Description

  The present invention relates to a fishing reel, and more particularly to a spinning reel capable of paying out fishing line forward.

2. Description of the Related Art In a spinning reel that performs a drag operation by braking a rotor, there is known a technique of preventing a handle from rotating in a direction opposite to a line winding direction due to rotation of the rotor in a line payout direction (for example, see Patent Document 1). ).
The spinning reel disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a clutch mechanism for connecting and disconnecting a pinion gear and a rotor, and a braking operation member for adjusting a frictional force of the clutch mechanism by engaging the clutch mechanism. The braking operation member can switch the clutch mechanism between an ON state for transmitting rotation and an OFF state for interrupting rotation, and can adjust the frictional state of the clutch mechanism in the engaged state. The pinion gear is allowed to rotate only in the line winding direction.

  In the spinning reel of Patent Document 1, rotation of the pinion gear in a direction opposite to the line winding direction is prohibited. For this reason, even if the rotor rotates in the line feeding direction, the handle does not rotate in the direction opposite to the line winding direction.

Japanese Patent No. 3585318

  An object of the present invention is to improve the allowable torque of a clutch mechanism in a spinning reel including a rotor braking mechanism that brakes a rotor according to operation of a braking operation member when the clutch mechanism is on.

  A spinning reel according to the present invention is a reel that pays out fishing line forward. The spinning reel includes a reel body, a handle, a spool, a rotor, a pinion gear, a braking operation member, a rotor braking mechanism, a clutch switching member, a clutch mechanism, and a clutch control mechanism. The reel body has a rod mounting portion. The handle is rotatably provided on a side of the reel body. The spool is supported by the reel body so as to be movable in the front-rear direction. The rotor is rotatable with respect to the reel body, and is configured to wind a fishing line around a spool. The rotational force of the handle is transmitted to the pinion gear. The braking operation member is movably provided on the reel body. The rotor braking mechanism brakes the rotor according to the operation of the braking operation member. The clutch switching member is movably provided on the reel body. The clutch mechanism can be switched by a clutch switching member between an on state in which the rotation of the handle is transmitted to the rotor and an off state in which the rotation is not transmitted. The clutch control mechanism controls the clutch mechanism between an on state and an off state according to the movement of the clutch switching member. The clutch mechanism includes a first engagement portion rotatable integrally with the pinion gear, and a second engagement provided on the rotor and engaged with the first engagement portion to connect the pinion gear and the rotor so as to be integrally rotatable. And a part. The first engagement portion engages with the second engagement portion when in the on state, and separates from the second engagement portion when in the off state.

  In this spinning reel, when the clutch mechanism is in the on state, the first engagement portion engages with the second engagement portion, so that the pinion gear and the rotor are integrally rotatably connected. Thereby, in the spinning reel including the rotor braking mechanism that brakes the rotor in accordance with the operation of the braking operation member, the allowable torque of the clutch mechanism when the clutch mechanism is on can be improved.

  The spinning reel may further include a reverse rotation inhibiting mechanism that inhibits rotation of the pinion gear in a direction opposite to the line winding direction. According to this configuration, rotation of the steering wheel in the reverse direction can be prohibited regardless of the ON state and the OFF state of the clutch mechanism.

  The rotor may have a disk-shaped wall portion rotatable with respect to the reel body, and a mounting portion including a cylindrical portion integrally formed on the outer peripheral side of the wall portion. The braking member of the rotor braking mechanism is disposed so as to face the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion, and is pressed toward the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion by the braking operation member. The rotor braking mechanism further includes an annular first braking shoe provided on the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder so as to be able to contact the outer peripheral surface of the braking member.

  According to this configuration, when the brake operating member is operated when the rotor rotates in the line pay-out direction, the braking member is pressed toward the inner peripheral surface of the tubular portion and frictionally engages with the first braking shoe. At this time, by adjusting the operation force applied to the braking operation member, the braking force against the rotation of the rotor in the line feeding direction can be adjusted.

  The braking member may include a drum member and a first urging member. The drum member is mounted on the moving member so as to be movable in a radial direction between a third position and a fourth position radially outward from the third position, and is pressed by the braking operation member, and the first braking shoe is provided. Can be contacted. The first urging member urges the drum member from the fourth position to the third position and holds the drum member at the third position.

  According to this configuration, when the drum member is pressed toward the first braking shoe by the braking operation member, the drum member moves from the third position to the fourth position. Thus, the outer peripheral surface of the drum member presses the first braking shoe, and the drum member brakes the rotor. When the pressing by the braking operation member is released, the drum member returns to the third position by the first biasing member and is held at the third position. Here, the drum member that has moved to the fourth position is held at the third position by the first urging member when the braking operation is completed. Therefore, the configuration for moving the drum member is simplified.

  The braking member may further include a radial rolling bearing disposed between the braking operation member and the drum member. According to this configuration, when braking the rotor, the braking operation member presses the inner ring of the radial rolling bearing, so that no rotational force acts on the braking operation member. For this reason, the bending rigidity in the circumferential direction of the braking operation member can be reduced, and the weight of the braking operation member can be reduced.

  The moving member may include a first moving member and a second moving member. The first moving member is a cylindrical member connected to the pinion gear so as to be integrally rotatable and not to move in the axial direction. The second moving member is a disk-shaped member connected to the first moving member so as to be integrally rotatable and movable in the axial direction, and to which the drum member is attached so as to be movable in the radial direction. According to this configuration, when the clutch mechanism is in the ON state, the rotation of the pinion gear is transmitted to the rotor and the drum member via the first moving member and the second moving member. When the clutch mechanism is in the off state, the rotation is not transmitted to the handle even if the rotor rotates in the line feeding direction.

  The rotor braking mechanism may include a rotation restricting unit that restricts the rotation of the rotor in the line reel-out direction when the clutch mechanism is on. According to this configuration, when the clutch mechanism is on, the rotation restricting portion can restrict the rotation of the rotor in the line payout direction even if a fish catches on the tackle. For this reason, a useless yarn feeding operation due to the rotation of the rotor hardly occurs.

