JP 2021-016316 A

In Patent Document 1, after the output of the motor is limited to the intermediate output, the output of the motor is adjusted by pressing the first pressing portion and the second pressing portion. When an angler adjusts the motor output in response to the pull of a fish, the motor output is often changed to an intermediate output or higher. For this reason, it is preferable that the output of the motor can be flexibly adjusted according to the pull of the fish when the output of the motor is after the intermediate output.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a motor control device for an electric reel that can adjust the output of a motor with an intermediate output or higher according to circumstances.

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. The motor control unit increases the output of the motor from the intermediate output in accordance with the first pressing force if the first pressing portion is pressed in a state in which the output of the motor is an intermediate output or more that is less than the maximum output. When the pressing operation to the first pressing portion is stopped, adjustment control is performed to reduce the output of the motor to an intermediate output.

In this electric reel motor control device, in a state where the output of the motor is the intermediate output or higher, the output of the motor can be adjusted according to the pressing operation on the first pressing portion, and the pressing operation on the first pressing portion can be performed. is stopped, the output of the motor is maintained at the intermediate output, so the output of the motor above the intermediate output can be flexibly adjusted. In addition, in a state where the output of the motor is above the intermediate output, 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 second pressing portion provided on the reel body so as to be pressed. The motor control unit may reduce the output of the motor according to a second pressing force for pressing the second pressing portion and a pressing time for pressing the second pressing portion. In this case, it is possible to prevent the motor output from increasing more than expected by the angler, and the motor output can be easily adjusted.

If the pressing operation on the first pressing portion is an operation in which the output of the motor is less than the intermediate output and exceeds the intermediate output, the motor control unit outputs the motor until the pressing operation on the first pressing portion is stopped. is limited to an intermediate output, and if the output of the motor when the pressing operation of the first pressing portion is stopped is equal to or lower than the intermediate output, the output of the motor when the pressing operation on the first pressing portion is stopped is maintained. You may In this case, it becomes easier to adjust the motor output.

The upper limit output of the motor in the adjustment control may be set to be smaller than the maximum output of the motor. In this case, it is possible to prevent the output of the motor from increasing beyond the angler's expectations.

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.

The motor control device may further include an 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. If the motor is driven with an output less than the intermediate output, the motor control unit may change the set value of the output stage corresponding to the intermediate output according to the operation of the operation unit. In this case, the set value of the output stage corresponding to the intermediate output can be easily changed while the motor is running.

The motor control unit stops the output of the motor when the fishing line drawn out from the spool reaches the stop line length, and presets the set value of the output stage corresponding to the intermediate output changed by the operation of the operation unit. may be reset to the default settings. In this case, operability is improved.

The motor control device may further include a pressure sensor that detects the first pressing force. In the adjustment control, the motor control unit controls the output of the motor step by step in a range from a step one step higher than the step corresponding to the intermediate output to a step corresponding to the maximum output according to the first pressing force. good too. The first pressing force corresponding to each step from the step one step larger than the step corresponding to the intermediate output to the step corresponding to the maximum output is the range from the lower limit value to the upper limit value of the first pressing force detected by the pressure sensor. may be divided by In this case, the power stage of the motor can be adjusted quickly and easily.

A program according to another aspect of the present invention provides a motor control device for an electric reel that uses a motor to drive a spool rotatably mounted on a reel body having a pressing portion. In this state, if the pressing portion is being pressed, the output of the motor is increased above the intermediate output in response to the pressing operation on the pressing portion, and if the pressing operation of the first pressing portion is stopped, the output of the motor is increased. Execute the process of decreasing to the intermediate output.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a motor control device for an electric reel that can flexibly adjust the output of a motor with an intermediate output or higher.

An electric reel 100 that employs an embodiment of the present invention is an electric reel that is motor-driven by electric power supplied from an external power source, as shown in FIG.

The electric reel 100 includes a reel body 1, a spool 2, a motor 3, a handle 4, a counter case 5, a first pressing portion 11, a second pressing portion 12, and a motor control portion 17. . The first pressing section 11, the second pressing section 12, and the motor control section 17 constitute a part of the motor control device.

The reel body 1 includes a frame 6, a first side cover 7 covering one side of the frame 6, a second side cover 8 covering the other side of the frame 6, a front cover (not shown) covering the front portion of the frame 6, have. Inside the reel body 1, a level wind mechanism (not shown) that operates in conjunction with the spool 2, a rotation transmission mechanism (not shown) that transmits the rotation of the motor 3 and the handle 4 to the spool 2, and the like are arranged.

The spool 2 is arranged inside the reel body 1 . The spool 2 is rotatably mounted on the reel body 1 between the first side cover 7 and the second side cover 8 .

The motor 3 is arranged inside the reel body 1 . The motor 3 is PWM-controlled by the motor control section 17 and rotates the spool 2 in the line winding direction according to the pressing operations of the first pressing section 11 and the second pressing section 12 .

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.

