In the electric reel of Patent Document 1, especially when adjusting the rotation speed of the motor according to the pull of the fish, depending on the angler's posture of gripping the reel, the position of the fingers, etc., a pressing force more than intended is generated. , the rotation speed of the motor may increase to a speed higher than the angler's assumption. In order to prevent this, in the electric reel of Patent Document 2, an intermediate output is set so that the motor outputs only up to the intermediate output with one press. However, in this case, there is a risk of unintentionally increasing the output to the maximum output in the range above the intermediate output for exchanging (fighting) with the fish.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to prevent an increase in motor output beyond what an angler expects in a motor control device for an electric reel.

A motor control device for an electric reel according to one aspect of the present invention drives a spool rotatably mounted on a reel body with a motor. The motor control device includes a first pressing section and a motor control section. The first pressing portion is provided on the reel body so as to be pressed. The motor control unit increases the output of the motor according to at least one of a first pressing force for pressing the first pressing portion and a pressing time for pressing the first pressing portion. If the pressing operation on the first pressing portion is an operation in which the output of the motor is less than the first intermediate output and exceeds the first intermediate output, the motor control portion continues until the pressing operation on the first pressing portion is stopped. Limiting the output of the motor to a first intermediate output. The motor control unit is configured such that the pressing operation to the first pressing portion is an operation in which the output of the motor exceeds a second intermediate output from a state in which the output of the motor is equal to or greater than a first intermediate output and less than a second intermediate output between the first intermediate output and the maximum output. If so, the output of the motor is limited to the second intermediate output until the pressing operation on the first pressing portion is stopped.

In this electric reel motor control device, if the output of the motor is less than the first intermediate output, the output of the motor does not increase beyond the first intermediate output even if the first pressing portion is pressed. Therefore, when the output of the motor is less than the first intermediate output, for example, even if the first pressing portion is pressed with a pressing force greater than intended, the output of the motor is limited so as not to exceed the first intermediate output. be. As a result, it is possible to prevent the output of the motor from increasing beyond the angler's expectations.

Further, when the output of the motor is equal to or higher than the first intermediate output and lower than the second intermediate output, even if the first pressing portion is pressed, the output of the motor does not increase to the second intermediate output or higher. Therefore, when the output of the motor is changed within the range of the first intermediate output or more and less than the second intermediate output in accordance with the pull of the fish, even if the first pressing portion is pressed with a pressing force greater than intended, for example, , the power of the motor is limited so that it does not exceed the second intermediate power. That is, it is possible to prevent the output of the motor from reaching near the maximum output. As a result, when the output of the motor is changed in accordance with the pull of the fish, it is possible to prevent the fishing line from being cut and the electric reel to be subjected to a large load to operate the breaker.

The motor control unit may maintain the output of the motor at the first intermediate output if the pressing operation on the first pressing portion is stopped in a state where the output of the motor is limited to the first intermediate output. When the first pressing portion is pressed in a state in which the pressing operation to the first pressing portion is stopped and the output of the motor is maintained at the first intermediate output, the motor control portion reduces the output of the motor to the first level. It may be increased more than the intermediate output. In this case, restarting the pressing operation increases the output of the motor above the first intermediate output, so that it is possible to effectively prevent the output of the motor from increasing more than expected by the angler.

The motor control section may maintain the output of the motor at the second intermediate output if the pressing operation on the first pressing portion is stopped in a state where the output of the motor is limited to the second intermediate output. When the first pressing portion is pressed in a state where the pressing operation to the first pressing portion is stopped and the output of the motor is maintained at the second intermediate output, the motor control portion increases the output of the motor to the above-described second pressing portion. It may be increased more than 2 intermediate outputs. In this case, restarting the pressing operation increases the output of the motor above the second intermediate output, so that it is possible to effectively prevent the output of the motor from increasing more than expected by the angler.

