Description

The present invention relates to a motor control device, particularly a motor control device for an electric reel that drives a spool rotatably mounted on a reel body with a motor.

It is known that an electric reel uses a pressure sensor as an operation unit for changing the winding speed of the spool. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an electric reel that changes the winding speed of a spool according to a pressing force that presses a pressure sensor.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-337138

With the above-mentioned electric reel, especially when adjusting the rotation speed of the motor according to the pull of the fish, depending on the position of the angler holding the reel, the position of the finger, etc., a pressing force more than intended may be generated, and fishing There is a risk that the rotation speed of the motor will increase to a speed higher than expected by humans.

An object of the present invention is to prevent the output of the motor from increasing more than expected by the angler in the motor control device of the electric reel that adjusts the output of the motor according to the pressing force.

The electric reel motor control device according to one aspect of the present invention drives a spool rotatably mounted on the reel body by a motor. The motor control device includes a pressing operation unit and a motor control unit. The pressing operation unit is provided on the reel body. The motor control unit includes an output increasing means, an output limiting means, and an output maintaining means. The output increasing means increases the output of the motor according to the pressing pressure on which the pressing operation unit is pressed. The output limiting means increases the output of the motor by the output increasing means when the output of the motor is smaller than the intermediate output and is equal to or less than the predetermined output. If the output of the motor exceeds the intermediate output, the output of the motor is converted to the intermediate output. Limit to. The output maintaining means maintains the output of the motor when the pressing of the pressing operation unit is stopped.

In the motor control device of this electric reel, even if the pressing operation unit is pressed when the output of the motor is smaller than the intermediate output and is equal to or less than a predetermined output, the output of the motor does not increase above the intermediate output. Therefore, when the output of the motor is smaller than the intermediate output and is equal to or less than the predetermined output, the output of the motor is limited so as not to exceed the intermediate output even when the pressing operation unit is pressed with a pressing force higher than intended. .. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the output of the motor from increasing more than the angler expected.

Preferably, the motor control device further comprises a pressure sensor that detects the pressing force. The motor control unit gradually controls the output of the motor from the stopped state to the maximum output. When the output of the motor is maintained in the intermediate output stage limited by the output limiting means by the output maintaining means, the pressing force corresponding to each stage from the stage one step larger than the intermediate output stage to the maximum output stage is the pressure. It is divided in the range from the lower limit value to the upper limit value of the pressing force detected by the sensor. In this case, when the output of the motor is limited in the intermediate output stage, the output stage of the motor can be adjusted quickly and easily.

Preferably, when the motor control unit maintains the output of the motor by the output maintaining means at an intermediate output limited by the output limiting means, when the pressing operation unit is pressed with a pressing force larger than a predetermined pressing force. Only increase the output of the motor. In this case, it is necessary to prevent the output of the motor from increasing more than the angler expected when the pressing operation unit is pressed while the output of the motor is maintained at the intermediate output limited by the output limiting means. Can be done.

Preferably, the output maintaining means limits the motor output to the intermediate output if the motor output exceeds the intermediate output when the output increasing means increases the motor output when the motor output is less than the intermediate output. To do. In this case, when the output of the motor is less than the intermediate output, the output of the motor is limited so as not to exceed the intermediate output even when the pressing operation unit is pressed with a pressing force more than intended. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the output of the motor from increasing more than the angler expected.

According to the present invention, in a motor control device for an electric reel that adjusts the output of a motor according to a pressing force, it is possible to prevent the output of the motor from increasing more than expected by an angler.

As shown in FIG. 1, the electric reel 100 adopting one embodiment of the present invention is an electric reel driven by a motor by electric power supplied from an external power source. Further, the electric reel 100 has a water depth display function of displaying the water depth of the device according to the thread feeding length or the thread winding length.

The electric reel 100 is arranged on the side of the reel body 1 that can be mounted on a fishing rod, the spool 2 arranged inside the reel body 1, the motor 3 that rotationally drives the spool 2 in the thread winding direction, and the reel body 1. It mainly includes a handle 4 for rotating the spool 2 and a counter case 5 for displaying the water depth.

