The mounting portion 42b is disposed through the first contact plate 43a, the through hole 11d, and the second contact plate 43b. Thus, the clutch operation member 11 is fixed to the mounting portion 42b.

<Spool drive mechanism>
The spool drive mechanism 13 drives the spool 10 in the yarn winding direction. Further, a drag force is generated on the spool 10 during winding to prevent the fishing line from being cut. As shown in FIG. 11, the spool drive mechanism 13 includes a motor 12, a first rotation transmission mechanism 24, and a second rotation transmission mechanism, which are prohibited from rotating in the yarn winding direction by a reverse rotation prevention unit in the form of a roller clutch (not shown). 25. The first rotation transmission mechanism 24 decelerates the rotation of the motor 12 and transmits it to the spool 10. The second rotation transmission mechanism 25 increases the rotation of the handle 2 through the first rotation transmission mechanism 24 and transmits it to the spool 10.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the first rotation transmission mechanism 24 has a planetary speed reduction mechanism (not shown) connected to the output shaft of the motor 12. An internal gear (not shown) is formed on the inner side surface of the case 26 of the planetary reduction mechanism, and the output of the internal gear is transmitted to the spool 10 by a first gear member 60 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the case 26. Specifically, the first rotation transmission mechanism 24 further includes a first gear member 60, a second gear member 61 that meshes with the first gear member 60, and a pinion gear 32 that meshes with the second gear member 61. As shown in FIG. 5, the second gear member 61 and the pinion gear 32 are disposed between the mechanism mounting plate 19b and the outer surface of the side plate body 19a. The second gear member 61 is an intermediate gear for transmitting the rotation of the first gear member 60 to the pinion gear 32 with the rotation direction aligned. The second gear member 61 is rotatably supported by the boss portion 19c of the side plate body 19a and the mechanism mounting plate 19b via a rolling bearing. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 11, a traverse cam shaft 63 is connected to the second gear member 61 so as to be integrally rotatable. A non-circular portion 63a is formed at the end of the traverse cam shaft 63 on the first side plate 7a side, and the second gear member 61 rotates the traverse cam shaft 63 by engaging with the non-circular portion 63a.

  The pinion gear 32 is attached to the second side plate 7b so as to be rotatable about the spool shaft 14 and movable in the axial direction by a third bearing 18c attached to the side plate body 19a. The pinion gear 32 is controlled by the clutch control mechanism 20 and moves on the outer peripheral side of the spool shaft 14 between the clutch-on position and the clutch-off position in the axial direction. The pinion gear 32 engages with the clutch yoke 41 and moves in the direction of the spool shaft 14.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 11, the second rotation transmission mechanism 25 includes a drive shaft 30, a drive gear 31, a third gear member 62, a drag mechanism 23, to which the handle 2 is connected so as to be integrally rotatable. have.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the drive shaft 30 is rotatably supported by the mechanism mounting plate 19b and the first boss portion 8c of the first side cover 8a. The drive shaft 30 is supported by the first boss portion 8c of the second side cover 8b by a roller-type one-way clutch 37. The drive shaft 30 is prohibited from rotating in the yarn feeding direction by the one-way clutch 37. The drive gear 31 is rotatably mounted on the drive shaft 30. The drive gear 31 is braked by the drag mechanism 23 for rotation in the yarn drawing direction. As a result, the rotation of the spool 10 in the yarn unwinding direction is braked.

  The third gear member 62 is provided to transmit the rotation of the handle 2 to the spool 10. The third gear member 62 is coupled to the carrier of the planetary reduction mechanism so as to be integrally rotatable. The third gear member 62 meshes with the drive gear 31 and transmits the rotation of the handle 2 to the carrier of the planetary reduction mechanism. The rotation transmitted to the carrier is transmitted to the pinion gear 32 via the first gear member 60 and the second gear member 61. The reduction ratio from the third gear member 62 to the second gear member 61 is generally “1”.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the drag mechanism 23 includes a drag plate 38 that is connected to the inner ring 37 a of the one-way clutch 37 so as to be integrally rotatable and is pressed by the inner ring 37 a. The drag plate 38 is coupled to the drive shaft 30 so as to be integrally rotatable. The drag plate 38 presses the drive gear 31 via the drag washer 39. The braking force of the drag mechanism 23 (the pressing force that presses the drag plate 38) is adjusted by the star drag 3 that is screwed onto the drive shaft 30.