The motor control unit reduces the output of the motor from the second intermediate output according to the first pressing force if the first pressing unit is pressed while the output of the motor is maintained at the second intermediate output. is also increased, and if the pressing operation on the first pressing portion is stopped in a state where the output of the motor exceeds the second intermediate output, the output of the motor is decreased to the second intermediate output. good. In this case, the output of the motor can be adjusted by an intuitive operation.

In the adjustment control, the motor control unit may increase the output of the motor as the first pressing force increases, and decrease the output of the motor to the second intermediate output as the first pressing force decreases. In this case, the output of the motor can be adjusted with a more intuitive operation.

The motor control device may further include a notification unit that notifies execution of the adjustment control by the motor control unit. In this case, it is possible to easily recognize that the adjustment control is being executed.

If the output of the motor when the pressing operation on the first pressing portion is stopped is equal to or lower than the second intermediate output, the motor control portion controls the output of the motor when the pressing operation on the first pressing portion is stopped. may be maintained. In this case, it becomes easier to adjust the motor output.

The motor control device may further include a second pressing portion provided on the reel body so as to be pressed. The motor control unit reduces the output of the motor in accordance with the second pressing force for pressing the second pressing portion and the pressing time for pressing the second pressing portion, and the pressing operation on the second pressing portion is stopped. You may maintain the output of the motor when In this case, it becomes easier to adjust the motor output.

The motor control device may further include a first operating section provided on the reel body. The motor control section may control the output of the motor step by step from the stopped state to the maximum output. The motor control section can set a first output stage corresponding to the first intermediate output and a second output stage corresponding to the second intermediate output to arbitrary output stages according to the operation of the first operation section. may The motor controller controls the first power stage when the first power stage is set to a greater power stage than the second power stage or when the second power stage is set to a lesser power stage than the first power stage. The stage and the second output stage may be interchanged. In this case, it is possible to prevent the first output stage from being set to a higher output stage than the second output stage.

The motor control device may further include a second operating section provided on the reel body. The motor control section may control the output of the motor step by step from the stopped state to the maximum output. When the motor is driven at an output lower than the first intermediate output, the motor control device may change the first output stage corresponding to the preset first intermediate output in accordance with the operation of the second operation unit. good. When the motor is driven at an output equal to or greater than the first intermediate output and less than the second intermediate output, the motor control device sets a second output stage corresponding to a preset second intermediate output to the operation of the second operation unit. may be changed accordingly. In this case, the set value of the first output stage or the set value of the second output stage can be easily changed while the motor is running.

The motor control unit stops the output of the motor when the fishing line let out from the spool reaches the stop line length, and preliminarily changes the first output stage and the second output stage changed by the operation of the second operation unit. It may be reset to the set first power stage and second power stage. In this case, operability is improved.

A program according to another aspect of the present invention provides a motor control device for an electric reel that drives a spool rotatably mounted on a reel body having a pressing portion to be pressed by a motor. and a process of increasing the output of the motor according to at least one of the pressing time of pressing the pressing portion, and the operation of pressing the pressing portion from the state where the output of the motor is less than the first intermediate output to the operation exceeding the first intermediate output. Then, a process of limiting the output of the motor to the first intermediate output until the pressing operation on the pressing portion is stopped, and a process of limiting the output of the motor to the first intermediate output until the pressing operation on the first pressing portion is performed so that the output of the motor is equal to or higher than the first intermediate output and the first If the operation exceeds the second intermediate output from the state of less than the second intermediate output between one intermediate output and the maximum output, the output of the motor is limited to the second intermediate output until the pressing operation to the pressing portion is stopped. process.

According to the present invention, in the motor control device for the electric reel, it is possible to prevent the output of the motor from increasing more than expected by the angler.

The handle 4 is rotatably supported by the first side cover 7 .