The reel body 1 includes a frame 6, a first side cover 7a covering one side of the frame 6, a second side cover 7b covering the other side of the frame 6, and a front cover (not shown) covering the front part of the frame 6. have. Further, inside the reel main body 1, a level wind mechanism (not shown) that operates in conjunction with the spool 2 and a rotation transmission mechanism (not shown) that transmits the rotation of the motor 3 and the handle 4 to the spool 2 are provided.

The spool 2 is rotatably mounted on the reel body 1 between the first side cover 7a and the second side cover 7b. The motor 3 is arranged inside the spool 2.

The handle 4 is rotatably supported at the lower center of the first side cover 7a. Further, a clutch operating member 9 is swingably arranged above the support portion of the handle 4. The clutch operating member 9 is a member for turning on / off a clutch (not shown) provided between the motor 3 and the handle 4 and the spool 2.

The counter case 5 is arranged on the upper part of the front side of the reel main body 1 and is fixed to the first side plate 6a and the second side plate 6b constituting the frame 6. A display unit 10 having a liquid crystal display is provided on the upper surface of the counter case 5. On the rear side of the display unit 10, a first pressing operation unit 11, a second pressing operation unit 12, and three operation switches 13 projecting upward from the counter case 5 are arranged. In the present embodiment, the first and second pressing operation units 11 and 12 are arranged unevenly from the center in the left-right direction to the side opposite to the handle 4. Further, the first pressing operation unit 11 and the second pressing operation unit 12 are arranged adjacent to each other in the vertical direction. The three operation switches 13 are mainly used when making various settings for the electric reel 100. A control unit 15 (see FIG. 2) that performs various controls is housed inside the counter case 5.

As shown in FIG. 2, the first and second pressing operation units 11 and 12 have pressure sensors 11a and 12a, respectively. The pressure sensors 11a and 12a are members that output an electric signal at a level corresponding to the force for pressing the first and second pressing operation units 11 and 12 (hereinafter referred to as pressing pressure), and the magnitude of the pressing pressure is increased. The corresponding detected value is output as an electric signal to the motor control unit 16 of the control unit 15 described later.

As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 15 includes a motor control unit 16 that controls the motor 3 and a display control unit 17 that controls the display unit 10 as a functional configuration. The motor control unit 16 controls the drive of the motor 3 in response to the pressing operations of the first and second pressing operation units 11 and 12 via the motor drive circuit 18 that PWM-drives the motor 3.

Specifically, the motor control unit 16 controls the output of the motor 3 (hereinafter, referred to as the motor output) according to the pressing pressure for pressing the first pressing operation unit 11 or the second pressing operation unit 12. In the present embodiment, the motor control unit 16 increases the motor output (for example, the rotation speed of the motor 3) according to the pressing pressure only while the first pressing operation unit 11 is being pressed. The motor control unit 16 reduces the motor output (for example, the rotation speed of the motor 3) according to the pressing force only while the second pressing operation unit 12 is being pressed. Further, the motor output when the pressing of the first pressing operation unit 11 or the second pressing operation unit 12 is stopped is maintained.

The first and second pressing operation units 11 and 12 and the operation switch 13 are connected to the control unit 15. Further, the control unit 15 is connected to a display unit 10, a spool sensor 19 for detecting the rotation speed and rotation direction of the spool 2, and a storage unit 20. The storage unit 20 is, for example, a non-volatile memory, and stores various setting information of the electric reel 100 such as shelf position information and ship edge stop position information.

<Motor control processing>
Next, an example of the flow of the motor control process performed by the motor control unit 16 of the control unit 15 when the power of the electric reel 100 is on will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. Here, the motor output is stepwise adjusted to a plurality of Nmax + 1 steps from 0 to Nmax. The 0th stage is the stopped state of the motor 3, and the Nmax stage is the state in which the motor 3 is driven at the maximum output. The motor output is adjusted in, for example, 31 steps.

Further, here, a lower limit value and an upper limit value (for example, a lower limit value of 30 grams and an upper limit value of 2 kilograms) of the pressing force output from the pressure sensors 11a and 12a are set. Then, after dividing the range of the lower limit value and the upper limit value into arbitrary stages (for example, dividing into 31 equal parts), the number of increase and the number of decrease of the motor output stage corresponding to each stage are set. It is preferable to set so that the increasing number and decreasing number of the motor output stages increase as the pressing force increases.

