minimum voltage Vm for the time T2. When the power supply voltage PV continues to fall below the allowable minimum voltage Vh2 for the time T2, the process proceeds to step S125, for example, the power supply graphic 98c of the water depth display unit 98 is blinked. In step S126, the timer T2 is reset and the process returns to the main routine.

As described above, in the electric reel 1 , only when the interlock mechanism 89 is operated by the reverse rotation of the motor 4 to return to the clutch-on state, the interlock mechanism 89 is pressed by the pressing mechanism 88 so that the pressing mechanism 88 is Since they are separated from each other, it is not necessary to always interlock the motor 4 and the interlocking mechanism 89. For this reason, when the clutch switching mechanism 8 is manually operated to switch the clutch mechanism 7 from the clutch-off state to the clutch-on state, the motor 4 does not rotate, and a manual return operation is facilitated.

  When the motor 4 rotates forward, the claw control mechanism 84 swings the swing claw 82 to a position where the claw wheel 81 is displaced, so that the swing claw 82 for preventing reverse rotation does not vibrate when the motor 4 rotates forward. Silence can be achieved.

  Furthermore, since the roller clutch 90 is interposed between the pressing member 91 of the pressing mechanism 88 and the output shaft 30 so that the forward rotation of the output shaft 30 is not transmitted to the pressing member 91, in the yarn feeding mode, Even if the pressing member 91 comes into contact with the interlocking mechanism 89, it is not pressed, and the yarn feeding mode can be carried out smoothly.

  Furthermore, since the voltage applied to the motor 4 is gradually increased from the first voltage V1 to the second voltage V2 during the clutch return operation due to the reverse rotation of the motor 4, it is shocking from the start of rotation to the start of the switching operation. An excessive force is not applied to the mechanism mounting shaft 75 fixed to the output shaft 30 of the motor 4 without being a torque load, and the mechanism mounting shaft 75 can be prevented from idling.

  In addition, when the power is turned on, the power supply voltage is detected, and when the power supply voltage is high, the duty ratio D1 and the like are corrected according to the detected power supply voltage. For this reason, each duty ratio becomes a smaller value than before correction, and even if the power supply voltage increases, the rotation state of each setting stage of the motor 4 during forward rotation and the rotation state during reverse rotation are made as constant as possible. Can be maintained. Moreover, since the power supply voltage is detected immediately after the power is turned on, it is possible to quickly recognize that a different type of power supply is connected by comparing the detected power supply voltage with a predetermined voltage.

  In addition, the motor 4 can be driven in the yarn winding direction from the reference yarn length by a special operation that is unlikely to malfunction, such as a click operation to the swing start position within a predetermined time of the adjustment lever 101 even when the ship edge mode is set. For this reason, the spool 4 can be rotated from the reference yarn length to the winding side while preventing damage to the tip due to an erroneous operation.

  Further, since the abnormality of the power supply voltage is determined based on the power supply voltage when the motor 4 is not rotating, the rotation of the motor 4 does not stop due to the abnormality of the power supply in use. In addition, since the determination on the power supply voltage is always performed when the motor 4 is not rotating, it is possible to prevent damage to the equipment due to an abnormality in the power supply voltage in use.

  Furthermore, in the low stages up to the first M stages (for example, 4 stages) out of the N stages, the motor is speed controlled so that the detected speed is the target speed set so that the speed is increased at each stage. Therefore, at a low stage, the motor is controlled to a target speed corresponding to each stage. In addition, at a high stage (for example, 5 to 30 stages), the motor is torque-controlled. For this reason, at a low stage, the rotation of the motor is difficult to stop even if the load is large, and the motor is difficult to rotate at high speed even if the load is small. Therefore, the rotation of the motor is stabilized at a low stage.

[Control operation of fish finder monitor]
Next, specific control operation of the information display unit 124 of the fish finder monitor 120 will be described with reference to the display screen shown in the control flowcharts and 21-23 shown in FIGS. 24 26. In the following description, the case where the electric reel 1 is connected to the fish finder monitor 120 will be described.

