In the learning function as described above, the electric reel for fishing detects, for example, the number of rotations of the spool for each unit time according to the rushing operation performed by the user in the learning mode, and the rotation of the spool corresponding to each unit time. The number is stored as spool drive control information. Then, the electric reel for fishing performs the spool drive control so that the rotation speed for each unit time indicated by the stored spool drive control information is reproduced when the automatic fishing operation is executed.
However, in the learning function as described above, even if the user intentionally performs a quick operation to change the rotation speed of the spool sharply in the learning mode, it is reflected as the rotation speed in a unit time, which is steep.

The left side cover 22B covers the left side cover 22B with a predetermined storage space, and is screwed to, for example, the outer edge of the left side plate 21B. The front cover 22C covers the front portion of the main body frame 21.
Further, although not shown, a connector for connecting a power supply cable from the outside is provided in the lower front portion of the right side plate 21A.

The display operation panel unit 23 is a portion where a display for the user who uses the electric reel 1 for fishing and an operation by the user (here, a button operation) are performed.
The display operation panel unit 23 is arranged between the right side plate 21A and the left side plate 21B. The display operation panel unit 23 includes an operation unit 101 and a display unit 102.
The operation unit 101 is a part where a user operates a button. In the example of the figure, in the operation unit 101, three buttons (first button BT-1, second button BT-2, and third button BT-3) are arranged as buttons (operators) for performing button operations. ing.
In the following description, when the first button BT-1, the second button BT-2, and the third button BT-3 are not particularly distinguished, they are described as button BT.

The display unit 102 is a portion where a predetermined content is displayed according to the operation of the electric reel 1 for fishing. The display device provided as the display unit 102 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a liquid crystal display device and an organic EL display device.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a mode of the display operation panel unit 23 in the electric reel 1 for fishing. In the display operation panel unit 23, three buttons, a first button BT1, a second button BT2, and a third button BT3, are arranged from left to right so as to be arranged horizontally under the display unit 102. There is. In addition, characters that simply indicate the function of each button BT are arranged at positions corresponding to the first button BT1, the second button BT2, and the third button BT3 on the display operation panel unit 23.

The explanation is returned to FIGS. 1 and 2. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the handle 20 has a handle arm 25 non-rotatably attached to the tip portion 20a of the handle shaft and one end of the handle arm 25 that can rotate around an axis parallel to the handle shaft C1. It has a mounted handle knob 26 and a drag 27 arranged on the reel body 2 side.
The torque from the handle 20 is directly transmitted to the spool 3 with the clutch mechanism 5 clutch-on.

The spool 3 is rotatably provided between the right side plate 21A and the left side plate 21B by bearing bearings (not shown). The spool 3 has a spool rotation shaft (not shown), a tubular thread winding body 32 that is arranged coaxially with the spool rotation axis and can rotate in conjunction with each other, and both ends of the thread winding body 32 toward the outside in the radial direction. A flange portion 33 having an enlarged diameter is provided.
The spool 3 is rotationally driven from the motor 4 via a spool drive mechanism (not shown), and the clutch mechanism 5 driven by the clutch operating member 50 is interlocked with the spool 3. The spool rotation shaft is rotatably supported separately by the right side cover 22A and the left side cover 22B via bearings.

The clutch mechanism 5 can switch between a clutch-on state in which the rotation of the handle 20 can be transmitted to the spool 3 and a clutch-off state in which the rotation of the handle 20 cannot be transmitted to the spool 3 by operating the clutch operating member 50. At the clutch-on position, the rotation of the pinion gear is transmitted to the spool rotation shaft, the clutch is turned on, and the pinion gear and the spool rotation shaft can rotate integrally. Further, in the clutch-off position, the rotation of the pinion gear is not transmitted to the spool rotation shaft, so that the clutch is in the clutch-off state and the spool 3 can freely rotate.

As shown in FIG. 1, the clutch operating member 50 is a portion where an operation for switching the clutch mechanism 5 between a clutch on state and a clutch off state is performed.
The clutch operating member 50 is provided at the rear portion of the reel main body 2 so as to be movable in a direction of approaching and separating from the fishing rod mounting portion 24 at the rear portion of the reel main body 2 between the right side plate 21A and the left side plate 21B. .. In the present embodiment, the clutch operating member 50 is provided so as to be swingable around the spool rotation axis.