Further, here, the motor 3 is controlled by the PWM method, and the maximum output is a duty ratio of 100%. The motor output is, for example, the rotation speed of the motor 3. Here, when a load is applied and the rotation speed of the spool 2 decreases, feedback control is performed so as to maintain a predetermined rotation speed.

First, in step S1, it is determined whether or not the first pressing operation unit 11 is pressed with a pressing pressure P1 of 30 g or more. Specifically, for example, by detecting the output from the pressure sensor 11a of the first pressing operation unit 11, it is determined whether or not the first pressing operation unit 11 is pressed with a pressing pressure P1 of 30 g or more. When the pressing pressure P1 is detected to be less than 30 g, the output is ignored as if it is not pressed in order to avoid erroneous operation. Here, for example, a resistance film type pressure sensor is used to configure the circuit so that the voltage as an output is proportional to the pressing force.

If it is determined in step S1 that the pressing force P1 is 30 g or more, the process proceeds to step S2. In step S2, the current motor output stage (hereinafter referred to as stage N) is read.

In step S3, it is determined whether or not the step N is larger than the predetermined motor output step (hereinafter referred to as the predetermined step NS). When the motor output is adjusted to 31 stages, the predetermined stage NS is preferably set to, for example, a stage within the range of 5 to 10 stages. The motor output corresponding to the predetermined stage NS is preferably set to an output within the range of 30% to 50% of the maximum output. It is more preferable that the motor output corresponding to the predetermined stage NS is set to an output in the range of 20% to 40% of the maximum output. The predetermined stage NS may be set to 0 stage.

If it is determined in step S3 that the step N is larger than the predetermined step NS, the process proceeds to step S4. If it is determined in step S3 that the step N is equal to or lower than the predetermined step NS, the process proceeds to step S31 shown in FIG. Details after step S31 will be described later.

In step S4, it is determined whether or not the pressing force P1 is less than 2 kg. If it is determined in step S4 that the pressing force P1 is 2 kg or more, the process proceeds to step S12, and step N is set as step Nmax. That is, the motor output is increased to the maximum output. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S10, and the motor output is maintained in the step Nmax.

If the first pressing operation unit 11 is pressed with a pressing pressure P1 of 2 kg or more while the motor output is maintained in the step Nmax, the process proceeds to step S12, but the motor has already been performed in the step Nmax. Since the output is maintained, as a result, the motor output is maintained at the step Nmax.

If it is determined in step S4 that the pressing force P1 is less than 2 kg, the process proceeds to step S5, and the step increase number M preset with respect to the output of the pressure sensor 11a is read from the storage unit 20.

In step S6, it is determined whether or not the sum of the step N and the step increase number M is less than Nmax. If it is less than Nmax, the process proceeds to step S7, and N + M is set as step N. That is, the motor output is increased to the N + M stage. Specifically, for example, when the first pressing operation unit 11 is pressed with a pressing pressure P1 of 300 g to 400 g while the motor output is in the stage 20, a preset stage corresponding to the range of the pressing pressure P1. The stage 22 to which the increase number 2 is added is set as the stage N. After that, the process proceeds to step S8.

If it is determined in step S6 that the sum of the current step N and the step increase number M is Nmax or more, the process proceeds to step S11, and a step one step below the step Nmax is set as the step N. .. That is, unless the pressing force P1 on the first pressing operation unit 11 exceeds 2 kg, the step N does not reach the step Nmax. After that, the process proceeds to step S8.

In step S8, for example, the process proceeds to step S9 after waiting for 0.5 seconds.

In step S9, it is determined whether or not the first pressing operation unit 11 is pressed with a pressing pressure P1 of 30 g or more, as in step S1. That is, here, it is determined whether or not the first pressing operation unit 11 is continuously pressed with a pressing pressure P1 of 30 g or more. If the first pressing operation unit 11 is pressed with a pressing pressure P1 of 30 g or more, the process returns to step S2. If the first pressing operation unit 11 is not pressed by the pressing pressure P1 of 30 g or more, the process proceeds to step S10, and the motor output is maintained in step S7 or step N set in step S11.