  When the power cord 130 is connected to the fish finder monitor 120, initial setting is made in step P1 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 LX is set to 1. In step P2, whether or not fish finder data (specifically, echo data ED2 on the seafloor depth of the fishing ground, echo data ED3 on the shelf position and numerical data ED4 on the bottom water depth) from the fish finder 140 has been received. Judging. If the fish finder data cannot be received, it waits until it can be received. If fish finder data has been received, the process proceeds to step P 3, where the received fish finder data ED 2 to ED 4 are captured and stored in the storage unit 125. In Step P4, it is determined whether or not the electric reel 1 is connected. If the electric reel 1 is not connected, the process proceeds to step P5, and the flag NC indicating that the electric reel 1 is not connected is turned on. When the electric reel 1 is connected, the process proceeds from step P4 to step P6 and the flag NC is turned off. In step P7, reel data such as device depth data LX and setting data transmitted from the electric reel 1 is fetched.

  In step P8, display processing shown in FIG. In this display process, in addition to the opening screen, the water depth data LX obtained from the electric reel 1 and the fish finder data ED2 to ED4 from the fish finder 140 are displayed, and the fish finder screen 210 shown in FIG. The menu screen 200 shown in FIG. In Step P9, it is determined whether or not the operation key unit 123 has been operated. In Step P10, it is determined whether or not there is a transmission request for transmitting the set item or the like to the electric reel 1. In Step P11, for example, it is determined whether or not other processing such as maintenance processing using a hidden command is selected. If the determination is “No”, the processing returns to Step P2. When the operation key unit 123 is operated, the process proceeds from step P9 to step P12, and a key input process described later is performed. When there is a transmission request, the process proceeds from step P10 to step P13, and setting data set in menu processing described later is transmitted to the electric reel 1 via the information communication unit 125. When another process is selected, the process proceeds from step P11 to step P14, the designated other process is executed, and the process returns to step P2.

  In the display process in step P8, it is determined in step P21 in FIG. 25 whether or not 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 P22, it is determined whether or not the menu screen is set by the screen switching button 131. In step P23, it is determined whether or not the fish finder screen is selected by the screen switching button 131. 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 P21 to step P25, and the opening screen is displayed. When the menu screen is set, the process proceeds from step P22 to step P23. In step P23, the menu screen 200 shown in FIG. 21 is displayed. In this menu screen 200, the reception state 201 of the radio wave output from the fish finder 140 is displayed on the upper left of the screen. The radio wave reception state 201 is displayed by the antenna mark 201a and the three lines 201b, and this display is displayed in all display modes. Below that, setting items 202 of various modes of the electric reel 1 (specifically, a shelf stop mode, a saddle mode, a saddle width, an automatic saddle mode, a thread feeding mode, an upper bottom switching mode and an attrition detection mode) and its The setting contents 203, the setting items 204 of the mode of the fish finder monitor 120 (specifically, the position correction mode, the defocused locus mode, the demonstration screen, the contrast and the backlight) and the setting contents 205 are hierarchically displayed as a menu. These setting items 202 and 204 are selected by the cursor button 132, and the setting content is confirmed by the decision button 133. When the saddle mode is selected, a total of six pop-up menus of OFF and five saddle patterns 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are displayed. Here, out of the five saddle patterns, three patterns 1, 2, and 3 are preset ones, and 4 and 5 are saddle patterns that can be registered by learning. The three predetermined pitch patterns are defined by two factors, that is, the rotation speed of the motor 4 and the stop time of the winding time. Therefore, the motor 4 is controlled at a constant speed in the scorpion mode or the auto scorpion mode. The sasa pattern learned by sasa learning is defined by the two elements described above according to the sato operation content at that time.

Here, the position correction is set when it is desired to correct the device water depth data obtained from the electric reel 1 . 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. Further, the scorpion mode is set when it is desired to perform a scouring operation from the water depth at which the scorpion on / off button 134 is operated. The auto rewind mode is set when it is desired to perform a rewind operation from the shelf stop position.