If the first pressing portion 11 is pressed in a state where the motor output is less than the maximum output and above the intermediate output, the motor control unit 17 increases the motor output above the intermediate output according to the first pressing force. When the pressing operation to the first pressing portion 11 is stopped, adjustment control is performed to reduce the motor output to an intermediate output. An intermediate output is any output that is greater than the standstill output and less than the maximum output.

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

If the pressing operation on the first pressing portion 11 is an operation in which the motor output exceeds the intermediate output from a state in which the motor output is less than the intermediate output, the motor control portion 17 controls the motor output until the pressing operation on the first pressing portion 11 is stopped. is limited to an intermediate output, and if the motor output when the pressing operation of the first pressing portion 11 is stopped is equal to or lower than the intermediate output, the motor output when the pressing operation on the first pressing portion 11 is stopped is maintained do. 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 motor output when the pressing operation on the second pressing portion 12 is stopped is equal to or lower than the intermediate output, the motor control portion 17 maintains the motor output when the pressing operation on the second pressing portion 12 is stopped. do.

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 or not the stage N is equal to or greater than the intermediate stage NM corresponding to the intermediate output. Intermediate stage NM is preferably a stage within the range of stages 5-15, for example. The intermediate output is set to, for example, about half the maximum output. Therefore, in this embodiment the intermediate stage NM is set to stage 16, for example. Note that 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 within the range of 40% to 70% of the maximum output.

In step S4, it is determined whether or not the first pressing force P1 is less than 2 kg. When it is determined in step S4 that the first pressing force P1 is equal to or greater than 2 kg, 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 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.

When it is determined in step S4 that the first pressing force P1 is less than 2 kg, the process proceeds to step S5 and reads out from the storage unit 21 the stepwise increase number M preset for the output of the pressure sensor 11a.

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. When it is less than Nmax, the process proceeds to step S7, and N+M is set as the stage N. That is, the motor output is increased to N+M stages. 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 moves 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 equal to or greater than Nmax, the process proceeds to step S11, 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 moves to step S8.

In step S8, the process waits for 0.5 seconds, for example, and proceeds to step S9.

In step S9, similarly to step S1, it is determined whether 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 S10, and the motor output is maintained at the stage N set in step S7 or step S11.

When it is determined in step S1 that the first pressing force P1 is less than 30 g, the process proceeds to step S13.

In step S13, 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 S13 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 S23, and the level N is changed to 0. That is, the driving of the motor 3 is stopped.

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

In step S17, 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 S18.

In step S18, 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 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.

In step S18, if the result of subtracting the step reduction number L from the step N is less than 1, the step moves to step S22 and the step N is changed to 1. After that, the process proceeds to step S20.

In step S20, the process waits for 0.5 seconds, for example, and proceeds to step S21.

In step S21, similarly to step S13, 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 S10, and the motor output is maintained at the stage N set in step S19 or step S22.

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 intermediate stage NM will be described. If it is determined in step S3 that the stage N is less than the intermediate stage NM, 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 intermediate step NM. If the step N plus the step increase number M in step S32 is equal to or lower than the intermediate step NM, the step moves to step S36, and the step N plus the step increase number M is set as a new step N. 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 intermediate step NM. That is, in step S32, if it is determined that the step N plus the step increase number M is equal to or greater than the intermediate step NM, the process proceeds to step S33, and the step N plus the step increase number M is the intermediate step NM. If it is determined to be less than that, the process may proceed to step S36.

In step S32, if the step N plus the step increase number M is greater than the intermediate step NM, the process proceeds to step S33. 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, the process waits for 0.5 second, for example, and proceeds to step S35.

In step S35, similarly to step S9, 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 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 intermediate stage NM. If the first pressing portion 11 is not pressed with the first pressing force P1 of 30 g or more in step S35, the process proceeds to step S37.

At step S37, the motor output is controlled in the addition/decrease control mode. The addition/subtraction control mode has characteristics indicated by a dashed line C2 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 indicates the characteristic that the motor output is limited to the intermediate stage NM.

In the adjustment control mode, if the first pressing portion 11 is pressed while the output stage of the motor 3 is maintained at the intermediate stage NM, the motor output is adjusted to the intermediate stage NM according to the first pressing force P1. In this control mode, the motor output is decreased to the intermediate stage NM if the pressing operation to the first pressing portion 11 is stopped while the motor output exceeds the intermediate stage NM.

In the control mode, the output level of the motor 3 is increased as the first pressing force P1 increases, and the output level of the motor 3 is decreased to the intermediate level NM as the first pressing force P1 decreases. In the adjustment control mode, the output stage of the motor 3 increases from the intermediate stage NM according to the first pressing force P1 only while the first pressing portion 11 is being pressed. If the pressing operation is not performed, the power level of the motor 3 is reduced to the intermediate level NM, and the power level of the motor 3 is maintained at the intermediate level NM.

In the present embodiment, the first pressing force P1 corresponding to each stage from the stage one stage larger than the intermediate stage NM to the stage corresponding to the maximum output is set from the lower limit of the first pressing force P1 detected by the pressure sensor 11a The range is divided up to the upper limit value, and the output level of the motor 3 is controlled according to the first pressing force P1.