The spool drive mechanism drives the spool 3 to rotate in the thread winding direction. Further, at the time of winding, a drag force is generated by the drag 27 with respect to the spool 3 to prevent the fishing thread from being cut.
The drag 27 is provided coaxially with the handle shaft between the handle arm 25 of the handle 20 and the right side cover 22A. The spool drive mechanism includes the above-mentioned motor 4 whose rotation in the thread winding direction is prohibited by a reverse rotation prevention portion in the form of a roller clutch (not shown), decelerates the rotation of the motor 4 and transmits it to the spool 3, or rotates the handle 20. Is provided with a rotation transmission mechanism that accelerates the speed and transmits the speed to the spool 3.

As shown in FIG. 2, the motor 4 is arranged at a position in front of the spool 3 (see FIG. 1) at the front portion of the electric reel 1 for fishing, and is covered with a half-cracked motor housing 40. It is provided in.

The spool drive lever 28 can rotate around the rotation axis C3 within a certain rotation range according to the operation of the user. The spool drive lever 28 is an operator for driving the spool in a rotation direction corresponding to a direction in which the fishing thread is wound up. The spool drive lever 28 is designed so that the rotation speed of the spool 3 changes according to the rotation position. For example, when the rotation position of the spool drive lever 28 is, for example, the position rotated to the rearmost side (the frontmost side in the case of the user who performs the operation), the drive of the spool 3 is stopped, and the spool 3 is driven forward from here. The rotation speed of the spool is gradually increased as it is rotated.

[Overview of automatic operation]
The electric reel 1 for fishing of the present embodiment automatically controls the operation of the spool 3 based on the drive control information indicating the drive pattern of the spool 3 preset by the user to wind up the fishing thread. It can be performed.
On top of that, the electric reel 1 for fishing of the present embodiment is capable of two automatic digging operations, a first automatic digging operation and a second automatic digging operation. The configuration of the drive control parameter in the drive control information is different between the first automatic squeeze operation and the second automatic squeeze operation.

Corresponding to the first automatic squeeze operation, three drives of rotation speed (an example of a rotation state reproduction parameter), a drive time (an example of a duration parameter), and a stop time (an example of a stop time parameter) are used as drive control information. Information including control parameters (first drive control information) is used.
The rotation speed is the speed at which the spool 3 rotates. The speed at which the spool 3 rotates is one of the rotating states of the spool. The drive time is a time for continuing the rotational drive of the spool 3 according to the rotational speed. The stop time is the time from the end of the drive time to the start of the next drive time with the rotation of the spool 3 stopped.
In the first automatic squeezing operation, the spool drive control according to the spool rotation speed, the drive time, and the stop time indicated by the first drive control information is periodically repeated.

In response to the second automatic squeezing operation, information (second drive control information) associated with the spool rotation speed for each of a plurality of consecutive unit times is used as the drive control information. Such second drive control information is set based on the spool rotation speed for each unit time detected in the learning mode.

[Second automatic squeeze operation]
In order to make the explanation easy to understand, as the automatic plow operation, the second automatic plow operation will be described first prior to the first automatic plow operation.
When the user sets the drive pattern of the spool 3 corresponding to the second automatic shaving operation to the electric reel 1 for fishing, the user first performs a predetermined operation on the operation unit 101 (learning instruction operation corresponding to the second automatic shaving operation). To set the learning mode corresponding to the second automatic reeling operation.
In the state where the learning mode is being set, the user performs a squeeze operation (squeeze operation) using the handle 20 and the spool drive lever 28 so as to reproduce the behavior of the spool 3 in the automatic squeeze operation intended by the user. As a squeeze operation, the user rotates the spool 3, stops the rotation of the spool 3, or changes the rotation speed of the spool 3 according to the squeeze pattern intended by the user.

The learning mode corresponding to the second automatic squeeze operation is an operation of instructing the operation unit 101 to end the learning mode before a predetermined time elapses from the start of the learning mode or before the predetermined time elapses (learning mode end operation). Is terminated depending on what has been done.
That is, the user may perform the quick operation from the start of the learning mode until a predetermined time elapses. Alternatively, the user may stop the quick operation at an applicable point and perform a learning mode ending operation on the operation unit 101 to end the learning mode before a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the learning mode.