When the fish finder screen 220 is set, the process proceeds from step P23 to step P27. In Step P27, it is determined whether or not the electric reel 1 is connected by the flag NC. When the electric reel 1 is connected, the process proceeds from step P27 to step P28. In Step P28, a fish finder screen 210 as shown in FIG. 22 is displayed. In step P28, monitor and when displaying the scale SC water depth at the right end of the fish finder screen 210, the scale SC right side to the electric gimmicks obtained from the reel 1 water depth data LX to a value obtained by multiplying the correction coefficient K (K × LX) is displayed at a position corresponding to the water depth, for example, with the needle figure FL 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 LX of the device is displayed as it is, After the correction, the corrected water depth data K × LX may be displayed.

  Further, the echo data ED2 of the seabed depth and the echo data ED3 of the shelf position received from the fish detector 140 are displayed in time series at positions corresponding to the depth of the left side of the scale SC. Further, the numerical value ED4 of the water depth data of the seabed is displayed at the lower left of the fish finder screen 210, and the numerical value LXn of the device water depth data (K × LX) is also displayed at the upper left of the fish finder screen 210. Furthermore, the value of a shelf timer (device stationary time set to automatically set the shelf position) is also displayed below the water depth data LXn.

In Step P29, the reception state 201 of the radio wave from the fish finder 1 40 is displayed on the upper left portion of the fish finder screen 210 with the antenna mark 201a and the three lines 201b as in the menu screen 200. In Step P30, it is determined whether or not the display setting of the device trajectory is on. This setting is determined based on whether or not the blurring locus is set to ON on the menu screen 200. If the spot locus display is on, the process proceeds to step P31. In step P31, as shown in FIG. 22, the mechanism trajectory TR, which is a time-series change in the mechanism water depth data (K × LX), is displayed in dots. In step P32, the pitch width SA 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 scorpion mode or the auto sag mode is off.

  In Step P33, it is determined whether or not the enlarged display mode is set. The enlarging display mode can be set by pressing and holding the screen switching button 131 for 3 seconds or more in the key input process. In step P34, other display processing is performed. In another display process, as shown in FIG. 22, for example, a description 206 of the operation is pasted and displayed on the fish finder screen 210. 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.

  When the electric reel 1 is not connected, the process proceeds from step P27 to step P35. In step P35, only the data obtained from the fish finder 140 excluding the water depth data (K × LX) is displayed. In step P36, the radio wave state is displayed as in step S29, and the process proceeds to step P33.

  If the enlarged display mode is set, the process proceeds from step P33 to step P37, and the enlarged screen 220 is displayed. On the enlarged screen 220, as shown in FIG. 23, for example, data ED2 and ED3 and a graphic FL are displayed at positions corresponding to the water depth from half the maximum value of the scale SC. As a result, the display can be enlarged even at a deep water depth, and the display near the bottom can be easily seen.

  When the electric reel 1 is not connected, the process proceeds from step P27 to step P36. In step P36, only the data obtained from the fish finder 140 excluding the water depth data (K × LX) is displayed. In step P37, the radio wave state is displayed as in step S29, and the process proceeds to step P33.

  In such a fish finder screen 210, when the electric reel 1 is connected, the water depth data for the device is displayed as a graphic FL together with the water depth data ED2 for the seabed and the water depth data ED3 for the shelf position. It is possible to determine the timing for applying the sword.

In step P9 of FIG. 24, when any button of the operation key unit 123 is operated, the process proceeds from step P9 to step P12, and the key input process shown in FIG. 26 is executed. In the key input process, it is determined whether or not the screen switching button 131 is operated in step P41 of FIG. In Step P42, it is determined whether or not the cursor button 132 has been operated. In step P43, it is determined whether or not the enter button 133 has been operated. In Step P44, it is determined whether or not the on / off button 134 has been operated. In step P45, it is determined whether or not the on / off button 135 has been operated.