<Adjustment member>
The adjustment member 5 is provided in the reel body 1 in order to adjust the output of the motor 12 in a plurality of stages (for example, 10 stages or more, in this embodiment, 31 stages). As shown in FIG. 2, the adjusting member 5 is provided between the side plate body 19a of the first side plate 7a and the first side cover 8a. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the adjustment member 5 is rotatably mounted on a support shaft 36 a erected on the outer surface of the rear portion of the case member 36 of the water depth display unit 4. The adjustment member 5 is disposed between the first side plate 7a and the first side cover 8a while being attached to the support shaft 36a.

  The support shaft 36a includes a proximal-side tapered surface 36b, a support surface 36c connected to the tapered surface 36b, and a member mounting portion 36d having a smaller diameter than the support surface 36c. Further, the support shaft 36a has a female screw hole 36e on the tip surface. Around the support shaft 36a, a pair of arc recesses 36f and a pair of engagement recesses 36g are formed on the outer surface of the case member 36 with an interval of 180 ° therebetween. The engagement portion 50 is configured by the arc recess 36f and the engagement recess 36g. The engaging recess 36g is formed in a spherical shape and is disposed adjacent to the arc recess 36f. The engaging recess 36g is provided corresponding to an operation start position where the adjustment member 5 stops the motor 12. The arc recess 36 f is formed by an arc concentric with the rotation center of the adjustment member 5, and is provided corresponding to the rotation angle of the adjustment member 5. In this embodiment, the rotation angle of the adjustment member 5 is, for example, in the range of 80 ° to 120 °. In this embodiment, the rotation angle is 100 °. However, the rotation angle of the adjustment member 5 is not limited to this. Between the engaging recess 36g and the arc recess 36f, a protruding portion 36i that protrudes from the engaging recess 36g and the arc recess 36f is formed.

  When the rotation angle of the adjusting member 5 is larger, the angle that can be allocated for each step of the output adjustment of the motor 12 becomes larger, so that the output adjustment operation can be performed stably at each step. However, if the rotation angle of the adjustment member 5 is too large, it is difficult to quickly perform operations in a plurality of stages. In addition, depending on the shape of the reel body, the rotation angle may not be increased. Among these constraints, it is preferable to set the rotation angle of the adjustment member 5 to the maximum angle.

  The adjustment member 5 is a generally annular member made of, for example, a synthetic resin. As shown in FIG. 6, the adjustment member 5 has an operation protrusion 5 a that protrudes in the radial direction on the outer peripheral surface. A large number of grooves 5b along the axial direction for preventing slippage are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the adjustment member 5 excluding the operation protrusions 5a at intervals in the circumferential direction. On the outer surface of the adjustment member 5, a restriction protrusion 5 c for restricting the rotation range of the adjustment member 5 is formed so as to protrude in the axial direction. The first side cover 8a has an opening 8e having a rectangular shape in plan view for allowing the adjustment member 5 to protrude from the first side cover 8a. The regulation protrusion 5c contacts the inner surface of the opening 8e and regulates the rotation range of the adjustment member 5.