The fishing electric reel 1 detects the rotation speed (spool rotation speed) of the spool 3 at predetermined unit times during the setting of the learning mode in which the user performs the quick operation as described above. In the learning mode, the electric reel 1 for fishing stores information associated with the detected spool rotation speeds as the first drive control information for each of a plurality of unit times along the passage of time. As a result, the electric reel 1 for fishing has learned the second automatic shaving operation that reflects the shaving operation by the user.

When the user wants the electric reel 1 for fishing to perform the second automatic digging operation, the user instructs the operation unit 101 to execute the second automatic digging operation (second automatic digging execution instruction). Operation). In response to the second automatic fishing execution instruction operation, the electric reel 1 for fishing controls the drive of the spool 3 so that the spool 3 rotates at the spool rotation speed corresponding to each unit time according to the first drive control information. Execute.

In the second automatic squeezing operation, the spool 3 is driven so as to reproduce the spool rotation speed for each unit time detected in the learning mode as described above. As a result, in the second automatic squeezing operation, for example, it is possible to change the rotation speed while continuing the rotation of the spool 3.

On the other hand, in the second automatic rushing operation, the following events may occur. For example, in the learning mode, the user performs a quick operation so as to give a sharp change to the rotation speed of the spool at a certain timing. However, in the learning in the second automatic squeezing operation, it is detected as the spool rotation speed in a unit time. In this case, a steep change in the rotation speed in a unit time will be smoothed as the spool rotation speed.
Therefore, under the second automatic squeeze operation, even if the user performs an operation with the intention of giving a sharp change in the rotation speed of the spool 3 in the learning mode, when the squeeze operation is executed, , The result can be that it does not produce very steep changes. In this case, the behavior of the spool 3 that actually occurs (that is, the movement of the squirrel) is different from the user's intention.

This point will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, two spool rotation speed patterns Pt1 and Pt2 are shown. In each of the spool rotation speed patterns Pt1 and Pt2, the horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents the spool rotation speed.

The spool rotation speed pattern Pt1 shows a change in the spool rotation speed actually obtained according to the passage of time according to the squeeze operation performed by the user under the learning mode in the second automatic squeeze operation. ..
The spool rotation speed pattern Pt2 is a spool rotation detected by the electric reel 1 for fishing every unit time Tdt1 to Tdt6 in response to the squeezing operation of the spool rotation speed pattern Pt1 under the learning mode in the second automatic squeezing operation. Shows the number.
In this case, the electric reel 1 for fishing stores the spool rotation speed detected for each unit time Tdt1 to Tdt6 indicated by the spool rotation speed pattern Pt2 as the first drive control information.

The spool rotation speed pattern Pt2 as the first drive control information obtained as described above is different from the spool rotation speed pattern Pt1 according to the actual cutting operation.
Specifically, for example, the change in the spool rotation speed that suddenly rises from zero in the unit time Tdt1 of the spool rotation speed pattern Pt1 is smoothed in the spool rotation speed pattern Pt2, resulting in a lower spool rotation speed. Similarly, in the unit times Tdt3, Tdt5, etc., the spool rotation speed pattern Pt1 has a relatively steep change in the spool rotation speed, but the spool rotation speed pattern Pt2 is smoothed.

In this case, the electric reel 1 for fishing is driven and controlled by the spool 3 so that the same change in the spool rotation speed as shown by the spool rotation speed pattern Pt2 is reproduced every unit time when executing the second automatic digging operation. Will be done. In such spool drive control, a sudden change in the rotation speed of the spool 3 as shown in the spool rotation speed pattern Pt1 is not faithfully reflected. In this case, the user wanted to change the rotation speed of the spool 3 sharply at an appropriate timing, but he / she may feel that such a change in the rotation speed is not reproduced by the first automatic rushing operation. is there. As described above, in the second automatic squeezing operation, the change in the rotation speed of the spool 3 as intended by the user may not be reproduced.

[1st automatic squeeze operation]
Next, the first automatic plow operation will be described. In the second automatic squeezing operation described above, it may be difficult to reproduce the change in the rotation speed of the spool 3 as intended by the user. Therefore, under the first automatic squeezing operation, the change in the rotation speed of the spool 3 as intended by the user is reproduced as described below.

Under the first automatic squeezing operation, the user can perform a drive control parameter setting operation in the second drive control information by operating the operation unit 101. As described above, the drive control parameters included in the second drive control information are the rotation speed, the drive time, and the stop time.