When the screen switching button 131 is operated, the process proceeds from step P41 to step P50. Although not described in step P50, when the motor 4 of the electric reel 1 is rotating, the key input of the screen switching button 131 is invalid. This is so that the screen cannot be switched during winding. In Step P50, for example, it is determined whether or not the screen switching button 131 has been pressed for a length of 3 seconds or longer. If it is determined that the screen switching button 131 has been pressed for a long time, the process proceeds from step P50 to step P51. In step P51, the enlarged display mode is set. Thereby, in the display process mentioned above, it is displayed not from the water depth from the water surface but from the water depth approximately half of the water depth to the bottom on the fish finder screen 210. Each time this long press operation is performed, the enlarged display mode and the standard display mode can be set alternately. When it is not long press, it transfers to step P52 from step P50. In step P52, the screen is switched to either the menu screen or the fish finder screen. This screen switching can alternately set the menu screen 200 and the fish finder screen 210 each time the screen switching button 131 is operated. With these settings, the screen set in the display process is displayed. When these processes are completed, the process proceeds to step P42.

  When the cursor button 132 is operated, the process proceeds from step P42 to step P55. In Step P55, the cursor is moved one by one with the setting item or setting content on the menu screen according to the operation direction of the operated cursor button 132. For example, on / off of the saddle mode and the automatic saddle mode is set. When the saddle mode or the automatic pitch mode is set, the pitch width SA described above can be set. When setting the saddle width, the cursor can be moved to the place of the numeric value of the saddle width, and the numeric value can be changed by operating the cursor button 132 up and down. When setting the saddle pattern, if the cursor is moved to the display position of the saddle pattern, ON, OFF and the characters from pattern 1 to pattern 5 are displayed vertically in the pop-up menu as described above. When the cursor is moved to and the enter button 133 is pressed, the pattern is set. Note that when patterns 4 and 5 are selected, it is possible to learn a further pattern.

  When the enter button 133 is operated, the process proceeds from step P43 to step P56. In step P56, it is determined whether or not it is the fish finder screen 210. If it is determined that the fish finder screen 210 is displayed, the process proceeds to step P57. In Step P57, it is determined whether or not the position correction mode is set (turned on). If the position correction mode is set, the process proceeds to step P58 to perform position correction. Here, when the enter button 133 is operated on the fish finder screen, a correction start signal is output and correction processing is performed.

Normally, this operation is performed when the fisherman performs bottoming to lower the device to the bottom, and the device water depth data LX greatly changes from the actual seabed data ED2, resulting in a contradiction in the display. For example, when the water depth data LX is drawn out 85 m when the device reaches the sea bottom due to the influence of the ocean current or the like, while the actual water depth ED2 of the seabed is 73 meters, the angler operates the enter button 133. Then, the process proceeds to step P57 via step P56, and the correction coefficient K is calculated by dividing the actual seabed water depth data ED2 received at this timing by the device water depth data LX. This correction coefficient K is multiplied by the water depth data LX in the display process. For example, compensation coefficient of the becomes 73/85, water depth LX of the tackle is then displayed by multiplying the correction coefficient K to the next correction process is performed. As a result, the water depth data displayed by the graphic FL and the numerical data LXn are corrected to become corrected water depth data (= 73 m). Incidentally, the correction coefficient power cord 13 0 is cut off the power supply is disconnected is set to 1 by default. Further, such correction processing is not performed on the electric reel 1 side . This is because if such correction is performed with the electric reel 1 , 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 120.

When the position correction in step P5 7 is determined to be OFF, the process proceeds to step P44. If it is determined that it is not the fish finder screen 210, the process proceeds from step P56 to step P59. In step P59, the content of the setting item selected by the cursor is determined and set in the storage unit 126 . In Step P60, it is determined whether or not the setting item relates to the electric reel 1, that is, whether or not it is necessary to transmit to the electric reel 1. When transmission is necessary, a transmission request for transmitting the determined setting is output. As a result, the setting data is transmitted to the electric reel 1 in step P13, and the electric reel 1 side receives the data in step S11 of FIG. 15 and sets various modes set in the fish finder monitor 120 to the electric reel 1 side. To do.

  When the on / off button 134 is operated, the process proceeds from step P44 to step P62. In Step P62, a transmission request for turning on / off the motor 4 with the set pattern set in the set set width is output.