  The rotation restricting section may brake the rotation of the rotor in the line payout direction with a predetermined braking force. According to this configuration, when the clutch mechanism is in the ON state, the rotation of the rotor in the line payout direction can be braked by the predetermined braking force.

  The rotation restricting section may include a plurality of disk members provided between the moving member and the drum member. According to this configuration, the rotation of the rotor in the line pay-out direction can be braked when the clutch mechanism is in the ON state due to friction between the disk members.

  The first engagement portion may be provided on any one of the plurality of disk members. The second engagement portion may be provided on the wall. According to this configuration, since the clutch mechanism and the rotation restricting unit are shared, the configurations of the clutch mechanism and the rotation restricting unit are simplified.

  The clutch control mechanism may include a cam receiving section, a clutch cam, a pressing member, and a second biasing member. The cam receiving portion has a first cam portion and is provided on the reel body. The clutch cam has a second cam portion that engages with the first cam portion. The engagement between the first cam portion and the second cam portion causes the pinion to move relative to the reel body in accordance with the movement of the clutch switching member. The movable member is rotatable about the axis of the gear and moves in the axial direction, and presses the moving member from the second position toward the first position. The second biasing member biases the moving member from the first position toward the second position. The clutch mechanism may be turned on when the moving member is disposed at the second position, and may be turned off when the moving member is disposed at the first position.

  According to this configuration, the clutch mechanism can be switched by moving the moving member between the first position and the second position by moving the clutch switching member. Further, even when the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion cannot be engaged with each other when the moving member is pressed by the clutch cam, if the first and second engaging portions are relatively rotated, the second urging member allows the two members to rotate. And the clutch mechanism can be turned on.

  The braking operation member is swingably mounted on the reel body, is positioned at a fifth position and a sixth position farther from the rod mounting portion than the fifth position, and is a direction approaching the rod mounting portion from the fifth position. And may return to the fifth position when the operation is completed. The clutch switching member may be connected to the braking operation member and the clutch cam such that when the braking operation member moves from the fifth position to the sixth position, the moving member moves from the second position to the first position. According to this configuration, since the clutch switching member can be operated by the braking operation member, the clutch operation is easy.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, in the spinning reel provided with the rotor braking mechanism which brakes a rotor according to operation of a braking operation member, the tolerable torque of a clutch mechanism when a clutch mechanism is in an ON state can be aimed at.

The mounting portion 48 has a first arm portion 48d and a second arm portion 48e extending forward from a rear portion of the cylindrical portion 48b. The first arm portion 48d and the second arm portion 48e are provided opposite to each other in a circumferentially opposite position on the rear portion of the cylindrical portion 48b. A boss 48f having a through hole 48g is formed at the center of the wall 48a. The spool shaft 17 and a pinion gear 46 to be described later pass through the through hole 48g. A bail arm 49 is swingably provided at the tip of the first arm 48d and the tip of the second arm 48e. The fishing line is guided to the spool 16 by the bail arm 49.

<Configuration of first rotation transmission mechanism>
The first rotation transmission mechanism 20 includes a drive shaft 42 to which the handle 14 is fixed so as to be integrally rotatable, a drive gear 44, and a pinion gear 46 that meshes with the drive gear 44. The drive shaft 42 is disposed along the left-right direction that is different from the front-rear direction, and the handle 14 is connected to be integrally rotatable. The drive shaft 42 is rotatably supported by the reel body 12b and the lid member. The drive gear 44 is provided so as to be integrally rotatable with the drive shaft 42.

  The pinion gear 46 is formed in a cylindrical shape. The pinion gear 46 is rotatably supported on the reel body 12b by bearings 23a and 23b at an intermediate portion and a rear portion. As shown in FIG. 2, a male screw part 46 b and a first non-circular part 46 c are formed in a front part 46 a of the pinion gear 46. A cylindrical nut 25 for preventing the rotor 18 from coming off is screwed into the male screw portion 46b. The first non-circular portion 46c has a pair of parallel chamfered portions 46d (see FIG. 3) which are integrally rotatably engaged with the braking member 50. The nut 25 rotatably supports the rotor 18 and supports the spool shaft 17. The rear portion 46e of the pinion gear 46 has a tooth portion 46f that meshes with the drive gear 44. A bearing 27 and a bearing 29 that rotatably support the rotor 18 are provided on an outer peripheral portion of the nut 25. A bearing 31 for securing a gap between the spool shaft 17 and the pinion gear 46 is mounted on the inner peripheral portion of the nut 25.

<Structure of brake lever>
As shown in FIG. 1, the braking lever 22 swings around the second axis Y by the support shaft 33 attached to the leg 12 c of the reel body 12 in the second axis Y direction which is different from the first axis X. It is movably supported. The brake lever 22 is urged by the spring member 35 in a direction away from the rod mounting portion 12a.

  The brake lever 22 swings freely between a predetermined braking position shown by a dashed line in FIG. 1 and a brake release position shown by a two-dot chain line closer to the rod mounting portion 12a than the brake release position shown by a solid line. 12 is attached. The braking release position is an example of a fifth position, and the predetermined braking position is an example of a sixth position. The brake lever 22 is normally positioned by the mechanisms of the spring member 35 and the rotation restricting portion 52 at one of a brake release position shown by a solid line in FIG. 1 and a predetermined brake position shown by a dashed line.

  The braking lever 22 has an operation part 22a, a lever mounting part 22b, and a braking action part 22c. The operation unit 22a is configured so that the angler brakes the brake lever 22. The lever mounting part 22b is supported by the mounting groove 12e of the leg part 12c by the support shaft 33 so as to be swingable about the second axis Y. The braking action portion 22c extends from the lever mounting portion 22b and moves the braking member 50 toward the first braking shoe 51.

  The operation unit 22a is, for example, a member made of an aluminum alloy, and is manufactured by forging. The operation part 22a is detachably connected to the lever mounting part 22b. The operating portion 22a extends forward from the portion connected to the lever mounting portion 22b to near the outside of the bail arm 49 along the rod mounting portion 12a, and then branches off radially outward and forward to further extend. The distal end branched outward in the direction has a shape curved forward. A portion having a shape curved forward of the operation unit 22a is the pull-in operation unit 22d. The retraction operation unit 22d is used, for example, when the retraction operation is performed with the index finger of a hand (for example, a left hand) holding a fishing rod to brake the rotor 18 according to the operation force. When the pull-in operation section 22d is pulled in, the clutch mechanism 28 switches from the off state to the on state.