FIG. 5 shows the behavior of the spool 3 obtained according to the drive control parameter setting in the first automatic plow operation. Further, in the figure, the change in the winding amount of the fishing thread according to the behavior of the spool 3 with the passage of time is also shown.
As the behavior of the spool 3 in this case, the unit drive time Tp is periodically repeated while the first automatic plow operation is executed. In one unit drive time Tp, first, the spool 3 is driven at a rotation speed v1 by the drive time Td. Further, when the drive time Td ends in the same unit drive time Tp, the rotation of the spool 3 is then stopped over the stop time Ts. When the stop time Ts ends, the next unit drive time Tp is started, and the spool 3 rotates and stops in the same pattern.

Next, with reference to FIG. 6, a procedure example of the setting operation of the drive control parameters (rotation speed, drive time, and stop time) in the first automatic plow operation will be described. In the figure, an example of the transition of the parameter change screen according to the setting operation of the drive control parameter in the first automatic squeezing operation is shown.
The user enters the parameter change mode for the operation unit 101 while the rotation of the spool 3 is stopped under the mode in which the first automatic squeeze operation can be executed (the first automatic squeeze operation execution mode). A predetermined operation (parameter change mode transition operation) for instructing a transition can be performed.

In response to the parameter change mode transition operation, the fishing electric reel 1 shifts from the first automatic fishing operation mode to the parameter change mode. The parameter change mode is a mode in which the operation unit 101 for changing the drive control parameter corresponding to the first automatic squeezing operation can be operated.
The electric reel 1 for fishing displays the parameter change screen on the display unit 102 in response to the shift to the parameter change mode.

FIG. 6A shows a parameter change screen that is first displayed after shifting to the parameter change mode. On the parameter change screen of the figure, the lever speed display area AR1, the water depth display area AR2, and the parameter display area AR22 are arranged.

The lever speed display area AR1 is an area in which the rotation speed (lever speed) of the spool 3 set according to the current rotation position of the spool drive lever 28 is displayed.
The water depth display area AR2 is an area that displays the water depth at which the device is currently located.

The parameter display area AR22 is an area in which the value (parameter value) of the drive control parameter corresponding to the second spool drive control, which is currently set, is displayed.
The parameter display area AR22 includes a rotation speed display area AR22-1, a drive time display area AR22-2, and a stop time display area AR22-3.
The rotation speed display area AR22-1 is an area in which the parameter value of the rotation speed is displayed. The drive time display area AR22-2 is an area in which the parameter value of the drive time is displayed. The stop time display area AR22-3 is an area in which the parameter value of the stop time is displayed.

Further, on the parameter change screen, button function instruction icons inc-1, inn-2, and inn-3 are arranged. The button function instruction icons inn-1, inn-2, and inn-3 indicate the functions assigned to the corresponding buttons BT-1, BT-2, and BT-3, respectively.
Specifically, in the case of the figure, the button function instruction icon icon-1 indicates that the function of increasing the parameter value is assigned to the first button BT-1. The button function instruction icon icon-2 indicates that the function of reducing the parameter value is assigned to the second button BT-2. The button function instruction icon icon-3 indicates that the confirmation (enter) function is assigned to the third button BT-3.

Further, in the figure, the rotation speed display area AR22-1 is highlighted in the parameter display area AR22. The state in which the rotation speed display area AR22-1 is highlighted in this way indicates that the rotation speed can be changed among the drive control parameters (rotation speed, drive time, stop time) at present.
That is, in the example of the figure, when shifting to the parameter change mode corresponding to the second automatic squeezing operation, first, among the drive control parameters (rotation speed, drive time, stop time), the parameter value of the rotation speed is set. An example of a mode in which the state can be changed is shown.

Under the state in which the parameter change screen of the embodiment shown in the figure is displayed, each time the user presses the first button BT-1 once, the parameter value of the rotation speed is incremented. Further, each time the user presses the first button BT-2 once, the parameter value of the rotation speed is decremented.
It should be noted that, in response to the user pressing and holding the first button BT-1, the parameter value of the rotation speed may be continuously incremented until the pressing of the first button BT-1 is released. Further, in response to the user pressing and holding the second button BT-2, the parameter value of the rotation speed may be continuously decremented until the pressing of the second button BT-2 is released.
Further, in response to the operation on the first button BT-1 or the second button BT-2 to change the parameter value of the rotation speed as described above, the change is made in the rotation speed display area AR22-1. The display is changed so that the (specified) parameter value is reflected.