When the on / off button 135 is operated, the process proceeds from step P45 to step P63. In Step P63, it is determined whether or not the monitor display unit 122 is turned on. If the monitor display unit 122 is not yet turned on, the process proceeds to step P64 and the monitor display unit 122 is turned on. If the monitor display unit 122 is already on, the process proceeds to step P65 and the monitor display unit 122 is turned off.

Here, the water depth data to be displayed can be corrected based on the device water depth data LX obtained from the electric reel 1 and the relatively accurate sea bottom water depth data ED2 obtained from the fish detector 140, and the corrected first water depth data can be monitored. Since it displays on the display part 122 , even if a fishing line curves by the flow of a tide, the water depth of a device can be displayed more correctly.

  In addition, when the shave mode is set and the auto shave mode is set and the shave mode is started, the shave mode that performs the on / off control according to the scorpion pattern is performed only during the set saw width. By setting the width of the shelves where the fish are swarmed, it is possible to perform the shave operation efficiently with only the shelves with a simple operation. In addition, even if the slashing operation is started, the sashing operation is automatically completed when the slashing width is finished.Therefore, it is not necessary to turn on and off the extra motor by winding up the fishing line at this point, and it is easy. Winding efficiency can be improved with a simple operation.

[Second Embodiment]
In the first embodiment, for the sake of convenience, the setting of the pitch width and pitch pattern is performed on the fish finder monitor side, but in the second embodiment, the fish finder monitor is used for screen display from the fish finder 140 and various reel settings. All of this is done on the electric reel side. In the following description, parts different from the first embodiment will be mainly described, and description of the same or similar parts will be omitted.

A counter 255 having a water depth display portion 298 is swingably mounted on the top of the reel body 252. Further, an adjustment lever 301 for variably rotating the spool 253 is oscillated on the front side portion of the reel body 252, and a clutch operation lever 300 for turning on and off a clutch mechanism 257 (described later) is oscillated on the rear side portion. It is installed freely.

The adjustment lever 301 is swingably mounted in a range of approximately 140 degrees, a potentiometer 314 (FIG. 28) is mounted on a swing shaft (not shown) of the adjustment lever 301, and a fast winding is provided in the center portion. A button 302 is provided.

Inside the reel body 252 are a rotation transmission mechanism having the same structure as that of the above embodiment, a clutch mechanism provided in the middle of the rotation transmission mechanism, a clutch switching mechanism for switching the clutch mechanism, and a handle 252a in the direction in which the yarn is fed out. a first one-way clutch to prohibit the reverse rotation, and a second one-way clutch to prohibit the reverse rotation in the line reel-out direction of the motor 25 4, a first clutch return mechanism for returning the clutch mechanism to the clutch-on state by the reverse rotation of the motor 25 4, the handle A second clutch return mechanism for returning the clutch mechanism to the clutch-on state by rotation of the yarn winding direction of 252a. Since these configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

Counter 255, and displays the fishing information from tackle water depth and fish finder 140 mounted on the end of the fishing line, are provided for controlling the motor 25 4. The counter 255 is arranged around the water depth display unit 298, and a water depth display unit 298 comprising a liquid crystal display for displaying the device water depth data LX and the shelf position on the basis of two standards, from the water surface and from the bottom. An operation key unit 299 including a plurality of switches is provided.

  The water depth display unit 298 uses, for example, a dot matrix type liquid crystal display with a color of 256 gradations of 160 dots vertically and 120 dots horizontally. In the water depth display section 298, the device water depth data LX is displayed as a graphic, and when the echo data of the bottom position of the fishing ground, the numerical data of the bottom position and the echo data of the shelf position are acquired from the fish detector 140, It is displayed together with the device water depth data LX. In addition, characters, figures, and the like indicating various modes (shelf stop mode, display mode from the bottom, thread feed mode, scorpion mode, etc.) are displayed.

  The operation key part 299 has five buttons 331 to 335 arranged side by side below the water depth display part 298. The screen switching button 331 is a button for switching the display of the water depth display unit 298 between menu display and fishing display. The cursor button 332 is a button for moving the cursor up, down, left, and right in menu processing for performing various settings of the electric reel 250. The determination button 333 is a button for determining an item set in various settings. The memo button 334 is a button for storing the shelf position and the bottom position. The saddle on / off button 335 is a button used when starting the saddle operation. The on / off button 135 is a button for turning on / off the display.