  Further, a portion extending forward from the lever attachment portion 22b is a first push operation portion 22e, and a portion connected to the lever attachment portion 22b is a second push operation portion 22f. The first push-in operation portion 22e and the second push-in operation portion 22f are used to operate the rotation restricting portion 52. The first push-in operation unit 17e is used when the push-in operation is performed with the index finger of the hand holding the fishing rod. The second pushing operation section 22f is used when pushing with the middle finger of the hand holding the fishing rod. When the first push operation unit 22e and the second push operation unit 22f are pushed, the clutch mechanism 28 switches from the on state to the off state.

  The lever mounting portion 22b and the braking action portion 22c are, for example, plate members made of a stainless alloy and formed integrally by being curved in a C-shape. A support shaft 33 supported on both ends of the leg portion 12c is fitted into the lever mounting portion 22b, and the brake lever 22 swings around the second axis Y.

  The distal end of the braking action portion 22c is disposed to face an inner peripheral side of a radial rolling bearing 60 (described later) constituting the braking member 50. A substantially oval locking hole 22g with which the tip of the clutch switching member 26 is engaged is formed in the braking action portion 22c. When the brake lever 22 is not operated, it is biased by the spring member 35 and is arranged at the brake release position as shown by a solid line in FIG. The brake lever 22 is also used to perform an operation of switching between a brake release state and a predetermined brake state. In the brake release state, the clutch mechanism 28 is turned off. In the predetermined braking state, the clutch mechanism 28 is turned on.

<Structure of rotor braking mechanism>
As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 4, and 5, the rotor braking mechanism 24 includes a braking member 50, an annular first braking shoe 51, and a rotation restricting section 52. The braking member 50 is disposed to face the inner peripheral surface 48c of the cylindrical portion 48b. The braking member 50 is connected to the pinion gear 46 so as to be integrally rotatable. The braking member 50 includes a bottomed cylindrical member that is pressed by the braking lever 22 toward the inner peripheral surface 48c of the cylindrical portion 48b. The braking member 50 includes a moving member 54, a drum member 56, a first urging member 58, and a radial rolling bearing 60.

  The moving member 54 can rotate integrally with the pinion gear 46 and can move back and forth between a first position shown in FIG. 2 and a second position shown in FIG. 3 ahead of the first position. The moving member 54 has a first moving member 62 and a second moving member 64. The first moving member 62 is a cylindrical member connected to the pinion gear 46 so as to be integrally rotatable and not to move in the axial direction. The first moving member 62 has a non-circular hole 62a on the inner peripheral surface that is integrally rotatably engaged with the first non-circular portion 46c of the pinion gear. The first moving member 62 has, on its outer peripheral surface, a second non-circular portion 62b to which the second moving member 64 and the reverse rotation inhibiting mechanism 34 are integrally rotatably connected, and a large-diameter flange portion 62c.

  The second moving member 64 is connected to the first moving member 62 so as to be integrally rotatable and movable in the axial direction. The second moving member 64 is a disk-shaped member to which the drum member 56 is movably connected in the radial direction. The second moving member 64 is integrally formed in a stepped disk shape on the outer peripheral portion of the connecting cylindrical portion 64a and the connecting cylindrical portion 64a which is connected to the first moving member 62 so as to be integrally rotatable and movable in the axial direction. And a mounting portion 64b to which the member 56 and the rotation restricting portion 52 are mounted. The outer peripheral portion of the mounting portion 64b has a flange portion 64c disposed forward of the connecting tubular portion 64a, and a tubular portion 64d having a smaller diameter than the flange portion 64c. The rotation restricting portion 52 is mounted on the cylindrical portion 64d. An annular spring hook projection 64e is formed on the inner peripheral side of the mounting portion 64b.

  The drum member 56 is connected to the moving member 54 so as to be movable in the radial direction between a third position indicated by a solid line in FIG. 2 and a fourth position indicated by a broken line radially outward from the third position. . The drum member 56 is, for example, a bottomed cylindrical member made of an aluminum alloy. The drum member 56 is pressed by the brake lever 22 and can contact the first brake shoe 51 at the fourth position. The drum member 56 has a first tubular portion 56a, a second tubular portion 56b, a bottom surface 56c, and a spring holding portion 56d. The first cylinder portion 56a can contact the first brake shoe 51. The second cylindrical portion 56b has a smaller diameter than the first cylindrical portion 56a, and is provided for accommodating the radial rolling bearing 60. The bottom surface 56c is configured to attach the drum member 56 to the attachment portion 64b of the second moving member 64 so as to be integrally rotatable. The spring holding portion 56d is formed to be recessed rearward on the inner peripheral portion of the drum member 56.

  As shown in FIG. 6, a mounting hole 56e for mounting the drum member 56 and the rotation restricting portion 52 to the mounting portion 64b is formed in the bottom surface 56c. A projecting portion 66e of a third disk member 66c to be described later penetrates the mounting hole 56e. The inner diameter of the mounting hole 56e is larger than the outer diameter of the protrusion 66e. In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the mounting hole 56e is 1.4 to 1.6 times the outer diameter of the protrusion 66e. As a result, the drum member 56 is pressed by the brake lever 22 and can move between the third position and the fourth position.

  The drum member 56 has a rotation balance adjusting portion 57 that is heavier than other portions at at least one position in the circumferential direction. The rotation balance adjusting section 57 is a metal member having a specific gravity greater than that of aluminum, such as a stainless steel alloy or lead. The rotation balance adjusting section 57 is provided to transmit the rotation of the handle 14 in the line winding direction to the rotor when the clutch mechanism 28 is in the off state.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the first biasing member 58 is configured by bending a spring wire. The first urging member 58 has a first arc portion 58a, a second arc portion 58b, and a spring portion 58c. The first arc portion 58a is held by a spring holding portion 56d of the drum member 56. The second arc portion 58b is arranged on the inner peripheral side of the first arc portion 58a, and is held by a spring hook projection 64e of the second moving member 64. The spring portion 58c connects the first arc portion 58a and the second arc portion 58b diagonally so as to intersect the radial direction. Specifically, it is formed by a fold line that is connected from the end of the first arc portion 58a to the second arc portion 58b. When the drum member 56 moves radially outward due to centrifugal force, the spring portion 58c is deformed.