The counter case 5 is arranged above the reel body 1 . A counter case 5 is fixed to a frame 6 . The counter case 5 is provided with a display section 10 having a liquid crystal display, a first pressing section 11, a second pressing section 12, and first to third operation sections 13-15. The first to third operation sections 13 to 15 are mainly used when various settings of the electric reel 100 are made. The first to third operating parts 13 to 15 are pressed. The first to third operation units 13 to 15 may be touch panels provided on the display unit 10. FIG. Inside the counter case 5, a control unit 16 (see FIG. 2) that performs various controls is accommodated.

The first pressing portion 11 and the second pressing portion 12 are provided on the reel body 1 so as to be pressed. The first pressing portion 11 has a pressure sensor 11a. The pressure sensor 11a outputs a detection value corresponding to the magnitude of the pressing force (hereinafter referred to as first pressing force) that presses the first pressing portion 11 to the motor control portion 17 as an electric signal. The second pressing portion 12 has a pressure sensor 12a. The pressure sensor 12a sends a detection value corresponding to the magnitude of the pressing force (hereinafter referred to as the second pressing force) that presses the second pressing portion 12 to the motor control portion 17 as an electric signal. Output.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the control unit 16 has, as functional configurations, a motor control unit 17 that controls the motor 3 and a display control unit 18 that controls the display unit 10 . The motor control unit 17 controls the output of the motor 3 (hereinafter referred to as motor output).

The first pressing portion 11, the second pressing portion 12, and the first to third operating portions 13 to 15 are connected to the control portion 16. As shown in FIG. A display unit 10 , a spool sensor 20 for detecting the rotation speed and rotation direction of the spool 2 , and a storage unit 21 are connected to the control unit 16 . The storage unit 21 is, for example, a non-volatile memory, and stores various setting information of the electric reel 100 such as shelf position information and boat edge stop position information.

The motor control unit 17 controls the motor output step by step from the stopped state to the maximum output. The motor control unit 17 increases the motor output (for example, the rotational speed of the motor 3) according to at least one of the first pressing force and the pressing time for pressing the first pressing portion 11 . The motor control unit 17 reduces the motor output (for example, the rotational speed of the motor 3) according to at least one of the second pressing force and the pressing time for pressing the second pressing portion 12 . The motor control unit 17 in this embodiment increases the motor output according to the first pressing force and decreases the motor output according to the second pressing force. The motor control section 17 maintains the motor output when the pressing operation on the first pressing section 11 is stopped. The motor control section 17 maintains the motor output when the pressing operation to the second pressing section 12 is stopped.

The motor control unit 17 stops the pressing operation on the first pressing portion 11 if the pressing operation on the first pressing portion 11 is an operation in which the motor output exceeds the first intermediate output from a state in which the motor output is less than the first intermediate output. until the motor output is limited to the first intermediate output. The first intermediate output is any output that is greater than the standstill output and less than the maximum output. Note that the motor control unit 17 performs the pressing operation to the first pressing portion 11 if the pressing operation to the first pressing portion 11 is an operation in which the motor output changes from a state of less than the first intermediate output to the first intermediate output or more. may limit the motor output to the first intermediate output until is stopped.

If the pressing operation to the first pressing portion 11 is the operation in which the motor output exceeds the second intermediate output from the state where the motor output is equal to or more than the first intermediate output and less than the second intermediate output, the motor control portion 17 presses the first pressing portion 11. The output of the motor is limited to the second intermediate output until the pressing operation of is stopped. A second intermediate output is any output between the first intermediate output and the maximum output. Note that if the pressing operation to the first pressing portion 11 is an operation in which the motor output changes from the first intermediate output or more and the second intermediate output to less than the second intermediate output to the second intermediate output or more, the first pressing portion 17 The output of the motor may be limited to the second intermediate output until the pressing operation on the portion 11 is stopped.

The motor control unit 17 maintains the motor output at the first intermediate output if the pressing operation on the first pressing unit 11 is stopped while the motor output is limited to the first intermediate output. When the first pressing portion 11 is pressed while the pressing operation on the first pressing portion 11 is stopped and the motor output is maintained at the first intermediate output, the motor control portion 17 increases the motor output to the first pressing portion 11 . 1 Increase more than intermediate output.