The motor control unit 17 cancels the adjustment control mode when the output stage of the motor 3 decreases below the intermediate stage NM according to the pressing operation of the second pressing unit 12 during the adjustment control mode. Specifically, in step S38, it is determined whether or not the first pressing force P1 is 30 g or more based on the output from the pressure sensor 11a. When it is determined that the first pressing force P1 is 30 g or more, the decrease control mode is maintained and the output stage of the motor 3 is controlled in the increase/decrease control mode. When it is determined in step S38 that the first pressing force P1 is less than 30 g, the process proceeds to step S39.

In step S39, when it determines with the 1st pressing force P1 being less than 30 g, it transfers to step S39.

In step S39, it is determined whether or not the second pressing force P2 is 30 g or more. If it is determined that the second pressing force P2 is equal to or greater than 30 g, the process proceeds to step S15, and the process of decreasing the output level of the motor 3 is executed. This cancels the addition/subtraction control mode. If it is determined in step S39 that the second pressing force P2 is less than 30 g, the adjustment control mode is maintained.

As shown in FIG. 6, 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.

The motor control section 17 can set the intermediate stage NM to any output stage according to the operation of the first operation section 13 . As for the method for setting the intermediate level NM, when the motor output is stopped, for example, the first operation unit 13 is operated to switch to the setting mode for the intermediate level NM. At this time, the display control unit 18 causes the display unit 10 to display the intermediate stage NM setting mode. Then, for example, the intermediate stage NM is selected by pressing the second operating section 14 or the third operating section 15, and the intermediate stage NM is selected by operating the first operating section 13 again. set in stages.

If the motor 3 is driven with an output less than the intermediate level NM, the motor control section 17 changes the preset value of the intermediate level NM according to the operation of the first operating section 13 or the second operating section 14 .

Specifically, when the motor 3 is driven at an output stage less than the intermediate stage NM, the motor control section 17 decreases the intermediate stage NM by one stage every time the first operation section 13 is operated, The intermediate step NM is increased by one step each time the operation unit 14 is operated. The motor control unit 17 increases the intermediate step NM by one step each time the first operation unit 13 is operated, and decreases the intermediate step NM by one step each time the second operation unit 14 is operated. can be controlled to

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 intermediate stage NM changed by the operation of the first operation unit 13 or the second operation unit 14. to a preset intermediate stage NM. 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 this electric reel 100, when the motor output is at the intermediate stage NM or higher, the motor output can be adjusted according to the pressing operation to the first pressing portion 11, and the pressing operation to the first pressing portion 11 is stopped. If so, the motor output is reduced to the intermediate stage NM and maintained at the intermediate stage NM, so that the motor output above the intermediate stage NM can be flexibly adjusted. In addition, in a state where the motor output is above the intermediate stage NM, the motor output can be adjusted by an intuitive operation.

<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.

In the above-described embodiment, the motor control unit 17 stops the pressing operation on the first pressing unit 11 when the pressing operation on the first pressing unit 11 is an operation in which the motor output exceeds the intermediate output from a state in which the motor output is less than the intermediate output. The motor output was limited to an intermediate output until the However, the motor output does not necessarily have to be limited to the intermediate output when the pressing operation on the first pressing portion 11 is performed from a state in which the motor output is less than the intermediate output to an operation in which the motor output exceeds the intermediate output.

FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the characteristics of the motor control unit according to the first modified example. If the pressing operation on 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 an intermediate output or higher and from a state of less than a second intermediate output to a second intermediate output or higher. , the output of the motor may be limited to the second intermediate output until the pressing operation on the first pressing portion 11 is stopped. A second intermediate output is any output between the first intermediate output and the maximum output.

That is, the motor control section 17 may have the characteristic indicated by the dashed line C3 in FIG. The motor control unit 17 causes the pressing operation to the first pressing unit 11 to exceed the second intermediate stage NM2 from the state where the output stage of the motor 3 is equal to or higher than the intermediate stage NM and less than the second intermediate stage NM2 corresponding to the second intermediate output. In the case of operation, the motor output may be limited to the second intermediate stage NM2 until the pressing operation on the first pressing portion 11 is stopped. In this case, the motor control unit 17 controls the motor output in the adjustment control mode within the range from the second intermediate stage NM2 to the stage Nmax.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 8, in the addition/decrease control mode, an upper limit of the motor output may be provided. The upper limit output of the motor 3 in the addition/decrease control mode is set to be smaller than the maximum output of the motor 3 . For example, a moderation control mode may be performed in the range from intermediate stage NM to second intermediate stage NM2. In this case, the upper limit output stage in the moderate control mode becomes the second intermediate stage NM2. In the adjustment control mode, after the output stage of the motor 3 reaches the second intermediate stage NM2 according to the pressing operation of the first pressing portion 11, the output of the motor 3 is maintained at the second intermediate stage NM2, and the first pressing operation is performed. When the pressing operation of the portion 11 is stopped and the pressing operation of the first pressing portion 11 is performed again, the output of the motor 3 may be increased beyond the second intermediate stage NM2. Note that the upper limit of the motor output in the addition/decrease control mode may be an output stage different from the second intermediate stage 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.