  As shown in FIG. 12, on the inner surface of the adjustment member 5 facing the case member 36, a pair of detector accommodating portions 5d for accommodating the detector 34 and a pair for positioning the adjustment member 5 at the operation start position. And a pair of positioning accommodating portions 5e that accommodate the positioning portions 45 are formed at intervals in the circumferential direction. The pair of detector accommodating portions 5d and the pair of positioning accommodating portions 5e are formed to be recessed in a circle at intervals of 180 °.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the positioning unit 45 includes a pair of positioning pins 45 a that are movably attached to the pair of positioning housing portions 5 e and a pair of coils that bias the pair of positioning pins 45 a toward the case member 36. And a spring 45b. The coil spring 45b is an example of an urging member. The coil spring 45b is accommodated in the positioning accommodating portion 5e. The positioning pin 45a has a hemispherical head 45c, and the head 45c engages with the engaging recess 36g and the arc recess 36f. By providing the positioning portion 45, the adjustment member 5 can be reliably positioned at the operation start position. Further, since the protrusion 36i is formed between the engagement recess 36g and the arc recess 36f, the adjustment member 5 positioned at the operation start position is difficult to rotate from the adjustment start position against the intention of the user. . Thereby, the motor 12 becomes difficult to rotate unexpectedly.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the adjustment member 5 has a supported hole 5f that is rotatably supported by the support shaft 36a, a mounting hole 5g having a diameter larger than the supported hole 5f, and a mounting hole 5g. The countersink hole 5h having a larger diameter is formed from the inner surface toward the outer surface. The supported hole 5f has a tapered shape whose inner surface side is along the tapered surface 36b of the support shaft 36a. Between the mounting hole 5g and the member mounting portion 36d of the support shaft 36a, a rotation restricting member 46 that contacts both is mounted. The rotation restricting member 46 is configured by an annular elastic member such as an O-ring, for example. The rotation regulating member 46 regulates the rotation of the adjustment member 5. Thereby, the adjustment member 5 can be hold | maintained in the position where the angler operated the adjustment member 5. FIG. The rotation restricting member 46 and the adjusting member 5 are prevented from coming off by a washer member 47 disposed in the counterbore hole 5h. The washer member 47 is prevented by a fixing bolt 48 that is screwed into the female screw hole 36e of the support shaft 36a. Thereby, the adjustment member 5 is rotatably mounted on the case member 36. The counterbore 5h is covered with the first side cover 8a. Therefore, only the outer peripheral part of the adjustment member 5 protrudes from the opening 8e of the first side cover 8a, and the other part of the adjustment member 5 is covered by the first side cover 8a and the case member 36.

<Detector>
As shown in FIGS. 4, 6 and 12, the detector 34 is attached to the adjustment member 5. Specifically, as described above, it is fixed to the pair of detector accommodating portions 5d of the adjustment member 5 by appropriate fixing means such as adhesion. The detector 34 includes a first magnet 34a and a second magnet 34b that are separately fixed to the pair of detector accommodating portions 5d. The first magnet 34 a and the second magnet 34 b are each magnetized along the axial direction of the adjustment member 5. The second magnet 34b is magnetized in the opposite direction to the first magnet 34a. In this embodiment, the first magnet 34a is magnetized to the N pole on the side facing the case member 36, and the bottom surface side of the detector housing portion 5d is magnetized to the S pole. On the other hand, the second magnet is magnetized to the S pole on the side facing the case member 36, and the bottom surface side of the detector housing portion 5d is magnetized to the N pole. Thus, by arranging the first magnet 34a and the second magnet 34b that are magnetized in the axial direction so that the magnetic flux directions are reversed, the detector 34 that reacts in the same way as the magnet that is magnetized in the radial direction is made to axially magnetize. It can be obtained by the first magnet 34a and the second magnet 34b having simple magnetism.

<Phase detector>
As described above, the phase detection unit 35 is the hall element 35a mounted on the sub circuit board 74b disposed inside the case member 36 of the water depth display unit 4. As illustrated in FIG. 10, the hall element 35 a is arranged in accordance with the rotation center C of the adjustment member 5. By arranging the Hall element 35a in this way, the Hall element 35a can detect a change in the direction of magnetic flux generated by the first magnet 34a and the second magnet 34b. As a result, it is possible to detect the rotational phase of the adjusting member 5 by detecting the direction of the magnetic flux that changes as the adjusting member 5 rotates by using the Hall element 35a. As shown in FIG. 13, the Hall element 35 a has a detector 34, assuming that the N pole of the radially magnetized detector 34 is on the mark 35 b side displayed on the Hall element 35 a, for example, in a semicircular shape, at 0 °. When the angle is 0 °, the output voltage is minimized as shown in FIG. When the detector 34 rotates relative to the Hall element 35a counterclockwise from 0 °, the output voltage gradually increases. When the detector 34 approaches 360 °, the output voltage becomes maximum, and when it returns to 0 °, it returns to the minimum. . Thereby, the rotation phase of the adjusting member 5 can be detected by the Hall element 35a in the range from 0 ° to 360 °. However, in this embodiment, for example, the output voltage of the Hall element 35a is used in the range of about 50 ° to 150 °. However, the angular range of the output voltage of the Hall element 35a is not limited to this. For example, a range of 230 ° to 330 ° or the like can be appropriately selected according to the output characteristics of the Hall element.