  The radial rolling bearing 60 is disposed between the braking lever 22 and the drum member 56. The radial rolling bearing 60 is disposed on the inner peripheral surface of the first cylindrical portion 56a of the drum member 56. The radial rolling bearing 60 is provided so as not to apply a rotational force of the braking member 50 in the line feeding direction to the braking action portion 22c of the braking lever 22. The axial movement of the radial rolling bearing 60 is regulated by, for example, a retaining ring 73.

  The first annular braking shoe 51 is fixed to the inner peripheral surface 48c of the cylindrical portion 48b so as to be able to contact the outer peripheral surface 50a of the braking member 50. The first brake shoe 51 is an annular member made of synthetic resin such as polyacetal. At least one of the inner peripheral surface of the first braking shoe 51 and the outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical portion 56a of the drum member 56 is subjected to a process of increasing the friction coefficient. For example, treatments such as surface coating using characteristics of polyurethane and polytetrafluoroethylene, and application of an adhesive tape having a high coefficient of friction are performed. Further, at least one of the drum member 56 and the first braking shoe 51 may be made of a wear-resistant alloy having a high friction coefficient.

  The rotation restricting section 52 restricts the rotation of the rotor 18 in the line feeding direction when the clutch mechanism 28 is in the ON state. In the present embodiment, a predetermined braking force is applied to the rotation of the rotor 18 in the line payout direction. The rotation restricting portion 52 includes a plurality (for example, three) of first metal members 66a, second disk members 66b, and third disk members 66c, for example, made of metal, which are mounted on the cylindrical portion 64d. The rotation restricting portion 52 has a plurality of (for example, two) first drag disks 67a and second drag disks 67b made of felt or carbon, for example. The first drag disk 67a is disposed between the first disk member 66a and the second disk member 66b. The second drag disk 67b is disposed between the second disk member 66b and the third disk member 66c. The second disk member 66b is formed in a flat bottomed cylindrical shape. Therefore, the cross section is formed in a flat U shape. The third disk member 66c has a smaller inner diameter than the first disk member 66a and the second disk member 66b.

  A plurality (for example, three) of protrusions 66e having through holes 66d are formed on the inner periphery of the third disk member 66c at intervals in the circumferential direction. The mounting bolt 36 for mounting the drum member 56 and the rotation restricting portion 52 to the mounting portion 64b passes through the through hole 66d. The protruding portion 66e is formed so as to protrude into a cylindrical shape by press working. The protrusion length of the protrusion 66e is longer than the thickness of the bottom surface 56c of the drum member 56. Thereby, the drum member 56 is mounted on the mounting portion 64b so as to be movable in the radial direction. The mounting bolt 36 is screwed into the mounting portion 64b of the second moving member 64. The mounting bolt 36 presses the third disk member 66c toward the first disk member 66a via the protrusion 66e. By adjusting the tightening force of the mounting bolt 36, the predetermined braking force of the rotation restricting portion 52 can be adjusted.

<Configuration of clutch switching member>
4 and 5, the clutch switching member 26 switches the clutch mechanism 28 between the on state and the off state in conjunction with the braking lever 22. The clutch switching member 26 is swingably supported by a swing support portion 38 provided on the front surface of the reel body 12b. The clutch switching member 26 is held by a toggle spring 40 at a clutch-on position shown in FIG. 4 and a clutch-on position shown in FIG. Further, the toggle spring 40 holds the brake lever 22 via the clutch switching member 26 at a predetermined braking position indicated by a chain line in FIG. 1 and a brake release position indicated by a solid line. The clutch switching member 26 is a plate-like member that is disposed in a C-shape in the cylindrical portion 48 b of the rotor 18. The clutch switching member 26 is swingably mounted on a swing shaft 45 fixed to the swing support portion 38. The proximal end 26a of the clutch switching member 26 is locked in the locking hole 22g. The clutch switching member 26 is disposed at the clutch off position when the brake lever 22 is operated to the braking release position, and is operated at the predetermined braking position. Then, it is arranged at the clutch-on position. A toggle spring 40 is attached to the curved tip 26b of the clutch switching member 26. In the clutch switching member 26, a connection slit 26c with which a connection member 74d of a clutch cam 74 described later is engaged is formed at a tip end 26b on a radially inner side.

<Configuration of clutch mechanism>
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the clutch mechanism 28 has a first engagement portion 68 and a second engagement portion 70 that is integrally rotatably engaged with the first engagement portion 68. The first engagement portion 68 and the second engagement portion 70 are formed in sawtooth shapes in opposite directions. The first engaging portion 68 is formed on one of the disk members of the rotation restricting portion 52. In the present embodiment, it is formed at the end of the second disk member 66b. The second engaging portion 70 is formed at an end of an annular member 71 mounted on a rear surface of the wall portion 48a of the rotor 18. When the clutch mechanism 28 is in the ON state, the first engagement portion 68 and the second engagement portion 70 engage. When the clutch mechanism 28 is in the off state, the first engagement portion 68 and the second engagement portion 70 are separated from each other. The clutch mechanism 28 switches between an on state and an off state when the moving member 54 approaches and separates from the wall 48a.

<Configuration of clutch control mechanism>
The clutch control mechanism 30 includes a cam receiving portion 72 having a cam groove 72a on an outer peripheral surface, a clutch cam 74 having a cam pin 74a engaged with the cam groove 72a, and a second biasing member 76. The cam receiving portion 72 is a tubular member provided on the reel body 12 and in which the reverse rotation inhibiting mechanism 34 is housed. The cam receiving portion 72 has a detent arm 72b extending to the pivot shaft 45 of the clutch switching member 26, and is stopped by the pivot shaft 45. The cam groove 72a is an example of a first cam portion. The cam groove 72a is formed obliquely on the outer peripheral surface of the cam receiving portion 72 so as to intersect in the circumferential direction and the axial direction.