Inside the counter 255, as shown in FIG. 28, the reel control unit 310 comprising a microcomputer for controlling the water depth display unit 98 and the motor 25 4 is provided. The reel control unit 310 includes an operation key unit 299, a spool sensor 312 that detects, for example, two hall elements arranged side by side in the rotation direction, and the speed and fishing line of the spool 293. A potentiometer 314 connected to an adjustment lever 301 for adjusting the tension of the fish and an information communication unit 315 for exchanging information with the fish finder 140 are connected.

  In the reel control unit 310, various notification buzzers 316, a water depth display unit 298 for displaying water depth information, a storage unit 317 for storing various data, and a motor 254 are pulse width modulated (PWM). A motor drive circuit 318 that is driven at a duty ratio is connected to another input / output unit. These components are the same as those in the first embodiment. However, the information communication unit 315 can exchange information with the fish detector 140 by wireless communication such as a specific low power method, a Bluetooth (trademark) method, or a wireless LAN method.

  Next, the control operation of the reel control unit 310 will be described based on the control flowchart of FIG.

When an external power source is connected to the electric reel, initial setting is performed in step S131 of FIG. In this initial setting, the count value of the spool rotation number is reset and various variables and flags are reset as in step S1 of FIG. The processing of step S132 to step S134, step S136 to step S13 9 , step S14 1 , step S14 3 to step S147, and step S149 is the same as step S2 to step S4, step S6, step S7, step S9, step S9 of FIG. Since the same processing as S10a, step S12 to step S14, step S15 to step S17, and step S20 is performed, description thereof is omitted.

  In the display process of step S135, the display process shown in FIG. 30 is performed. In step S140, it is determined whether or not data has been received from the fish finder 140.

In the display process of step S135, it is determined whether the menu screen has been selected at step S161 of FIG. 30. The menu screen is selected by operating a screen switching button in the key input process. When the menu screen is selected, the process proceeds from step S161 to step S163, and a screen 400 shown in FIG. 32 is displayed. In the menu screen 400, the reception state 401 of the radio wave output from the fish finder 140 is displayed at the upper left of the screen, as in the menu screen 200 of FIG. The radio wave reception state 401 is displayed by the antenna mark 401a and the three lines 401b, and this display is displayed in all display modes. Below that, setting items 402 of various modes of the electric reel 250 (specifically, shelf stop mode, scorpion mode, scorpion width, auto scouring mode, thread feeding mode, top bottom switching, enlarged display mode, position correction) Menu, hierarchical trail mode, demo screen, contrast and backlight) and setting contents 403 thereof are hierarchically displayed in a menu.

Here, the following items except for the enlarged display item are the same as those in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 21, and the position correction is to correct the water depth data LX based on the sea bottom water depth data obtained from the fish detector 140. Set when. 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. Further, the scorpion mode is set when it is desired to perform a scouring operation from the depth at which the scorpion on / off button 334 is operated. The auto rewind mode is set when it is desired to perform a rewind operation from the shelf stop position. The enlarged display mode is set on the menu screen in the second embodiment, unlike the first embodiment which is set by long-pressing the screen switching button 131. When this enlarged display mode is set, when the maximum value SCM of the scale SC displayed on the fish finder screen 420 shown in FIG. 33 is displayed exceeding 100 m in the display process, fish finder data is usually displayed from the sea surface. However, the fish finder data is displayed from half the maximum SCM depth. For example, in FIG. 33, since the maximum value SCM is 200 m, fish finder data is displayed from a water depth of 100 m.

When the fish finder screen is selected, the process proceeds from step P162 to step P164. The processing from step S164 to step S172 is the same as the processing from step P27 to step P36 in FIG. 25 and will not be described. However, as shown in FIG. 33, a water depth scale SC is provided at the right end of the fish finder screen 420. When viewing the monitor, the right side to a value obtained by multiplying the correction coefficient K in water depth LX of the tackle of the scale SC (K × LX), for example, at a position corresponding to the water depth of the tackle in symbolization needle shapes FL indicate. Note that the device depth data LX may be displayed as it is before correction, and the corrected water depth data K × LX may be displayed after correction.