Then, when the user performs the operation as described above and finishes setting the numerical value as intended for the parameter value of the rotation speed, the user operates the third button BT-3. According to the operation of the third button BT-3, the parameter value of the rotation speed is determined by the value currently input. At this time, the electric reel 1 for fishing updates the parameter value of the rotation speed in the drive control parameter corresponding to the first automatic digging operation. Further, the parameter change screen transitions to the mode shown in FIG. 6 (B).

The parameter change screen of FIG. 6B is changed to a state in which the drive time display area AR22-2 is highlighted. That is, as the parameter change mode, the state in which the parameter value of the rotation speed can be changed has changed to the state in which the parameter value of the drive time can be changed.
The user operates the first button BT-1 or the second button BT-2 in the same manner as in the case of FIG. 6A while the parameter change screen shown in FIG. 6B is displayed. You can change the drive time parameter value as you intended. When the user confirms that the driving time parameter value is the intended value, the user operates the third button BT-3 to determine the driving time parameter value. The electric reel 1 for fishing updates the parameter value of the drive time in the drive control parameter corresponding to the first automatic squeeze operation according to the operation of the third button BT-3 in this case.
Further, the parameter change screen transitions to the state shown in FIG. 6C in response to the operation of the third button BT-3.

The parameter change screen of FIG. 6C is changed to a state in which the stop time display area AR22-3 is highlighted. That is, as the parameter change mode, the state in which the parameter value of the drive time can be changed has changed to the state in which the parameter value of the stop time can be changed.
The user changes the parameter value of the stop time by performing an operation on the first button BT-1 or the second button BT-2 while the parameter change screen shown in FIG. 6C is displayed. Then, you can enter the stop time you intend. Then, the user operates the third button BT-3 to determine the parameter value of the stop time. The electric reel 1 for fishing updates the parameter value of the stop time in the drive control parameter corresponding to the first automatic squeezing operation according to the operation of the third button BT-3 in this case.
Then, in this case, the parameter change mode is terminated and the mode is returned to the first automatic operation execution mode in response to the operation of the third button BT-3. In response to the shift to the first automatic squeeze operation execution mode, the display of the display unit 102 shifts from the display of the parameter change screen so far to the display corresponding to the first automatic squeeze operation execution mode.

When the first automatic shaving operation is executed in the first automatic shaving operation execution mode shifted from the parameter change mode as described above, the electric reel 1 for fishing is driven and controlled determined in the parameter change mode. Drive control of the spool 3 is executed for each unit drive time (drive time + stop time) according to the parameters (rotation speed, drive time, stop time). That is, in this case, the drive control of the spool 3 is executed according to the drive control parameter set by the user in the parameter change mode.

In the first automatic squeezing operation in which the drive control parameters are set in this way, for example, the spool 3 can be started to rotate at the rotation speed as indicated by the parameter value of the rotation speed in the drive control parameters.
In the present embodiment, the user knows that the drive control parameters in the first automatic plow operation are the rotation speed, the drive time, and the stop time. That is, the user understands that the spool 3 repeats rotation and stop according to the rotation speed set as the drive control parameter, and based on this understanding, the user can obtain his / her intended quick operation. Set the drive control parameters to.
Therefore, when the first automatic squeezing operation is being executed, the spool 3 starts rotating at the rotation speed as intended by the user at the start timing of the drive time. In such a first automatic squeezing operation, the rotation speed of the spool 3 changes as intended by the user. That is, in the first automatic squeezing operation, the spool 3 can behave as intended by the user.
Further, the drive control parameters (rotation speed, drive time, stop time) corresponding to the first automatic squeeze operation can be easily changed by operating the operation unit 101 as described with reference to FIG. is there.

[Setting of the first automatic squeeze operation by learning]
On top of that, the electric reel 1 for fishing of the present embodiment can set the learning mode corresponding to the first automatic digging operation.
For example, the default parameter value of the drive control parameter set corresponding to the factory default may be significantly different from the drive pattern of the spool 3 in the first automatic squeeze operation intended by the user. In such a case, in the operation performed while confirming the specific numerical values as illustrated in FIG. 6, it takes time to set the parameter values so as to be the drive pattern of the spool 3 intended by the user. There is.
In such a case, for example, the user first sets a learning mode corresponding to the first automatic squeezing operation and performs the squeezing operation, thereby causing the electric reel 1 for fishing to have drive control parameters (rotation speed, drive time). , Stop time). As a result, the user can first set a parameter value that is close to his / her intention for the drive control parameter corresponding to the first automatic squeezing operation. After that, the user can change the parameter value of each drive control parameter so as to match his / her intention while checking the specific numerical value by operating the operation unit 101 illustrated in FIG. By following such a procedure, the user can easily and quickly set the drive control parameter that causes the spool 3 to behave according to his / her intention.