  The clutch cam 74 is connected to the cam receiving portion 72 so as to be rotatable and movable in the axial direction. The clutch cam 74 has a cam cylinder 74b having a cam pin 74a formed on the inner peripheral surface, and a pressing portion 74c integrally formed in a dish shape on the outer peripheral surface of the cam cylinder 74b. The cam pin 74a is an example of a second cam portion. On the rear end face of the cam cylinder 74b, for example, a pin-shaped connecting member 74d (see FIGS. 4 and 5) connected to the clutch switching member 26 is provided. The pressing portion 74c is rotatable around the axis of the pinion gear 46 with respect to the cam receiving portion 72. The clutch cam 74 is rotated by a predetermined amount by the engagement between the connecting member 74d and the connecting slit 26c according to the swing of the clutch switching member 26 between the clutch on position and the clutch off position. Thus, the pressing portion 74c presses the moving member 54 from the first position (see FIG. 2) toward the second position (see FIG. 3).

  The second urging member 76 urges the second moving member 64 of the moving member 54 from the second position to the first position. The clutch mechanism 28 is turned on when the moving member 54 is disposed at the second position, and is turned off when the moving member 54 is disposed at the first position.

<Configuration of second rotation transmission mechanism>
As described above, the second rotation transmission mechanism 32 is provided in the rotation transmission path 20 a on the handle 14 side of the clutch mechanism 28, and transmits the rotation of the handle 14 to the rotor 18 according to the rotation of the handle 14. In the present embodiment, the rotation of the braking member 50 is transmitted to the rotor 18. Specifically, it is constituted by a rotation balance adjusting section 57 provided on the drum member 56. By providing the rotation balance adjusting section 57 on the drum member 56, the drum member 56 moves as follows. When the rotor 18 rotates in the line payout direction in the clutch off state, no centrifugal force acts on the drum member 56, so that no load is generated by the drum member 56. On the other hand, when the rotation of the handle 14 causes the drum member 56 to rotate in the line winding direction, the rotation balance adjustment unit 57 of the drum member 56 moves the drum member 56 from the third position to the fourth position radially outward by centrifugal force. Let it. As a result, the drum member 56 comes into contact with the first brake shoe 51, and the rotation of the handle 14 is transmitted to the rotor 18 via the drum member 56, and the rotor 18 rotates in the line winding direction. Here, since the second rotation transmission mechanism 32 can be configured by the drum member 56, the configuration of the second rotation transmission mechanism 32 is simple.

<Structure of reverse rotation prevention mechanism>
The reverse rotation inhibiting mechanism 34 inhibits the rotation of the pinion gear 46 in the direction opposite to the line winding direction. As a result, the thread unwinding direction of the handle 14 connected by the pinion gear 46 and the first rotation transmission mechanism 20 is prohibited. In this embodiment, the reverse rotation inhibiting mechanism 34 includes a roller clutch 34a. The roller clutch 34a is of an inner ring idle type. The roller clutch 34a has an inner ring 34b, an outer ring 34c, and a plurality of rolling elements 34d. The inner ring 34b is connected to the moving member 54 so as to be integrally rotatable. The outer ring 34c is non-rotatably connected to the non-rotatable cam receiving portion 72. The rolling element 34d is rotatably mounted between the inner ring 34b and the outer ring 34c.

<Operation and operation of spinning reel>
At the time of casting, the bail arm 49 is tilted to the line releasing posture side, and the fishing line is paid out from the outer periphery of the spool 16 by casting. At the time of winding the yarn, the brake lever 22 is operated from the brake release position to the predetermined braking position to turn on the clutch mechanism 28. When the handle 14 is rotated in the line winding direction in this state, the bail arm 49 returns to the line winding posture by a return mechanism (not shown). The torque of the handle 14 is transmitted to a pinion gear 46 via a drive shaft 42 and a drive gear 44. The rotational force transmitted to the pinion gear 46 is transmitted to the rotor 18 via the moving member 54 and the clutch mechanism 28. At this time, since the drum member 56 also rotates in the same yarn winding direction as the rotor 18, even if the drum member 56 contacts the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 48b, the rotation of the rotor 18 is not affected. When the pinion gear 46 rotates, the spool shaft 17 reciprocates in the front-rear direction.

  If the brake lever 22 is not operated, the brake lever 22 is held at the predetermined braking position by the action of the toggle spring 40, and the rotation of the rotor 18 in the line payout direction is braked by the rotation restricting section 52 with the predetermined braking force.

  When the rotor 18 is rotated in reverse to exchange fish, the braking force is adjusted by pulling the retracting operation portion 22d of the brake lever 22 toward the rod mounting portion 12a with, for example, an index finger. As a result, the clutch mechanism 28 is turned off, and the rotor 18 becomes freely rotatable.

  When the fishing line is pulled by the fish and the rotor 18 reverses in the line payout direction, the brake lever 22 is pulled from the brake release position toward the rod mounting portion 12a to brake the rotor 18. When the rotor 18 rotates in the line pay-out direction, the rotation is interrupted by the clutch mechanism 28 and is not transmitted to the pinion gear 46. For this reason, even if the rotor 18 rotates in the line feeding direction, the handle 14 does not rotate in the line feeding direction.

  When it is desired to wind the fishing line to move the fishing spot when the clutch mechanism 28 is off, the handle 14 is rotated in the line winding direction. By this rotation, the drum member 56 rotates in the line winding direction, and the second rotation transmission mechanism 32 operates. When the drum member 56 rotates, the drum member 56 moves from the third position to the fourth position due to the centrifugal force. When the drum member 56 moves to the fourth position, the drum member 56 contacts the first brake shoe 51, and the rotor 18 rotates in the line winding direction. Thus, even when the clutch mechanism 28 is in the off state, the fishing line can be wound around the spool 16 only by operating the handle. When the fishing line is wound, the clutch mechanism 28 is turned on by operating the first push-in operation portion 22e or the second push-in operation portion 22f to operate the brake lever 22 at the predetermined braking position. As a result, the rotor 18 is connected to the pinion gear 46 whose rotation in the line feeding direction is always prohibited, and the fishing line is not drawn out from the spool 16 even if the hand is released from the handle 14.

