Description

  The present invention relates to an electric reel for fishing.

  Conventionally, an electric reel for fishing is configured so that the fishing rod can be left on the hook attached to the ship's edge, from the release of the device to the winding, mainly to be applied to deep-sea fishing. Recently, a more compact configuration has been commercialized so that it can be operated by hand.

  On the other hand, it is known that an electric reel for fishing arranges operation members for winding up a spool at various positions. For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is known to arrange a lever type that can continuously change the motor output or a slide type that is arranged on the side plate of the reel body. It has been. Further, in Patent Document 2, a part of a disk-shaped rotary knob (operation member) is exposed from the upper surface of a control case, and the motor output is continuously varied by rotating while pressing the thumb from above. A configuration is disclosed.

  As described above, in recent electric fishing reels, as well as fishing (bait casting) reels used for lure fishing, a type that can be operated by hand is desired. There is room for improvement with respect to the operating member that is rotationally driven. Specifically, with the operation member of the type disclosed in Patent Document 1, the fishing line winding operation cannot be performed with one hand holding the reel body together with the fishing rod. In addition, although the operation member of the type disclosed in Patent Document 2 can be used to take up the fishing line with one hand, the operation unit is incorporated in the control case, so when placed on a swaying ship It is difficult to operate and may cause malfunction.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide an electric fishing reel that improves both operability in a handheld state and operability in a standing state. To do.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, an electric fishing reel according to the present invention is provided between left and right side plates of a reel body, a spool around which a fishing line is wound, a drive motor that rotationally drives the spool, A control case that is arranged on the reel unit and has a control unit for controlling the drive motor, and a thumb that is in a state of gripping and holding the reel unit together with a fishing rod, are arranged at a position where the hand can reach and adjust the output of the drive motor And a second operation member that is disposed on any of the left and right side plates and adjusts the output of the drive motor.

  In the electric fishing reel configured as described above, the first operation member for adjusting the output of the drive motor is disposed at a position where the thumb of the hand holding the reel body together with the fishing rod can be reached. In addition, the winding operation of the drive motor can be performed without a sense of incongruity. That is, the fishing line winding operation can be performed while holding the reel body with one hand. Further, when the reel body is placed in the saddle state, the fishing line can be wound up without being operated erroneously by operating the second operation member disposed at an easily operable position (one of the left and right side plates).

  The electric fishing reel 1 of this embodiment has a reel body 5 having left and right side plates 5A and 5B configured by attaching left and right covers 4a and 4b to left and right frames 3a and 3b. A manual handle 6 that is wound up is provided on one side plate (right side plate 5B) side of the reel body 5, and a spool 7 around which a fishing line is wound is provided between the left and right side plates 5A and 5B. Is rotatably supported. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, a drive motor 8 is held between the left and right side plates on the front side of the spool 7, and the spool 7 takes up and drives the manual handle 6. The motor 8 is rotationally driven in the fishing line winding direction via the power transmission mechanism 10 by the rotational drive of the motor 8.

  The drive motor 8 may be configured to be installed inside the spool 7. However, as shown in the present embodiment, the drive motor 8 is installed in front of the spool 7, and the reel is secured while securing the spool winding amount. The main body 5 can be made as compact as possible. The power transmission mechanism 10 has a function of decelerating and transmitting the rotational driving force of the drive motor 8 to the spool side, a function of not rotating the manual handle 6 even when the drive motor 8 is driven to rotate, It can be configured by a known device having a function of preventing reverse rotation. Further, such a power transmission mechanism 10 may be disposed on the left side plate 5A side, may be disposed on the right side plate 5B side, or is allocated to each of the left and right side plates. May be.

  A known level wind mechanism 12 having a function of winding the fishing line equally around the spool 7 is installed between the left and right side plates 5A and 5B in front of the spool 7. Further, a control case 15 having a control unit for controlling the drive motor 8 is disposed above the spool 7 between the left and right side plates 5A and 5B constituting the reel body (about the configuration of the control unit). Will be described later). The surface of the control case 15 is configured to be flush with the surfaces of the left and right side plates 5A and 5B.

  A known clutch mechanism 17 for switching the spool 7 between a fishing line winding state and a free rotation state is disposed in the reel body 5. The clutch mechanism 17 has a function of interposing / disconnecting power transmission from the manual handle 6 and the drive motor 8 by being interposed in the power transmission mechanism 10 described above. In this embodiment, the clutch mechanism 17 is installed on the right side plate 5B side. Yes. The clutch plate constituting the clutch mechanism 17 is engaged with a clutch OFF switching member 18 that switches power transmission from the ON state to the OFF state, and a clutch ON switching member 19 that switches power transmission from the OFF state to the ON state. .