<Motor control processing>
Next, an example of the flow of motor control processing performed by the motor control section 17 of the control section 16 when the electric reel 100 is powered on will be described with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS. Here, the motor output is adjusted in steps from 0 to Nmax (Nmax+1 steps). The 0 stage is a state in which the motor 3 is stopped, and the Nmax stage is a state in which the motor 3 is driven at its maximum output. The motor output is adjusted, for example, in 31 steps.

Also, here, the lower limit and upper limit of the pressing force output from the pressure sensors 11a and 12a (for example, the lower limit of 30 grams and the upper limit of 2 kg) are set. Then, the range between the lower limit value and the upper limit value is divided into arbitrary stages (for example, equally divided into 31), and the number of increases and the number of decreases of the motor output stages corresponding to each stage are set. It should be noted that it is preferable to set the number of increments and decrements of the motor output steps to increase as the pressing force increases.

Further, the motor 3 is controlled by the PWM method here, and the maximum output is a duty ratio of 100%. The motor output is the rotational speed of the motor 3, for example. In this case, when the rotation speed of the spool 2 is lowered due to the load, 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 force P1 for pressing the first pressing portion 11 is 30 g or more. Specifically, for example, by detecting the output from the pressure sensor 11a of the first pressing portion 11, it is determined whether or not the first pressing portion 11 is pressed with a pressing force of 30 g or more. If only an output of the first pressing force P1 of less than 30 g is detected, the output is ignored assuming that the first pressing portion 11 is not being pressed in order to avoid erroneous operation. Here, for example, a resistive film type pressure sensor is used, and the circuit is configured so that the output voltage is proportional to the pressing force.

When it is determined in step S1 that the first 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 the stage N is greater than or equal to the first output stage NM1 corresponding to the first intermediate output. The first output stage NM1 is preferably a stage in the range of stages 5-15, for example. The first output stage NM1 is set to stage 10, for example.

If it is determined in step S3 that the stage N is greater than or equal to the first output stage NM1, the process proceeds to step S4. If it is determined in step S3 that the stage N is less than the first output stage NM1, 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 stage N is greater than or equal to the second output stage NM2 corresponding to the second intermediate output. The second output stage NM2 is preferably a stage in the range of stages 15-25, for example. The second output stage NM2 is set to stage 20, for example.

If it is determined in step S4 that the stage N is equal to or greater than the second output stage NM2, the process proceeds to step S5. If it is determined in step S5 that the stage N is less than the second output stage NM2, the process proceeds to step S41 shown in FIG. Details after step S41 will be described later.

In step S5, it is determined whether or not the first pressing force P1 is less than 2 kg. When it is determined in step S5 that the first pressing force P1 is equal to or greater than 2 kg, the process proceeds to step S13, 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 S11 to maintain the motor output at the stage Nmax.

When the first pressing portion 11 is pressed with the first pressing force P1 of 2 kg or more while the motor output is maintained at the stage Nmax, the process proceeds to step S12. Since the motor output is maintained, as a result, the motor output continues to be maintained at the stage Nmax.

If it is determined in step S5 that the first pressing force P1 is less than 2 kg, the process proceeds to step S6 to read out from the storage unit 21 the stepwise increase number M preset for the output of the pressure sensor 11a.

In step S7, it is determined whether or not the sum of the step N and the step increase number M is less than Nmax. When it is less than Nmax, the process proceeds to step S8, and N+M is set as the stage N. That is, the motor output is increased to N+M steps. Specifically, for example, when the motor output is in stage 22 and the first pressing portion 11 is pressed with a first pressing force P1 of 300 g to 400 g, the pressure is set in advance corresponding to the range of the first pressing force P1. The stage N is set to 24, which is the number of increments of 2 added. After that, the process proceeds to step S9.