<Control system>
As shown in FIG. 15, the electric reel 100 includes a reel control unit 70 that controls the motor 12 and the display 72. The reel control unit 70 is configured by a microcomputer including a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The reel control unit 70 is connected to a hall element 35 a as the phase detection unit 35, each switch of the switch operation unit 6, and a spool sensor 78. The reel controller 70 is connected to a display 72 as a control target, a motor drive circuit 76, a buzzer 80, and another input / output unit 82. The spool sensor 78 has a pair of reed switches that detect a magnet (not shown) attached to the spool 10. The pair of reed switches are arranged side by side in the rotation direction of the spool 10. In this embodiment, the pair of reed switches is provided on the spool support portion 17 of the reel body 1. The spool sensor 78 can detect the rotation speed (rotation position) and rotation direction of the spool 10. The motor drive circuit 76 drives the motor 12 by PWM (pulse width modulation). That is, the motor 12 is driven by changing the duty ratio. The buzzer 80 is housed inside the case member 36. The buzzer 80 rings when the device reaches the shelf position or reaches the seabed. The other input / output unit 82 includes, for example, a wireless communication unit. The wireless communication unit can bidirectionally communicate various data such as water depth data with an external display device.

<Operation of electric reel>
In the electric reel 100 configured as described above, when fishing, the angler pushes down, for example, the second operating portion 11b of the clutch operating member 11 with the thumb of the hand holding the fishing rod. As a result, the clutch mechanism 16 is switched from the clutch-on state to the clutch-off state, and the spool 10 is in a freely rotating state. Then, the fishing line is fed out by the weight of the device, and the device is lowered to the shelf position where the fish gather. At this time, when the summing operation is performed on the first flange portion 10b of the spool 10 with the tip of the thumb operated as a clutch, the thumb is extended from the second operation portion 11b toward the first operation portion 11a. Then, the first operation portion 11a has an inclined surface in which the height from the fishing rod mounting portion 7g gradually increases, and the height H1 of the first operation portion 11a is set according to the height of the first flange portion 10b. Therefore, the tip of the thumb easily reaches the first flange portion 10b. Thus, since the clutch operation member 11 has the 1st operation part 11a arrange | positioned at the height H1 corresponding to the 1st flange part 10b, it becomes easy to perform a summing operation.

  When a fish is hooked on the device and the fishing line is wound up, the third operating portion 11c of the clutch operating member 11 is pushed up with the tip of the thumb of the hand holding the fishing rod. At this time, since the third operation portion 11c is formed to be recessed, the fingertip is easily caught on the third operation portion 11c, and the clutch operation member 11 is easily pushed up. When the clutch operating member 11 is pushed up, the clutch mechanism 16 is switched to the clutch-on state, and the spool 10 can be rotated in the yarn winding direction by the handle 2 and the motor 12.

  When winding the fishing line with the motor 12, the adjusting member 5 is operated with a hand holding a fishing rod or a hand operating the handle 2. At this time, since the adjustment member is disposed between the first side plate 7a and the first side cover 8a, the clutch operation member 11 and the adjustment member 5 disposed at the rear portion of the reel body 1 are disposed close to each other. For this reason, the adjustment member 5 can be operated with the fingertip of the hand after the summing operation. For this reason, it becomes easy to operate the adjustment member 5 and the clutch operation member 11 in cooperation. In addition, when casting progresses and the amount of fishing line winding decreases, the summing operation can be performed via the second operation portion 11b, so that the summing operation during casting can be performed stably regardless of the amount of fishing line winding.

