A protective cap 181 is attached to the tip portion of the elastic arm portion 18 at the base portion. 17 is provided. Thus, when the reel body 10 is not used, the cap 17 and the convex connection terminal 172 can be protected by attaching the protective cap 181 to the cap 17 of the battery connection 16.

  In addition, the battery 30 suspended from the battery connection portion 16 of the reel body 10 includes, for example, a case body 31 including a housing portion 311 and a lid portion 312. The case main body 31 is formed of, for example, a synthetic resin material in a substantially polygonal column shape having an inclined surface 314 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) that forms a finger rest space X in the bottom direction from above. A battery body and a charge / discharge control control unit (not shown) are accommodated therein, and the accommodation unit 311 and the lid unit are joined to each other by bonding, welding, or the like, and are combined into a sealed structure. As the battery body, for example, lithium ion such as lithium cobalt oxide, lithium nickelate, lithium manganate and other lithium-containing compound in the positive electrode, a carbon material not containing lithium in the negative electrode, and a lithium salt dissolved in an organic solvent. Consists of batteries.

  In other words, the lid portion 312 of the case body 31 is provided with a cylindrical portion 313 at a substantially central portion of the upper surface (attachment surface) of the case body 31. The cylindrical portion 313 is formed in a mounting hole shape whose inside opens upward, and a base of a connection connector 34 that is electrically connected to the control portion (not shown) in the mounting hole of the cylindrical portion 313. The end side is sealed and fixed corresponding to the battery connection portion 16 of the reel body 10 via an adhesive or the like, and the connection connector 34 is directed upward via a cylindrical portion 313 constituting the support portion. Is projected. As a result, the connection connector 34 is positioned and fixed in a liquid-tight state in the case main body 31, and can be firmly assembled.

  The connection connector 34 is made of, for example, a flexible non-conductive resin material, and is provided with a pair of concave connection terminals 341 (see FIG. 2) constituting a so-called socket type outlet. The concave connection terminal 341 is electrically connected to the control unit (not shown) at the base end. Here, the connection connector 34 is fixedly attached to the inner side surface of the case body 31 by adhesion in a liquid-tight state, and the tip end side thereof directly protrudes from the cylindrical portion 313, and the concave connection terminal 341 is formed as described above. By being electrically connected to a control unit (not shown), the wiring system can be protected, and it is possible to stably perform repeated attachment / detachment operations of the reel body 10 to / from the battery connection unit 16. .

  Further, the cylindrical portion 313 of the lid portion 312 constitutes a connecting and holding means when the connection connector 34 and the battery connection portion 16 of the reel body 10 are connected, for example, a nut member 37 around the connection connector 34. It is rotatably provided so as to surround it. The nut member 37 is provided with a bowl-shaped operation portion 371 at its upper end, and its lower end is rotatably supported by the intermediate portion of the connection connector 34.

  The nut member 37 is formed separately from the connection connector 34. With the connection connector 34 suspended from the battery connection portion 16 of the reel body 10, the operation portion 371 is rotated and the reel body 10 is rotated. When the screw is engaged with the screw of the base portion 17 of the battery connection portion 16 and is tightened, the lower end portion of the battery connection portion 16 is engaged with the intermediate portion of the connection connector 34, so that the side wall thereof is the cylindrical shape of the lid portion 312. The movement is guided along the portion 313 in the reel direction. Further, the nut member 37 further presses the connection connector 34 in the reel direction in conjunction with the movement in the reel direction, and is inserted into the battery connection portion 16 to be surely electrically connected. The screwing of the base portion 17 to the screw is completed, and the battery 30 is attached to the reel body 10.

  At this time, the connection member 34 is inserted inside the nut member 37, and the lower end portion of the nut member 37 is rotatably engaged with the intermediate portion of the connection connector 34, thereby preventing the nut member 37 from coming off from the case body 31. In this way, the case body 31 can be securely attached to the reel body 10 to prevent the case body 31 from being detached from the reel body 10. At the same time, the nut member 37 is screwed into the screw of the base part 17 so as to cover the periphery of the connection opening of the battery connection part 16 which is a connection part between the connection connector 34 and the battery connection part 16. Thus, the liquid-tight structure between the case body 31 and the connection connector 34 is maintained while being connected to a strong integrated structure, and water can be prevented from entering the reel body 10 from the battery connection portion 16. .

  When power is supplied to the battery connection portion 16 of the reel body 10 supplied with power through the connection connector 34 of the case body 31, a control unit (not shown) constituted by the microcomputer drives the spool. A drive motor (not shown) is driven to control the rotational speed of the spool 11 and the fishing line winding speed. At the same time, the control unit (not shown) controls the operation of the display unit 13.

  Here, in the battery 30, the power feeding unit side of the battery 30 having the connection connector 34 on the upper side is supported by the reel body 20 via the nut member 37, and the bottom side of the case body 31 is opened as a free end. It is attached to a so-called hanging structure. In the attached state to the reel body 10, the case body 31 is formed in a substantially polygonal column shape, one side of which is formed on the inclined surface 314, and the connection connector 34 is connected to the battery connection portion 34 of the reel body 10. By attaching and fixing the rotation stopper, the inclined surface 314 is positioned in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction (the rod axis direction) of the fishing rod 20 (the rotation stopper recess 34a on the connection connector 34 side and the battery connection portion 16 side). (The positional relationship between the engagement position of the rotation preventing projection 16a and the inclined surface 314), and the degree of freedom of the holding space of the finger 100 (index finger) to be held between the fishing rod 20 and the reel body 10 is increased. A finger placement space X to be secured is formed. By forming the finger placement space X, the finger 100 of the angler's hand can be inserted from the finger placement space X, and the left plate 101 and the fishing rod 20 can be gripped without the battery 30 being in the way. The degree of freedom of the form is increased, and a desired fishing operation such as an invitation operation or a fish take-in operation can be freely performed as desired.

  In this manner, when the case body 31 is suspended from the reel body 10, the angler places his finger of the left hand 100 on the finger placement space X between the left side plate portion 101 of the reel body 10 and the case body 31 of the battery 30. The rod 20 is moved to a desired position, and the fishing rod 20 is gripped together with the left side plate portion 101 of the reel body 10 to perform a rod operation.

Further, when the electric energy in the case main body 31 is consumed during fishing, the battery 30 is detached from the reel main body 10 by performing an operation substantially opposite to the above-described hanging operation, and then prepared and placed in advance. The reel can be used easily for a long time by replacing it with a new charged one. At this time, in the new battery 30 as well, the finger placement space X is similarly provided between the reel body 10 and the inclined surface of the reel body 10, so that the same easy gripping operation can be performed.

  As described above, the fishing reel feeding device includes the battery connecting portion 16 provided on the reel body 10 attached to the fishing rod 20, and the battery connecting portion 16 protruding from the case body 31 of the battery 30. The case body 31 is suspended from the reel body 10 in a state in which the connector 34 is non-rotatably mounted and electrically connected, and the outer shape of the case body 31 is between the fingers 100 of the hand that holds and holds the case body 31. The finger placement space X is formed in a shape that can be formed.

  According to this, when the connection connector 34 is connected to the battery connection portion 16 of the reel body 10 and is suspended from the battery 30, the finger is placed between the case body 31 and the finger 100 of the hand to be held and held. A holding space X is formed, and it is possible to grip the reel body 10 and the fishing rod 20 by using the finger placing space X, and the reel body 10 and the fishing rod 20 are not affected by the suspended battery 30. The degree of freedom of the holding form is increased, and a desired fishing operation such as an invitation operation or a fish take-in operation can be freely performed as desired.