If it is determined in step S7 that the sum of the current step N and the step increase number M is equal to or greater than Nmax, the step moves to step S12, and the step one step below the step Nmax is set as the step N. . That is, unless the first pressing force P1 applied to the first pressing portion 11 exceeds 2 kg, the stage N does not reach the stage Nmax. After that, the process proceeds to step S9.

In step S9, the process waits for 0.5 seconds, for example, and proceeds to step S10.

In step S10, similarly to step S1, it is determined whether or not the first pressing force P1 is 30 g or more. That is, it is determined whether or not the first pressing portion 11 is continuously pressed with the first pressing force P1 of 30 g or more. If the first pressing portion 11 is pressed with the first pressing force P1 of 30 g or more, the process returns to step S2. If the first pressing portion 11 is not pressed with the first pressing force P1 of 30 g or more, the process proceeds to step S11, and the motor output is maintained at the stage N set in step S8 or step S12.

When it is determined in step S1 that the first pressing force P1 is less than 30 g, the process proceeds to step S14.

In step S14, it is determined whether or not the second pressing force P2 for pressing the second pressing portion 12 is 30 g or more based on the output from the pressure sensor 12a. When only an output of the second pressing force P2 of less than 30 g is detected, the output is ignored assuming that the second pressing portion 12 has not been pressed in order to avoid erroneous operation.

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

In step S15, it is determined whether or not the second pressing force P2 is less than 2 kg. When the second pressing force P2 is 2 kg or more, the process proceeds to step S24, and the level N is changed to 0. That is, the driving of the motor 3 is stopped.

When it is determined in step S16 that the second pressing force P2 is less than 2 kg, the process proceeds to step S17 and step N is read. After that, the process proceeds to step S18.

In step S18, the stepwise reduction number L preset for the output of the pressure sensor 12a is read out from the storage unit 21, and the process proceeds to step S19.

In step S19, it is determined whether or not the value obtained by subtracting the step reduction number L from the step N is 1 or more. If the step N minus the step reduction number L is 1 or more, the process proceeds to step S20, and NL is set as the step N. That is, the motor output is reduced to the NL stage. After that, the process moves to step S21.

In step S19, if the result obtained by subtracting the step reduction number L from the step N is less than 1, the step moves to step S23 and the step N is changed to 1. After that, the process moves to step S21.

In step S21, the process waits for 0.5 second, for example, and proceeds to step S22.

In step S22, similarly to step S14, it is determined whether or not the second pressing force P2 is 30 g or more. That is, it is determined whether or not the second pressing portion 12 is continuously pressed with the second pressing force P2 of 30 g or more. If the second pressing portion 12 is pressed with the second pressing force P2 of 30 g or more, the process returns to step S16. If the second pressing portion 12 is not pressed with the second pressing force P2 of 30 g or more, the process proceeds to step S11, and the motor output is maintained at the stage N set in step S20 or step S23.

Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the flow of motor control processing when it is determined in step S3 that the stage N is less than the first output stage NM1 will be described. If it is determined in step S3 that the stage N is less than the first output stage NM1, the process proceeds to step S31.

In step S31, the number M of increments set in advance for the output of the pressure sensor 11a is read out from the storage unit 21. As shown in FIG. After that, the process proceeds to step S32.

In step S32, it is determined whether or not the step N plus the step increase number M is greater than the first output step NM1. If the step N plus the step increase number M is greater than the first output step NM1, the process proceeds to step S33.

In step S33, the first output stage NM1 is set as stage N. That is, here the motor output is limited to the first power stage NM1 so that the stage N does not exceed the first power stage NM1. After that, the process proceeds to step S34.

In step S34, the process waits for 0.5 second, for example, and proceeds to step S35.

In step S35, similarly to step S10, it is determined whether or not the first pressing portion 11 is continuously pressed with the first pressing force P1 of 30 g or more. If the first pressing portion 11 is not pressed with the first pressing force P1 of 30 g or more, the process proceeds to step S11, and the motor output is maintained at the first output stage NM1. If the first pressing portion 11 is pressed with the first pressing force P1 of 30 g or more, the process returns to step S33. That is, even if the first pressing portion 11 continues to be pressed with the first pressing force P1 of 30 g or more, the motor output is maintained at the first output stage NM1.