  When the adjustment member 5 is rotated, the detector 34 rotates together with the adjustment member 5, and the output voltage of the hall element 35 a of the phase detection unit 35 changes. The reel controller 70 controls the motor drive circuit 76 according to the change in the output voltage, and adjusts the output of the motor 12 according to the rotation position of the adjustment member 5. At this time, the rotational phase of the adjustment member 5 is detected without using a rotation detector such as a rotary encoder or a potentiometer. The increase in volume can be suppressed at a low cost.

  A first gear 160 is provided on the adjustment member 105 so as to be integrally rotatable. The first gear 160 meshes with a second gear 162 to which a potentiometer 135a is connected. The adjustment member 105 is a lever-shaped member, for example, and rotates within a predetermined angle range. The rotation of the adjustment member 105 is transmitted to the second gear 162 via the first gear 160, and the potentiometer 135 a detects the rotation position of the second gear 162 by the rotation of the second gear 162. Thereby, the rotation position of the adjustment member 105 can be detected. Here, the position of the adjustment member 105 and the position of the phase detector 135 can be shifted by the rotation transmission means including the first gear 160 and the second gear 162. Thereby, in addition to the effect of the embodiment, the phase detection unit 135 can be arranged in a compact manner, and the operability of the adjustment member 105 can be improved.

  (D) In the above embodiment, the present invention has been described by taking the electric reel in which the clutch operating member 11 is disposed between the first side plate 7a and the second side plate 7b as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the present invention can be applied to an electric reel in which a clutch operation member is disposed on the outer surface of the first side cover.

Further, the adjustment member 5 (or 105) is disposed behind the drive shaft 30 and above the spool shaft 14 and away from the fishing rod mounting portion 7g. Here, since the adjustment lever 5 (or 105) is provided between the side plate and the side cover, the opening facing the spool 10 is not narrowed. In addition, the clutch operating member 11 can be disposed near the adjusting member 5 (or 105) regardless of whether the clutch operating member 11 is disposed at the rear of the spool or the outer surface of the side cover. Thereby, it becomes easy to operate the adjustment member 5 (or 105) and the clutch operation member 11 in cooperation.

  (B) In the electric reel 100 (or 200), the reel body 1 has a case member 36 that can be attached to the frame 7, and further includes a water depth display section 4 that can display the water depth of the device that can be attached to the tip of the fishing line.

The side cover has a first side cover 8a that covers the outside of the first side plate 7a. The adjustment member 5 (or 105) is movably provided between the first side plate 7a and the first side cover 8a. In this case, since the adjusting member (or 105) is provided between the first side plate 7a on the handle 2 mounting side and the first side cover 8a, the clutch operating member 11 is connected to the first side plate 7a and the second side plate 7b. The clutch operating member 11 and the adjusting member 5 (or 105) can be operated with a hand opposite to the hand operating the handle 2, that is, a hand gripped by the reel together with the fishing rod. Further, when the clutch operation member 11 is disposed on the outer side surface of the first side cover 8a, the clutch operation member 11 and the adjustment member 5 (or 105) can be operated by a hand performing a handle operation.

  (D) In the electric reel 100 (or 200), at least a part of the adjustment member 5 (or 105) protrudes from the first side cover 8a. In this case, the adjustment member 5 (or 105) can be moved by pressing the portion of the adjustment member 5 (or 105) protruding from the first side cover 8a. For this reason, the movement operation of the adjustment member 5 (or 105) is easy.

  (E) In the electric reel 100 (or 200), the adjusting member 5 (or 105) is rotatably mounted on a support shaft 36a provided on the reel body 1. In this case, since the adjustment member 5 (or 105) rotates around the support shaft 36a, the operation of the adjustment member 5 (or 105) is easy.