  Further, the echo data ED2 of the seabed depth and the echo data ED3 of the shelf position received from the fish detector 140 are displayed in time series at positions corresponding to the depth of the left side of the scale SC. Further, the numerical value ED4 of the water depth data of the seabed is displayed at the lower left of the fish finder screen 210, and the numerical value LXn of the device water depth data (K × LX) is also displayed at the upper left of the fish finder screen 210. Furthermore, the value of a shelf timer (device stationary time set to automatically set the shelf position) is also displayed below the water depth data LXn. In addition, when the spot locus display is turned on, the device locus TR, which is a time-series change of the device water depth data (K × LX), is displayed in dots, and the saw width SA of the scorpion mode is scaled. Displayed on the right side of the SC as shown by hatching. This display is not displayed when the scorpion mode or the auto sag mode is off.

  Further, in another display process of step S170, the mode setting content of the electric reel 250 is displayed near the left center of the screen on the fish finder screen 420. For example, a shelf stop mode, a saddle mode, a thread feed mode, a mode from the top (a mode in which the shelf position is displayed from the water surface), and a position correction mode are displayed in FIG. The display of the set mode is not displayed when the mode is not set.

  When the enlarged display mode is set, the process proceeds from step S169 to step S173. In step S173, it is determined whether or not the maximum value SCM of the scale SC indicating the water depth displayed on the fish finder screen described later exceeds 100 m. The scale SC is automatically set according to the water depth data LX. If the maximum value SCM exceeds 100 m, the process proceeds to step S174 to perform enlarged display. In this enlarged display, as shown in FIG. 33, for example, the data ED2, ED3 and the graphic FL are displayed at positions corresponding to the water depth from half the maximum value of the scale SC. As a result, the display can be enlarged even at a deep water depth, and the display near the bottom can be easily seen.

When the operation key unit 299 and the adjusting lever 301 and Hayamaki button 30 2 is operated to shift from step S136 to step S143. In step S143, the key input process shown in FIG. 31 is performed. In the key input process, it is determined whether or not the screen switching button 331 has been operated in step S181 of FIG. In step S182, it is determined whether or not the cursor button 332 has been operated. In step S183, it is determined whether or not the enter button 333 has been operated. In step S184, it is determined whether or not the on / off button 334 has been operated. In step S185, it is determined whether or not the stage ST operated by the adjustment lever 301 is zero. Here, when the stage ST is 0, the process proceeds to step S186 and the motor 254 is stopped (turned off). In addition, when already stopped, the stopped state is maintained as it is. In step S187, it is determined whether another key input operation such as an operation of the fast winding button 302, an operation of the shelf memo button 334, or a long press operation has been performed. When another key operation is performed, the process proceeds from step S187 to step S200, and processing according to the operated operation is performed. When the fast winding button 302 is operated, the motor 254 is controlled with, for example, 95% duty, and when the shelf memo button 334 is operated, the shelf position and the bottom position are set. For example, when the shelf memo button 334 is pressed for a long time, the device water depth data LX is set at the bottom position.

When the screen switching button 131 is operated, the process proceeds from step S181 to step S190. Although not described in step S190, when the motor 254 of the electric reel 250 is rotating, the key input of the screen switching button 331 is invalid. This is so that the screen cannot be switched during winding. In step S190, for example, it is determined whether or not the screen switching button 331 has been pressed for a length of 3 seconds or longer. When the screen switching button 331 is pressed and held, a zero setting process for setting the water depth data LX for the device to 0 is performed. Normally, when the device reaches the surface of the water at the beginning of fishing, the angler presses the screen switching button 331 for a long time to perform 0 set processing. When it is not long press, it transfers to step S192 from step S190. In step S192, setting is made to switch the screen to either the menu screen or the fish finder screen. This screen switching can alternately set the menu screen 400 and the fish finder screen 420 every time the screen switching button 331 is operated. With these settings, the screen set in the display process is displayed. When these processes are completed, the process proceeds to step S182.