When the learning mode corresponding to the first automatic squeezing operation is set, the electric reel 1 for fishing has a drive control parameter (rotational speed) as follows based on the behavior of the spool 3 according to the squeezing operation performed by the user. , Drive time, stop time) are calculated.
The electric reel 1 for fishing detects the rotation speed of the spool according to the quick operation while the learning mode is set at regular intervals, and records the detected rotation speed.
The electric reel 1 for fishing calculates the rotation speed, the drive time, and the stop time as drive control parameters based on the rotation speed at regular intervals detected in the learning mode.

As an example, in calculating the rotation speed, the drive time, and the stop time, the electric reel 1 for fishing is divided into sections corresponding to one squeeze based on the recorded fluctuation pattern of the rotation speed. The electric reel 1 for fishing specifies a drive time, a period corresponding to a stop time, and a rotation speed in the drive time for each divided section. The fishing electric reel 1 calculates each one rotation speed, drive time, and stop time based on the rotation speed, drive time, and stop time specified for each section. In this case, the electric reel 1 for fishing has one rotation speed, drive time, and stop by calculating the mode value, average value, or the like of the rotation speed, drive time, and stop time specified for each fluctuation cycle. The time may be calculated.
The fishing electric reel 1 updates the parameter values of the drive control parameters corresponding to the first automatic squeeze operation by one rotation speed, drive time, and stop time calculated as described above.

In this way, the first drive control information can be set by learning as well. For example, the user first performs a quick operation in the learning mode to obtain his / her own intention for each of the parameter values of the drive control parameters. A value close to to some extent can be set. After that, the user can change the parameter value of each drive control parameter so as to match his / her intention by operating the operation unit 101. By following such a procedure, the user can easily and quickly set the drive control parameter that causes the spool 3 to behave according to his / her intention.

[Example of functional configuration of electric reel for fishing]
An example of the functional configuration of the electric reel 1 for fishing will be described with reference to FIG. 7. In the figure, the same parts as those in FIGS. 1 and 2 are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.
The electric reel 1 for fishing in the figure includes an operation unit 101, a display unit 102, a control unit 103, a storage unit 104, a motor drive circuit 105, a motor 4, a spool 3, and a rotation sensor 106.

The control unit 103 executes various controls on the electric reel 1 for fishing. The function as the control unit 103 is realized by executing a program by a CPU (Central Processing Unit) included in the electric reel 1 for fishing.
The control unit 103 includes a parameter setting unit 131 and a spool drive control unit 132.
The parameter setting unit 131 sets the drive control parameters (rotation speed, drive time, stop time) as the first drive control information according to the operation performed on the operation unit 101.
The spool drive control unit 132 executes drive control of the spool 3 based on the drive control information.

The storage unit 104 stores various types of information corresponding to the electric reel 1 for fishing. The storage unit 104 includes a first drive control information storage unit 141 and a second drive control information storage unit 142.
The first drive control information storage unit 141 stores the first drive control information. The first drive control information is information used for driving and controlling the spool 3 in the first automatic squeezing operation. The first drive control information includes drive control parameters (rotation speed, drive time, stop time) set by the parameter change mode or the learning mode corresponding to the first automatic squeeze operation.
The second drive control information storage unit 142 stores the second drive control information. The second drive control information is information used for driving and controlling the spool 3 in the second automatic squeezing operation.

FIG. 8A shows an example of the contents of the first drive control information stored in the first drive control information storage unit 141. As shown in the figure, the first drive control information stores three drive control parameters of each one rotation speed, drive time, and stop time.

FIG. 8B shows an example of the contents of the second drive control information stored in the second drive control information storage unit 142. As shown in the figure, the second drive control information is stored in association with the spool rotation speed for each unit time 1 to N.

The explanation is returned to FIG. The motor drive circuit 105 is a circuit that drives the motor 4 under the control of the spool drive control unit 132. The spool 3 is driven to rotate by the power obtained by rotating the motor 4.

