Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing reel in which an electric motor can be detachably connected to a hand-wound reel.

Fishing reels generally include hand-wound reels and electric reels with built-in electric motors. The present invention is a fishing reel intended to reduce the load on a fisherman by attaching a connecting member to a hand-wound reel so that the fishing line is wound up by an electric motor only when the fishing line is reeled in from deep water in sea fishing or the like. .

BACKGROUND ART An increasing number of people are enjoying sea fishing on recreational fishing boats. In a hand-wound reel, it is common to attach a fish hook to a jig (pseudo bait) or a weight, place the jig on the bottom of the sea, align a shelf with fish, and enjoy fishing. It is easy to wind up the fishing line with a normal hand-wound reel at a depth of about 30 m from the sea surface, but when the depth is 30 m to 100 m or more, the fishing line with a weight is pulled every time the point of the fishing spot is moved. It is necessary to hoist it, and for the fishermen, the physical strength necessary for hoisting is used, and sometimes they are tired and can not concentrate on fishing. Electric reels that use an electric motor for winding are also commercially available, but they are expensive and larger than hand-wound reels, making them difficult to handle.

In Patent Document 1, an electric motor is integrated with the hand-wound reel through a pulley and a belt to the rotating shaft of the handle of the hand-wound reel body, so the size and weight of the reel body increases when the yarn is wound up. It was difficult for anglers to handle.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

The present invention reduces physical exhaustion of an angler due to manual winding when hoisting a fishing line at a water depth of 30 m or more.

Effect of the invention

Since the reel body and the electric motor are attached to the outside of the reel, it is possible to use a small diameter spool with a large capacity for winding the fishing line as the spool, and it is also possible to use the electric motor to manually wind the fishing line. can also share the power transmission mechanism for rotating the spool in the winding direction via the handle shaft. Products can also be provided at low cost.

The front view of this invention. The front view which shows the disassembled state. The connecting member according to claim 2, which can easily separate the hand-wound reel main body and the external electric motor. The connecting member according to claim 3, wherein the length of intersection of the connecting portions is 5 to 10 mm. The connecting member according to claim 4, wherein the connecting portion has a screw shape. A structure in which the SW button in the reverse direction of claim 5 cannot be pressed. A structure provided with a sealing material capable of preventing water from entering the inside of the electric motor according to claim 6 . The connection member according to claim 7, wherein the cross section of the connection shape has a hexagonal or square shape.

A hand-wound reel for sea fishing is constructed as shown in FIG. (3), a handle lever (2) for rotating, and a handle (3) from its rotation center shaft (6) to a spool (5) for winding the thread through a gear structure inside the reel. ) is transmitted to the spool (5).
A screw (7) for fixing the handle lever (2) is provided at the center (6) of the rotation shaft of the handle lever (2), and the center of the rotation shaft is secured by the cap (4). (6) has a structure to fix the handle lever (2). The fixing cap (4) has a hexagonal portion on its external shape, and the angler can freely remove the fixing cap (4) with a tool such as a wrench.
The present invention focuses on the screw structure at the center of the rotating shaft (6) and the fixing cap (4) that can be easily removed by an angler with a wrench. Instead of the fixing cap (4), an external electric motor (9 ) to the rotating shaft center (6) of the handle lever (2) of the hand-wound reel, and the power motor (9) and the rotating shaft center (6) are freely detachable. With such a configuration, when a fish is hooked on the hook while the fishing line is being reeled in, the electric motor (9) can be immediately removed and the fish can be caught by the manual winding handle (3).

The connecting portion of the connecting member (8) and the electric motor (9) rotates the connecting member (8) by the force in the rotating direction of the electric motor, and rotates in the direction parallel to the rotation shaft center (6) of the handle lever (2). It has a free structure without a lock or the like, and if the line is entangled with another angler while hoisting the fishing line or if a fish is caught, the hand-wound reel body and the electric motor (9) can be immediately pulled because there is no lock structure. ) can be separated, so it can be operated only with a normal hand-wound reel body.

If the coupling length between the connecting member and the electric motor (9) is 5 mm or less, it is easy to separate. You could say it's length. This connecting portion is of a shape that may be provided as an integral shape directly on the fixing cap (4). (Fig. 4)

When the fixing cap (4) that fixes the handle lever (2) is removed, there is a rotating shaft that transmits the rotational force to the take-up spool on the line of the rotating shaft center (6), and the fixing cap ( 4) is provided with a screw structure to hold. There are two types of this screw, a male thread system (7) and a female thread system (8), and they differ depending on each manufacturer and model, but the connecting member of the present invention is the connection part with the hand-wound reel body (1). The cross-sectional shape of the connecting member that connects with the electric motor (9) is equipped with a screw structure of a male screw system or a female screw system, and is structured to fix the handle lever like the fixing cap (4). A hexagonal or square shape is desirable so that the torque of the electric motor (9) can be easily and reliably transmitted.

The electric motor (9) has a shaft and forward (clockwise) and reverse (counterclockwise) buttons, allowing it to rotate in both directions. However, the reel handle can only be rotated in one direction (clockwise) to reel in the line. It has a built-in clutch function that prevents the handle from rotating in the opposite direction (counterclockwise), and will break if the allowable force is exceeded. Claim 5 is characterized in that an erroneous operation prevention tool is provided so as not to press the reversing button of the electric motor (9) in order to prevent damage due to the above erroneous operation.

Furthermore, since there is a gap around the forward rotation and reverse rotation buttons of the electric motor 9, a liquid such as seawater enters the inside of the electric motor. there is a possibility. According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, a sealing member such as silicone rubber is wound around the outer periphery of the electric motor in order to prevent liquid such as seawater from entering. Also, by thinning the sealing member above the forward rotation button, only the forward rotation button can be pushed from above the seal.

The connecting member (8) of the present invention is made by cutting metal to form a hexagonal shape and a threaded portion, but the production cost is high because the shaft is rotated six times. According to the eighth aspect, the hexagonal shaft portion connected to the electric driver can be injection-molded or welded with resin to provide a connecting member with reduced cost.