<Second embodiment>
In the spinning reel 110 according to the second embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the configuration of the second rotation transmission mechanism 132 is different from that of the first embodiment. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted. In the following description of the second embodiment, members having substantially the same configuration as those of the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted. Although different from the first embodiment, the corresponding members will be described with the same three-digit reference numerals having the same last two digits.

  The second rotation transmission mechanism 132 has an arm member 180 made of an elastic body, and a magnet 182 fixed to the arm member 180. The arm member 180 is disposed between the outer peripheral surface 50a of the braking member 50 and the inner peripheral surface 48c of the cylindrical portion 48b. One end of the arm member 180 is fixed to the outer peripheral surface 50 a of the drum member 56, and is curved along the outer peripheral surface 50 a of the drum member 56. The magnet 182 is arranged to face the inner peripheral surface 48c of the cylindrical portion 48b.

  In the spinning reel 110 according to the second embodiment having such a configuration, a centrifugal force does not act on the magnet 182 even when the rotor 18 rotates in the line payout direction, so that no load is generated by the magnet 182. On the other hand, when the braking member 50 rotates in the line winding direction, the magnet 182 approaches the inner peripheral surface 48c of the cylindrical portion 48b of the rotor 18 due to the centrifugal force, as shown in FIG. The rotor 18 is pulled in the line winding direction by the magnetic force generated in this case. Thus, the rotation of the handle 14 in the line winding direction can be transmitted to the rotor 18. Here, the rotation of the handle 14 can be transmitted to the rotor without contact by the magnetic force. When the rotation of the handle 14 stops, the magnet 182 returns to the position shown in FIG.

<Third embodiment>
In the spinning reel 210 according to the third embodiment shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the configuration of the second rotation transmission mechanism 232 is different from that of the first embodiment. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  The second rotation transmission mechanism 232 has at least one (for example, two) second brake shoes 284 and a third urging member 286. The second brake shoe 284 is capable of pressing the first brake shoe 51 at a seventh position shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 10 and an eighth position separated from the first brake shoe 51 and shown by a solid line in FIG. The drum member 256 is provided to be freely movable in the radial direction. The second brake shoe 284 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin such as a polyurethane, polyacetal, and polytetrafluoroethylene drum. The second brake shoe 284 is formed in an arc shape, and has a contact portion 284a that can contact the first brake shoe 51 and a guide portion 284b that is smaller in width and thickness than the contact portion 284a. The guide portion 284b is guided movably in the radial direction by a guide groove 256f formed in the second cylindrical portion 256b of the drum member 256.

  The third urging member 286 of the drum member 256 returns the second brake shoe 284 moved to the seventh position by the centrifugal force to the eighth position. The third biasing member 286 is formed by bending a metal spring wire into a C shape. The third biasing member 286 is hooked on the second brake shoe 284 and biases the second brake shoe 284 to the eighth position. The first brake shoe 251 is longer in the front-rear direction than in the first embodiment, and can contact the drum member 256 and the second brake shoe 284.

  In the spinning reel 210 according to the third embodiment having such a configuration, the centrifugal force does not act on the drum member 256 when the rotor 18 rotates in the line payout direction, so that the second brake shoe 284 is held at the eighth position. Thus, no load is generated by the second brake shoe 284. On the other hand, when the drum member 256 rotates in the line winding direction due to the rotation of the handle 14, the second brake shoe 284 moves from the eighth position to the seventh position by centrifugal force and presses the first brake shoe 251. As a result, the rotor 18 rotates in the line winding direction via the second brake shoe 284. Here, since the second rotation transmitting mechanism 232 can be constituted by the second braking shoe 284, the rotation of the drum member 256 can be transmitted to the rotor 18 reliably.

<Other embodiments>
As described above, one embodiment of the present invention has been described, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. In particular, a plurality of embodiments and modifications described in this specification can be arbitrarily combined as needed.

  (A) In the above embodiment, the clutch switching member 26 is configured to interlock with the brake lever 22, but the present invention is not limited to this. The clutch switching member may be operated independently of the brake lever 22.

  (B) In the above embodiment, the clutch mechanism 28 is provided between the pinion gear 46 and the rotor 18, but the present invention is not limited to this. The clutch mechanism may be provided anywhere as long as the rotation transmission path 20a of the first rotation transmission mechanism 20 is provided. For example, it may be provided between the drive gear and the pinion gear and between the drive shaft and the drive gear.

  (C) In the above embodiment, the first engagement portion of the clutch mechanism 28 is provided in the rotation restricting portion 52, but the present invention is not limited to this. The first engagement portion may be provided on the moving member.

(D) In the above embodiment, the rotor 18 is braked by pressing the drum member 56 via the radial rolling bearing 60, but the present invention is not limited to this. The drum lever 56 may be directly pressed by the brake lever 22.
<Features>
The above embodiment can be expressed as follows.

  (A) The spinning reel 10 is a reel that pays out fishing line forward. The spinning reel 10 includes a reel body 12, a handle 14, a spool 16, a rotor 18, a first rotation transmission mechanism 20, a braking lever 22, a rotor braking mechanism 24, a clutch switching member 26, a clutch mechanism 28 , A clutch control mechanism 30 and a second rotation transmission mechanism 32.

  The reel body 12 has a rod mounting portion 12a. The handle 14 is rotatably provided on a side of the reel body 12. The spool 16 is supported by the reel body 12 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction. The rotor 18 is rotatable with respect to the reel body 12 and is configured to wind a fishing line around the spool 16. The first rotation transmission mechanism 20 has a rotation transmission path 20a that transmits the rotation of the handle 14 to the rotor 18. The braking lever 22 is provided movably on the reel body 12. The rotor braking mechanism 24 brakes the rotor 18 according to the operation of the braking lever 22. The clutch switching member 26 is provided movably on the reel body 12. The clutch mechanism 28 is provided in the rotation transmission path 20a, and can be switched by a clutch switching member 26 between an ON state in which the rotation of the handle 14 is transmitted to the rotor 18 and an OFF state in which the rotation is not transmitted. The clutch control mechanism 30 controls the clutch mechanism 28 between an on state and an off state according to the movement of the clutch switching member 26. The second rotation transmission mechanism 32 is provided on the rotation transmission path 20 a closer to the handle 14 than the clutch mechanism 28, and transmits the rotation of the handle 14 to the rotor 18 according to the rotation of the handle 14.