  The clutch OFF switching member 18 in the present embodiment is configured to be bridged between the left and right side plates 5A and 5B on the rear side of the spool 7 so that the operation can be performed while summing the spool 7. FIG. The clutch mechanism 17 is configured to be switched from the ON state to the OFF state by pushing down from the state shown in FIG. Further, the clutch OFF switching member 18 is distributed and held between a clutch ON position shown in FIG. 5 and a clutch OFF position (not shown) pushed down therefrom by a distribution holding spring (not shown).

  Further, the clutch ON switching member 19 in the present embodiment is installed on the right side plate 5B side, and is distributed so as to be swingable between the clutch ON position and the clutch OFF position by a distribution holding spring (not shown). Is retained. In this case, the clutch ON switching member 19 is substantially flush with the surface of the right side plate 5B in the clutch ON state as shown in FIG. 5, and the right side plate 5B in the clutch OFF state. It is supported so as to be able to swing so that it can protrude from the surface and be pressed.

  The reel body 5 is provided with a power feeding unit 20 for supplying power to the drive motor 8. The power feeding unit 20 is formed in the lower surface area on the front side of the left side plate 5A. The power feeding unit 20 is attached with a detachable portable battery 22 (see FIG. 7) or attached to a fishing boat. A power supply cord supplied with power from an installed power supply unit is attached.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the control case 15 has a size that covers the level wind mechanism 12 and the drive motor 8 on the front side from the vicinity of the rotation shaft (spool shaft 7 a) above the spool 7. The first operating member 25 for adjusting the output of the drive motor 8 is disposed at the rear end portion.

Similarly to the first operation member 25, the second operation member 30 for adjusting the output of the drive motor 8 is provided on either the left or right side plate, preferably the right side plate 5B on the side where the manual handle 6 is mounted. Has been placed.
Hereinafter, the configuration of the first operating member 25 and the second operating member 30 in the present embodiment will be described in detail.

  When the reel body 5 is mounted on the fishing rod R via the reel leg mounting portion 5a, the first operating member 25 holds the reel body together with the fishing rod R as shown in FIG. It is disposed at a position where the thumb T can reach. Specifically, even when the surface of the fishing line S is wound around the spool 7, even if the surface is summed, the thumb abdomen can be brought into contact with the thumb while being summed. . Note that when the fishing line is fed out from the standard amount of spool (indicated by S2), the outer diameter of the wound fishing line gradually changes, but here, half of the amount of fishing line wound (50%; indicated by S1). ), The position can be operated while the summing operation is sufficiently performed.

  The first operating member 25 in the present embodiment is configured to be rotatable so that the operation can be easily performed while holding and holding the reel body 5, and more specifically, the first operating member 25 is configured in a substantially cylindrical shape and has an outer surface. The (rotating surface) is configured to face an opening region that exposes the spool between the left and right side plates. In other words, such a substantially cylindrical shape facilitates the operation while gripping and holding the reel body 5. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, when the abdomen of the thumb T is pressed against the abdomen, the stability becomes high and a reliable operation can be performed, and the contact area is large compared to a simple disk-shaped member. For this reason, gripping and holding properties are also enhanced.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the first operation member 25 having a substantially cylindrical shape is formed with a recessed portion 15 b that is recessed toward the front side in the central region of the rear end portion 15 a of the control case 15. 15b is rotatably supported. In this case, both ends of the rotation shaft 25 a of the first operation member 25 are supported on both axes with respect to the control case 15. As described above, the configuration in which the first operation member 25 is supported on both shafts can effectively prevent the yarn entanglement, and the first operation member 25 is provided on the left and right side plates 5A, By being located in the central region of 5B, the balance of the gripping position with respect to the center of gravity of the reel body 5 is improved, and it is possible to achieve a configuration that has good operability and is less fatigued. Note that the rotation shaft 25 a of the first operation member 25 may be supported so as to be rotatable with respect to the reel body 5. Further, the first operation member 25 may be supported (cantilevered) so as to be rotatable only on one side. Furthermore, a large number of concave grooves 25b are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the first operating member 25 along the circumferential direction, and are configured to be difficult to slip when rotated.