In the present embodiment, it is preferable that a brushless motor is used for the motor 4 that drives the spool 3. A brushless motor can be driven to suddenly accelerate or stop, for example, because the rotor has little inertia.
By using such a brushless motor as the motor 4 of the electric reel 1 for fishing of the present embodiment, it becomes easy to drive the spool 3 to steeply change the rotation speed. As a result, the rotation speed of the spool 3 can be easily changed sharply under the first automatic squeezing operation.
The motor 4 may be a brushed motor. In this case, by short-circuiting the circuit (motor terminal) during stop control, even if the brushed motor has a rotor with high inertia, it can be stopped suddenly.

The rotation sensor 106 detects the rotation of the spool. The control unit 103 is configured to detect the rotation speed of the spool 3 based on the detection output of the rotation sensor 106. The rotation sensor 106 may be provided with, for example, a potentiometer or the like to detect the rotation position of the spool 3, or may be such that the rotation speed is detected by an angular velocity sensor or the like.

[Example of processing procedure]
With reference to the flowchart of FIG. 9, the processing for the electric reel 1 for fishing to set the drive control parameter corresponding to the first automatic digging operation in response to the operation on the operation unit 101 under the parameter change mode. A procedure example will be described.

Step S101: As described above, the user can perform the parameter change mode transition operation on the operation unit 101 in the state where the rotation of the spool 3 is stopped under the first automatic operation execution mode. .. The parameter setting unit 131 of the electric reel 1 for fishing sets the parameter change mode in response to the parameter change mode transition operation.
Step S102: When the parameter change mode is set in step S101, the parameter setting unit 131 first sets the rotation speed as the parameter value to be changed among the rotation speed, the drive time, and the stop time as the drive control parameters.
As steps S101 and S102 are executed in this way, the parameter setting unit 131 displays a parameter change screen corresponding to the change of the parameter value of the rotation speed on the display unit 102 as shown in FIG. 6A. Display it.

Step S103: Under the state where the parameter value of the rotation speed can be changed in step S102, the parameter setting unit 131 determines whether or not the parameter value change operation has been performed. The parameter value changing operation is an operation for the first button BT-1 or an operation for the second button BT-2. The operation for the first button BT-1 is an operation for increasing the parameter value, and the operation for the second button BT-2 is an operation for decreasing the parameter value.
Step S104: When it is determined in step S103 that the parameter value changing operation has been performed, the parameter setting unit 131 changes the parameter value of the rotation speed according to the parameter value changing operation. The parameter setting unit 131 changes the parameter value of the rotation speed displayed on the parameter change screen so that the change is reflected.

Step S105: After the processing of step S104, or when it is determined in step S103 that the parameter value change operation is not performed, the parameter setting unit 131 determines whether or not the enter operation has been performed. The enter operation is an operation for the third button BT-3.
If it is determined that the enter operation is not performed, the process is returned to step S103.
Step S106: When it is determined in step S105 that the enter operation has been performed, the parameter setting unit 131 determines the rotation speed in the first drive control information. That is, the parameter setting unit 131 updates the parameter value of the rotation speed stored in the first drive control information storage unit 141 according to the parameter value of the rotation speed set in the final step S104.

Step S107: Further, when it is determined in step S105 that the enter operation has been performed, the parameter setting unit 131 changes the drive control parameter to be changed from the rotation speed to the drive time. As the drive control parameter to be changed is set to the drive time in this way, the parameter setting unit 131 changes the parameter change screen to a display (FIG. 6 (B)) corresponding to the change of the parameter value of the drive time. To do.

Step S108: Under the state where the parameter value of the drive time can be changed in step S107, the parameter setting unit 131 determines whether or not the parameter value change operation has been performed.
Step S109: When it is determined in step S108 that the parameter value change operation has been performed, the parameter setting unit 131 changes the parameter value of the drive time according to the parameter value change operation. The parameter setting unit 131 changes the parameter value of the drive time displayed on the parameter change screen so that the change is reflected.

Step S110: After the process of step S109, or when it is determined in step S108 that the parameter value change operation is not performed, the parameter setting unit 131 determines whether or not the enter operation has been performed. If it is determined that the enter operation is not performed, the process is returned to step S108.
Step S111: When it is determined in step S110 that the enter operation has been performed, the parameter setting unit 131 determines the drive time in the first drive control information. That is, the parameter setting unit 131 updates the drive time parameter value stored in the first drive control information storage unit 141 according to the drive time parameter value set in the final step S109.