If the step N plus the step increase number M is equal to or smaller than the first output step NM1 in step S32, the process proceeds to step S36, and the step N plus the step increase number M is set as a new step N. do. After that, the process proceeds to step S9.

In step S32, it may be determined whether or not the sum of the step N and the step increase number M is equal to or greater than the first output step NM1. That is, if it is determined in step S32 that the step N plus the step increase number M is equal to or greater than the first output step NM1, the process proceeds to step S33, where the step N plus the step increase number M is the first output step. If it is determined to be less than one output step NM1, the process may proceed to step S36.

Next, with reference to FIG. 5, the flow of motor control processing when it is determined in step S4 that the stage N is less than the second output stage NM2 will be described. If it is determined in step S4 that the stage N is less than the second output stage NM2, the process proceeds to step S41.

In step S41, the stepwise increase number M preset for the output of the pressure sensor 11a is read out from the storage unit 21. FIG. After that, the process proceeds to step S42.

In step S42, it is determined whether or not the step N plus the step increase number M is greater than the second output step NM2. If the step N plus the step increase number M is greater than the second output step NM2, the process proceeds to step S43.

In step S43, the second output stage NM2 is set as stage N. That is, here the motor output is limited to the second power stage NM2 so that the stage N does not exceed the second power stage NM2. After that, the process proceeds to step S44.

In step S44, the process waits for 0.5 second, for example, and proceeds to step S35.

In step S45, similarly to step S10, it is determined whether or not the first pressing portion 11 is continuously pressed with the first pressing force P1 of 30 g or more. If the first pressing portion 11 is not pressed with the first pressing force P1 of 30 g or more, the process proceeds to step S11, and the motor output is maintained at the second output stage NM2. If the first pressing portion 11 is pressed with the first pressing force P1 of 30 g or more, the process returns to step S43. That is, even if the first pressing portion 11 continues to be pressed with the first pressing force P1 of 30 g or more, the motor output is maintained at the second output stage NM2.

If the step N plus the step increase number M is equal to or smaller than the second output step NM2 in step S42, the process proceeds to step S46, and the step N plus the step increase number M is set as a new step N. do. After that, the process proceeds to step S9.

In step S42, it may be determined whether or not the sum of the step N and the step increase number M is equal to or greater than the second output step NM2. That is, if it is determined in step S42 that the step N plus the step increase number M is equal to or greater than the second output step NM2, the process proceeds to step S43, where step N plus the step increase number M is the second output step. If it is determined to be less than 2 output levels NM2, the process may proceed to step S46.

As described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the motor control section 17 has characteristics schematically shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, the horizontal axis indicates the first pressing force P1, and the vertical axis indicates the stage N. As shown in FIG. A dashed line C1 shows the characteristic in which the motor power is limited to the first power stage NM1. A dashed line C2 shows the characteristic in which the motor power is limited to the second power stage NM2.

The motor control unit 17 can set the first output stage NM<b>1 and the second output stage NM<b>2 to arbitrary output stages according to the operation of the first operation unit 13 . A method for setting the first output level NM1 is to switch to the mode for setting the first output level NM1 by operating the first operation unit 13, for example, when the motor output is in a stopped state. At this time, the display control unit 18 causes the display unit 10 to display the mode for setting the first output stage NM1. Then, for example, by pressing the second operation part 14 or the third operation part 15 to select the first output stage NM1 at any stage, and operating the first operation part 13 again, the first output stage NM1 is set to the selected stage. The second output stage NM2 is set by operating the first operation unit 13 to switch to the setting mode for the second output stage NM2, and then performing the same setting as for the first output stage NM1.