  (F) The electric reel 100 further includes a positioning portion 45 for positioning the adjusting member 5 and an engaging portion 50 with which the positioning portion 45 is engaged. In this case, since the adjustment member 5 is positioned by the engagement between the positioning portion 45 and the engagement portion 50, the output of the motor can be accurately adjusted by the adjustment member 5. Moreover, since the adjustment member 5 is positioned, it becomes difficult to move from the position where the adjustment member 5 was adjusted.

  (G) In the electric reel 100, the positioning portion 45 is provided on one of the adjustment member 5 and the reel body 1. The engaging portion 50 is provided on the other of the adjustment member 5 and the reel body 1. In this case, since the positioning portion is provided on one of the adjustment member and the reel main body, and the engagement portion is provided on the other of the adjustment member and the reel main body, the configuration is facilitated, and the size can be reduced.

  (H) In the electric reel 100, the positioning unit 45 includes a positioning pin 45a provided on one of the adjustment member 5 and the reel body 1, and a coil spring 45b that biases the positioning pin 45a. The engaging portion 50 is provided on the other of the adjusting member 5 and the reel body 1 and has an engaging recess 36g that engages with the positioning pin 45a. Since the positioning pin 45a is engaged with the engaging recess 36g by the positioning pin 45a urged by the coil spring 45b and positioned, a click feeling is obtained when positioning, and the user recognizes that the positioning has been performed. Cheap.

  (I) In the electric reel 100, the positioning portion 45 is provided on the adjustment member 5, and the engaging portion 50 is provided on the reel body 1. In this case, since the positioning pin moves along the engaging recess according to the rotation of the adjustment member 5, it is possible to further obtain a click feeling.

  (J) In the electric reel 100, the positioning pin 45a engages with the engagement recess 36g at the operation start position of the adjustment member 5. In this case, since the engaging recess 36g is engaged at the adjustment start position of the adjustment member 5, the adjustment member 5 is difficult to rotate from the adjustment start position against the user's will.

  (K) In the electric reel 100, the positioning pin 45a is disposed adjacent to the engaging recess 36g so that a protrusion 36i is formed between the supporting shaft 36a and the engaging recess 36g. An arc recess 36f that can be engaged is further provided.

  (L) In the electric reel 100 (or 200), the support shaft 36a is provided on the case member 36. In this case, since the adjustment member 5 (or 105) is supported by the case member 36 on which the electrical component is mounted, the rotational phase of the adjustment member 5 (or 105) can be detected in the case member 36.

  (M) The electric reel 100 further includes a phase detector 35 (or 135) capable of detecting the rotational phase of the adjusting member 5 (or 105). In this case, the reel controller 70 can adjust the output of the motor 12 according to the rotational phase of the adjusting member 5 (or 105) detected by the phase detector 35 (or 135).

  (N) In the electric reel 100, the phase detector 35 is disposed in the case member 36. In this case, since the phase detection unit 35 is arranged in the case member 36, a space for arranging the phase detection unit 35 becomes unnecessary, and the electric reel 100 can be downsized.

  (O) In the electric reel 100, the adjustment member 5 has a detector 34 that is detected by the phase detector 35. In this case, the detector 34 is provided on the adjustment member 5 and the rotational phase of the adjustment member 5 is detected. Therefore, the rotational phase of the adjustment member 5 can be detected with a simple configuration.

  (P) In the electric reel 100, the detector 34 is a first magnet 34 a and a second magnet 34 b (an example of a magnet) provided on the adjustment member 5. The phase detector 35 is a Hall element 35a that can detect the rotational phases of the first magnet 34a and the second magnet 34b. In this case, since the rotation phase of the adjustment member 5 can be detected by the Hall element 35a that can be mounted on the sub circuit board 74a (an example of the circuit board), the rotation phase of the adjustment member 5 can be detected with a compact configuration.

  (Q) In the electric reel 200, the phase detection unit 135 is a potentiometer 135 a that can rotate in conjunction with the adjustment member 105. In this case, the rotational phase of the adjustment member can be detected with high resolution by the potentiometer 135a.