  Here, the substantially cylindrical shape in the first operating member is a concept including a solid inside as shown in FIG. As for the outer shape, as in this embodiment, it is not only an accurate cylindrical shape, but also formed with protrusions that can be unevenly formed around it, pinched with fingers, or applied. There may be. Alternatively, it may be anything that has an outer shape that allows the abdomen of the thumb to abut in the axial direction so that it can be rotated, such as the middle part in the axial direction bulges or is depressed (specifically these A detailed configuration example will be described later with reference to FIGS. 15 to 17).

In the present embodiment, a semi-cylindrical ridge is formed on a part of the surface of the control case 15 so as to be substantially flush with the surface shapes of both ends of the first operating member 25 (approximate each other's surface shape). A portion 15d is formed.
In this way, by approximating the surface shape of the control case at the portion facing the end portion of the first operating member 25 to the end shape of the first operating member, the thumb T as shown in FIGS. This part can be attached to this part, and another part of the thumb can be attached to the first operating member 25, so that it is possible to reliably perform the operation while stabilizing the gripping and holding without the thumb becoming painful. It becomes. In particular, as shown in these drawings, since the thumb T can be easily shifted to the counter-feeding portion side, the grip holding balance against the torsional load due to the force F applied to the feeding portion 20 is improved, and operability is improved. Can be improved and less fatigue.

  Note that the raised portion as described above may be formed on at least one end side in the axial direction of the first operating member 25 (preferably, only on the side opposite to the power feeding portion). Further, depending on the support mode of the first operating member 25, such raised portions that are flush with each other may be formed on the left and right side plates constituting the reel body 5. Alternatively, the control case 15 itself may be thickened to form a surface shape that approximates the surface shape of the first operating member 25 without forming such a raised portion.

  Further, in order to prevent the first operation member 25 from malfunctioning on the lower surface of the control case 15, it is preferable to form a malfunction prevention portion 15 e positioned between the first operation member and the spool 7. By forming such a malfunction prevention portion 15e, it is possible to prevent the first operation member 25 from malfunctioning due to seawater or dust adhering to the fishing line when the fishing line is wound up.

In the present embodiment, the rotation shaft 25 a of the substantially cylindrical first operating member 25 is installed so as to be substantially parallel to the rotation shaft 7 a of the spool 7.
As described above, the rotation shaft 25a of the substantially cylindrical first operation member 25 is substantially parallel (including parallel) to the rotation shaft 7a of the spool 7, so that the first operation is performed in a state where the reel body is held and held. Even if the member 25 is freely rotated, the position of the finger (thumb T) is not easily shifted in the lateral direction, and as shown by the arrows in FIG. It ’s hard to get tired. That is, if the position of the thumb T is greatly shifted to the side, the force applied to the center of gravity of the reel body and the power feeding unit 20 (as shown in the figure, since the power feeding unit 20 is provided on the side, the power cord is pulled. The torsional load caused by the rotational force around the longitudinal axis of the fishing rod R is reduced due to the applied force or the weight load of the portable battery, and the operability is reduced or the vehicle is easily fatigued.

  The second operating member 30 provided on the right side plate 5B side is exclusively a portion that is operated when placing the laying cage. In other words, when hand-held (bottoming, thread dangling, invitation, brushing, winding immediately after alignment), the first operation member 25 that is easy to use in the hand-held state is used, and when it is placed (so-called empty winding or device collection) In particular, the second operation member 30 that is easy to operate in the laying-down state can be used for winding up when it is not a big one, etc., so that the operability in each scene can be improved and the structure is less fatigued.

  Regarding the relationship between the first operation member 25 and the second operation member 30, the second operation member 30 is larger than the first operation member 25 and has a knob that can be picked with a finger. Is preferred. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), the second operating member 30 can be turned so as to have a knob so that the second operating member 30 can be operated. The member 30 is preferably configured to be larger than the first operation member 25. The size here is specified by the operation position of both members (the part that actually specifies the operation amount). In the first operation member 25, the operating diameter (L1) is the outer peripheral surface position where the operation amount is specified. In the second operating member 30, the operating diameter (L2) up to the tip of the lever portion 30a for which the operation amount is specified is obtained. That is, it is preferable to configure the first operating member 25 and the second operating member 30 so that L1 <L2.