When it is determined in step S1 that the first pressing operation unit 11 is not pressed with a pressing pressure P1 of 30 g or more, the process proceeds to step S13.

In step S13, it is determined whether or not the second pressing operation unit 12 is pressed by the pressing pressure P2 of 30 g or more by the output from the pressure sensor 12a. When the pressing pressure P2 is detected to be less than 30 g, the output is ignored as if it is not pressed in order to avoid erroneous operation.

If it is determined in step S13 that the pressing force P2 is 30 g or more, the process proceeds to step S14, and it is determined whether or not the step N is 1 or more, that is, whether or not the motor 3 is driven. If the step N is 0, the operation of the second pressing operation unit 12 for reducing the output is meaningless, so that the motor control process is not executed. If the step N is 1 or more, the process proceeds to step S15.

In step S15, it is determined whether or not the pressing force P2 is less than 2 kg. When the pressing force P2 is 2 kg or more, the process proceeds to step S23 and the step N is changed to 0. That is, the drive of the motor 3 is stopped.

If the pressing force P2 is less than 2 kg in step S15, the process proceeds to step S16 and step N is read. After that, the process proceeds to step S17.

In step S17, a preset step reduction number L is read from the storage unit 20 with respect to the output of the pressure sensor 12a, and the process proceeds to step S18.

In step S18, it is determined whether or not the number obtained by subtracting the step reduction number L from the step N is 1 or more. If the number obtained by subtracting the step reduction number L from the step N is 1 or more, the process proceeds to step S19, and NL is set as the step N. That is, the motor output is reduced to the NL stage. After that, the process proceeds to step S20.

If the number obtained by subtracting the step reduction number L from the step N in step S18 is less than 1, the process proceeds to step S22 and the step N is changed to 1. After that, the process proceeds to step S20.

In step S20, for example, the process proceeds to step S21 after waiting for 0.5 seconds.

In step S21, it is determined whether or not the second pressing operation unit 12 is pressed with a pressing pressure P2 of 30 g or more, as in step S13. That is, here, it is determined whether or not the second pressing operation unit 12 is continuously pressed with a pressing pressure P2 of 30 g or more. If it is pressed by a pressing force P2 of 30 g or more, the process returns to step S15. If the second pressing operation unit 12 is not pressed by the pressing pressure P2 of 30 g or more, the process proceeds to step S10, and the motor output is maintained at the step N set in step S19 or step S22.

Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the flow of the motor control process when it is determined in step S3 that the step N is equal to or lower than the predetermined step NS will be described. If it is determined in step S3 that the step N is equal to or less than the predetermined step NS, the process proceeds to step S31.

In step S31, the step increase number M preset with respect to the output of the pressure sensor 11a is read from the storage unit 20. After that, the process proceeds to step S32.

In step S32, it is determined whether or not the sum of the step N and the step increase number M is larger than the intermediate step NM. If N + M is larger than NM, the process proceeds to step S33. The intermediate stage NM is set to a stage larger than the predetermined stage NS. The intermediate output is set to, for example, about half of the maximum output. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the intermediate stage NM is set to, for example, 16 stages. The motor output corresponding to the intermediate stage NM is preferably set to an output within the range of 30% to 80% of the maximum output. The motor output corresponding to the intermediate stage NM is preferably set to an output in the range of 40% to 70% of the maximum output.

In step S33, the intermediate stage NM is set as the stage N. That is, here, the motor output is limited to the intermediate stage NM so that the stage N does not exceed the intermediate stage NM. After that, the process proceeds to step S34.

In step S34, for example, the process proceeds to step S35 after waiting for 0.5 seconds.

In step S35, it is determined whether or not the first pressing operation unit 11 is continuously pressed with a pressing pressure P1 of 30 g or more, as in step S9. If the first pressing operation unit 11 is not pressed by the pressing pressure P1 of 30 g or more, the process proceeds to step S10, and the motor output is maintained in the intermediate step NM. If the first pressing operation unit 11 is pressed with a pressing pressure P1 of 30 g or more, the process returns to step S33. That is, even if the first pressing operation unit 11 is continuously pressed with a pressing pressure P1 of 30 g or more, the motor output is maintained in the intermediate stage NM.