  In the spinning reel 10, when the clutch mechanism 28 is on, the rotation of the handle 14 is transmitted to the rotor 18 via the first rotation transmission mechanism 20, and the fishing line is wound around the spool 16. When the clutch mechanism 28 is turned off, the handle does not rotate even if the rotor 18 rotates in the line feeding direction. When the handle 14 is turned in the line winding direction when the clutch mechanism 28 is in the off state, the second rotation transmission mechanism 32 transmits the rotation of the handle 14 to the rotor 18 and can rotate the rotor 18 in the line winding direction. Here, the second rotation transmission mechanism 32 is provided in the rotation transmission path 20a closer to the handle 14 than the clutch mechanism 28 is. Therefore, even if the clutch mechanism 28 is in the off state, the rotation of the handle 14 can be transmitted to the rotor 18 only by rotating the handle 14 without operating the clutch mechanism 28 in the on state. Thus, in the spinning reel 10 having the clutch mechanism 28, even when the clutch mechanism 28 is in the off state, when the load is light, the fishing line can be wound without operating the brake lever 22 similarly to the normal spinning reel. Become.

  (B) The second rotation transmission mechanism 32 may transmit the rotation by centrifugal force generated according to the rotation of the handle 14. According to this configuration, since the rotation of the handle 14 is transmitted to the rotor 18 using the centrifugal force, the configuration of the second rotation transmission mechanism 32 is simplified.

  (C) The first rotation transmission mechanism 20 may include a drive shaft 42, a drive gear 44, and a pinion gear 46. The drive shaft 42 is arranged along the left-right direction which is different from the front-back direction, and the handle 14 is connected so as to be integrally rotatable. The drive gear 44 is provided so as to be integrally rotatable with the drive shaft 42. The pinion gear 46 is arranged along the front-rear direction, and meshes with the drive gear 44. The clutch mechanism 28 is disposed between the pinion gear 46 and the rotor 18. According to this configuration, since the clutch mechanism 28 is provided in a place where there is room in the space between the rotor 18 and the pinion gear 46, the clutch mechanism 28 can be easily arranged.

  (D) The spinning reel 10 may further include a reverse rotation inhibiting mechanism 34 that inhibits the rotation of the pinion gear 46 in the direction opposite to the line winding direction. According to this configuration, rotation of the handle 14 in the opposite direction can be prohibited regardless of the on state and the off state of the clutch mechanism 28.

  (E) The rotor 18 may have a mounting portion 48 including a disk-shaped wall portion 48a rotatable with respect to the reel body 12 and a cylindrical portion 48b integrally formed on the outer peripheral side of the wall portion 48a. . The rotor braking mechanism 24 may include a braking member 50 and an annular first braking shoe 51. The braking member 50 is disposed to face the inner peripheral surface 48c of the cylindrical portion 48b. The braking member 50 is connected to the pinion gear 46 so as to be integrally rotatable. The braking member 50 is a bottomed cylindrical member that is pressed toward the inner peripheral surface 48c of the cylindrical portion 48b by the braking lever 22. The first annular braking shoe 51 is provided on the inner peripheral surface 48c of the cylindrical portion 48b so as to be able to contact the outer peripheral surface 50a of the braking member 50.

  According to this configuration, when the brake lever 22 is operated when the rotor 18 rotates in the line feeding direction, the braking member 50 is pressed toward the inner peripheral surface 48c of the cylindrical portion 48b, and the first braking shoe 51 is frictionally engaged. Combine. At this time, by adjusting the operation force applied to the braking lever 22, the braking force against the rotation of the rotor 18 in the line feeding direction can be adjusted.

  (F) The braking member 50 may include the moving member 54, the drum member 56, and the first urging member 58. The moving member 54 can rotate integrally with the pinion gear 46 and can move back and forth between a first position and a second position forward of the first position. The drum member 56 is radially movable between a third position and a fourth position radially outward of the third position. The drum member 56 is pressed by the brake lever 22 and can contact the first brake shoe 51. The first urging member 58 urges the drum member 56 from the fourth position toward the third position, and holds the drum member 56 at the third position.

  According to this configuration, when the drum member 56 is pressed toward the first brake shoe 51 by the brake lever 22, the drum member 56 moves from the third position to the fourth position. Thus, the outer peripheral surface 50a of the drum member 56 presses the first brake shoe 51, and the drum member 56 brakes the rotor 18. When the pressing by the brake lever 22 is released, the drum member 56 returns to the third position by the first urging member 58 and is held at the third position. Here, the drum member 56 that has moved to the fourth position is held at the third position by the first urging member 58 when the braking operation is completed. For this reason, the configuration for moving the drum member 56 is simplified.

  (G) The braking member 50 may further include a radial rolling bearing 60 disposed between the braking lever 22 and the drum member 56. In this case, when braking the rotor 18, the braking lever 22 presses the inner ring 60 a of the radial rolling bearing 60, so that no rotational force acts on the braking lever 22. Therefore, the bending rigidity in the circumferential direction of the brake lever 22 can be reduced, and the weight of the brake lever 22 can be reduced.

  (H) The moving member 54 may include a first moving member 62 and a second moving member 64. The first moving member 62 is a cylindrical member connected to the pinion gear 46 so as to be integrally rotatable and not to move in the axial direction. The second moving member 64 is a disk-shaped member connected to the first moving member 62 so as to be rotatable integrally and movable in the axial direction, and to which the drum member 56 is attached so as to be movable in the radial direction. According to this configuration, when the clutch mechanism 28 is on, the rotation of the pinion gear 46 is transmitted to the rotor 18 and the drum member 56 via the first moving member 62 and the second moving member 64. When the clutch mechanism 28 is off, the rotation is not transmitted to the handle 14 even if the rotor 18 rotates in the line feeding direction.