  Thus, by reducing the size of the first operating member 25, the operating parts (operating diameter) required for shifting the drive motor are reduced, and the quick operation required when hand-held (removing the thread dandruff immediately after the bottom of the tackle, immediately after shaving) Thread dandruff removal, alignment when the lash is raised, and winding, etc.) are possible. On the other hand, by increasing the size of the second operation member 30, it becomes easy to pick it up with a finger even if it is placed on a swaying ship, and operations such as device collection can be performed smoothly.

  Further, in the configuration of the first operating member 25 and the second operating member 30 as described above, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the movable angle θ1 of the first operating member 25> the second operation. It is preferable to set the movable angle θ2 of the member. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the movable angle θ1 of the first operating member 25 is 160 °, and the movable angle θ2 of the second operating member is 120 °.

  According to such a configuration, even if the size (operation diameter) of the first operation member 25 is small, a sufficient movable range can be taken, and thus the speed of the drive motor can be prevented from rapidly increasing. Can do. Further, since the movable range becomes long, the speed can be easily finely adjusted as in the operation of the second operation member 30.

  The control case 15 houses a control unit (control board) that controls the drive of the drive motor 8, and the drive case of the drive motor 8 according to the operation amounts of the first operation member 25 and the second operation member 30. The output is adjusted. In this case, the control unit is set to increase the output of the drive motor 8 by rotating (turning) the first operating member 25 and the second operating member 30 forward. That is, when taking up the fishing line, the fishing line can be taken up by extending the summing thumb as it is and pushing up the first operation member 25, so that the operability is improved. It will be able to plan. Further, the second operation member 30 can be rotated in the same direction as the manual handle 6 is wound, and the fishing line can be wound up.

  In addition, although the relationship between the operation amount of each operation member 25 and 30 and the output of the drive motor 8 is arbitrary, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the reference position P1 of the first operation member 25 is a motor. As the output value 0, the motor output is set to Max when rotating forward by 160 °, and the reference position P2 of the second operating member 30 is set to the motor output value 0 and rotated 120 ° forward. The motor output is set to Max when the operation is performed.

  Next, the configuration of the control case 15 and the configuration of the control unit accommodated in the control case 15 will be described. The surface of the control case 15 is provided with a display unit (liquid crystal display unit) 16 for displaying the length of the fishing line fed out (line length information) and the like. Are provided with operation buttons 16a and 16b.

  FIG. 10 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a control unit that is accommodated in the control case 15 and controls the operation of the fishing electric reel having the above-described configuration.

  The control unit 100 accommodated in the control case 15 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 110 that controls the operation of the fishing electric reel, various programs for measuring the yarn length, and variably controlling the output of the drive motor, A control board (microcomputer) 120 on which a ROM (Read Only Memory) 111 storing setting information and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 112 as a temporary storage area is mounted is provided. Signals are transmitted / received to / from each operating element via the O port 115, and the operation is controlled.

  Specifically, between the control board 120 and the control board 120, according to the detection means which detects the operation amount of the said 1st operation member 25 and the 2nd operation member 30, specifically, the operation angle of the 1st operation member 25 The first angle sensor 130 that outputs the operation position signal, the second angle sensor 140 that outputs the operation position signal according to the operation angle of the second operation member 30, and the feed amount of the fishing line wound around the spool 7 are detected. Thread length measuring device 150, display control circuit 160 for displaying various information on the liquid crystal display unit 16 provided on the control case 15, operation buttons 16a and 16b provided on the control case 15, In addition, a signal is transmitted to and received from a motor drive circuit 170 that continuously increases or decreases the output of the drive motor 8 from a stopped state to a high output value. That is, the CPU 110 executes a predetermined program stored in the ROM 111 and supplies a control signal generated in accordance with the predetermined program to each of the operating elements described above via the I / O port 115. And the function of controlling the entire fishing electric reel.

  The ROM 111 includes various programs executed by the CPU 110 and data required for control processing (for example, a calculation program for measuring a yarn length based on a detection signal input from the yarn length measuring device 150, a first program, In order to display an image such as characters and numbers on the liquid crystal display unit 16, a variable control table for specifying the operation angle of the operation member 25 and the second operation member 30 and the duty ratio for changing the rotation speed of the drive motor 8 correspondingly. Image display data, etc.) are stored. The RAM 112 includes a work area, and has a function of temporarily storing processing procedures, data, and the like when the program is operating.

  The operation buttons 16a and 16b receive various types of information from the angler, such as depth information for stopping the input mechanism at a desired depth and output range setting information for changing the variable range of the output of the drive motor 8. .