If the step N plus the step increase number M in step S32 is the intermediate step NM or less, the process proceeds to step S36 and N + M is set as the step N. After that, the process proceeds to step S8. Then, if the first pressing operation unit 11 is continuously pressed with a pressing pressure P1 of 30 g or more in the next step S9, the process returns to step S2. On the other hand, if the first pressing operation unit 11 is not pressed by the pressing pressure P1 of 30 g or more in step S9, the process proceeds to step S10, and the motor output is maintained in the step N set in step S36.

Here, especially when the motor output is adjusted by the pressing force according to the pulling of the fish, the pressing force is easily affected by the position of the angler holding the electric reel 100, the position of the finger, the operating environment, and the like. There is a risk that the motor output will increase more than one would expect. In the motor control process having the above configuration, if it is determined in step S32 that the step N plus the step increase number M is larger than the intermediate step NM, the motor output is limited to the intermediate step NM in step S33. This makes it possible to prevent the motor output from increasing more than the angler expected.

<Other embodiments>
Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the invention.

<Modification example 1>
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a modification 1 of the flow of the motor control process. In the first modification, the motor control process after determining that the first pressing operation unit 11 is not pressed by the pressing force P1 of 30 g or more in step S35 is different from the above embodiment. The flow of the motor control process other than that is the same as that of the above-described embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 5, when it is determined in step S35 that the first pressing operation unit 11 is not pressed by the pressing pressure P1 of 30 g or more, the process proceeds to step S40 and the intermediate step NM set in step S33 is performed. Maintain motor output. After that, the process proceeds to step S41.

In step S41, it is determined whether or not the first pressing operation unit 11 is pressed with a pressing pressure P1 of 30 g or more, as in step S1. If it is determined in step S41 that the pressing pressure P1 is 30 g or more, the process proceeds to step S42.

In step S42, a preset step N1 with respect to the output of the pressure sensor 11a is read from the storage unit 20. Here, the pressing force P1 corresponding to each stage from the NM + 1 stage to the Nmax stage, which is one step larger than the intermediate stage NM, is within the range of the lower limit value and the upper limit value of the pressing force P1 output from the pressure sensors 11a and 12a. It is set separately. Therefore, stage N1 is larger than intermediate stage NM. In step S42, the step N1 corresponding to the pressing force P1 is read from the storage unit 20. Here, as in step S4, the step N may be controlled so as not to reach Nmax unless the pressing force P1 exceeds 2 kg.

In step S43, step N1 is set as step N. That is, the motor output is increased from the intermediate stage NM to the stage N1. After that, the process proceeds to step S8.

If it is determined in step S41 that the pressing force P1 is less than 30 g, the process proceeds to step S44.

In step S44, it is determined whether or not the pressing force P2 is 30 g or more. If it is determined that the pressing force P2 is 30 g or more, the process proceeds to step S15. If it is determined that the pressing force P2 is less than 30 g, the process returns to step 41.

<Modification 2>
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a modification 2 of the flow of the motor control process. In the second modification, the motor control process after step S40 is different from that of the first modification. The feature of the motor control process according to the second modification is that the motor is maintained only when the pressing force P1 is larger than the predetermined pressing force PS when the output stage of the motor 3 is maintained in the intermediate output stage MN set in step S33. Increase the output (output stage). That is, when the output stage of the motor 3 is maintained in the intermediate output stage MN set in step S33, in order to increase the output stage of the motor 3, the first pressing operation unit 11 is larger than the predetermined pressing pressure PS. It is necessary to push with pushing pressure.

The predetermined pressing force PS is set to a value larger than the lower limit value of the pressing force output from the pressure sensor 11a and smaller than the upper limit value. When the lower limit value of the pressing force output from the pressure sensor 11a is 30 grams and the upper limit value is 2 kilograms, the predetermined pressing force PS is set in the range of, for example, 1 to 1.5 kilograms.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the motor output is maintained in the intermediate stage NM in step S40, and then the process proceeds to step S51.

In step S51, it is determined whether or not the pressing force P1 is larger than the predetermined pressing force PS. If it is determined that the pressing force P1 is larger than the predetermined pressing force PS, the process proceeds to step S52.