  (I) The rotor braking mechanism 24 has a rotation restricting portion 52 that restricts the rotation of the rotor 18 in the line feeding direction when the clutch mechanism 28 is in the ON state. According to this configuration, when the clutch mechanism 28 is on, the rotation restricting section 52 can restrict the rotation of the rotor 18 in the line let-out direction even if a fish catches on the tackle. For this reason, a useless yarn feeding operation due to the rotation of the rotor 18 is less likely to occur.

  (J) The rotation restricting section 52 may include a plurality of disk members 66 provided between the moving member 54 and the drum member 56. According to this configuration, when the clutch mechanism 28 is in the ON state, the rotation of the rotor 18 in the line payout direction can be braked by the friction between the disk members 66.

  (K) The rotation restricting section 52 may brake the rotation of the rotor 18 in the line payout direction with a predetermined braking force. According to this configuration, when the clutch mechanism 28 is in the ON state, the rotation of the rotor 18 in the line payout direction can be braked by the predetermined braking force.

  (L) The clutch mechanism 28 may include a first engagement portion 68 and a second engagement portion 70. The first engagement portion 68 is provided on any one of the plurality of disk members 66. The second engaging portion 70 is provided on the wall portion 48a, and engages with the first engaging portion 68 to connect the pinion gear 46 and the rotor 18 to be integrally rotatable. According to this configuration, since the clutch mechanism 28 and the rotation restricting portion 52 are shared, the configurations of the clutch mechanism 28 and the rotation restricting portion 52 are simplified.

  (M) The clutch control mechanism 30 may include a cam receiving portion 72, a clutch cam 74, and a second biasing member 76. The cam receiving portion 72 has a cam groove 72a and is provided on the reel body 12. The clutch cam 74 is rotatable around the axis of the pinion gear with respect to the reel body and moves in the axial direction with respect to the reel body in accordance with the movement of the clutch switching member by engagement of the first cam portion and the second cam portion. The member 54 is pressed from the second position toward the first position. The second urging member 76 urges the moving member 54 from the first position toward the second position. The clutch mechanism 28 may be turned on when the moving member 54 is disposed at the second position, and may be turned off when the moving member 54 is disposed at the first position.

  According to this configuration, the clutch mechanism 28 can be switched by moving the moving member 54 between the first position and the second position by moving the clutch switching member 26. Further, even if the first engaging portion 68 and the second engaging portion 70 cannot be engaged when the moving member 54 is pressed by the clutch cam 74, the second urging is performed if the two are relatively rotated. By the member 76, the first engagement portion 68 and the second engagement portion 70 can be engaged with each other, and the clutch mechanism 28 can be turned on.

  (N) The brake lever 22 is swingably mounted on the reel body 12, held at a brake release position and at a predetermined braking position farther from the rod mounting portion 12a than the brake release position, and mounted on the rod from the brake release position. It may be configured to be swingable in a direction approaching the portion 12a, and to return to the brake release position when the operation is completed. The clutch switching member 26 may be connected to the brake lever 22 and the clutch cam 74 such that the moving member 54 moves from the second position to the first position when the brake lever 22 moves from the brake release position to the predetermined braking position. Good. According to this configuration, the clutch switching member 26 can be operated by the brake lever 22, so that the clutch operation is easy.

  (O) The drum member 56 may have a rotation balance adjustment portion 57 that is heavier than other portions at at least one location in the circumferential direction. The second rotation transmission mechanism 32 may transmit the rotation of the handle 14 to the rotor 18 by moving the drum member 56 radially outward by centrifugal force and contacting the first brake shoe 51.

  According to this configuration, when the rotor 18 rotates in the line pay-out direction, no centrifugal force acts on the drum member 56, so that no load is generated by the drum member 56. On the other hand, when the drum member 56 rotates in the line winding direction, the rotation balance adjusting section 57 of the drum member 56 causes the drum member 56 to be eccentric. As a result, the drum member 56 comes into contact with the first braking shoe 51, and the rotor 18 rotates in the line winding direction via the drum member 56. Here, since the second rotation transmission mechanism 32 can be configured by the drum member 56, the configuration of the second rotation transmission mechanism 32 is simple.

  (P) The second rotation transmission mechanism 132 may include an arm member 180 made of an elastic body and a magnet 182 fixed to the other end of the arm member 180. The arm member 180 is disposed between the outer peripheral surface 50a of the drum member 56 and the inner peripheral surface 48c of the cylindrical portion 48b, one end of which is fixed to the outer peripheral surface 50a of the drum member 56, and along the outer peripheral surface 50a of the drum member 56. It may be curved as follows.

  According to this configuration, no centrifugal force acts on the magnet 182 even when the rotor 18 rotates in the line payout direction, so that no load is generated by the magnet 182. On the other hand, when the drum member 56 rotates in the line winding direction, the magnet 182 approaches the inner peripheral surface 48c of the cylindrical portion 48b of the rotor 18 due to the centrifugal force, and the magnetic force generated when the magnet 182 and the rotor 18 move relative to each other, The rotor 18 is pulled in the line winding direction. Thus, the rotation of the handle 14 in the line winding direction can be transmitted to the rotor 18. Here, the rotation of the handle 14 can be transmitted to the rotor 18 in a non-contact manner by the magnetic force.

  (Q) The second rotation transmission mechanism 232 may include at least one second brake shoe 284 and a third urging member 286. At least one second brake shoe 284 is provided on the drum member 256 so as to be movable radially between a seventh position at which the first brake shoe 51 can be pressed and an eighth position separated from the first brake shoe 51. Is also good. The third biasing member 286 may return the second brake shoe 284 moved to the seventh position by the centrifugal force to the eighth position.

  According to this configuration, when the rotor 18 rotates in the line payout direction, no centrifugal force acts on the drum member 256, so that the second brake shoe 284 is held at the eighth position, and the load by the second brake shoe 284 is reduced. Does not occur. On the other hand, when the drum member 256 rotates in the line winding direction, the second brake shoe 284 moves from the eighth position to the seventh position by centrifugal force, and presses the first brake shoe 51. As a result, the rotor 18 rotates in the line winding direction via the second brake shoe 284. Here, since the second rotation transmission mechanism 232 can be constituted by the second brake shoe 284, the rotation of the drum member 256 can be transmitted to the rotor 18 reliably.