Step S112: Further, when it is determined in step S111 that the enter operation has been performed, the parameter setting unit 131 changes the drive control parameter to be changed from the drive time to the stop time. As the drive control parameter to be changed is set to the stop time in this way, the parameter setting unit 131 changes the parameter change screen to a display corresponding to the change of the parameter value of the stop time (FIG. 6 (C)). To do.

Step S113: Under the state in which the parameter value of the stop time can be changed in step S112, the parameter setting unit 131 determines whether or not the parameter value changing operation has been performed.
Step S114: When it is determined in step S113 that the parameter value changing operation has been performed, the parameter setting unit 131 changes the parameter value of the stop time according to the parameter value changing operation. The parameter setting unit 131 changes the parameter value of the stop time displayed on the parameter change screen so that the change is reflected.

Step S115: After the processing of step S109, or when it is determined in step S108 that the parameter value change operation is not performed, the parameter setting unit 131 determines whether or not the enter operation has been performed. If it is determined that the enter operation is not performed, the process is returned to step S113.
Step S116: When it is determined in step S115 that the enter operation has been performed, the parameter setting unit 131 determines the stop time in the first drive control information. That is, the parameter setting unit 131 updates the parameter value of the stop time stored in the first drive control information storage unit 141 according to the parameter value of the stop time set in the final step S114.
Step S117: The parameter setting unit 131 ends the parameter change mode and returns to, for example, the first automatic operation execution mode.

Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 10, an example of a processing procedure for setting the drive control parameter of the electric reel 1 for fishing under the learning mode corresponding to the first automatic fishing operation will be described.
Step S201: For example, the user shifts the operation unit 101 to the learning mode corresponding to the first automatic squeezing operation in a state where the rotation of the spool 3 is stopped under the first automatic squeezing operation execution mode. (Learning mode transition operation) can be performed. The parameter setting unit 131 of the electric reel 1 for fishing sets the learning mode corresponding to the first automatic squeezing operation in response to the learning mode transition operation. At this time, although not shown, the parameter setting unit 131 may display the parameter change screen corresponding to the learning mode corresponding to the first automatic squeezing operation on the display unit 102.

Step S202: The parameter setting unit 131 starts recording the rotation speed of the spool 3 in response to the setting of the learning mode corresponding to the first automatic squeezing operation in step S201.
That is, during the setting of the learning mode corresponding to the first automatic squeeze operation, the user operates the handle 20 or the spool drive lever 28 as the squeeze operation to rotate the spool 3, stop the rotation of the spool 3, and rotate the spool 3. The rotation speed is changed as appropriate while it is being operated. By such a quick operation, the rotation speed of the spool 3 in the learning mode changes with the passage of time. In step S202 and thereafter, the rotation speed of the spool 3 according to the passage of time in the learning mode is detected, and the detected rotation speed is recorded.

Step S203: After the rotation speed recording is started in step S202, the parameter setting unit 131 waits for the learning mode to end.
The learning mode is terminated, in part, by the elapse of a predetermined maximum time of the learning mode. Further, the learning mode is terminated by performing a predetermined operation for ending the learning mode on the operation unit 101 at a timing before the maximum time elapses.

Step S204: In response to the termination of the learning mode, the parameter setting unit 131 calculates the parameter value of the rotation speed as described above by using the information of the rotation speed recorded in the learning mode.
Step S205: Further, the parameter setting unit 131 calculates the parameter value of the driving time by using the information of the rotation speed recorded in the period of the learning mode.
Step S206: Further, the parameter setting unit 131 calculates the parameter value of the stop time by using the information of the rotation speed recorded in the period of the learning mode.
Step S207: The parameter setting unit 131 updates the first drive control information stored in the first drive control information storage unit 141 according to the parameter values of the rotation speed, the drive time, and the stop time calculated in steps S204 to S206.

Further, the stop time parameter in this case indicates, as the stop time, the time during which the application of the current to the motor 4 should be stopped between the end of one duration and the start of the next duration. It may be.
Depending on the parameter of the first drive control information, the motor 4 is driven by applying a current according to the amount of current indicated by the rotation state reproduction parameter in the duration. At this time, the spool 3 is driven by a rotational torque determined according to the rotational torque of the motor 4 according to the amount of current indicated by the rotational state reproduction parameter. Then, the behavior of the spool 3 in which the rotation of the spool 3 is stopped by stopping the application of the current at the stop time following the duration is reproduced.