  When the spool 7 is rotationally driven by fishing line unwinding / winding, for example, the thread length measuring device 150 determines the actual rotation amount and rotation direction by, for example, a magnet attached to the rotating portion and a magnetic sensor for detecting the magnet. Detect and generate a detection signal.

  The motor drive circuit 170 has a function of driving and controlling a drive motor 8 that rotationally drives the spool 7. Specifically, the motor drive circuit 170 variably controls the drive current energization time rate (duty ratio) for the drive motor based on, for example, a control signal (PWM signal; pulse width modulation signal) from the CPU 110 to drive the motor. The motor 8 is continuously increased or decreased from a stopped state (OFF state) to a high-speed rotation state (Max state). The CPU 110 determines the duty set for each angle based on the detection signal from the angle sensor that detects the actual operation amount from the initial position (OFF position) of the first operation member 25 and the second operation member 30. A control signal relating to the ratio is output.

  The display control circuit 160 is driven based on the control of the CPU 110, and for example, the current amount of fishing line feed, the time since the introduction of the device, the driving speed of the driving motor 8 ( It may also be displayed by an indicator), or it has a function of displaying various information to the angler, such as operation methods and messages.

  The angle sensors 130 and 140 only need to have a function of generating a signal corresponding to the operation angle of each operation member 25 and 30. For example, a change in resistance value corresponding to the operation amount of the operation member is output. It is possible to apply ones having various structures such as ones equipped with a potentiometer or ones equipped with an encoder that generates a pulse corresponding to the operation amount.

  Next, an operation processing procedure performed by the first operation member 25 and the second operation member 30 executed in the control unit 100 will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG.

  First, it is determined whether or not the first operating member 25 and the second operating member 30 are in the OFF position (step S1). This is because, for example, when the operation members 25 and 30 are positioned in a movable range where the drive motor is erroneously driven, the function as a safety function prevents the drive motor from being rotated when the power is turned on. Fulfill.

  If it is determined that the first operation member 25 and the second operation member 30 are in the OFF position (step S1; Yes), an operation signal is subsequently input from the first operation member 25 or the second operation member 30. (Step S2). This corresponds to input of detection signals from the angle sensors 130 and 140.

  If an operation signal is input from the first operation member 25 or the second operation member 30 (step S2; Yes), the operation member is turned on, and variable control of the motor is executed based on the operation of the operation member. (Step S3). In this state, if an operation signal is not input from the operation member in the OFF state (step S4; No), variable control of the motor is executed based on the operation of the operation member in the ON state as it is. (Step S5).

  It is determined whether or not the operation member in the ON state is always operated to be turned off (returned to the initial position) (step S6). If the operation member is not turned off, the operation in the OFF state is performed. The presence / absence of an operation signal from the member is detected (step S6; No, step S4). In this case, when an operation signal is input from the operation member in the OFF state, the operation member that has been in the ON state until then is turned OFF, and the operation member that has been operated is turned ON (Step S10; switching of the operation members) processing). Then, the motor is variably controlled by the operation with the operation member turned on (step S5). That is, since the control unit always preferentially processes the signal from the operation member operated later, there is no need to separately switch between both operation members, and the operation member can be changed smoothly. .

  Then, when the operating member in the ON state is returned to the OFF position by the angler's operation, the above process is repeated again (step S6; Yes).

  The above processing procedure is merely an example, and for example, the two operation members 25 and 30 may be controlled so that other operation members cannot be operated unless both are returned to the OFF position. Alternatively, as shown in the processing procedure of FIG. 12, before the operation member switching processing in step S10 of the processing procedure shown in FIG. If the rotation (turning) operation is not performed until the output value is exceeded, the motor switching process in step S10 may not be executed (step S8).

  In this way, during the switching process of the operating member, when the motor control by the operating member that has been operated so far is in a relatively high speed state, the drive speed of the drive motor may temporarily drop due to the switching process. In other words, the operation member switching process is executed with the motor driving speed being smooth.

  Further, it is preferable that the control unit 100 can control the variable range of the drive motor by the first operation member 25 and the variable range of the drive motor by the second operation member 30 to be different.

Such control will be described with reference to the graph of FIG.
FIG. 13 shows a method for controlling the drive motor 8 in the control unit 100, and is a graph showing the relationship between the duty ratio and the operation angle of each operation member 25, 30. In normal control, the control unit 100 continuously varies the output of the drive motor 8 from 0 within the operation range of the operation members 25 and 30, and when the operation is performed up to the maximum operation angle, the drive motor 8 Control is performed so that the range of the duty ratio for changing the rotation speed of the motor is continuously variable from 0% to 100% (or may be changed stepwise).