When the first power stage NM1 is set to a power stage larger than the second power stage NM2, or when the second power stage NM2 is set to a power stage smaller than the first power stage NM1, the motor control unit 17 First, the first output stage NM1 and the second output stage NM2 are interchanged. For example, when the first output stage NM1 is set to stage 10 and the second output stage NM2 is set to stage 20, and the first output stage NM1 is set to stage 10 to stage 25, the second output stage NM2 is identified as stage 25 and stage 20 is identified as first output stage NM1. That is, the motor controller 17 controls the set value of the first output stage NM1 and the set value of the second output stage NM2 so that the first output stage NM1 is always smaller than the second output stage NM2.

The motor control unit 17 changes the preset first output stage NM1 according to the operation of the first operation unit 13 or the second operation unit 14 when the motor 3 is driven with an output lower than the first intermediate output. do. When the motor 3 is driven at an output equal to or greater than the first intermediate output and less than the second intermediate output, the motor control unit 17 sets the preset second output level NM2 to the first operation unit 13 or the second operation unit 14. change according to the operation of

Specifically, when the motor 3 is driven at an output stage less than the first output stage NM1, the motor control section 17 decreases the first output stage NM1 by one stage each time the first operation section 13 is operated. , and the first output step NM1 is increased by one step each time the second operation unit 14 is operated. The motor control unit 17 sets the second output stage NM2 to 1 each time the first operation unit 13 is operated when the motor 3 is driven at an output stage equal to or greater than the first output stage NM1 and less than the second output stage NM2. The second output level NM2 is increased by one level each time the second operation unit 14 is operated. The motor control unit 17 increases the first output level NM1 by one step each time the first operation unit 13 is operated, and increases the first output level NM1 by one step each time the second operation unit 14 is operated. You may control so that it may decrease one by one. The same is true for the second output stage NM2.

The motor control unit 17 stops the motor output when the fishing line let out from the spool 2 reaches the stop line length, and the first output changed by the operation of the first operation unit 13 or the second operation unit 14. The stage NM1 and the second output stage NM2 are reset to the preset first output stage NM1 and second output stage NM2. The stop line length is a line length that stops the motor output, and is set at a position where, for example, a tackle attached to the fishing line can easily catch the line. The motor control unit 17 sets, for example, the yarn length when the third operation unit 15 is pressed for a long time as the stop yarn length.

In the electric reel 100, if the motor output stage N is less than the first output stage NM1, the motor output stage N is increased to the first output stage NM1 or more even if the first pressing portion 11 is pressed. do not. For this reason, when the motor output is less than the first output stage NM1, even if the first pressing portion 11 is pressed with a first pressing force greater than intended, for example, the motor output is prevented from exceeding the first output stage NM1. is limited to As a result, it is possible to prevent the motor output from increasing beyond the angler's expectations.

Further, if the stage N of the motor output is equal to or greater than the first output stage NM1 and less than the second output stage NM2, even if the first pressing portion 11 is pressed, the motor output increases to the second output stage NM2 or more. do not. Therefore, when the motor output is changed within the range of the first output stage NM1 or more and the second output stage NM2 or less in accordance with the pull of the fish, the first pressing portion 11 presses with a first pressing force greater than intended, for example. Even if operated, the motor output is limited so as not to exceed the second output stage NM2. That is, it is possible to prevent the motor output from reaching near the maximum output. As a result, when the motor output is changed in accordance with the pull of the fish, it is possible to prevent the fishing line from being cut and the electric reel 100 from being subjected to a large load and operating the breaker.

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

FIG. 7 shows the characteristic C3 of the adjustment control mode of the motor control process according to the modification. In the modified example, the motor control processing performed by the motor control section 17 differs from the above embodiment in the range from the second output stage NM2 to the stage Nmax. Other than that, it is the same as the above embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 7, in the adjustment control mode, the first pressing portion 11 is pressed while the output stage of the motor 3 is maintained at the second intermediate output (here, the second output stage NM2). If the motor output is increased above the second intermediate output according to the first pressing force P1, and the pressing operation on the first pressing portion 11 is stopped while the motor output exceeds the second intermediate output, , is a control mode in which the motor output is reduced to a second intermediate output.