After shifting to step S52, the same motor control process as in step S4 and subsequent steps of the above embodiment is performed. Specifically, when it is determined in step S52 that the pressing force P1 is 2 kg or more, the process proceeds to step S12, and step N is set as step Nmax. If it is determined in step S52 that the pressing force P1 is less than 2 kg, the process proceeds to step S53.

In step S53, the motor output is increased. That is, the stage N is increased to a stage larger than the intermediate stage NM. Specifically, the intermediate step NM plus the step increase number M corresponding to the pressing force P1 is set as the step N. Alternatively, similarly to the motor control process in step S42 of the first modification, the pressure sensors 11a and 12a output the pressing force P1 corresponding to each stage from the NM + 1 stage to the Nmax stage, which is one step larger than the intermediate stage NM. The step corresponding to the pressing force P1 may be set as the step N by dividing the pressing force P1 from the predetermined pressing force PS within the range of the upper limit value.

If it is determined in step S51 that the pressing force P1 is equal to or less than the predetermined pressing force PS, the process proceeds to step S54 to determine whether or not the pressing force P2 is 30 g or more. If it is determined that the pressing force P2 is 30 g or more, the process proceeds to step S15. If it is determined that the pressing force P2 is less than 30 g, the process returns to step S51.

<Modification example 3>
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a modification 3 of the flow of the motor control process. In the second modification, the motor control process in step S3 is different from that of the embodiment. In the above embodiment, it is determined in step S3 whether or not the stage N is larger than the predetermined stage NS, but in the modified example 3, it is determined in step S3 whether or not the stage N is the intermediate stage NM or more. If the stage N is equal to or higher than the intermediate stage NM, the process proceeds to step S4, and if the stage N is less than the intermediate stage NM, the process proceeds to step S31. The flow of the motor control process other than that is the same as that of the above-described embodiment.

(A) The first and second pressing operation units 11 and 12 of the embodiment may protrude from the counter case 5. Alternatively, the seesaw switch may be configured to press the first pressing operation unit 11 and the second pressing operation unit 12.

(B) In the above embodiment, the motor output is adjusted by the two pressing operation units of the first pressing operation unit 11 and the second pressing operation unit 12, but for example, the output increase mode in which the motor output increases and the motor output are The motor output may be adjusted by providing one pressing operation unit capable of switching between the two modes of the reduced output reduction mode.

(C) The pressure sensors 11a and 12a may not be a single component such as a pressure sensitive element, but may output according to a minute displacement amount of a member pressed by a spring having a large spring constant.

(D) In the above embodiment, the rotation speed of the spool 2 is detected as the motor output and feedback control is performed. However, even if the current value supplied to the motor 3 is controlled so that the winding torque becomes a predetermined value. Good. Alternatively, the spool diameter of the spool 2 may be calculated and controlled so that the tension becomes a predetermined value.

(E) The control method for rotating the motor 3 in response to the electric signals output from the pressure sensors 11a and 12a in the above embodiment is controlled by a predetermined spool rotation speed or a predetermined torque value. It may be possible to arbitrarily select from the two.

(F) In the above embodiment, when the range of the lower limit value and the upper limit value of the pressing force output from the pressure sensors 11a and 12a is divided at an arbitrary stage, the range does not have to be divided evenly. For example, when the pressing force is small, that is, the range of pressing force corresponding to the stage where the number of increase and decrease of the motor output stage is low may be larger than the range of the high stage.

(G) In the above embodiment, the lower limit value and the upper limit value (for example, lower limit value 30 grams, upper limit value 2 kilograms) of the pressing force detected by the pressure sensors 11a and 12a are set in advance, but the lower limit value and the upper limit value are set. That is, the threshold value of the pressing force may be arbitrarily set by the angler. At this time, when the first and second pressing operation units 11 and 12 are operated with a pressing pressure equal to or higher than a predetermined value while the motor 3 is stopped, the mode may shift to the pressing pressure setting mode for setting the pressing pressure threshold value. ..

(H) In the above-described embodiment, it is determined whether or not the second pressing operation unit 12 is operated following the presence or absence of the operation of the first pressing operation unit 11, but the first and second pressing operation units 11 and 12 have been determined. The outputs from both the pressure sensors 11a and 12a may be compared, and the one with the larger output, that is, the one with the larger pressing pressure may be determined as an effective pressing operation.