  However, as described above, since the first operating member 25 is located close to the summing spool and the operation diameter is small, there is a possibility that the motor speed may rapidly increase with a small operation amount. is there. Therefore, the first operating member 25 is variably controlled within a range where the duty ratio is less than 100% (in FIG. 13, it is set to 50%) even when the first operating member 25 is in the Max position. (The duty ratio is 0 to 50%).

  According to such motor control, for example, even when the first operation member 25 is operated with a fish caught in a hand-held state, the motor speed does not increase rapidly by mistake. It is possible to prevent troubles such as disconnection.

  Alternatively, for the first operating member 25, as shown in FIG. 14, the controller 100 continuously varies the output of the drive motor 8 from 0 within the operating range of the first operating member 25, and the same. The variable range of the drive motor 8 may be controlled to be changeable within the operation range. That is, in the normal mode, as shown in (a), when the operation member is operated from the initial position (operation angle 0 °) to the maximum operation angle (160 ° in the present embodiment), the drive motor Control is performed so that the range of the duty ratio in which the rotational speed of 8 is varied is varied continuously from 0% to 100% (may be a stepwise change). Then, for example, by operating an operation button provided on the control case 15 according to the preference of the angler, control is performed so that the range of the duty ratio is variable. That is, as shown in (B), (C), (D)..., The output of the drive motor 8 rapidly increases even if the operation angle is the same, by arbitrarily changing the duty ratio range. Can be prevented. As a result, when a fish is caught, it is possible to prevent the rotational speed of the drive motor 8 from abruptly increasing, and it is possible to prevent the mouth from being cut or the device from being cut.

  In FIGS. 13 and 14, the relationship between the rotation angle of each operation member 25 and 30 and the duty ratio is shown as a linear linear graph for easy understanding, but in practice, it is within the range of the operation angle. In this case, since the drive speed is controlled to be varied in a plurality of steps (for example, 0 to 30 steps) by a predetermined angle, the relationship between the two becomes nonlinear.

  FIGS. 15 to 17 show modifications of the first operation member, in which (a) in each figure is a plan view showing a control case portion, (b) in each figure is a sectional view of the operation member, and (C) in a figure is a side view of an operation member.

  As described above, when the first operating member is configured in a substantially cylindrical shape, the shape can be variously modified. Specifically, the rotation operation is possible, and the operation surface portion faces the opening exposing the spool between the left and right side plates and the control case, so that the thumb that is summing can be extended and contacted as it is. Any shape is acceptable. For example, the operation member 35 shown in FIG. 15 has a rotating shaft 35a supported on both shafts, and an intermediate portion of the operation member 35 is contracted by a curved surface, and is continuously recessed along the circumferential direction. A groove 35b is formed. In such a configuration, the abdomen of the thumb is easy to fit and slipping is difficult to occur. Alternatively, the operation member 45 shown in FIG. 16 has a rotating shaft 45a supported on both shafts, and has an intermediate portion bulged by a curved surface and continuously around the circumference in the circumferential direction. A protrusion 45b is formed. In such a configuration, the abdomen of the thumb is easily hooked, and it is difficult to slip and the operability can be improved. Alternatively, the operation member 55 shown in FIG. 17 has a rotating shaft 55a supported on both shafts, and a lever portion 55b is formed on a part of a cylindrical surface. In such a configuration, the position where the initial value (the output of the drive motor is 0) can be clarified, and the lever portion 55b can be picked and operated even on a swaying ship at the time of laying down. Can be improved.

  Note that the operating diameter (L1) of each operating member is configured to be smaller than the operating diameter (L2) up to the tip of the lever portion 30a of the second operating member 30 as in the above-described embodiment. .

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the embodiments described below, the same parts as those in the above-described embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.
18A and 18B are views showing a second embodiment of the electric reel for fishing according to the present invention, in which FIG. 18A is a plan view, FIG. 18B is a view of the first operating member as viewed from the rear side, and FIG. ) Is a view of the second operating member as seen from the handle side.

Also in such a configuration, the size of the first operating member 65 (defined by the height L1) is set smaller than the size of the second operating member 70 (defined by the height L2). The operability of both members is improved. That is, if the first operation member 65 is too large, the operation is hindered when the reel body 5 is gripped for hand-held operation. Therefore, the first operation member 65 may be set smaller than the second operation member 70. preferable.