  When the cursor button 332 is operated, the process proceeds from step S182 to step S193. In step S193, the cursor is moved one by one with the setting item or setting content on the menu screen in accordance with the operation direction of the operated cursor button 332. For example, on / off of the saddle mode and the automatic saddle mode is set. When the saddle mode or the automatic pitch mode is set, the pitch width SA described above can be set. When setting the saddle width, the cursor can be moved to the place of the numerical value of the saddle width, and the numerical value can be changed by the up / down operation of the cursor button 332. Further, when setting the saddle pattern, if the cursor is moved to the display position of the saddle pattern, the characters of pattern 1 to pattern 5 are displayed up and down in the pop-up menu. Press to set the pattern. Note that when patterns 4 and 5 are selected, it is possible to learn a further pattern.

  When the enter button 333 is operated, the process proceeds from step S183 to step S194. In step S914, it is determined whether or not the fish finder screen 420 is displayed. If it is determined that the fish finder screen 420 is displayed, the process proceeds to step S195. In step S195, it is determined whether or not the position correction mode is set (turned on). If the position correction mode is set, the process proceeds to step S196 to perform position correction. Here, when the enter button 333 is operated on the fish finder screen, a correction start signal is output and correction processing is performed.

Usually, this operation is performed when the fish finder mode inconsistent display water depth LX of the first embodiment and similar trick to use two data 120 is changed significantly from the actual seabed data ED2 has occurred.

If it is determined in step S195 that the position correction is off, the process proceeds to step S184. If it is determined that it is not the fish finder screen 420, the process proceeds from step S194 to step S197. In step P197 , the content of the setting item selected by the cursor is determined and set in the storage unit 317, and the process proceeds to step S184.

  When the on / off button 355 is operated, the process proceeds from step S184 to step S198. In step S198, a pitching mode is set such that the motor 254 is turned on / off with the pitching pattern set in the set pitching width.

If the stage ST of the adjustment lever 301 is not 0, the process proceeds from step S185 to step S199. In step S199, a motor drive process similar to that shown in FIG. 16 is performed, and the process proceeds to step S187. Ie, the speed control or torque control of the motor 254 in accordance with the rotation angle of the adjusting lever 301. Incidentally, it may be performed only speed control may be performed only torque control.

  Here, the water depth data to be displayed can be corrected based on the device water depth data LX obtained from the electric reel 250 and the relatively accurate water depth data ED2 obtained from the fish detector 140, and the corrected first water depth data can be corrected. Since it displays on the display part 298, even if a fishing line curves by the flow of a tide, the water depth of a device can be displayed more correctly. However, in this case, the depth data LX before correction is always stored in the storage unit 317, and the 0-set position and the boat edge stop position that are not easily affected by the deflection of the fishing line are controlled by the depth data LX before correction.

  Also in the second embodiment, when the shave mode is set and the scouring mode or the auto scouring mode is set, the scorpion mode for performing the on / off control according to the scorpion pattern is performed only during the set swaying width. Therefore, by setting the pitch width to the width of the shelves where the fish are swarmed, it is possible to perform the pitching operation efficiently with only the shelves with a simple operation. In addition, even if the slashing operation is started, the sashing operation is automatically completed when the slashing width is finished.Therefore, it is not necessary to turn on and off the extra motor by winding up the fishing line at this point, and it is easy. Winding efficiency can be improved with a simple operation.

[Other Embodiments]
(A) In the two embodiments, the information from the fish finder 140 is received wirelessly, but may be received by wire.

  (B) In the two embodiments, the fishing information is displayed from the half depth of the bottom water depth in the enlarged display mode, but the display form of the fishing information in the enlarged display mode is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, a reference water depth (for example, 50 m) may be set, and when it becomes deeper than the water depth, it may be enlarged at different magnifications depending on the water depth with the bottom as a reference. Specifically, when the bottom water depth is 80 m, the enlarged display may be performed at 80/50 = 1.6 times.

  (C) In the first embodiment, an electric reel and a fish finder monitor (an example of a fishing information display device) are connected to display the water depth of the device on the fish finder monitor, but it cannot be connected to a fishing reel.