In the adjustment control mode, the motor control unit 17 increases the motor output as the first pressing force P1 increases, and decreases the motor output to the second intermediate output as the first pressing force P1 decreases.

In the adjustment control mode, the output level of the motor 3 increases from the second output level NM2 according to the first pressing force P1 only while the first pressing part 11 is being pressed, and the first pressing part 11 If no pressing operation is performed, the motor output is reduced to the second intermediate output, and the output stage of the motor 3 is maintained at the second output stage NM2.

The motor control unit 17 cancels the adjustment control mode when the output level of the motor 3 decreases below the second output level NM2 in response to the pressing operation of the second pressing part 12 during the adjustment control mode.

As shown in FIG. 8, the display control unit 18 causes the display unit 10 (an example of the notification unit) to display that the motor output is being controlled in the adjustment control mode. During execution of the addition/subtraction control mode, the display control unit 18 causes the display unit 10 to display, for example, Boost. The display control unit 18 terminates the display of Boost from the display unit 10 when the addition/subtraction control mode is canceled. Note that the notification means for notifying the execution of the adjustment control may be other means such as light, sound, or vibration.

In the modified example, the adjustment control mode is executed in the range from the second output stage NM2 to the stage Nmax. However, a moderate control mode may be implemented, for example, in the range from the first power stage NM1 to the second power stage NM2. In this case, the maximum power step in the moderate control mode is the second power step NM2. That is, in the addition/decrease control mode, the upper limit of the output level may be provided. After reaching the second output stage NM2, the same motor control process as in the above embodiment is executed. It should be noted that the maximum power step in the moderate control mode may be a power step smaller than the step Nmax and different from the second power step NM2.

The arrangement of the first pressing portion 11 and the second pressing portion 12 may be exchanged with each other. Alternatively, the functions of the first pressing portion 11 and the second pressing portion 12 may be switched according to the operation of the first to third operation portions 13 to 15 .

In the above-described embodiment, the motor output is adjusted by the two pressing portions, the first pressing portion 11 and the second pressing portion 12. However, for example, an output increase mode in which the motor output increases and an output decrease mode in which the motor output decreases. The motor output may be adjusted by providing one pressing portion capable of switching between two modes.

The pressure sensors 11a and 12a may not be single components such as pressure-sensitive elements, but may be those that output according to minute displacement amounts of members pressed by springs with a large spring constant.

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

In the above embodiment, the control method for rotating the motor 3 according to the electrical signals output from the pressure sensors 11a and 12a is to control at a predetermined spool rotation speed or at a predetermined torque value, You may enable it to select arbitrarily from two.

In the above-described embodiment, when the range between the lower limit value and the upper limit value of the pressing force output from the pressure sensors 11a and 12a is divided at arbitrary stages, the range need not be divided evenly. The pressing force range corresponding to a step with a low number of step increments and step decrements of the output step of the motor 3 may be made larger than the range of a high step.

In the above embodiment, the lower and upper limits of the pressing force detected by the pressure sensors 11a and 12a (for example, lower limit of 30 grams and upper limit of 2 kg) are set in advance. The angler may arbitrarily set the pressure threshold. At this time, when the motor 3 is stopped and the first pressing portion 11 and the second pressing portion 12 are operated with a predetermined pressing force or more, the mode may be changed to a pressing force setting mode for setting the pressing force threshold value. .

In the above embodiment, the presence or absence of operation of the second pressing portion 12 is determined after the presence or absence of operation of the first pressing portion 11. , that is, the one with the greater pressing force may be determined as an effective pressing operation.

A program for realizing the motor control processing of the motor control unit 17 described above is recorded in a computer-readable recording medium, and the program recorded in the recording medium is executed by, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit). A motor control process may be performed.
